[06:30] morningall [06:30] sorry nlsthzn [06:31] only saw the work one here [06:31] np... hi uncle Kilos :) [06:32] hi nlsthzn all good there? [06:32] Not to shabby Uncle Kilos ... fresh from a night shift... no sleep until 10 tonight... (even if the brain has already shut down...) :p [06:33] ouch. [06:33] our channel shrinking all the time [06:34] and some leave the work pc online so one doesnt know if they are actually here [06:34] Low tide now :) [06:34] hehe [06:35] hey nlsthzn can you look at gtwitter [06:35] Twitter...? [06:35] i got it installed but cant find a connect button [06:35] gwibber [06:35] its in synaptic [06:35] gtwitter [06:36] gwibber uses data like i am uncapped [06:36] I have never seen or heard of gtwitter... [06:36] I can install it and see [06:37] it tries to connected but the preferences where you put username and password only has an ok button but it doesnt connect [06:38] you already have a twitter account setup? [06:38] prefs only has a sign up button not sign in [06:38] yip [06:39] from what I can see as soon as the info is added it starts running... [06:39] keeps saying posting failed [06:41] Eish... I have never heard of this app... I don't think it is used a lot... probably because it isn't that good :/ [06:41] lol [06:41] i even tried to man it but nothing [06:43] Maaz, google gTwitter on ubuntu maverick [06:43] Kilos: "Ubuntu -- Details of package python-twitter in maverick" http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/python-twitter :: "Ubuntu -- Details of package libtwitter-glib-1.0-0 in maverick" http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/libtwitter-glib-1.0-0 :: "Ubuntu 'Maverick Meerkat' erects own App Store • The Register" http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/03/ubuntu_maverick_meerkat_beta/ :: "Ubuntu Gives Maverick a shot in the ARM | OMG! Ubuntu!" htt [06:43] never mind nlsthzn i will try find what the prob is [06:43] ty [06:45] Kilos, I am not getting many hits on gtwitter... not much help out there in Internet land on it :/ [06:46] what is it actually [06:46] a client like xchat or what [06:47] i even tried python-twitter but dunno what to do there either [06:47] cant even find it [07:06] hehe nlsthzn it refreshed and last post was 94 days ago [07:07] so it cant be connected to twitter properly or something [07:08] Kilos, I will give it an install now and see... [07:08] dont worry nlsthzn [07:09] I don't worry about it :p [07:09] i just needed to find out if it was me ty [07:09] hehe [07:10] it must be disconnected for posting because the refresh works [07:10] Problem with many services like twitter is they change there API and ways to authenticate on a whim then all apps have to scramble to change :/ [07:10] oh [07:11] so then its a job for the gnome peeps [07:14] nlsthzn, i went to #gnome and left a post there [07:14] but dunno if they gonna reply [07:15] ubuntu-za seems to be the friendliest irc channel [07:15] Kilos, well I installed it... now I will wait 5 minutes and see if it updates... [07:15] then I will try and post... [07:15] Afrikaners is plesierig [07:15] hee hee [07:21] I made the mistake the minimize gtwitter... now it is gone>! [07:21] ?! [07:22] lol [07:22] open again in terminal [07:22] i did that too [07:22] hee hee hee [07:22] i rebooted [07:23] Then it says connection failed [07:23] bad application is bad... [07:24] installing it added 7 packages... removing it only removes one... [07:24] oh well [07:24] lol [07:24] can always do with more mono libraries [07:24] i also dont let any internet app start on boot [07:25] Good idea with limited cap [07:25] purge [07:25] autoremove ;) [07:29] gtwitter is actually letting posts in but doesnt show when [07:29] Just watching Guide To The Good Life. Typical thing a 15 year old does on a Saturday. [07:29] thats from some chick [07:33] lol... [07:35] maybe its one of those apps you first have to go register att [07:37] before you can post [07:38] Nah... as soon as you have a twitter account it should work (but I think for it to work properly it will be about the same data usage as gwibber) [07:38] I am getting to tired to think straight now... going to be back later... good luck Uncle Kilos [07:39] ty nlsthzn go sleep lad [07:41] Your client does not have permission to get URL /p/gtwitter/ from this server.

[16:35] didnt see it [16:36] not sure where you will find that option these days but a few years back I used to do that [16:36] ah [16:37] in firefox On your toolbar, click on Tools, then select Options, then select Content from the top bar. Uncheck the box that says load images automatically. [16:38] ok will try the fox next time [16:38] try the imglikeopera firefox addon [16:39] it allows you to easily set image loading settings per tab [16:39] will do ty Tonberry [16:39] next time i use the fox [16:39] it makes gprs tolerable [16:41] firefox is to me still the most flexible browser [16:42] so many extensions that you can load for just about any purpose you can think off [16:43] to save bandwidth you can load the following [16:43] Flashblock, Blocks Flash so it won’t get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/433/ [16:43] ImgLikeOpera, ImgLikeOpera allows load only the images that you want in Firefox browser. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1672/ [16:44] NoScript, This extension allows JavaScript, Java and other executable content to run only from trusted domains of your choice. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/722/ [16:44] AdBlockPlus, Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/ [16:45] plus it's companions like Adblock Filterset.G Updater, etc [16:45] mmm, never tried noscript [16:45] * inetpro has NoScript on by default [16:46] what does noscript do? [16:47] Kilos: many/most pages these days have javascript and other excutable code that runs after you opened the page [16:48] and those moving pics and things [16:48] the code is typically stored in separate files which are downloaded automagically [16:48] will they be blocked as well [16:48] NoScript will even stop the browser from downloading the stuff [16:49] then you have the option to whitelist a site [16:49] which will then obviously download the code and run it [16:49] ah that sounds great ty [16:50] it's mostly for fancy menus but there's lot's of other fancy stuff these days [16:51] many sites are simply not usable without the scripts [16:51] i actually just wanted to go twitter and fb to follow taras stuff but think she popular enough now [16:57] Kilos: oh and many web developers simply forget about the blind or the deaf who can no longer use these fancy websites [16:57] lol [16:57] or the aged [16:58] the youthfully handicapped [17:02] * inetpro wbb [17:49] * inetpro is back [17:50] wb [17:51] Kilos: if you didn't chat so much in IRC, you'd have more bandwidth! :-P [17:52] hee hee [17:52] you chasing me superfly [17:53] heh superfly, that is out of line :-P [17:53] nee man inetpro [17:53] inetpro: yes, well, you don't talk enough! so there! :-P [17:54] hmm... [17:54] ha ha ha [17:54] still no sign of my grass :-( [17:54] superfly: grass? [17:54] green stuff [17:54] mowed once a week [17:55] inetpro: yeah, we got a dog, so she chased the cats, and tore up the lawn.... now we just have sand [17:55] lol [17:56] so I bought some lawn seed, and closed off a section of the "lawn" and planted my lawn seed. [17:56] get a bag of LAN sprinkle and water well [17:56] KAN in die taal [17:57] oh i see its new seed you waiting for to germinate [17:57] Kilos: yes [17:57] eish [17:57] Kilos: LAN = Local Area Network [17:57] planted it last saturday, it's supposed to show up any time from today onward [17:57] limestone ammonium nitrate [17:58] :-) [17:58] hehe [17:59] Kilos: will that help it grow? [17:59] once it is already growing you can sprinkle on [17:59] and once going well you will mow twice a week [18:00] nitrate is same as what rain puts in [18:00] You know, I'm slapping myself here... why didn't I come and ask oom Kilos in the first place?! [18:00] lol [18:00] nitrogen\ [18:00] Kilos: you're not dom, I am! [18:00] makes everything grow faster [18:00] Kilos: how do we ask Maaz to give him a klap? [18:01] lol [18:01] Maaz, hit superfly [18:01] Kilos: Excuse me? [18:01] aw [18:01] stupid bot [18:01] :me lol [18:01] Maaz, slap superfly [18:01] Kilos: Sorry... [18:01] hmmm [18:02] Kilos: is it ok if any of the animals eat the nitrate by mistake? or should I keep Zak inside? [18:03] superfly: I don't think they will eat the stuff [18:03] keep zak in and it disolves fairly quickly so water till its gone [18:04] ah, OK [18:04] see, us geeks don't know this stuff, that's why we need oom Kilos around [18:04] but not too strong on new plantings as it is quite potent [18:04] lol [18:04] Kilos: is LAN like Ureum? [18:05] ureum is stronger [18:05] like pure nitrogen [18:06] lan has limestone added so peeps cant make bombs with it [18:06] on the farm we used ureum quite often [18:06] very good for maize [18:06] very potent [18:06] yeah urea is the pure potent form but can burn plants dead if not watered in properly [18:07] yep [18:07] its same as brandy or brandy and coke [18:08] end result is the same. but one takes longer [18:08] Kilos: eish, we have kids in the channel [18:08] oops [18:09] only Tonberry [18:09] and he is going uncapped so will need every cent for data [18:10] hmm... can Maaz tell is his age?
