[07:33] Maaz, ty [07:33] You are welcome KilosU [07:39] Maaz: thanks [07:39] charlvn: No problem [07:39] hi KilosU [08:08] i am busy installing the beta2 of 12.10 inside vmware [08:09] so far so good, except one problem: the live cd didn't reboot properly after the install so i had to manually power down the vm [08:09] but after booting it back up again it's working fine [08:10] another weird thing is that i have a floppy disk icon in the left menu even though i don't have a floppy drive on this vm [08:10] lol [08:10] besides, who still uses floppies?! [08:11] they seem to be useful if you wanna update bios [08:11] they don't even sell them anymore - this workstation of mine is 4 years old and it doesn't even have a floppy drive [08:11] most new bios updaters have flash boot support as far as i know [08:12] they have to - you don't get floppy drives anymore. :) [08:13] on my pc it says save the update to floppy before flashing [08:14] KilosU: where do you buy the floppies? from a museum? :) [08:14] i got quite a few [08:14] the image that came to mind [08:14] you want some? [08:14] picture of indiana jones holding a floppy and saying "This belongs in a museum!" [08:15] i started here on a old 486 and nearly everything was on floppy [08:15] hehe Tonberry [08:16] with old pcs and using winsucks you need floppy to install software to make cdrom seen [08:16] well my first computer was an intel 80188 and it only had the old 5,25 inch floppies [08:16] those were floppies [08:16] i remember i used to do that even on my mom's old pentium 1 [08:16] these small ones are actually stiffies [08:16] first install dos, then install cd drivers, then windows [08:17] yeah but people only call them stiffies in south africa [08:17] overseas it's considered rude ;) [08:17] yip i remeber the dos installs [08:17] whew [08:17] ah [08:17] internationally stiffies are known as 3,5 inch floppies [08:17] even though they aren't floppy at all :) [08:17] lol [08:17] actually the whole floppy / stiffie naming is quite gross :P [08:18] you come to a noob and ask "do you have a floppy" and they get irritated with you [08:19] lol [08:19] modern peeps have dirty minds [08:20] minds have been dirty long before I was born [08:20] yup :D [08:20] lol [08:26] bbl work === Digi||Gram is now known as DigiGram [08:31] hi DigiGram [08:31] hi KilosU [09:41] hi drussell new week on the way hey [09:41] never ends [09:42] KilosU: Yup, Monday comes round all too quickly ;o) You have a good weekend?

[10:50] afternoon [10:50] hi Squirm [10:51] what you wanna do DigiGram ? [10:51] for wqork? [10:51] work? [10:52] I'm getting ADSL at home, so I want an ADSL modem, but one with WiFi [10:52] I see they still sell some without wifi [10:53] hmmm [10:53] I would recommend a Netgear [10:53] not cheap, but it should last you quite a while [10:54] Just got that recommendation from someone else as well [10:54] I don't know the brands, and after I've used some D-Link gear at work, thats a no-go [10:54] I used to supply the DGN1000 [10:54] at cost from a supplier it was about R700 [10:55] but I've had no returns [10:55] to get it going I'll get an el-cheapo, that I can keep as a spare later on [10:57] DigiGram, how many pcs you wanna couple [10:58] Main HTPC can go via ethernet or wifi, laptop and room HTPC via wifi, and then 2 or 3 phones and iPad. On occasion another laptop or so [10:58] maybe look for a Trendnet modem? we use a few Trendnet products and they're reasonable. Haven't really had any issues with their switches/media converters/AP's [10:58] will have a look thanx [11:00] we get them from a supplier. but I think I've seen the routers in somwhere like Incredible Corruption. So you could find it on the shelf somewhere [11:00] just whatever you do, stay away from tenda [11:00] ooh, takealot sells Trendnt [11:00] *trendnet [11:10] Netgear N150 DGN1000 WIRELESS ADSL2 + MODEM ROUTER for R599 looks good [11:11] or TrendNET 300Mbps for R507 [11:11] maybe a better deal [11:24] yo amanica [11:24] meeting tonight [11:25] superfly, humour as in funny is spelt how [11:25] Maaz, spell humour [11:25] KilosU: That seems correct.

[12:07] DigiGram: personally, I like the Negears [12:07] Netgear [12:07] I'll have a look Squirm [12:07] but if the Trendnet will keep up, then I don't mind [12:08] obviously if it only allows 2 wifi devices or something stupid like that, then I'll rather spend more [12:08] so far i think magespawn and/or inetpro [12:09] nuvolari, is house hunting [12:10] KilosU: hmm...

[18:48] Kilos: what are you talking about? [18:48] felix [18:48] ahh [18:48] Cantide, what speed does it give there [18:49] depends on drag [18:49] Kilos: he was up there in the skies with very little resistance [18:49] in the stratosphere [18:49] oh as in outa space [18:49] almost [18:49] very close [18:49] therefore less drag [18:49] magespawn: well It is only a couple of days so I think the only way to get them in time is to do it here. £1.75 for 3 sheets +shipping [18:50] that is unbelievably fast if you think about it [18:50] well there's still a long way to go before he would be outside I think [18:50] magespawn: the quick quote I got was about 50c per 3x4cm sticker if you buy 550 [18:50] istnt outa space a vacuum [18:50] but he went higher than the average wheather balloom [18:50] amanica i am sure we can help cover the costs [18:50] (that is locally) [18:51] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_Velocity_%28video_game%29 does anyone remember this? :D [18:51] 39kms I think [18:51] amanica, i am keen on a sticker [18:52] thats faster than a 9mm bullet if i remember right [18:52] 1200fps [18:53] cant work it out [18:53] yes magespawn, Cantide I think I'll get them made and sell them at cost, even post it locally if anybody is interested.. [18:53] too tired [18:53] keep us posted amanica [18:53] cool [18:53] i may want a few [18:53] provided i don't have to trade them for a kidney [18:54] lol [18:54] what quality? [18:54] lol [18:54] what quality kidney [18:54] just watching Hak5 Toor Camp video [18:54] Cantide: I dont know what quality they will be, I think I must go pay them a visit and see. [18:55] okay :) [18:55] those aluminium ones look awesome, but probably too costly for everyone's taste [18:55] yeah. [18:56] I can also get "domed" stickers but they cost R5! [18:56] will get some in any case [18:56] that is not too bad I think [18:56] "domed" ? those that bulge? [18:56] i would pay R 5 for a sticker [18:56] I think so yes. like a gell coat [18:56] R 10 even [18:56] oh [18:56] i prefer the aluminium ones '-' [18:57] but of course if many have to be made at once, then it'll have to be the same for everyone [18:57] * Cantide goes with the flow [18:58] http://www.stickerprinters.co.za/index.php/domed-stickers A domed sticker is the liquid polyurethane, which consists of honey, flows to the border of the vinyl shape and is trapped by capillary attraction to the border. The liquid is then cured to create a complete product with a 3D effect [18:58] i think anything under R15 would be easy for most [18:58] hubx, you must visit here all the time [18:58] or stay not visit [18:59] Kilos, yes I added it to permanent IRC list ;) [19:00] yay [19:00] we need numbers [19:00] havent grown in years [19:00] so...

[19:03] like who is involved, how it all runs [19:03] amanica: those are actually not alluminium [19:04] I think it's just vinyl [19:04] oh [19:04] we got some sites but dont ask me for links [19:04] they look nice though '-' [19:04] Kilos, okay :'( [19:04] I will search :) [19:05] inetpro, you got links [19:05] drubin: what did those cost to print, do you remember [19:05] Maaz, ubuntu-za sites [19:05] http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-za https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam https://www.facebook.com/groups/ubuntuza/ https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-za http://ubuntu-za.org [19:05] * inetpro should perhaps find out where I can print them here in Pretoria [19:05] there Cantide [19:06] Kilos: what links you looking for?

[19:24] ya he used to work [19:25] tumbleweed: it definitely used to work [19:25] but to read tweets, not post [19:26] it even worked for floss.pro and identica [19:26] nuvolari: good night [19:27] amanica: a sticker for the WIN key would be nice [19:27] but that is very small [19:27] hahaha [19:27] inetpro: yeah have to buy 750 of those at a time... [19:27] cokey pen works [19:27] inetpro, FTW! [19:28] Cantide: what did I do now? [19:28] inetpro: oh, indeed. something must have changed [19:28] "for the win (key)" [19:28] so does spray paint Kilos [19:28] sorry, i like puns [19:28] lol [19:28] ahh, lol [19:29] or tippex or nail varnish [19:29] but my 'super' keys are not smooth, so it's tricky [19:29] I have not had much success with cokey. just scissors sometimes.. [19:29] and i will not keep this keyboard for long ,_, sadly [19:29] and not so wide spread [19:29] whats a super key? [19:29] win key [19:30] Ubuntu seems to refer to it as a super key [19:30] who named it a super key? [19:30] ^ [19:30] Kilos: that's the one [19:30] oh [19:30] what does it do actually [19:30] Kilos, are you in unity? [19:30] ya [19:30] Kilos: do you have UNity? [19:30] yes [19:30] press and hold it [19:30] hold down [19:31] yes, haha [19:31] * Cantide ^5s inetpro [19:31] how long [19:31] a few seconds, and keep it pressed [19:31] oh i cant enter then [19:31] you should see a list of keyboard shortcuts [19:31] it did nothing [19:31] even on there it refers to it as the super key [19:31] weird o_O [19:32] then press it + the relevant number to open the numbered app on the menu [19:32] where must i see them [19:32] Kilos: on the left hand menu [19:32] oh i see numbers [19:32] Kilos, what happens when you tap the key? does the dash open? [19:32] yeah! [19:32] on my running apps [19:33] should be numbers on the first 10 'o' [19:33] top panel flashes something top left [19:33] * Cantide thinks that Kilos is running a faulty version of unity [19:33] * Cantide hides [19:33] haha [19:33] Kilos: now press Super+1 [19:33] dont say that i just made a backup [19:33] and then Sper+2 [19:34] oops [19:34] you get the idea [19:34] oh it opened home [19:34] i see what it does [19:34] unity makes up with it's shortcomings with nifty shortcut keys [19:34] easier to go click there [19:34] umm [19:34] if you hand is on your mouse, i guess [19:34] me hates the mouse [19:34] your hand * [19:34] * Cantide agrees with inetpro [19:35] I even bought a better mouse, but i still dislike using it .-. [19:35] you guys dont have to look where you are typing [19:35] mouse is one arrow to follow [19:35] * inetpro is to lazy to lift the hand from the keyboard in order to find the mouse [19:35] rofl [19:36] also, keyboard is more accurate for me :) [19:36] and more efficient when work volume is high [19:36] like every day at work ._. [19:36] julle twee oog monsters [19:37] inetpro, Kilos: So, we were using an Atom API that has been turned off [19:37] patches are welcome :) [19:37] tumbleweed: eish [19:37] oh my [19:37] twitter turned it off? [19:37] why does Twitter change it's API faster than I change underwear? [19:37] its * [19:37] tumbleweed: so it was reading from the rss feed? [19:38] I think there's still a way to do that [19:38] inetpro: the Atom feed [19:38] we switched to it, from the json API because the json API was excluding retweets [19:38] no idea if that's been fixed [19:39] we need a python guy to make that patch [19:39] one thats not busy all the time [19:39] tumbleweed: https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=inetpro [19:40] that is my feed ^^ [19:40] inetpro: the API vesrion 1 has been deprecated [19:40] it's still working [19:40] yes, but who knosw how much longer [19:41] true [19:41] * inetpro wonders why they do that [19:41] it's so useful [19:43] night guys. sleep tight [19:43] i gotta leave pc on [19:43] night Kilos [19:43] scared i lose iptables thingie [19:43] night Kilos '< [19:45] tumbleweed: hmm... looks like it will cease functioning this month already [19:46] * inetpro reading https://dev.twitter.com/docs/faq#11716 [19:47] the relevant code is in ibid/plugins/social.py [19:47] we just need to investigate if we are still abiding by the terms of their API [19:47] and whether the JSON API now does what we need [19:48] * inetpro has never worked with JSON [19:48] JSON :'( [19:49] it nearly drove me mad once [19:49] and i gave up [19:49] JSON is a really nice format to work with [19:50] when you know what you're doing, i guess [19:50] i didn't :) [19:54] hi guys, sorry was afk for a bit [19:54] what's up with the twitter thing? i got some experience with it [19:56] so the problem is here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ibid-core/ibid/trunk/view/head:/ibid/plugins/social.py [19:56] ? [19:57] charlvn: what's the new way to talk to twitter, say I want the latest posting from inetpro [19:58] Maaz: latest tweet from inetpro [19:58] charlvn: No such twit [19:58] that's the problem right? [19:58] give me one min [19:58] eh, yes :-) [19:58] no problem, looking at it now [19:59] ok this is very irritating [20:00] if i do this i get a full response: https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=inetpro [20:00] if i do this i get a bad authentication code: https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=inetpro [20:00] it used to be that you can just do a call anonymously [20:00] but in v1.1 of the api it seems like the bot needs to authenticate first? [20:00] exactly [20:00] https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline [20:00] that's crap imho [20:00] :( [20:01] twitter has been tightening up it seems [20:01] charlvn: especially when twitter is mostly public [20:02] they are really tightening the screws [20:04] yeah i don't like it [20:04] the one easiest way of doing this would be "scraping" the html [20:04] that's going to work nicely [20:05] yeah imho that is the best way to do it, although it is going to need changing if twitter decides to restructure their html in some major way [20:05] charlvn: scraping from? [20:05] i also don't know if it's against their terms of service [20:06] reading the latest tweet directly from the html of the usual web page you see - https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline [20:06] ah sorry - i meant to post http://twitter.com/inetpro [20:06] I think it's best to follow their recommended methods [20:06] there's a lot of abuse [20:06] no, scraping will certainly be against the terms of service [20:07] you basically need this part: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1281872/ [20:07] if 1.1 requires authentication, we'll have to register ibid [20:07] hmmm, yeah i thought as much [20:07] so I can understand some of the reasoning for tightening the screws [20:07] well that's probably the only option then [20:07] yeah they are under heavy load and need high amounts of server resources [20:07] tumbleweed: ahh, that would be the way to do it [20:08] although quite honestly i think the thing that helped make them popular in the first place is probably their easy api [20:08] anyway, that's irrelevant now [20:09] the irritating thing about it is that you will need to pass the calls through oauth [20:09] https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth [20:09] that is not the simplest thing to do but it's not that hard either [20:10] you basically need to get a token and then use that token to "sign" the calls with [20:10] they also have https://dev.twitter.com/opensource [20:11] https://dev.twitter.com/docs/twitter-libraries#python [20:11] i would say just use one of those? [20:13] wow, so many libs [20:14] why is tweepy in bold? [20:20] i assume it's a recommended library [20:20] probably best to use that - has the biggest chance of being complete and up to date? [20:20] although, the last change seems to be from 2 months ago [20:20] not too bad though [20:21] the mailing list seems active: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/tweepy [20:21] they have an irc channel on freenode too - #tweepy [20:23] charlvn: I think it's old [20:23] this one doesn't look too bad either: https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/twython [20:23] most of those look pretty old actually [20:24] i don't like that they don't even have an oauth example and this looks really outdated: http://tweepy.github.com/ [20:24] twitter dropped support for basic authentication years ago [20:24] yep [20:24] i have the best feeling about twython from those in the list [20:24] but that's at first glance [20:24] and python-twitter ? [20:25] http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/source/browse/ [20:25] none of the code has been updated in 2012 it seems [20:25] hmm... [20:25] this is better: http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/source/list [20:26] so maybe the whole libs page is outdated [20:26] https://dev.twitter.com/docs/twitter-libraries#python [20:27] yeah i get that feeling [20:27] maybe it's worth asking here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/twitter-development-talk [20:27] this group is pretty active [20:27] sorry this: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/twitter-development-talk [20:28] new google groups links are weird :/ [20:28] true [20:29] but that forum also seems old [20:29] am i looking at it wrong or is that group also dead now?! [20:29] all the posts seem to be from 2011 - i used to belong to that group for a few years [20:29] oh, they got their own system now: https://dev.twitter.com/discussions [20:30] ahh [20:30] sorry i am clearly out of date myself :) [20:30] (i have not done much twitter-related development in the last two years or so) [20:32] i think last time when i did something i used this oauth2 library directly (not any twitter-specific libraries): https://github.com/simplegeo/python-oauth2 [20:33] but i also don't know if that is still the best library to use at the moment [20:33] it was very actively developed at the time [20:33] good night all [20:33] magespawn: good night [20:34] i tried to do a search for "python" on the new discussions page but it asked me to login and i don't have an active account atm [20:34] magespawn: night! [20:34] charlvn: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview#JSON_support_only [20:35] very interesting [20:35] yeah everything is moving to json [20:35] i also need to go, sorry it is getting late and i need to work tomorrow :) [20:35] nn all [20:35] charlvn: please keep digging there [20:35] eish
