|
| 07:02:10 PM | agamotto | GregInTexas, Yes! Amazing, no?
|
| 07:02:18 PM | Dosbomber | Hard for me to say this, but he actually looks good for 80
|
| 07:02:29 PM | agamotto | Dosbomber, Very
|
| 07:02:32 PM | GoodGuy | RobbieF-EricKidd: Watch for extensions not working on FF4
|

|
| 07:04:03 PM | dman810 | Evening
|
| 07:05:20 PM | Dave-M0DCM | Ive now got over 35 users now onto either Ubuntu or Linux Mint
|
| 07:05:34 PM | agamotto | Dave-M0DCM, You Penguinista, you!
|
| 07:05:35 PM | ajamison5579 | agamotto half of this countries talent comes from Canada
|
| 07:05:46 PM | Dave-M0DCM | thats me
|
| 07:05:49 PM | Dave-M0DCM | ;)
|
| 07:06:10 PM | agamotto | ajamison5579, Oh, I wasnt complaining, just repeating an often told joke regarding Shatner
|
| 07:06:13 PM | AspidZent | pheeew... barely made it...
|
| 07:06:19 PM | AspidZent | hello everyone...
|
| 07:06:19 PM | Maverick | Picard > Kirk
|
| 07:06:20 PM | New2Linux_2011 | How do you add a different background to a webcam? Is there a solution in Ubuntu for this?
|
| 07:06:22 PM | _Jot_ | yes! I made it work, so Im finally watching
|
| 07:06:38 PM | Dave-M0DCM | My nickname at the radio club is Pingu
|
| 07:06:42 PM | Dave-M0DCM | lol
|
| 07:07:07 PM | ajamison5579 | agamotto ah ok
|
| 07:07:23 PM | _Jot_ | arent you supposed to be fashionably late?
|
| 07:07:25 PM | Drumstick | _Jot_: Was it Flash?
|
| 07:07:37 PM | _Jot_ | it probably was storage-settings related to flash
|
| 07:07:45 PM | _Jot_ | seems you need to allow them to store stuff
|
| 07:07:51 PM | agamotto | _Jot_, I dont think that applies to American males....
|
| 07:07:58 PM | Drumstick | _Jot_: Good...I can hate with integrity
|
| 07:08:52 PM | GoodGuy | I use an Ubuntu offshoot called Pinguy OS Dave-M0DCM...might be perfect for your radio club nickname
|
| 07:08:52 PM | SammySez | having a heck of a time getting connected here
|
| 07:09:26 PM | Dave-M0DCM | yeah, I am PinguGuy
|
| 07:09:29 PM | Dave-M0DCM | :D
|
| 07:09:40 PM | agamotto | SammySez, Yes, there are a few with problems this evening, but nothing consistent
|
| 07:09:48 PM | Dosbomber | Only 47 users.. is this a holiday or something?
|
| 07:10:08 PM | gsiegel | NJ in the house!
|
| 07:10:11 PM | agamotto | Dosbomber, about average, actually
|
| 07:10:14 PM | GoodGuy | If you run Virtualization, you may wish to take a look..... its like Ubuntu with extra goodies already installed
|
| 07:10:36 PM | GoodGuy | The community seemed nice as well
|
| 07:10:41 PM | Dosbomber | I thought there were usually a bit more here
|
| 07:10:57 PM | agamotto | 40-60, depending
|
| 07:11:05 PM | Scorpio55 | Dosbomber daylight saving
|
| 07:11:09 PM | Dosbomber | Ah
|
| 07:11:11 PM | _Jot_ | theres a lot of ways to watch too, so you need to check all the feeds etc
|
| 07:11:25 PM | agamotto | Daylight saving, spring break, new beer flavors....
|
| 07:11:26 PM | Scorpio55 | 1 hour early tonight in UK
|
| 07:11:27 PM | Dosbomber | Im on the freenode chat channel
|
| 07:11:48 PM | ajamison5579 | scorpio55 blame daylight savings time
|
| 07:11:55 PM | GoodGuy | RobbieF-EricKidd: When this series if finished, any chance you can do a "The Meat" style video series
|
| 07:12:03 PM | ajamison5579 | we set the clocks back an hour a few weeks ago here in the uS and canada
|
| 07:12:05 PM | agamotto | Scorpio55, Yes, as US & Canada are observing the odd habit of altering the clock an hour forward in spring.
|
| 07:12:11 PM | Dave-M0DCM | Is KompoZer the best web design app? I currently run it, but just wondering if theres any others?
|
| 07:12:32 PM | GoodGuy | I do that all the time
|
| 07:12:33 PM | _Jot_ | Were going to have the clock change in the coming weekend, so you can bet Ill be watching the website to see how long is left tuesday, just to remind myself
|
| 07:12:38 PM | Scorpio55 | Dave-M0DCM Blue Fish
|
| 07:12:46 PM | Dosbomber | I bet a bunch of confused people will show up in about 45 minutes.
|
| 07:12:54 PM | agamotto | Dosbomber, Yeppers
|
| 07:12:56 PM | dasauto | Dave-M0DCM, need something to deal with css
|
| 07:13:16 PM | Dave-M0DCM | doesnt KompoZer do that?
|
| 07:13:19 PM | GoodGuy | Does PAE help beat the 4GB limit on a 32-bit Linux?
|
| 07:13:30 PM | RobbieF | yes goodguy
|
| 07:13:35 PM | agamotto | Hillary has been coal-mining?
|
| 07:13:50 PM | Dosbomber | Probably playing too much Minecraft.
|
| 07:13:51 PM | _Jot_ | good to hear youre getting better Hillary
|
| 07:13:53 PM | dasauto | I need software to load a live php site like wordpress template and easier way to edit css.
|
| 07:13:57 PM | GoodGuy | Does that lessen the need for runing 32-bit versions?
|
| 07:14:05 PM | agamotto | Wow, virtual lung crud....
|
| 07:14:16 PM | GoodGuy | running
|
| 07:14:21 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy, yes
|
| 07:14:27 PM | _Jot_ | Maybe Hillary can hock up a hairball or something for us, maybe that helps
|
| 07:14:30 PM | Dave-M0DCM | dont forget John De Lancy "Q!" birthday was earlier in the week
|
| 07:14:37 PM | agamotto | There will be glitches, but nothing horrific as far as I know
|
| 07:14:38 PM | GoodGuy | Cool.... learned something new
|
| 07:14:51 PM | ajamison5579 | that is due to the additions of Graphic hardware accelleration support
|
| 07:14:59 PM | agamotto | Dave-M0DCM, Yes, but can you name his character on Days of Our LIves, without the help of Google?
|
| 07:15:09 PM | Dosbomber | Wow Dave, thats really hard core geek
|
| 07:15:11 PM | dasauto | That last update to FF 3.6.? lagged real bad.
|
| 07:15:17 PM | Dosbomber | Eugene
|
| 07:15:20 PM | GoodGuy | I thought FF4 has issues with extensions
|
| 07:15:24 PM | Dave-M0DCM | erm no lol
|
| 07:15:45 PM | agamotto | Or name both of the doctor roles that Richard Biggs played on General Hospital and Days of Our Lives?
|
| 07:15:46 PM | agamotto | chuckle
|
| 07:15:46 PM | _Jot_ | His name is John DeLancie, so not so geek :)
|
| 07:15:48 PM | dasauto | GoodGuy, no problem with ones i use after today.
|
| 07:15:57 PM | GoodGuy | I updated a few mins ago (Windows) and many extensions werent compatible YET
|
| 07:16:11 PM | agamotto | _Jot_, Oh, trust me, he IS indeed a geek
|
| 07:16:46 PM | GoodGuy | It gave me a list of ones who needed updates and only two were found when I said search for them
|
| 07:16:47 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy, Well, sheeesh, give some folks a week or so ;)
|
| 07:17:09 PM | kiwi_tux | Howdy, all from Christchurch, New Zealand
|
| 07:17:11 PM | Dave-M0DCM | So I take it that Firefox 4 isnt RC??
|
| 07:17:16 PM | agamotto | Dosbomber, Correct by the way
|
| 07:17:22 PM | GoodGuy | I know agamotto... just offering a heads up in case its a showstopper for some
|
| 07:17:23 PM | AspidZent | firefox on MAC???
|
| 07:17:36 PM | AspidZent | why not Camino???
|
| 07:17:40 PM | dman810 | hello kiwi_tux
|
| 07:17:42 PM | agamotto | kiwi_tux, How goes?
|
| 07:17:48 PM | dasauto | It fast, very nice FF 4. No create as application shortcut though.
|
| 07:18:10 PM | agamotto | I will wait on FF4 with 11.04
|
| 07:18:34 PM | dasauto | agamotto, good idea on linux. not far away.
|
| 07:18:37 PM | Dosbomber | killall -humans?
|
| 07:18:45 PM | GregInTexas | ah ... I wondered how to do that!
|
| 07:18:53 PM | jaepea | @robbief or chat room i getting a new hd [sata] and have a ide..i wanna put win7 on the sata and ubuntu on the ide any software i can use to pick which hd to boot of will i still have go thru bios
|
| 07:18:54 PM | GoodGuy | Home button moved and it took me a bit to see where it moved
|
| 07:19:03 PM | agamotto | Dosbomber, Some distros actually have a neat punchline if you enter that
|
| 07:19:13 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, it also saves them if you close Firefox on purpose (or by accident), then you can restore the latest session
|
| 07:19:18 PM | Dosbomber | lol.. BenderLinux
|
| 07:19:22 PM | dman810 | Kiwi_tux how is it going in ChirstChurch after that earthquake?
|
| 07:19:52 PM | GoodGuy | I use shareware called Terabytes BootIt NG, but I think GRUB would work and thats free
|
| 07:19:53 PM | agamotto | jaepea, Just make sure that GRUB puts the boot sector on the Win drive, as it will ASSUME that it is C:
|
| 07:20:14 PM | GoodGuy | Linux doesnt care which H/D it boots from.... unlike Windows
|
| 07:20:24 PM | jaepea | ok
|
| 07:20:24 PM | Dosbomber | Ill wait to see if any of my addons are going to blow up before I upgrade to 4.0
|
| 07:20:27 PM | dasauto | Is this gnome-gmail-notifier safe to use? Anyone use it?
|
| 07:20:42 PM | GregInTexas | thats kewl
|
| 07:20:53 PM | kiwi_tux | dman810, my location was to the northwest of the city, so Im mostly ok minor building damage. Im staying away from CBD and eastern locations.
|
| 07:20:54 PM | GoodGuy | I used to boot several Linuxes within an extended partition on a second hard drive without issues
|
| 07:21:03 PM | agamotto | dasauto, No idea... I havent any experience with it
|
| 07:21:29 PM | GoodGuy | I was using BootIT NG, but dont think it matters
|
| 07:21:33 PM | agamotto | kiwi_tux, I bet Phil Keoghan is getting tired of disasters following him....
|
| 07:21:36 PM | dasauto | Im split between FF 4 and Chromium. I sorta like the idea of applications in their own window, like gmail and google voice.
|
| 07:21:45 PM | dman810 | kiwi_tux Feel bad for anyone having to go thru that!
|
| 07:21:53 PM | Maverick | I too wear glasses
|
| 07:22:20 PM | _Jot_ | even people who normally dont wear glasses often wear sunglasses, so almost everyone wears them :)
|
| 07:22:24 PM | SammySez | whos the skirt?
|
| 07:22:28 PM | kiwi_tux | agamotto, Im tired of TV footage of try-hards fronting up and getting preferencial treatment over locals.
|
| 07:22:37 PM | _Jot_ | SammySez, you still dont know Christa Wells?
|
| 07:22:40 PM | Dosbomber | "The Skirt" is a web/graphics designer
|
| 07:22:46 PM | agamotto | kiwi_tux, I can only imagine.....
|
| 07:22:49 PM | GoodGuy | Even 3D HDTV owners now _Jot_ :-)
|
| 07:22:55 PM | SammySez | nope haven
|
| 07:22:56 PM | SammySez | t
|
| 07:23:01 PM | SammySez | been around - sorry :)
|
| 07:23:17 PM | dasauto | With FF you know when site is secure, Chrome/Chromium - not so much.
|
| 07:23:36 PM | _Jot_ | GoodGuy, not all of them, thats just a temporary solution, TVs without them are already being made, so youre really foolish if you bought one or going to buy one like that
|
| 07:23:41 PM | agamotto | dasauto, Sadly, NO browser is very secure these days
|
| 07:24:12 PM | dasauto | agamotto, at least FF tries to give you a hint.
|
| 07:24:22 PM | agamotto | True, true
|
| 07:24:28 PM | Dave-M0DCM | if anyone wants an easier way to install FF4??
|
| 07:24:30 PM | GoodGuy | Im way too cheap to do that _Jot_.... we just bought a LCD TV last year, so no new 3D TV for awhile
|
| 07:24:32 PM | SammySez | and Chrome "incognito" is not very incognito
|
| 07:24:48 PM | _Jot_ | GoodGuy, I cant see 3d anyway, so Id never buy one, unless I am forced to
|
| 07:24:50 PM | Dave-M0DCM | and your using Ubuntu/Debian or Linux Mint
|
| 07:24:54 PM | Dave-M0DCM | add ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
|
| 07:24:58 PM | Dave-M0DCM | ;)
|
| 07:25:03 PM | Dave-M0DCM | and update
|
| 07:25:04 PM | dasauto | SammySez, but that app in own window is neat. Firefox seems to have killed that feature.
|
| 07:25:14 PM | GoodGuy | I saw some poor reviews for the glasses less 3D so far, but its still very new
|
| 07:25:27 PM | gsiegel | FF4 has nice new feature to prevent web following
|
| 07:25:51 PM | agamotto | _Jot_, You have depth perception issues as well?
|
| 07:26:00 PM | dasauto | gsiegel, i did not enable it because i dont know what else it prevents.
|
| 07:26:13 PM | agamotto | trimmage.... much like snippage for emails.....
|
| 07:26:23 PM | _Jot_ | agamotto, yeah, Im cross-eyed pretty much, they fixed it when I was a baby but it went wrong again, and I got a really strong prescription which also prevents it
|
| 07:26:52 PM | agamotto | _Jot_, Astigmatism is SOOOO much fun, isnt it?
|
| 07:27:05 PM | gsiegel | I have been using FF4beta for quite a while.. look forward to finall release. Will do upgrage after webcast.. gotta have priorities:)
|
| 07:27:15 PM | GoodGuy | I believe they do 3D by using diff images in each lenses.. alternate left and right eye image
|
| 07:27:42 PM | _Jot_ | agamotto, yeah, but you get used to it, I guess, you have to :)
|
| 07:27:54 PM | GoodGuy | I still want to thank whoever suggested viewing this show in FF with Adblock Plus
|
| 07:28:12 PM | dasauto | _Jot_, my father was darth vader, just kiddin he was cross eyed and in school they painted half his lens red to correct it. that in the late 40s. kids called him Redeye ;)
|
| 07:28:17 PM | GoodGuy | Made life so much easier w/o the annoying ads
|
| 07:28:38 PM | agamotto | agreed
|
| 07:28:44 PM | _Jot_ | dasauto, Im sure it didnt help much :)
|
| 07:29:16 PM | GoodGuy | I was using IE8 and it was ad city..... annoying to say the least
|
| 07:29:44 PM | jaepea | i really like the new ff4
|
| 07:29:51 PM | agamotto | Yes, interesting how WinXP users will be stuck with 7 & 8.....
|
| 07:30:13 PM | GoodGuy | Is your Home button moved jaepea?
|
| 07:30:26 PM | GoodGuy | Mine took awhile for me to see
|
| 07:30:31 PM | agamotto | Stripped out the redundant bits.... literally
|
| 07:30:38 PM | dasauto | _Jot_, actually it worked - so the story goes...
|
| 07:31:22 PM | GoodGuy | They want to make XP users to feel they are living in the past and time to spend for Win 7 if you want any newer software
|
| 07:31:23 PM | _Jot_ | dasauto, thats always good :)
|
| 07:31:37 PM | agamotto | dasauto, It can. With me, it was the alternating patch over the eye bit, along with staring at beads on string as they were being manipulated along....
|
| 07:31:42 PM | Dosbomber | If you save a JPEG as 100% quality, is it still "lossy"?
|
| 07:32:16 PM | _Jot_ | Dosbomber, yes, because it will still lose information
|
| 07:32:16 PM | dasauto | FF4 - I really wanted true vertical tabs like netbeans has. True vertical tabs on left side.
|
| 07:32:17 PM | agamotto | Has anyone closed Charlie Sheens account yet?
|
| 07:32:19 PM | GoodGuy | I still have an unopened Win7 Pro bought before the release date, so it was 50% off
|
| 07:33:01 PM | _Jot_ | GoodGuy, dont open it, or all the bugs will crawl out
|
| 07:33:05 PM | jaepea | all i c the back/foreward and home
|
| 07:33:10 PM | GoodGuy | lol _Jot_
|
| 07:33:32 PM | _Jot_ | they always prefer running systems to sitting in a box
|
| 07:33:35 PM | agamotto | Kind of like tradmarking windows.....
|
| 07:34:02 PM | GregInTexas | why I dont own apple products ...
|
| 07:34:06 PM | GoodGuy | I have tons of files Ill probably never look at, but I should save "just in case"
|
| 07:34:09 PM | Dosbomber | I have two windows in this room alone... does Micro$oft own my house?
|
| 07:34:20 PM | Dosbomber | (/sarcasm)
|
| 07:34:24 PM | RexDameon | wow long time no see cat5 has changed a lot
|
| 07:34:24 PM | GregInTexas | yes, Dosbomber, they believe they do
|
| 07:34:37 PM | GregInTexas | and your EULA says they do
|
| 07:34:40 PM | _Jot_ | I heard they do if your name is Mike Row
|
| 07:34:47 PM | agamotto | Dosbomber, I was always amazed at how window manufacturing companies didnt go after M$ for it
|
| 07:34:47 PM | GoodGuy | Just too lazy to go thru the effort of switching from XP to Win7
|
| 07:35:07 PM | agamotto | RexDameon, Yes, upgraded we have
|
| 07:35:09 PM | SammySez | heh. Just give Obama the Internet Kill Switch. Hell protect us all. heh.
|
| 07:35:21 PM | ajamison5579 | Dosbomber do not give them ideas or they will create a program that controls house hold appliances and call it House and TM it making you pay royalties every time you use the word House
|
| 07:35:55 PM | SammySez | ajamison5579 - youve pretty much described the Smart Grid technology being rolled out against our will
|
| 07:36:06 PM | RexDameon | no that docotor show already has got "House"
|
| 07:36:07 PM | GoodGuy | at least Tomahawk Cruise missle stocks will be going up
|
| 07:36:37 PM | GregInTexas | Hi Yall!
|
| 07:36:43 PM | agamotto | We are seriously considering altering the house to be off the electric grid permanently
|
| 07:36:48 PM | dasauto | F15 cost 100 million, up in smoke!
|
| 07:36:53 PM | ajamison5579 | Tom Cruise could make a killing TM the words Tom and Cruise and bam the military pays him every time they launch a TOmahawk
|
| 07:36:54 PM | GoodGuy | Clearing out some of the old supply to make room for the newer models
|
| 07:37:05 PM | GoodGuy | lol ajamison5579
|
| 07:37:06 PM | GregInTexas | isnt that pretty expensive, agamotto?
|
| 07:37:10 PM | kiwi_tux | Smart Grid is another oxymoron in the same vein as Military Intelligence.
|
| 07:37:26 PM | _Jot_ | if you can do it without needing oil and gas and such for that, Id say go for it, agamotto
|
| 07:37:51 PM | GregInTexas | my house would cost about $20,000 US
|
| 07:37:54 PM | agamotto | GregInTexas, That is what we are researching. Problem is that in our area, brownouts are so common, we might switch just to have cleaner power to the devices in the house
|
| 07:38:02 PM | GoodGuy | Get a family of hamsters and a few wheels..... almost free energy
|
| 07:38:07 PM | RexDameon | does file size of images really matter anymore with highspeed internet?
|
| 07:38:26 PM | GregInTexas | yes, RexDameon, it does
|
| 07:38:36 PM | kiwi_tux | GoodGuy, You need to feed Hamsters?
|
| 07:38:37 PM | agamotto | RexDameon, In countries with metered access, and on mobiles, you betcha
|
| 07:38:38 PM | Dosbomber | Usually theres a happy medium. You generate the power you can use, but if you need more, like using the AC in the summer time heat, you can draw some from the grid. If you can generate more than you need, you can feed the grid (but they probably wont pay you for it).
|
| 07:38:41 PM | GregInTexas | if you want a fast site
|
| 07:38:44 PM | ajamison5579 | Rexdameon only in that low sized images result in about 10-20 seconds difference in load time
|
| 07:39:00 PM | GoodGuy | Only if you want power next week :-)
|
| 07:39:07 PM | _Jot_ | RexDameon, with datalimits coming back, yes, definatly
|
| 07:39:44 PM | Dosbomber | Causes users to say "bah" and go elsewhere.
|
| 07:39:48 PM | agamotto | We have already super-insulated the house, now we are figuring if mixed solar-wind with batteries can take us off the grid
|
| 07:40:06 PM | agamotto | Perhaps a small generator on the rare occasion when everything goes bupkus
|
| 07:40:10 PM | GoodGuy | I feel theyll do it more to hurt Netflix _Jot_
|
| 07:40:15 PM | Dave-M0DCM | Oooooh Im running FF4 now
|
| 07:40:16 PM | GregInTexas | they can, agamotto, but it is more complicated than it seems
|
| 07:40:35 PM | agamotto | GregInTexas, Hence, the research
|
| 07:40:47 PM | GoodGuy | Netflix competes against Comcast On Demand and uses Comcast bandwidth against them
|
| 07:40:49 PM | GregInTexas | yea, I did (am doing) a lot of that too
|
| 07:40:53 PM | Dosbomber | I use Alleycat at work for PHP editing... looks a lot like this
|
| 07:41:07 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy, Along with ATT U-Verse and who knows what else...
|
| 07:41:13 PM | GoodGuy | Good reason for data caps to make Netflix sweat
|
| 07:41:30 PM | Dave-M0DCM | the PPA I put on here works like a charm
|
| 07:41:33 PM | Dave-M0DCM | :D
|
| 07:41:49 PM | agamotto | GoodGuy, Nah it will just lead to host ISP making their streams free and charging for anything else
|
| 07:41:53 PM | Dosbomber | Data caps are never good, and Comcast is the Internet Satan
|
| 07:42:07 PM | GoodGuy | They call their movie service On-Demand
|
| 07:42:18 PM | agamotto | Dosbomber, Mo, Mediacom is at least one step lower
|
| 07:42:36 PM | Dosbomber | Well, I dont know anything about Mediacom
|
| 07:42:42 PM | GoodGuy | Data caps are how they can do that agamotto
|
| 07:42:45 PM | Dosbomber | Im just speaking from personal experience
|
| 07:42:49 PM | agamotto | Comcast without the smart tech
|
| 07:42:49 PM | gsiegel | booo-hisss - comcast
|
| 07:43:02 PM | SammySez | it also allows the FCC to reclassify the web as a Title 2 Utility, hence can regulate "appropriate content" just like we see in Egypt, UAE, China, Libya, etc
|
| 07:43:07 PM | GoodGuy | Many call it Comcrap lol
|
| 07:43:26 PM | agamotto | Mediacom was the only cable and internet provider to score BELOW Comcast to come in dead last at Consumer Reports
|
| 07:43:44 PM | GoodGuy | Dubious honor agamotto
|
| 07:43:46 PM | gsiegel | how about "com-cast all your money this way"
|
| 07:44:04 PM | agamotto | Very... that is why we cut our cable cord to them some time ago
|
| 07:44:04 PM | GoodGuy | They just raised ours another $5 a month
|
| 07:44:26 PM | GoodGuy | I am perfectly willing to dump the TV part
|
| 07:44:39 PM | agamotto | In our area, it is now ~$70/month for analog cable
|
| 07:44:42 PM | SammySez | we jettisonned television 6 years ago
|
| 07:44:47 PM | SammySez | happily
|
| 07:44:59 PM | agamotto | SammySez, very similar here, but not as long
|
| 07:44:59 PM | GoodGuy | My wife wanted to try their phone.... I would rather try Vonage or Ooma
|
| 07:45:06 PM | gsiegel | there is so much you can watch on the web now, I have friends who cancelled their comcast and just hooked up thier laptop to the tv
|
| 07:45:24 PM | agamotto | oooooo, rubies!
|
| 07:45:29 PM | GoodGuy | Take a look at Playon gsiegel
|
| 07:45:33 PM | Dosbomber | Not really anything worth watching that the hosting channel doesnt put on the web for viewing on demand anyway.
|
| 07:45:53 PM | GoodGuy | They add more content with a little work
|
| 07:46:37 PM | SammySez | is there anyway to kill these google ads on the Ustream player?
|
| 07:46:41 PM | GoodGuy | Windows software, so wont help Linux users yet
|
| 07:46:54 PM | agamotto | AdBlock Plus
|
| 07:46:56 PM | GoodGuy | Use Firefox with Adblock Plus
|
| 07:47:09 PM | GoodGuy | Havent seen an ad since
|
| 07:47:12 PM | SammySez | thx
|
| 07:47:12 PM | GregInTexas | there must be some way of killing the ads because Im not getting them
|
| 07:47:21 PM | Dosbomber | I use Noscript... seems to take care of it as well
|
| 07:47:34 PM | agamotto | Either/both
|
| 07:47:46 PM | GregInTexas | Im using neither (am using FF)
|
| 07:48:28 PM | agamotto | I think my filters are AdBlock Plus, Ghostery, and NoScript... if memory serves
|
| 07:48:56 PM | SammySez | I have no aesthetic sense when it comes to front end design - ugh!
|
| 07:49:03 PM | GregInTexas | Ive always gotten the ads before ... dunno what I did to get rid of them
|
| 07:49:03 PM | GoodGuy | I have those installed also, but I believe I disabled Ghostery and NoScript
|
| 07:49:25 PM | agamotto | Ooooooo, hand-massaged web coding!
|
| 07:49:32 PM | SammySez | google ads pUstream player window
|
| 07:49:45 PM | GregInTexas | I hand code web ...
|
| 07:50:11 PM | _Jot_ | problem with webpages is that they are just requests to a browser to show something in a different way, so if the browser chooses to show it as pink, or as full-screen red box or something, thats perfectly valid too
|
| 07:50:11 PM | GoodGuy | Ghostery disabled itself due to FF4 upgrade
|
| 07:50:12 PM | agamotto | Reminds me of my old HTML-by-hand days
|
| 07:50:57 PM | dasauto | agamotto, i will try noscript again. a while back i installed all that blocking stuff and it required too much interaction.
|
| 07:51:00 PM | agamotto | What little HTML I learned, that should be
|
| 07:51:05 PM | GregInTexas | you should try it again, agamotto, its good for the soul :-)
|
| 07:51:22 PM | agamotto | dasauto, it can be trying at times.... like weekly kernel updates!
|
| 07:51:30 PM | GoodGuy | I never touched mine and no ads here dasauto
|
| 07:51:58 PM | Dosbomber | Noscript requires a fair bit of interaction, until you get your trusted sites squared away
|
| 07:51:59 PM | GoodGuy | Adblock Plus updates the lists itself iirc
|
| 07:52:05 PM | GregInTexas | ustream usually has ads ...
|
| 07:52:09 PM | agamotto | GregInTexas, I may be doing so shortly with our LUG site, once we wrest it out of the hands of the current owner.
|
| 07:52:43 PM | GregInTexas | I maintain a bunch of sites that I recoded in html5 ... pretty fun
|
| 07:52:46 PM | SammySez | i cant see the file name he is editing - is that a CSS file or something?
|
| 07:52:50 PM | dasauto | in new FF 4, adblock blocks top of page in mail.google.com. I think the top line with #@#$%@#8# need removed fixes it.
|
| 07:53:07 PM | dasauto | something like that
|
| 07:54:16 PM | SammySez | must be
|
| 07:54:32 PM | agamotto | white space so to speak?
|
| 07:54:43 PM | GregInTexas | I use a reset file for doing all that stuff
|
| 07:55:24 PM | dasauto | adblock plus block entire header or top of page after installing FF 4. I disabled top line on blocked items on that page and it now works.
|
| 07:55:29 PM | SammySez | heh. AWN. I removed it. Took up too much real estate on my screen. :)
|
| 07:55:34 PM | cool-m | hi
|
| 07:55:45 PM | mathman47 | Smile, youre on Cat5.TV
|
| 07:55:45 PM | _Jot_ | hello
|
| 07:56:06 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, you forgot to mention that you dont have to crash Firefox, if you close it, you can restore the latest session to get all your tabs back
|
| 07:56:09 PM | GregInTexas | hey!
|
| 07:56:28 PM | agamotto | RobbieF, Q: What causes that white space to be there in the first place?
|
| 07:57:14 PM | SammySez | anyone here have one of those "touchscreen" desktops by chance? I am interested to know if you still use the touch or just go back to a mouse. My dad is eyeing one, and I think it is a novelty that will wear off.
|
| 07:57:22 PM | agamotto | Ahhh, syntax highlighting....
|
| 07:57:41 PM | _Jot_ | SammySez, touchscreens are nice for some things, but suck for precise control, and forget typing with them
|
| 07:57:43 PM | GregInTexas | I have a pen touch desktop (tablet)
|
| 07:57:47 PM | Dosbomber | Darn right.. Syntax highlighting = win
|
| 07:57:48 PM | johnny5 | Notepad++
|
| 07:57:49 PM | domsnet | netbeans
|
| 07:57:59 PM | _Jot_ | SammySez, I never understand how people can say it is good for browsing, how are you going to type an address that is 20-50 characters long
|
| 07:58:00 PM | GregInTexas | dont use it often, but sure is handy for drawing something and capturing it
|
| 07:58:00 PM | GoodGuy | I think the Ubuntu ppl are thinking it will get popular
|
| 07:58:07 PM | dasauto | PHP & CSS editor? I miss it???
|
| 07:58:14 PM | SammySez | I have tablet too - used the pen for about a week and never found a use for it
|
| 07:58:16 PM | mathman47 | Use Notepad ++
|
| 07:58:18 PM | domsnet | netbeans qworks great
|
| 07:58:25 PM | GregInTexas | well, in ubuntu, it would be useful for loading on a phone
|
| 07:58:26 PM | cool-m | any recommendation for light weight linux for low req systems
|
| 07:58:27 PM | agamotto | SammySez, Most go back to the mouse for the sheer problem of the screen not being on the desk so to speak. Some of the newer units by Acer and HP solve this by tilting/folding down toward the desktop, so you can use it more naturally
|
| 07:58:34 PM | domsnet | notepad++
|
| 07:58:39 PM | GregInTexas | is web developer available yet on FF4 ?
|
| 07:58:46 PM | dman810 | Most of us already have FF4 running thanks to you Robbie!
|
| 07:58:51 PM | domsnet | wordtab
|
| 07:58:53 PM | SammySez | thx - I think he wont like it very long and will go back to mouse / KB
|
| 07:58:53 PM | AspidZent | I checked out skywriter today... now named ACE... awesome... for code collaboration...
|
| 07:58:55 PM | Maverick | ommwriter
|
| 07:58:55 PM | domsnet | netbeans
|
| 07:58:57 PM | dasauto | No No, for Linux :)
|
| 07:59:00 PM | agamotto | cool-m, Puppy Linux, or DSL linux
|
| 07:59:09 PM | domsnet | netbeans
|
| 07:59:12 PM | AspidZent | and maybe using the chrome laptops for work...
|
| 07:59:13 PM | cool-m | thanks
|
| 07:59:20 PM | SammySez | Eric got a lot better looking and lost some weight here
|
| 07:59:23 PM | GoodGuy | Tiny Core Linux also
|
| 07:59:26 PM | Dosbomber | Alleycat is a decent PHP editor, free, and has syntax highlighting.
|
| 07:59:33 PM | cool-m | thanks guys
|
| 07:59:35 PM | mathman47 | What happens if Robbie goes over?
|
| 07:59:37 PM | domsnet | netbeans
|
| 07:59:46 PM | GregInTexas | Ill look at Alleycat ...
|
| 07:59:48 PM | _Jot_ | SammySez, I did get a touchscreen-monitor for one of my computers, to test it out, and it works fine for normal programs etc, like when I read something, I touch the screen to pagedown and such, instead of grabbing the mouse, and for starting stuff etc
|
| 07:59:49 PM | dasauto | i will try netbeans and alleycat, thanks all.
|
| 07:59:50 PM | Dosbomber | Alleycat might be windows only though
|
| 07:59:53 PM | cool-m | eclipse
|
| 07:59:55 PM | domsnet | great for php too
|
| 07:59:58 PM | agamotto | SammySez, Give those newer Acer and HP units a look-over, they might fit the bill
|
| 08:00:04 PM | Drumstick | Thanks RobbieF and Christa!!
|
| 08:00:14 PM | cool-m | cya...god nite
|
| 08:00:18 PM | _Jot_ | RobbieF, have a drink, youve done nothing but talk!
|
| 08:00:22 PM | GregInTexas | eclipse is really hard to configure ...
|
| 08:00:22 PM | AspidZent | excellent show people!!!
|
| 08:00:22 PM | domsnet | night
|
| 08:00:29 PM | dasauto | later cool dudes... :*)
|
| 08:00:32 PM | kiwi_tux | Bye all
|
| 08:00:38 PM | GregInTexas | great show, yall!
