is there an alternative to liferea? ideally gtk based. alternatively can i export/import with akkregator? i need a good d/top rss reader
@FireRabbit mostly documentation - as in how does one enable X service, or how does one configure Y function. thats my main issue
it's official im living in the house of the damned, the pox has brocken out! oh well time to get the children thru chickenpox
determined to give Synapse a good going over (in the nicest way) so i can provide useful feedback to @FireRabbit
is there any reason transferring music to an ipod has to cane the crap out of my cpus?
@riggwelter aha! thanks for the enlightenment, you truly are intouch with the grey haired old man in the clouds :)
@riggwelter i was a touch hasty in praising you earlier - all my music is in MP3 yet banshee canes the crap out of the cpus

@dazuk hopefully Synapse will be ported soon. it can do plain XMPP but also does a lot more. im enjoying quite a bit
i have been trying now for almost 36hrs solid to have my 6576tracks in banshee transfered to my ipod with very little joy :(
Tambet Ingo is as @riggwelter said - Thor! his god like NetworkManager skills have enabled S60 phones to work as 3G modems at last :D
RT @riggwelter http://is.gd/q7sp - Novell bug 433936 fixed by the mighty Tambet, update pending. All hail Tambet! #openSUSE

anyone usinf tweet.im to post to twitter via XMPP? cant seem to get it to work here :(
aperently there is a very strong alliance between Microsoft, Intel and a specific hardware vendor. this could be interesting for me
@andyfoulsham you're actually in the wrong part of the world but right about it being 4 letters :)
watching @mjasay & @daveofdoom goofing off, scaring children and yammering about web 2.bollox :)
go figure, banshee was using >120% cpu to transfer audio to ipod rhythmbox is only using 20% cpu. really need to file a bug
gutted that even rhythmbox fails to shift music onto the bloddy ipod, the pod is now bitching about being out of space with 74GB of "other"

partial victory in the fight to get music onto my shitty ipod. amarok2 managed to get all the music on in double quick time and not cane cpu
@LisaH im glad there is some entertainment about it :) what i'd really like to know is HTF so many folk become a fanboi with such crap
@mjasay have you tried blip.tv? personally i prefer them over vimeo but almost anything is better than youtube
anyone know of good xmpp gateways? i'm using tweet.im for twitter looking for others so i can really try and spend some time using Synapse
@jzb kindly ask the Foundation to spell our distro correctly!!! it's openSUSE, and for those struggling to grasp it - o p e n S U S E
@jzb if you're in FL please do me a favour, it involves a swift clip to the back of the head for your SO :D
for some reason tweet.im displays some profile pics in original size and not thumbnail, rather disconserting especially when @mauropm tweets
ok im starting to grow to like Synapse alot now. the banshee reporting works a charm. simple thing but neat
@storming i had the same issue, except mine was with Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs. they asked me to call them to confirm my details!

@decriptor if you're on i586 you can get it from my home repo - the spec is there too. just trying to iron out a 64bit issue now

oops, why can package deps not take into account typos by packagers? oh and why can *all* distros name packages the same?
why do i insist on causing myself so much pain trying to get seamless ipod syncing?!! this is just so painful when it shouldnt be
