Went out for a paddle again :)

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

On my epic quest to go and get a pint at the anchor (some reviews here, also see picture in last post) I went for another paddle near Woodseaves. Paddled all the way there and got there, hurrah people in the garden all enjoying a beer / cider and got to the door just as they had closed :(

So then had to paddle all the way back and then on to Nordbury Junction which was open but was not that special :(

On the water again :)

Went out again yesterday for a paddle :)

A close up:

Sadly this was closed when we went but should be open at the weekend :)

I am just experimenting with Drivel, an gnome online/offline blog editor for Linux :)

If all goes well this should appear online! :)

edit: this should test the updates….

Yipee went for a paddle :)

identi.ca – google talk / pidgin problems fixed

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Just a quicky,  to get identi.ca working with pidgin:

1.  Enter your gmail address in identi.ca

2.  In pidgin add update@identi.ca as a buddy

3.  You will get an authorise request (or 4 :) ) just authorise the first one and give it a sane name like Identi.ca

4. Try sending it an IM,  this will probably fail with a message :

Identi.ca: [Identi.ca] Unknown user; go to http://identi.ca/settings/im to add your address to your account

5. Look at what username your message went from in my case it was foo@gmail.com/Home

6. Pop back into the Identi.ca web page for IM settings and change your IM name to what ever it sent it as

7. You will get a message from Identi.ca saying basically click on this link to confirm your jabber id.

8. Click on it.

Done :)
