In fact we might get rid of one year. That alone is worth the lawyer.

It immediately stopped my plans for a new system.

I was thinking of installing 12.04 on brand new hardware.

htorque

:-(

ask horst köhler how to get a good deal for a credit :P

Takkat

rofl

I need a credit I will never have to pay back. But unfortunately I am not an EEC country.

htorque

uhm, wulff i meant

Takkat

If they gave me 3 millions I might even try to pay 1% interest on that.

htorque

too tired :D

Takkat

22:14

I still have no idea why it's Wulff and not anybody else...

...me e.g.

htorque

Takkat

I'd even try not to spend more money than I have.

Promised!

I'd try hard to.

But now - I can't even try to try. Not under these circumstances.

jrg

@JorgeCastro done.

htorque

just try to avoid jail - no ubuntu there. ;)

Takkat

That is a sensible reason to avoid it indeed.

Icedrake

22:19

Hey everyone.

Need to take a creative break so came here.

Writing an essay needs some serious mental focus. >.<

Takkat

Hi @Icedrake - so maybe write nonesense then?

You can always cut it out later.

htorque

i always start with lorem ipsum.

Icedrake

@Takkat Tried that... and then I thought to myself what the heck am I doing? :P

Takkat

You need stuff to cut out easily. Otherwise cutting is a pain

htorque

don't need to write it yourself: lipsum.com

Takkat

22:22

Famous people became famous by c&p

jrg

let it snow into google.

htorque

@Takkat but they also fell deep. very deep. :D

Takkat

@htorque they are about to crawl back...

like maggots.

Still c&p-ing

Now they even look like Lothar Matthäus :D

htorque

you already said "like maggots" :P

jrg

@RolandTaylor 2buntu room?

Roland Taylor

22:25

Takkat

@jrg nice!

Icedrake

@jrg Could I ask you a quick question about web dev?

jrg

@Icedrake ask away!

I might not answer right away - I'm working on my latest project.

Icedrake

@jrg How can I remove the link coloring and underlining of my twitter feed that I've added to the sidebar on my website? I've tried various things, like adding no text decoration under the div tag for the feed in CSS, but nothing I've tried has worked.

I can get the code to you if you want.

jrg

@Icedrake that?

Icedrake

22:34

Mhm.

We should probably continue this in the web dev room btw

jrg

nah, no need tbh. nobody else is doing anything around here. :P

Icedrake

If you say so. :D

Tom Brossman

Don't mind me, I might learn something too.

jrg

@Icedrake so, i have to be lazy and ask

Icedrake

@jrg Ask away.

jrg

22:37

are you using the code that twitter provides, did you write your own, or...?

Icedrake

Got this this morning, give me a sec while I find the source.

Well I can't find it in my history lol

But do you want the code for it?

jrg

you're calling this and then parsing it somehow... whut. - twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/…

OH. the twitter blogger JS.

ok.

How did you add that code that didn't work?

htorque

good night everyone!

Icedrake

Used this with two script lines:

@htorque Good night. :)

The two script lines:

jrg

and what was the CSS you tried?

Icedrake

22:48

#twitter_div{text decoration: none;}

Roland Taylor

You need to find the id/class of the generated content and see if you can override that

If you are in Firefox or Chrome this should be easy.

Icedrake

Using Chrome, so how would I go about doing that?

jrg

`a:-webkit-any-link {user agent stylesheet
color: -webkit-link;
text-decoration: underline;
cursor: auto;
}`

thats the CSS that is currently being used.

(at least for chrome)

so, what you need to do,

is override that.

Icedrake

This?

.override twitter_div{
text-decoration:none;
}

jrg

should work.

Icedrake

22:56

Doesn't do anything. :(

jrg

hm.

odd.

i'll look into it in a little bit.

Icedrake

Alright, thanks.

Roland Taylor

there is the !important option

or flag or w/e it's called

but I've never used !important - so I have little clue on how it's meant to be used

in any case though the problem might lie in the fact that the code is being generated from javascript after parsing the HTML+CSS

the solution might involve more javascript...

Icedrake

@jrg I might have an idea. Where/how did you get the code that you got above?

What I was thinking was to get to the source of the code jrg has, and change that itself to say no text decoration.

Roland Taylor

Chromium's inspector

... why can't edit my last msg?

Icedrake

23:08

If you go here:

twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js

and remove the style="font-size:85%" part, could that remove the formatting and allow it to be changed by css?

Roland Taylor

yes

Icedrake

By the way, I got rid of <li> </li> as it served no function.

@RolandTaylor Well all I'm trying to do is get rid of the blue color and the underlining.

Roland Taylor

I'm not sure where the blue colour is coming from

it might be that your CSS is not affecting the generated code at all, and you would have to change the text colour within the generated code

in fact that is the most likely scenario

Icedrake

Removing the style section had no effect, lol.

Roland Taylor

add your own style attributes

it will work fine that way lol

Icedrake

23:16

That will have to wait for some other time lol, first I need to finish this essay. Anyways guys, thanks for the help. I'll be back after I finish this essay which should be in a few hours

Roland Taylor

cool
