Just deleted all my contacts from my google account. Have no need for them in there as they are all in my #owncloud. !degooglify

I use a couple of paid apps on android to sync contacts and calendar: http://url.jpope.org/jt & http://url.jpope.org/js

Also, in KDE you can mount webdav easily with Dolphin and get contacts and calendar with Kontact quite easily as well.

@lnxwalt I suppose they could change their terms but, I’d think it effect other embedded custom searches if it’s going to effect seeks. The basic side of a seeks search is just hitting the search engine endpoints. See this config file for example: http://url.jpope.org/w2

I ended up using an alias in my .bashrc:

Yes, that works well too. I used it before the export. =D

Run #haste in background, without using screen :
nohup npm start &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1&amp;!degoogle-
Embed this notice
Nice. I suppose this could could go to a log file instead of /dev/null as well, eh?

Right on. I’ve been lazy with writing an init script with my hastebin and still using a tab in screen.

Not having a #google account is like not being part of the internet these days. Glad there are many ways around it.

Embed this notice
It is pretty interesting when you consider how much of the Internet Google has bought up…
-
Embed this notice
I don’t consider Google an /evil/ company, it is rather better than most huge companies. I just don’t fancy being one of their costumers.
-
Embed this notice
I agree – and honestly, a lot of their more recent moves (converting stock to non-voting) makes me less worried about them as a whole.

Awesome. Prosody seems to be working well. Move some contacts and maybe I can stop using gtalk… !degoogle

@vk7hse I installed it awhile back but hadn’t messed with it much until today. Seems to work great.

When I found out that I could connect with GTalk users via jabber.org, I went that route.

I don’t IM too much aside for with one of my brothers. Now that I’ve got my own going, I’ll probably use it quite a bit more. :)

Is there another online translator that works decently well aside from googles? !degoogle

Babelfish works decently for strict dictionary translation, but it doesn’t pick up nearly so well on colloquialisms/nuances of grammar.

Right on, I forgot about that one.

That’s the trouble with !degoogle’ing – there are a not insignificant number of areas where their product is simply leagues better. :(

@jpope I’m hopeful about owncloud 3, & if the cal has repeating events, may try using rasberrypi as dedicated calendar server.
