Meebo Bar

Meebo is a Ajax-based in-browser instant messaging program which supports multiple IM services, including Yahoo! Messenger, .NET Messenger Service, AIM, ICQ, MySpaceIM, Facebook Chat and XMPP. I have been using Meebo for longest time now. I usually use Meebo Me widget to add chat functionality to some of my site as a CSR chat service.


Now Meebo just release a new product called Meebo Bar. The Meebo bar appears at the bottom of your site and it allows your visitor to sign-in to Meebo and chat with their friends, share pictures and videos and a lot more.

the Meebo Bar allows your site visitors to sign in to Meebo to chat and drag-and-drop to share photos and videos. Now you can also add a slew of new buttons to the Meebo Bar on your site. We've put together a bunch of buttons that we think partners and bloggers might want to make available: a Facebook Fan Page, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Lala, Meebo Me, Stumble Upon, Digg, RSS and more! - szeto

Meebo Bar supports TypePad, Blogger, Wordpress, Movable Type. or any self-hosted site.

Ubuntu 9.10 + Nvidia Driver = Black Screen of Death

I got this howto from brainyautomation.com last year. This is what i used whenever i reinstall Ubuntu on my Dell laptop. This still works even for Ubuntu 9.10 (for my laptop that is).

reboot and select the "recovery mode" kernel and then do this or if your like me i removed my boot screen so a recovery mode is out of the question. What you do is start ubuntu up to the blank screen. press ctrl + shift F4 or any F keys except F7. you will be prompted to enter your login and password and once logged in do the steps below:

nano -w /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc


# add this to the end of the file options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=0

save file and then reboot and your done. hope this helps

Remind Myself Edition: Remember Authentication Mounted Drive in Ubuntu 9.10

It seems authentication for mounted drive isn't the same as before. Old version let you save the authentication for a mounted  drive. In Karmic there is none, dunno why they removed it. Anyhoot  luckily somebody posted a howto on the said topic.

Open terminal and type the following:

sudo gedit /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.policy

Look for the action id:

org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-mount-system-internal

Within that action id look for the line:

<allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active>


and replace it with:

<allow_active>yes</allow_active>

save file and your done.
