07:30:16 FrankW: At the risk of abusing this channel for a non-OSGeo purpose, can anyone suggest a way of avoiding the "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page" thingy for flash in Firefox?
07:32:34 tbonfort: huh, install flash ? : )
07:33:11 FrankW: tbonfort: ok, excepting that.
07:33:30 FrankW: I am frequently frustrated by poorly handled flash thingies bringing my machine to a crawl.
07:33:36 FrankW: so I'm trying to live "flash free".
07:33:45 tbonfort: wouldn't adblock do that ?
07:33:50 FrankW: And not even just for ideological reasons ( I'm really not very ideological ).
07:34:06 tbonfort: give it a regex to match .swf
07:34:12 FrankW: Not as far as I know. As far as I know firefox always puts this little banner up when there is unhandled media.
07:34:20 FrankW: Or perhaps it would work...
07:34:40 FrankW: so where do I find this "ad block" thing/
07:34:41 FrankW: ?
07:35:24 tbonfort: hmm, it's the first extension I install
07:35:33 tbonfort: makes the internet a nice place : )
07:35:53 tbonfort: http://adblockplus.org/en/
07:35:55 sigq: Title: Adblock Plus: Save your time and traffic ( at adblockplus.org )
07:44:27 FrankW: tbonfort: cool, that seems to be doing the trick!
11:49:11 dpatton: TylerM: Hi. Do you have a quick breakdown of the "OSGeo booth & internet cafe" expenses for FOSS4G2007 that you could send to the 2009 mailing list?
11:49:37 TylerM: hi dpatton - only what would be in the final S2S report
11:49:45 TylerM: the event itself took care of the billing, etc
11:53:34 dpatton: TylerM: I don't think there was a separate category for the OSGeo booth in the budget, but didn't OSGeo pay separately for the PCs used for the "internet cafe"?
11:59:36 TylerM: possibly.. i can try to dig it up
11:59:59 TylerM: well, it may have been a separate order, but i'm 90% sure I never got a bill
12:02:01 dpatton: TylerM: not a big deal - I was just looking at the budget for 2009, and when I saw the Internet Cafe lineitem, it made me think about what we did in 2007
12:04:49 TylerM: actually i think we just added on a few extra PCs from the workshop order, iirc
