How to configure Gtalk in Kopete

Almost everyone I know uses Gtalk. You can use Gtalk online through gmail or by using one of the many jabber capable chat clients out there.  Today I’ll show you how to configure Kopete to work with Gtalk. If you didn’t already know, Kopete is the most popular multi protocol chant client for KDE.

1. Launch Kopete and goto “Settings” > “Configure…”

2. Goto “accounts”

3. Click on “New”

4. Select “Jabber” from the account wizard and click “next”

5. On the “basic setup” page,

•  ”Jabber ID” is your gmail user ID followed by “gmail.com”. Example “john@gmail.com”
•  Check “remember password” and fill in your password.

6. On the “connection page”

• Check “use protocol encryption” (SSL)
• Check “allow plain text password authentication”
• Check “overide default server settings” and replace with the values below.
• Server : “talk.google.com”
• Port : “5223″

7. Click “Ok” and enjoy Gtalk through Kopete.

ZYB free online mobile backup

ZYB is currently the only web service providing a one stop mobile data backup solution through zyb.com. The service was started back in 2005 by 3 friends (About ZYB) and is 100% free.

ZYB enables you to backup and share your mobile data (contacts, sms, and calendar) online easily without the need for bluetooth or any other software. You will then be able to share your mobile data (contacts, sms, and calendar) with other ZYB users.

Currently ZYB supports over 200 400 mobile phone models and the list is keeps growing. Currently my Samsung X700 is not fully supported so I can’t utilize the service.

Ok, so now you have your mobile data online and you can share them with others, what next?

ZYB decided to go further and ZYB eventually evolved into a social networking tool. The data on your mobile phone is part of your life and what better way to keep it up to date then by bringing everyone on you mobile together in one place sharing and updating data between each other. ZYB | Life

Currently ZYB will enables you to,

1. Backup your mobile contacts.
2. Backup your mobile calendar items.
3. Share your contacts and calendar items with friends and family members.
4. Import public calendars to you mobile.
5. Easily manage your contact list.
6. Synchronize your mobile data with other devices . (iPod, Outlook, etc….)
7. Invite others.
8. Post shouts. (something like twitter)
9. Upload photos from your mobile and tag them.
10. More to come …..

This is a brilliant idea and I am surprised that no one had used it before till now. Please test the service if you are interested. I would love to hear your comments on this great tool.

Happy 50th birthday Malaysia

Happy 50th birthday Malaysia. I’m late to wish you but better late then never right.

You have been good to me but even though everything is not perfect I won’t complain now. We have so much more then what many others out there have. It’s time for us us to wake up and start doing the smaller things in live that matter the most. Help those in need, give them education, give them hope, give them a future as if they were your own family.

Never looking at the colour of your skin, your language, your religion, your race or what your do for a leaving. That’s a true Malaysian.

Happy 50th Birthday Malaysia!!

Merdeka!! Merdeka!! Merdeka!!
