Tried IRC

IRC is always a fuzzy word for me! Today decided to try. There was a chat client called XChat in which I tried. Setting it up was pretty simple. Followed instructions from this link. Logged into Linuxchix, It did work right away! I wanted to know if there is any program/tool that would fill web form. My idea to fill the indianrail.gov.in pnr number and check the status of tickets and send notification emails :). Just for fun! There were few very nice people in the linuxchix forum, who suggested something called spambot,eyeball. Also one more suggestion was to use perl post! Will try to know what they are and which one will suit my requirement most!

Tried Kopete

Today I went in search of a chat client in linux for google chat. I somehow always have a feeling gmail when left open in browser uses lot of bandwidth! Ajax and it keeps refreshing! So, wanted a chat client in my ubuntu,picked up kopete. Followed instruction from gtalk site but kopete didn't work right away. It showed a error saying QCA TLS missing. After installing it using the following commnd now i am chatting using kopete, and blogging this one as well!

apt-get install qca-tls

I do like ubuntu and kopete as of now!
