| maskie | morning froud | 08:37 |
| maskie | from rainy cape town | 08:37 |
| froud | morning maskie | 08:39 |
| froud | Sun and a bit of wind up hear . Goo dto hear you guys have some rain. You need it | 08:39 |
| maskie | was not much but we will take every little bit | 09:07 |
| maskie | froud, btw how was your trip to cape town | 09:09 |
| froud | Most excellent, we spoke about this last Sunday | 09:10 |
| froud | Should have a few more trips planned | 09:10 |
| froud | now that I have more customers in CT | 09:10 |
| maskie | you must just be carefull ... you might just like this place and move here | 09:11 |
| froud | the risk is high | 09:11 |
| froud | actually if I get enough customers I will do it | 09:11 |
| maskie | change always has risks | 09:11 |
| froud | Just rent my home in JHB and move | 09:11 |
| froud | no worries | 09:11 |
| froud | Kinda like Hout Bay | 09:12 |
| froud | secluded but not to far from central | 09:12 |
| maskie | it is a nice area .. did you know they have their own "passport" | 09:12 |
| froud | yes and I understand people actually used it to enter some countries | 09:13 |
| froud | eventhought it is not a recognized one | 09:13 |
| froud | :-) | 09:13 |
| froud | I want a hout bay passport too, whaaaaa | 09:13 |
| maskie | so buy some property there and you can have one | 09:14 |
| froud | The view from Chapmans Peak over that region is magnifico | 09:14 |
| maskie | it is but be carefull of chapmanspeak ... rocks might just faal on you | 09:15 |
| maskie | s/faal/fall | 09:15 |
| froud | yes they have those rock barriers | 09:15 |
| froud | scary stuff | 09:15 |
| froud | Longbeach also looks lekker | 09:16 |
| maskie | which sometime break when we have rain ... but since we do not have rain it is not a problem | 09:17 |
| froud | hey thanks for the late warning there was rain the day before we went through | 09:18 |
| froud | see I did bring some rain with me | 09:18 |
| froud | you asked I delivered | 09:18 |
| maskie | the light rain we get these days in no problem | 09:19 |
| froud | He he it was not light rain the day before | 09:20 |
| froud | I could not see where I was driving | 09:20 |
| froud | and of course we decided to go up Table Mountain that morning | 09:20 |
| froud | as we got to the top the clouds closed in | 09:21 |
| maskie | what did you think of stellenbosch | 09:21 |
| froud | Actually did not get there | 09:21 |
| maskie | ok | 09:21 |
| froud | I got confused | 09:21 |
| froud | I thought TSF was there, but they are in Durbanville | 09:21 |
| froud | so saw Durbanville instead | 09:21 |
| froud | nice wine land | 09:22 |
| maskie | i stay just next to durbanville ... both my kids are in durbanvile at school ... know exactly where tsf is ... who did you meet there - thomas | 09:25 |
| froud | Yes. Met with Thomas on some work | 09:26 |
| maskie | nice offices they have .... | 09:27 |
| froud | Interesting thing about CT is that you guys still have lots of small shops on the high street | 09:27 |
| froud | yes very posh | 09:27 |
| froud | here in JHB those small shops are disappearing | 09:27 |
| froud | we have malls, malls and malls | 09:27 |
| froud | but when you get back to JHB from CT, you realize just how big JHB is | 09:28 |
| froud | dam it takes 1 hour from the airport to my home in Northcliff | 09:28 |
| maskie | and that is outside peak time | 09:32 |
| froud | yes | 09:32 |
| froud | and at 120 per hour | 09:32 |
| maskie | our traffic now gets very bad from durbanville area into town | 09:32 |
| froud | yes traffic is not good in CT | 09:33 |
| froud | I got stuff comming out of central is peak traffic | 09:33 |
| froud | needless to say my left leg got a good workout | 09:33 |
| maskie | problem is we have limited entry points into town | 09:34 |
| froud | yes | 09:34 |
| froud | btw spent the last day in Kirstenbosh Gardens | 09:35 |
| froud | oh boy | 09:35 |
| froud | my legs were hurting for two days | 09:35 |
| froud | man that place is bug | 09:35 |
| froud | big | 09:35 |
| froud | we thought it would be a nice restful way to end the stay | 09:36 |
| froud | boy were we miss guided | 09:36 |
| froud | Just the day before we did Cape Point | 09:36 |
| froud | of course we walked up | 09:36 |
| froud | and down | 09:36 |
| froud | nice view, but boy did I hurt | 09:37 |
| froud | made me realize how unfit I am | 09:37 |
| froud | spending too much time between the keyboard and the seat | 09:37 |
| maskie | then next time you here you must go up table mountain but not by cable car but climb | 09:39 |
| froud | He he, you kidding me right. I wantch people younger than me trying it and it looked very painful. | 09:41 |
| froud | Down maybe, up, uh uh | 09:42 |
| froud | you will have to carry me up. On your back | 09:42 |
| froud | Geeks dont do so well with all that macho physical stuff | 09:42 |
| maskie | it is easier up than down .. and depending on what route you take it is not tha bad ... the one from kirstenbosch is not that bad | 09:43 |
| froud | says maskie who is probably a fitness fanatic | 09:43 |
| maskie | i think the next ubuntu conf must be in cape town .. that is the one after sydney | 09:44 |
| maskie | not really froud | 09:44 |
| froud | oh most definately | 09:44 |
| froud | Canonical are you listening. WE WANT THE NEXT MEETINGIN CAPE TOWN | 09:44 |
| froud | Aussie is too far away | 09:45 |
| froud | Besides we need the tourism more than they do | 09:45 |
| maskie | i think we need to wisper something in sabdfl's ear ... some suttle e-mails from time to time | 09:46 |
| froud | Mmmmm. Yes, let me see who else can we brainwash | 09:47 |
| froud | perhaps we can also bribe them with free wine | 09:47 |
| froud | maskie: when are they gonna fix all those shacks in the route out of the airport | 09:48 |
| froud | those poor people | 09:48 |
| froud | does the major not have a conceince | 09:49 |
| froud | oh btw I got some great penguin shots | 09:49 |

| froud | at Boulders | 09:49 |
| froud | you can watch those penguins forever | 09:50 |
| froud | small but funny creatures | 09:50 |
| abelli | ciao a tutti | 09:50 |
| maskie | that is a real problem but it goes back lot of years ... the major tries but it is a question of money | 09:51 |
| froud | sawubona abelli | 09:51 |
| froud | gunjani wena | 09:51 |
| froud | maskie: well they must do something. It looks bad | 09:51 |
| maskie | goeie more abelli | 09:51 |
| froud | maskie: I was giving abelli zulu lessons yesterday :-) | 09:52 |
| maskie | agree ... it everywhere like that just ours is near the airport | 09:52 |
| froud | perhaps you can give him Afrikaans lessons | 09:52 |
| maskie | in exchange for some italian | 09:52 |
| froud | actually here in Gauteng it is improved | 09:52 |
| froud | much | 09:52 |
| froud | the problem is in Alexandra Township | 09:53 |
| maskie | but you guys have more money than us ... :) | 09:53 |
| froud | but they are making amazing progress | 09:53 |
| froud | true | 09:53 |
| abelli | no..it's too much | 09:53 |
| froud | abelli: what | 09:53 |
| abelli | < froud> sawubona abelli | 09:54 |
| abelli | 09:52 < froud> gunjani wena | 09:54 |
| froud | oh ok | 09:54 |
| abelli | :) | 09:54 |
| abelli | i need time | 09:54 |
| abelli | ;) | 09:54 |
| froud | wait I have notstarted to teach you the click sounds yet :-0 | 09:54 |
| maskie | froud looks like you have to start again | 09:54 |
| maskie | luckily afrikaans has no click sounds | 09:55 |
| froud | just the cccccccch | 09:55 |
| froud | or is it ggggggggh | 09:55 |
| abelli | i've seen a documentary on the telly, | 09:55 |
| maskie | more the ggggggh | 09:55 |
| froud | like ggggggghaan | 09:56 |
| abelli | that explained how some children in a village in Africa | 09:56 |
| abelli | learnt how to use a computer without keyboard.. | 09:56 |
| abelli | they were able to write emails... | 09:56 |
| froud | he he cool | 09:56 |
| abelli | withouth having ever seen a computer before... smart people | 09:56 |
| maskie | abelli, what did they use ... touch screens | 09:56 |
| froud | how do they write | 09:56 |
| abelli | a trackball | 09:56 |
| abelli | i think copy n paste | 09:57 |
| froud | whew that must be slow | 09:57 |
| froud | but then it's African time | 09:57 |
| froud | abelli: did you know we dont use watches here in Africa, only tel time by the sun | 09:58 |
| froud | ;-) | 09:58 |
| abelli | my mum doesnt even know how to do it with the keyboard | 09:58 |
| froud | it's really amazing | 09:58 |
| froud | we take using a computer for granted | 09:58 |
| froud | I dont think we really understand the barrier to learning a how to use a computer yet | 09:59 |
| froud | We try make it easy, but that barrier still remains | 09:59 |
| abelli | mmm how can you follow the sun withouth knowing what month is? | 10:00 |
| froud | I think that speach recognition technologies need to improve more so anyone can do it | 10:00 |
| froud | who care what month it is | 10:00 |
| froud | we care about seasons | 10:00 |
| froud | of course if you are in Natal (Durban) there are only two seasons | 10:00 |
| froud | summer and winter | 10:00 |
| === froud wonders how a computer will interpret a click sound | ||
| abelli | maybe with a click? | 10:01 |
| froud | there are many click sounds | 10:02 |
| froud | each slightly different | 10:02 |
| froud | some high pitched and some low pitched | 10:02 |
| froud | and a spectrum between them | 10:02 |
| froud | maskie: now there is something worth programming | 10:03 |
| abelli | froud: they will be interpreted in different ways.. | 10:05 |
| froud | yes | 10:05 |
| abelli | obviously you may need a little time of learning | 10:05 |
| abelli | because every user has different ways... | 10:05 |
| abelli | of doing it. | 10:05 |
| froud | maskie: do you feel like reviewing the Ubuntu Update Manager User manual for me | 10:06 |
| froud | It's nearly finished | 10:06 |
| maskie | froud, it will have to wait for about a week ... i am f | 10:07 |
| maskie | gpne for most of the week | 10:07 |
| sivang | froud: have you managed to rearrange the docs in a proper catagory in yelp? | 10:07 |

| maskie | one of my kids have some project on it and dad have to help | 10:09 |
| sivang | froud: eh, well the changes in yelp are pretty trivial as I have shown to enrico, the hard part is making it a scrollkeeper catagory | 10:09 |
| sivang | maskie: ah I spooked, since it's a very deadly deaseas | 10:10 |
| maskie | yeah i know .... | 10:10 |
