[05:10] <nuvolari> goeie môre Suid-Afrika
[05:10]  * nuvolari sing...
[05:10] <nuvolari> :P
[05:10] <nuvolari> g'morning
[05:19] <superfly> morning nuvolari
[08:00] <corrie206> morning all
[08:13] <nlsthzn> Alo :)
[08:42] <nlsthzn> Favour to ask of the more persistant lurkers... started a channel #emirates-loco for some of the guys in the UAE... would love some more people lurking just as a bit of a welcoming party if someone decides to pop in and I am off (which happens a lot)... if some of you don't mind spreading the Ubuntu(ness)
[08:43] <Vhata> why "#emirates-loco" ?
[08:51] <confluency> #ubuntu-uae?
[08:51] <Vhata> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamHowto#Team%20Naming%20Standards
[08:51] <Vhata> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamRegions
[08:52] <drubin> nlsthzn: ^ Vhata is right :)
[08:53] <drubin> also join #ubuntu-locoteams  and speak to them they will have more advice then many of us :)
[08:53] <nlsthzn> Vhata: This is a temp name as they are not sure they want to go "official" right now...
[08:54] <nlsthzn> I am slowly convincing them though ;)
[08:54] <Vhata> there is no such thing as a temporary name
[08:55] <confluency> Hey, there's a Free State channel.
[08:55] <confluency> In theory.
[08:55] <nlsthzn> Vhata: Hmmm
[08:57] <Vhata> nlsthzn: whatever you name it now will be the name that sticks, no matter how good your intentions to rename in the future are
[08:57] <drubin> nlsthzn: It is true names often don't change.
[08:57] <Vhata> that's why there are a whole bunch of projects called myproj-new-old-ng-2
[08:57] <drubin> nlsthzn: You can have the name with out being "official" just yet
[08:58] <nlsthzn> Vhata, drubin: k, I understand...
[08:58] <Vhata> and, yes, you don't need to be "official" (which also doesn't really mean anything) in order to be #ubuntu-uae
[08:59] <drubin> Vhata: Technically you need to be ##ubuntu-uae IF you aren't official according to freenode channel naming conventions but I don't think this is an issue if you intent going for official thing later on,
[08:59] <drubin> nlsthzn: Thanks again for taking on. Getting the ball rolling is the hardest part as I am sure Vhata will tell you ;-p
[08:59] <confluency> Apparently ae is the TLD for UAE.  There seems to be a mailing list, but it's a bit dead: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-ae/2007-May/000000.html
[09:00] <confluency> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-ae/
[09:00] <confluency> You could poke it and see if anyone is still listening.
[09:00] <nlsthzn> confluency: thanks for the heads up :)
[09:02] <confluency> It's run by this dude: http://www.lambaweb.com
[09:03] <nlsthzn> Made on a Mac (ewww) ;)

[09:07] <nlsthzn> :p
[09:07] <confluency> I think he moved from UAE to India.
[09:08] <nlsthzn> Vhata: You running a Mac?
[09:08] <nlsthzn> confluency: Sent a mail to the list... will see who responds :)
[09:08] <Vhata> nlsthzn: yup
[09:09] <nlsthzn> Vhata: How you rate it compared to Windows and Linux?
[09:09] <Vhata> I like it
[09:18] <drubin> hehe
[09:18] <drubin> if he didn't like it he would not be running it.
[09:19] <nlsthzn> Vhata: Tried it once hackentosh, but with limited hardware support and no additional software I couldn't really decide anything about it
[09:19] <nlsthzn> drubin: I hear you (then again many people use Windows and not because they want too) :p
[09:20] <Vhata> nlsthzn: so you used linux on unsupported hardware.  that doesn't sound like fun.
[09:21] <nlsthzn> Vhata: I wouldn't call Mac Linux ;)
[09:24] <Vhata> isn't hackintosh linux-on-mac?
[09:24] <Vhata> "mac" is hardware.  "linux" is software.
[09:24] <confluency> No, hackintosh is mac-on-generic-hardware.
[09:25] <Vhata> you mean OS X
[09:25] <confluency> Yes.
[09:25] <Vhata> so nlsthzn used OS X on unsupported hardware, which sounds like even less fun
[09:25] <confluency> Hackintoshes are my Dad's hobby.  He enjoys sticking it to The Man. ;)
[09:27] <nlsthzn> Vhata: Wasn't to bad truth be told, once I disabled my second core I could get it installed and everything worked except wireless... 
[09:28] <Vhata> my macbook is beautiful hardware, running software which Just Works for everything.  I doubt I would run OS X on other hardware
[09:30] <nlsthzn> part of the beauty of OSX, software and hardware matched perfectly
[09:53]  * superfly used OS X on a Mac for a year and didn't gel with it, so he's back on Kubuntu - the beauty of choice
[09:55]  * nlsthzn thinks superfly has a good point
[16:11] <Kilos> evening all of ya

[16:38] <corrie206> Kilos: I have the repos here at work, we can maybe organize something, almost 70G, you'll have your "first" updates there, and you can install new programs from there.
[16:39] <Kilos> oh corrie206 are you sure about that?
[16:40] <corrie206> Kilos: yes
[16:40] <corrie206> Kilos: or how do you define "first updates" ?
[16:40] <Kilos> wow so you dont first install and then update and then get stuff from the repos
[16:41] <Kilos> i mean the updates after installing
[16:41] <corrie206> Kilos: its a mirror of the updates on mirror.ac.za , yes
