| superfly | Maaz: coffee please | 07:53 |
| Maaz | superfly: There isn't a pot on | 07:53 |
| superfly | Maaz: coffee on | 07:53 |
| * Maaz starts grinding coffee | 07:53 | |
| sakhi | good thanks. | 07:53 |
| sakhi | Ethiopian coffee is still the best ;) | 07:53 |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for superfly! | 07:57 |
| Squirm | morning | 08:01 |
| superfly | hi Squirm | 08:06 |
| sakhi | morning Squirm | 08:20 |
| Squirm | so how is everyone? | 08:25 |
| sakhi | good thanks and you? | 08:28 |
| Squirm | not bad hey. just pretty tired | 08:28 |
| nuvolari_ | o/ | 09:31 |
| nuvolari_ | lo | 09:31 |
| nlsthzn | morning all :) | 09:32 |
| marcog | Symmetria: i see wacs has landed. any eta of bandwidth from it? | 09:32 |
| Symmetria | marcog they wont go live before end of the year | 09:43 |
| Symmetria | http://iris.tenet.ac.za/routers/graphs.php <=== its still got bugs handling missed samples, but wheeee for all practical purposes I can now graph by peer | 09:43 |
| marcog | that sucks :( | 09:44 |
| Symmetria | if we're REALLY lucky late november/december | 09:44 |
| Symmetria | but I doubt it | 09:44 |
| marcog | i'll be gone by then anyway | 09:45 |
| superfly | Symmetria: what effect does having Telkom manage the landing station have on the price and/or reliability? | 09:57 |
| Symmetria | heh superfly reliability will be good | 10:05 |
| Symmetria | telkom knows what they are doing | 10:05 |
| Symmetria | with them managing it? virtually nothing, the various partners all have access to it | 10:05 |
| Symmetria | telkom cant screw em | 10:05 |
| superfly | Symmetria: so who would Afrihost (for example) buy their bandwidth from if they wanted WACS bandwidth? | 10:06 |
| Symmetria | mtn, telkom, cable and wireless, infraco, and there are a coupla other players who I cant disclose | 10:07 |
| superfly | OK | 10:08 |
| Symmetria | (the reason for the latter is due to the fact that I dont know exactly what the situation is with the others Ive mentioned or what the confidentiality issues surround them are) | 10:09 |
| superfly | Symmetria: no worries... the MyBB forums are all being doomsayers, and I'd prefer to get a more accurate picture before potentially moaning ;-) | 10:10 |
| Symmetria | heh superfly lets just say that I'm... extremely positive about wacs | 10:11 |
| Symmetria | :) | 10:11 |
| superfly | cool :-) | 10:11 |
| Symmetria | my hands are just extremely tied right now about what I can and cant say | 10:11 |
| superfly | I am too, I was just wondering about the impact of having Telkom in the mix | 10:11 |
| Symmetria | heh, let me say this | 10:11 |
| Symmetria | Telkoms network is far more stable than neotels | 10:12 |
| Symmetria | :P | 10:12 |
| Symmetria | and I'd rather have telkom running the station than neotel | 10:12 |
| Symmetria | they have more experience | 10:12 |
| Symmetria | heh, you also gotta remeber that "running a station" doesnt mean a HUGE amount, once the stuff is in and functioning, it should rarely be touched :) | 10:12 |
| superfly | Symmetria: yeah, from what I've heard and what I've seen, the techies in Telkom know what they're doing | 10:12 |
| Symmetria | LOL believe me, some of the things Ive seen in various cable stations around the world would scare you :) particularly their DC wiring | 10:13 |
| Symmetria | people have no concept of correct wiring color codes | 10:13 |
| Symmetria | blue to positive, red to negative?! with the only way to tell is a multimeter or alternatively to read the tiny little tags they have strung along the wires?! | 10:14 |
| * inetpro fails to feel the excitement at this stage with WACS only lighting up in 2012 | 10:15 | |
| Symmetria | heh either late 2011 or early 2012 | 10:15 |
| Symmetria | there is a LONG road to be walked before its live though | 10:15 |
| Symmetria | hell, I'm still speccing gear for our wacs capacity, never mind taking it live | 10:16 |
| Symmetria | not to mention the costs involved | 10:16 |
| Symmetria | heh equipment to light that kinda capacity is expensive to the point of being bizarre | 10:17 |
| * Symmetria peers afrinic and ambronex | 10:46 | |
| Symmetria | heh I have no idea who exactly ambronex are, but they asked to peer so *shrug* | 10:47 |
| superfly | Symmetria: all your equipment is expensive to the point of being bizarre | 11:03 |
| superfly | :-P | 11:03 |
| queery | maaz, coffee on | 11:11 |
| * Maaz flips the salt-timer | 11:11 | |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for queery! | 11:15 |
| nlsthzn | love the way my natty install is starting to look and behave currently http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10694062&postcount=390 | 11:42 |
| superfly | nlsthzn: is that the humble indie bundle I see? :-D | 11:45 |
| nlsthzn | superfly: yup :) every now and again I remember I bought it and I install one of the games... never make it past the first few stages before I stop playing ... oh well :) | 11:46 |
| superfly | nlsthzn: there have been another 2 since then... http://humblebundle.com/ | 11:47 |
| nlsthzn | superfly: I saw... have been tempted :p | 11:48 |
| Symmetria | heh | 12:28 |
| Symmetria | wow, hellopeter ftw | 12:28 |
| Symmetria | these assholes who I owed money to werent giving me accurate figures so I could pay them (which I was quite prepared to do), and had no real information for me, so eventually I got fed up of them calling me, and put a complaint on hellopeter | 12:28 |
| Symmetria | they disliked that so much, that they wrote off the debt and closed the file | 12:29 |
| Symmetria | and it was a largeeeee sum of money | 12:29 |
| superfly | wish I could do the same with my credit card :-P | 12:45 |
| Symmetria | how the hell did malema's bodyguards get licenses for those weapons | 12:59 |
| marcog | wow, commentary on mybb is getting ridiculously negative over telkom's involvement in wacs | 14:49 |
| superfly | indeed | 14:54 |
| Symmetria | does anyone know anythinhg about a distro called pardus? | 15:39 |
| * Symmetria climbs into that myadsl debate | 15:53 | |
| Kilos | hiya all | 17:12 |
| Kilos | Maaz, coffee on | 17:12 |
| * Maaz puts the kettle on | 17:12 | |

| Kilos | voda tower dead | 17:13 |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for Kilos! | 17:16 |
| Kilos | Maaz, ty | 17:17 |
