[07:41] moonin [07:46] hiya sakhi [07:50] Maaz: kettle on? [07:50] sakhi: Sorry... [07:51] Maaz: koffee asb [07:51] sakhi: What? [07:51] Maaz: koffee [07:51] sakhi: Excuse me? [07:51] Maaz: who are you? [07:51] sakhi: I am your new robot overlord [07:52] superfly: how goes? [07:52] sakhi: good, and you? [07:53] Maaz: coffee please [07:53] superfly: There isn't a pot on [07:53] Maaz: coffee on [07:53] * Maaz starts grinding coffee [07:53] good thanks. [07:53] Ethiopian coffee is still the best ;) [07:57] Coffee's ready for superfly! [08:01] morning [08:06] hi Squirm [08:20] morning Squirm [08:25] so how is everyone? [08:28] good thanks and you? [08:28] not bad hey. just pretty tired [09:31] o/ [09:31] lo [09:32] morning all :) [09:32] Symmetria: i see wacs has landed. any eta of bandwidth from it? [09:43] marcog they wont go live before end of the year [09:43] 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 [09:44] that sucks :( [09:44] if we're REALLY lucky late november/december [09:44] but I doubt it [09:45] i'll be gone by then anyway [09:57] Symmetria: what effect does having Telkom manage the landing station have on the price and/or reliability? [10:05] heh superfly reliability will be good [10:05] telkom knows what they are doing [10:05] with them managing it? virtually nothing, the various partners all have access to it [10:05] telkom cant screw em [10:06] Symmetria: so who would Afrihost (for example) buy their bandwidth from if they wanted WACS bandwidth? [10:07] mtn, telkom, cable and wireless, infraco, and there are a coupla other players who I cant disclose [10:08] OK [10:09] (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) [10:10] Symmetria: no worries... the MyBB forums are all being doomsayers, and I'd prefer to get a more accurate picture before potentially moaning ;-) [10:11] heh superfly lets just say that I'm... extremely positive about wacs [10:11] :) [10:11] cool :-) [10:11] my hands are just extremely tied right now about what I can and cant say [10:11] I am too, I was just wondering about the impact of having Telkom in the mix [10:11] heh, let me say this [10:12] Telkoms network is far more stable than neotels [10:12] :P [10:12] and I'd rather have telkom running the station than neotel [10:12] they have more experience [10:12] 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] Symmetria: yeah, from what I've heard and what I've seen, the techies in Telkom know what they're doing [10:13] 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] people have no concept of correct wiring color codes [10:14] 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?! [10:15] * inetpro fails to feel the excitement at this stage with WACS only lighting up in 2012 [10:15] heh either late 2011 or early 2012 [10:15] there is a LONG road to be walked before its live though [10:16] hell, I'm still speccing gear for our wacs capacity, never mind taking it live [10:16] not to mention the costs involved [10:17] heh equipment to light that kinda capacity is expensive to the point of being bizarre [10:46] * Symmetria peers afrinic and ambronex [10:47] heh I have no idea who exactly ambronex are, but they asked to peer so *shrug* [11:03] Symmetria: all your equipment is expensive to the point of being bizarre [11:03] :-P [11:11] maaz, coffee on [11:11] * Maaz flips the salt-timer [11:15] Coffee's ready for queery! [11:42] love the way my natty install is starting to look and behave currently http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10694062&postcount=390 [11:45] nlsthzn: is that the humble indie bundle I see? :-D [11:46] 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 :) [11:47] nlsthzn: there have been another 2 since then... http://humblebundle.com/ [11:48] superfly: I saw... have been tempted :p [12:28] heh [12:28] wow, hellopeter ftw [12:28] 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 [12:29] they disliked that so much, that they wrote off the debt and closed the file [12:29] and it was a largeeeee sum of money [12:45] wish I could do the same with my credit card :-P [12:59] how the hell did malema's bodyguards get licenses for those weapons [14:49] wow, commentary on mybb is getting ridiculously negative over telkom's involvement in wacs [14:54] indeed [15:39] does anyone know anythinhg about a distro called pardus? [15:53] * Symmetria climbs into that myadsl debate [17:12] hiya all [17:12] Maaz, coffee on [17:12] * Maaz puts the kettle on [17:13] hehe [17:13] only xchat working here. [17:13] voda tower dead [17:16] Coffee's ready for Kilos! [17:17] Maaz, ty [17:17] You're Welcome I'm sure [18:16] Symmetria: heard of it, that's about all [23:00] Symmetria: debian.mirror.ac.za is two days out of date [23:01] froztbyte: ^
