| nlsthzn_work | nah, I wish I was an engineer... just an operator... Nah... I don't think not running Ubuntu should ever be an issue (and for those zealots who do have a problem just to bad)... | 11:16 |
| * nlsthzn_work loves his Unity | 11:16 | |
| d3s3rtdw3ll3r | another saffa project : http://www.mxit.com/ | 11:17 |
| nlsthzn_work | Long time mxit user... well until I came here... silly data prices here are silly : | 11:20 |
| nlsthzn_work | :p | 11:20 |
| d3s3rtdw3ll3r | I only discovered it today | 11:20 |
| d3s3rtdw3ll3r | yea I know, prices are extortionate, what they like back in SA? | 11:22 |
| nlsthzn_work | Well in SA it was a smart move... very cheap to communicate... since coming here it is cheaper for me just to get a DSL line and use what ever IM I want :) | 11:24 |
| d3s3rtdw3ll3r | how long you been out of SA? | 11:35 |
| nlsthzn_work | ... about 2 and a half years now... | 11:42 |

| nlsthzn_work | Improved back in SA you mean? | 11:43 |
| d3s3rtdw3ll3r | yep | 11:43 |
| nlsthzn_work | Well, in my opinion no... crime is high, employment low... | 11:44 |
| d3s3rtdw3ll3r | howd you end up here? | 11:45 |
