inetproMaaz: what's for lunch?10:00
Maazinetpro: they say Debonairs Pizza is the leading pizza restaurant in Africa. http://www.debonairs.co.za/10:01
inetprohm...10:01
inetproI wonder10:01
bakumanlol lies10:15
bakumani dont like debonairs, stElmos tastes better. And if you are not only looking as TakeAway stellenbosch has al least 5 different rastaurants that are better10:16
bakuman(pizza restaurants)10:17
inetprobakuman: what about Pretoria?10:17
bakumannee daar moet jy maar lewe van melk en heuning en brood10:17
inetpro:-)10:18
superflybakuman: I agree, I prefer St Elmo's... but Scooters' deep pan pizza is also very yummy11:15
charlvn+1 debonairs is really teh suck11:27
inetproMaaz: for lunch is also <reply> $who: I prefer St Elmo's... but Scooters' deep pan pizza is also very yummy11:29
Maazinetpro: I'll remember that11:29
inetproMaaz: google St Elmo 11:31

inetprohmm...11:32
inetproseems there's a business opportunity for someone11:33
inetprono St Elmo's in Pretoria11:33
* inetpro likes the Student Bargains site11:34
charlvnif you need to know where to find good junk food, ask the students11:51
charlvnthey are the authorities on the subject11:51
charlvnnot that good pizza is actually even junk food11:51
charlvnbut the crap they sell in the shops probably do qualify as such11:51
inetproMaaz: for lunch is also <reply> $who: Click on the day to view the bargains for the day http://www.tukkieslife.co.za/Bargains.aspx11:54
Maazinetpro: Got it11:54
charlvnhave you guys tried making pizza at home?11:57
superflycharlvn: the wife does it often11:59
charlvnsuperfly: i don't want to eat pizza in the shop anymore12:01
charlvnit's too easy and too much better to make it yourself12:01
inetprocharlvn: heh12:02
charlvnthe only "hard" part is making the dough12:03
inetprohome made is always best12:03
charlvnso what i normally do is i buy the pre-made pizza bases in the shop and then just do the topping myself12:03
charlvnas long as you use good quality pizza bases it works perfect12:03
inetprothat's what we also do most of the time12:04
charlvnfor half the price you get twice the quality of pizza as the end result12:04
superflycharlvn: the mrs makes the dough in the bread machine12:04
charlvnsuperfly: my mom also has one of those bread machines, they are very handy but it's too much trouble for me still12:05
charlvnthe only pizzas i really like are the original italian style pizzas with lots of fresh herbs12:08
charlvnnot the american pizzas with "pepperoni" on them (which actually means peppers in italian, not even a meat sausage)12:09
charlvnif i ask for pepperoni on my pizza i expect peppers not sausage yuck12:10
Owkkuriinetpro: http://www.bizpages.co.za/cat/st-elmos-woodfired-pizza/willow-way-shopping-centre-location :P I thought the name sounded familiar12:47
inetproOwkkuri: hmm.... way to far from where I am12:49
inetprobut I shall have to remember that when visiting afriend in the area12:49
inetprothanks12:49
Owkkuriit's on my way home 12:49
Owkkuri:P12:49
* inetpro has never had a pizza from st elmos12:50
* Owkkuri neither12:50

nuvolariMaaz: topic feedback on cd's18:33
MaazCurrent Topic: feedback on cd's18:33
maiatodaythe cds are trapped in customs18:33
Kiloseish18:34
nuvolari:O18:34
maiatodayI spoke to TNT a few days back18:34
octoquady?18:34
nuvolariwe're not smoking anything!18:34
octoquadlol18:34
nuvolariI hope18:34
queery1985did he order the CD's cause that might be why they are stuck *TNT*18:34
Kerberotnt post. stomme nederlanders.18:34
maiatodayapparently canonical put (in their eyes) a small invoice on it but the euro exchange rate18:34
Kiloshaha18:34
nuvolarilol18:34
* tumbleweed waves18:34
Kiloshi tumbleweed 18:35
queery1985euro is 10.8 today18:35
nuvolarihi tumbleweed :) welcome18:35
maiatodaythe invoice is 319 rand and if it is over 300 rand it is an expensive parcel and needs to be taxed18:35
queery1985its been climbing18:35
maiatodayso I am happy to pay the tax but I don't know how to make it go forward18:35
nuvolariblegh :-/18:35
nuvolarihow many CD's?18:35
maiatodayI will phone them tomorrow18:35
mazalI don't understand the cd's thing18:35
maiatodaythe parcel is 9kgs18:35
octoquadmaiatoday: don't they send it back if you don't collect it within x days?18:35
mazalWhy are we buying cd's ?18:35
nuvolariwow, that's quite a bit then18:36
maiatodaywe aren't buying cds, mazal 18:36
Banlamwe're not18:36
magespawnWow thats a few18:36
maiatodaywe are an official loco so we get it free18:36
octoquadif peeps want CD's in the durban area, they can ask me18:36
Banlambut customs kick up more of a fuss if there's no "value" displayed on items18:36
mazalhmm18:36
maiatodayyeah but these are branded cds which official locos get18:36
Banlamthe fact is we're importing something which is worth something18:36
Banlamnevermind that we didn't pay for it18:36
nuvolaricustoms act like windows users: it can't be free...18:37
Banlamhahaha18:37
Kiloshehe18:37
octoquadlol nuvolari 18:37
queery1985hahaha18:37
maiatodayanyway, it's no use arguing, I just want to get them before quetzal is release18:37
octoquadcan't we say it's for a non-profit?18:37
maiatodaywhen I get them I'll divide them up and mail them to the centres again18:37
mazalOne of those many "rules" I don't get18:38
maiatodayoctoquad: I did explain that we don't sell them etc etc18:38
octoquadhow many do you get?18:38
maiatodayI don't know the exact amount octoquad but as I said the parcel is 9kgs18:38
octoquadmaiatoday: ah, then what's there problem lol18:38
octoquadsorry their problem18:38
nuvolariI'm not going to take again, as I can't get them distributed here again :-/18:38
Kilosred tape18:38
maiatodayok18:38
octoquadnuvolari: are you from durbs?18:39
nuvolarioctoquad: ye, ballito18:39
maiatodayI'll send a list on the mailing list and ask who wants me to send them18:39
octoquadcool18:39
maiatodayI had a list of people, but I don't know if they still want cds18:39
maiatodaymaaz agreed maiatoday will find out on the mailing list who wants cds once they get here18:39
MaazAgreed: maiatoday will find out on the mailing list who wants cds once they get here18:39
nuvolariI know William is quite active in distributing ubuntu18:40
nuvolariand repo's18:40
maiatodayI am happy to make up a few parcels but I would prefer to send one parcel to a central point in each area18:40
queery1985since im traveling all over JHB freestate and pretoria I can also help distribute18:40
maiatodaythat's the end of my story about the cds18:40
Kilosthanksfor all the effort maiatoday 18:40
nuvolariok. any other last-minute topic?18:40
Kerberoi want cd's and i'm not on the mailinglist18:41
nuvolariyeah, thanks for your help maiatoday :)18:41
maiatodayI always give you cds Kerbero :)18:41
SquirmI also don't mind distributing any linux distro, will have to be posted though.18:41
Kerbero:)18:41
queery1985you can we set a time limit on sending emails to the list?18:41
mazalI have a qeustion18:41
mazalI think I have asked it before but can't remember the answer , think there was an issue18:42
maiatodayno problem Squirm, last time I sent a parcel to people, contact me on the mailing list and let me in know what area you can distribute18:42
maiatodayqueery1985: what do you suggest?18:42
Squirmmaiatoday: eh, not part of the mailing list :P but I'm here most of the time18:42
queery198511pm18:42
queery1985hehe18:42
Squirmmaiatoday: Mooi River18:42
Squirmkind of nowhere, but I'm there18:43
nuvolarino further topics?18:43
mazalMany people have slow or no internet and Ubuntu needs quite a few additional software and codecs to make it really good. Are we allowed to distribute iso's of Ubuntu that already have the multimedia additions and extra software installed ?18:43
mazalyeah , that one18:43
nuvolariyeah, I think we're allowed to do that in ZA, not?18:44
maiatodaySquirm, email me your info if you want me to send cds, I need a postal address and a name18:44
tumbleweedwe don't recognise software patents in ZA18:44
tumbleweed(although people do file them)18:45
mazalCos with 12.04 I came close to 1gig of additional stuff installled , and many people don't have the means to do that18:45
nuvolariI don't know about any of you guys, but basically doing an upgrade for me was useless using the CD/ISO as it still downloaded > 300MB18:45
octoquadWe should just make an apt-on-cd with updates and codecs and distribute with the original cd18:45
Kilosmazal, you can distribute remastersys dvd's as well with everything18:45
octoquador Kilos idea18:45
Kerberoi still think canonical should start to send us blank branded cd's18:45
SquirmI have a 4mb uncapped, unshaped line. so I don't mind distributing dvds either18:45
Kerberothen we can write them before distribution18:45
maiatodayKerbero: I agree completely18:45
nuvolariKerbero: awesome idea!18:46
mazalKilos, that was what I was thinking18:46
maiatodaybut I am not sure if they will18:46
queery1985I have a Web africa account so free repo18:46
magespawnCan we get the art work and brand them ourselves?18:46
octoquadKerbero: Canonical might see it as a security issue or perhaps loading linux mint on a Ubuntu CD18:46
Kerberoyeah18:47
maiatodaymagespawn: Kerbero got quotes, we can brand ourselves but it is super expensive18:47
Kerberojip18:47
Squirmso we have to pay to give away cd's18:47
Squirminteresting18:47
Squirm:/18:47
BanlamKerbero, are you going to sit and write 100 CDs with your PC?18:47
Kerberolol18:47
magespawnIcan you cover your costs?18:47
nuvolarimaybe we should start a pledge list?18:48
Kerberobuy maia a coffee18:48
Kerberoat the ubuntu hour18:48
SquirmI've always wanted to set up a toaster, I'm just not in the right area18:48
maiatodaythe thing i most people who already use ubuntu are happy with an iso which they put on a disk themselves18:48
octoquadI really think we should just distribute on the fly. Create 5 CD's carry them around with you or stash some in your car and laptop bag and if you meet peeps who are interested, give them a copy.18:49
maiatodaybut people who have never used it like a branded cd18:49
KilosSquirm, maybe at the varsity in pmb18:49
SquirmKilos: that's still 40min away, besides I don't go there often18:49
Squirmto pmb that is18:49
Kilosah18:49
Kilosbut theres nothing in mooiriver except cold18:50
Kilosand some farmers18:50
