Kilosalways good, even when im naughty im good at it05:00
inetprogood mornings05:04
Kilosmorning inetpro 05:05
Kilossjoe youre early05:05
inetproKilos: I'm always early05:05
Kiloshehe05:05
inetproexcept when I'm late05:05
Kiloshere is one for you clever guys. i have a network cable but ian said it must go through a router or something because both plugs are connected the same05:10
Kilosi want to know if switcheng the tx and rx pairs will give same performance or does a router boost the signal05:11
Kilosi only have the one cable and want to try connecting 2 pcs05:14
Squirmmorning05:16
Squirmmeh, slept in today05:16
Kiloshi Squirm 05:17
Digi||GramKilos most new ethernet cards can handle a straight cable I hear. Tradisionally you need a cross over so that the Tx sends from one pc to the Rx on another05:42
Digi||Grama router, switch or hub does this switching for you, so traditionally you need a straight cable for that, but new one's know how to switch straight or cross over cables05:43
=== Digi||Gram is now known as DigiGram
Kilosty Digi||Gram so theres nothing special the router does. apart from switching connections05:43
Kilosnew ones what?05:44
DigiGramwell that and it boosts the signal. You are working with a signal around 5V, so after 100m it drops to low to be usable, on cheap cables and hardware it happens after about 30m, then you need a hub/switch/router to boost the power again05:45
Kilosi got old pcs so should i cut the cable and switch those 2 pairs05:45
Kilosdont wanna blow anything05:45
DigiGramwell try it first05:45
Kilosoh it wont damage anything if not swopped05:45
DigiGramyou won't blow anything, plug it in, if the green LED lights up at both PC's where you plugged the cable in, then you are in business05:45
DigiGramnah, Tx sends, Rx receives. If you send to a send port it will be fine, he is used to the voltage, but can't read anything05:46
Kilosah ty lemme check it out05:47
Kiloswas scared of blowing something05:47
DigiGramWell not as far as I know05:48
Kilosaw no green light06:07
Kilosmurphy lives here06:07
DigiGramthen you will need a cross-over cable, or you need to cross yours06:08
Kilosi will cut and crossover, thanks06:09
Kiloshiya maiatoday 06:28
maiatodayhi Kilos06:36
Kiloswhew DigiGram what a business. changed cards and this one shows green light06:48
Kilosolder pc with network card in and this one connected to mb connector06:49
Kilosno light on mb to see06:49
DigiGramno light? I have only seen that on laptops06:51
Kiloslol this mb has the socket to plug in but no light06:52
DigiGramweird06:52
DigiGramwell, then you have to keep an eye on the desktop notifications06:52
Kiloshehe. other pc shows connected. but this one keeps trying to connect07:01
Kilosmaybe one mustnt be auto connect07:02
DigiGramubuntu or XP?07:03
Kilosin the ipv6 settings i made it automatic dhcp only and now shows connected07:09
Kilosdunno what that means but we are connected07:10
DigiGramit just means one PC will give an IP and the other will listen07:10
DigiGramnormally I make them both manual so I can choose IP's, but it's your choice07:10
DigiGramif you need the IP, you can get it with ifconfig in ubuntu or ipconfig in winblows07:11
Kilosi dont use winsucks07:11
DigiGramjust making sure lol07:11
Kilosthat listening bit. does that mean the other one is the boss?07:12
Kilosor is that just to connect07:12
DigiGramjust for the connection07:12
Kilosgreat07:13
Kilosty07:13
Kiloshi charlvn 07:47
Kilosyou been scarce07:48
charlvnhi Kilos 08:13
charlvnyeah i have been busy08:13
charlvnhow's it going08:13
Kilosok and there08:15
DigiGramGit for noobs, what other howto's assume you know --> http://beinganengineer3.blogspot.com/2012/09/git-for-noobs.html13:15
DigiGramI'm still getting the hang of this blogging thing, so excuse the poor layout, and the, uhm, wandering off point13:16
charlvnDigiGram: nice13:21
charlvnMaaz: tell kilos sorry for not responding, got busy again, but it's going fine thanks13:21
Maazcharlvn: Righto, I'll tell Kilos on freenode13:21
DigiGramI started with git yesterday, so the info in there is for total n00bs13:21
charlvnDigiGram: that's a good time to write a noob howto :)13:22
DigiGramnormally it is, because I could see what the other howto's assume you know13:22
DigiGram(and I didn't know lol)13:23
charlvnDigiGram: i also found git to be a bit of a mind-shift away from svn, especially since i used cvs before that13:23
DigiGramwell, up until now I've worked in a folder, zipped it once a day to upload to google drive, and that was my management system lol13:23
charlvncrude but effective13:25
DigiGramlol13:26
DigiGramAnd working at home on some of it meant just downloading the zip, deleting the old stuff, and afterwards uploading the zip again. effective, but I want something better13:27
charlvnit's ok if you find a system that works for you as an individual but as soon as you want to start working with a larger group of developers you have a problem13:27
charlvnit's also extremely handy to be able to get a good overview of all the changes on a per-file basis13:28
DigiGramyeah, so I want to keep with the times lol13:29
charlvnwell i can tell you one thing, if you go into an interview for a job as a developer, at least knowing one or two version control systems is an advantage13:30
charlvnprobably any half-decent development company will use at least one type of version control system13:30
DigiGramyeah well, nobody will hire me as a developer lol13:31
charlvnlol ok13:32
charlvnok i am off bbl13:34
Symmetria*sigh*13:42
Symmetriathis country and its BBBEE rules 13:42
Symmetriaare stupid and a pain in the ass13:42
DigiGramlol13:43
SymmetriaI had to spend THOUSANDS getting documentation to show that I was actually allowed to do business with certain people 13:43
Symmetria(if your turnover is less than X, you are automatically certified with a black economic empowerment status level)13:43
Symmetriaproblem is gonna come next year when I go well over that turnover level 13:44
Kiloshmm13:46
Kilosthe trials and tribulations of the idle rich13:46
KilosSymmetria, be like the rest of them, a coupla backhands gets you anything13:47
superflyDigiGram: if you want to deal with the pain in the nether regions, you should use git-flow. if you want to use a more sane version control, you can try bzr13:53
DigiGramI tried bzr onces, quickly decided to rather use my zip file again lol13:53
DigiGramI'll try git-flow, but I'm liking git for my purpouses currently13:53
superflygit-flow is a plugin that works on top of git to make it vaguely useable13:54
superflydunno why you think git is easier than bzr, since bzr is much simpler13:55
DigiGramnah, maybe I had another issue with it and just stopped. maybe I just had more patience when I tried git13:55
KilosSymmetria, no dont13:56
Squirmafternoon13:59
Squirmhmm, couldnt get this pinning thing13:59

Tonberryfew things dalk16:52
KerberoSymmetria: is there a way i can dial a vpn to one of your routers to get routed ipv6 to experiment with?16:53

Cantideboot-repair worked for me tonight17:15
Cantidenote to self: stop kicking your HDD's while your PC is on17:15
Kerberothis is not going to work :(17:24
Kerberoto get internet access i have to use a proxy server17:24
Kerberoand it does not seem like tunnelbroker supports a proxy like openvpn does17:24
KilosCantide, boot-repair is tricky if you have more than one drive and take the second one out to use somewhere else17:34
Cantidei removed my Windoze HDD before trying it out17:36
Cantidei can just plug it back in and change boot options in my bios if need be17:36
Cantidebut i haven't used Windoze in a few months :p no loss17:36
Kiloslol17:36
Kilosif you do it with 2 linux drives and want to use the second one in another machine give me a shout first17:39
Kilosthere is a trick to doing it17:40
Cantidehaha17:41
Cantideokay, will do :p17:41
Kilosim serious17:41

Cantideand one storage drive17:41
Kilosah17:41
Cantidechances are i will keep it this way17:41
Kilosi have 317:41
Kiloswhat i really like about ubuntu is one is able to remove a drive and use it in another machine without hassles17:47
Kilostry that with winsucks17:47
Cantide:p17:48

superflynuvolari: then you should be greeted with a page that says, "Income tax work page"18:38
superflyon that page you'll see a list of returns at the bottom18:38
superflywhere it says, "return type" you'll probably have an entry labeled "ITR12"18:38
superflyif you click on that link, it opens up the return for you18:38
nuvolarihmm, my results are empty 18:40
nuvolariI'll go ask the lady at finance tomorrow. Tax is all greek to me :-/18:42
