=== Digi||Gram is now known as DigiGram | ||
DigiGram | good morning | 07:27 |
DigiGram | go 8ta, service is much better, even the customer care peeps are more efficient --> | 07:27 |
DigiGram | last time we asked when 8ta will have coverage in Potch, the lady told us they are using the existing telephone poles, so they already have nation wide coverage | 07:28 |
DigiGram | when asked how your cell will connect to the telephone line, she stopped and referred us to someone else lol | 07:28 |
Kerbero | lol | 07:30 |
Kilos | lol | 07:31 |
Kilos | hi DigiGram Kerbero | 07:31 |
Kilos | DigiGram, when you fone them talk to the data guys | 07:32 |
Kilos | they ask where you stay and check if you have coverage there too | 07:32 |
DigiGram | well, I'm off again, going to try running Clonezilla from a USB drive, my normal bootable USB does not want to boot it... hmmm | 07:32 |
DigiGram | afterwards I've talked to them, no coverage for data here yet | 07:33 |
Kilos | good luck | 07:33 |
Kilos | aw | 07:33 |
Kilos | they then share withmtn as well | 07:33 |
DigiGram | Cell C only covered 3G here about 2 weeks ago | 07:33 |
Kilos | dont you have cell coverage there | 07:33 |
Kilos | where are you | 07:34 |
DigiGram | Potchefstroom | 07:34 |
DigiGram | MTN has great coverage here | 07:34 |
DigiGram | even in the basements | 07:34 |
Kilos | 8ta and mtn share | 07:34 |
DigiGram | Cell C had good GSM coverage, only introduced 3G recently though | 07:34 |
Kilos | where they dont have their own towers | 07:34 |
Kilos | roaming i think they call it | 07:35 |
DigiGram | oh cool, will have a look, I want something with good coverage for my iPad | 07:35 |
DigiGram | oh yes, Cell C roams with Vodacom | 07:35 |
magespawn | DigiGram did you use tuxboot to ser u0 the clonezilla? | 07:35 |
Kilos | ya and when voda is busy the limit cellc users | 07:36 |
magespawn | Kilos thank you | 07:36 |
Kilos | been there done that | 07:36 |
DigiGram | Cell C gave me a good contract, so I'm happy to stick it out with them | 07:36 |
Kilos | np magespawn | 07:36 |
DigiGram | YUMI from pendrivelinux.com magespawn | 07:36 |
magespawn | let me know if it works, they reccommen tuxboot | 07:37 |
DigiGram | I'll let you know, otherwise I'll try tuxboot | 07:37 |
DigiGram | let me go try it, I need to get my installation over to a new harddrive and then need to clone the system, so here goes nothing | 07:40 |
magespawn | good luck | 07:41 |
DigiGram | okay, so Clonezilla boots, but I think I need to google it more to actually be able to use it lol | 07:51 |
Kilos | lol | 07:52 |
Kilos | hi Vince-0 | 08:27 |
Vince-0 | Hi Kilos, always wide awake I see | 08:38 |
Kilos | except when im sleeping | 08:39 |
Kilos | hehe | 08:39 |
Vince-0 | do you have IRC open on a screen always? | 08:40 |
Kilos | yip on its own desktop | 08:40 |
Kilos | workspace | 08:40 |
Kilos | one whole workspace just for xchat | 08:41 |
DigiGram | magespawn, YUMI worked great for Clonezilla, Just the one USB drive that does not want to boot on that specific PC | 09:36 |
DigiGram | a question for you guys.. with all of the DE's around, what would give a nice spinn-off between performance and looks on 1GB ram, Centrino?? LXDE is good, but can't seem to customize it much, XFCE I just don't like, Unity, well, lets leave it at that, and KDE is way to slow, and I presume after 10.10 that just got worse | 09:38 |
Kilos | lol | 09:41 |
Kilos | 10.10 is/was great | 09:41 |
DigiGram | I know the best performance will be on a newer PC, but my budget does not allow that at this moment | 09:41 |
Kilos | have you looked at lubuntu | 09:42 |
DigiGram | I actually loved KDE at work, but even with the Dual core and 2GB ram it had serious lag while using the browser and stuff like that | 09:42 |
Kilos | or mint | 09:43 |
DigiGram | I'm using lubuntu at home for now (LXDE) but I want to try something with a bit more beauty lol | 09:43 |
DigiGram | I'll try mint, maybe I must set up a quick VM to test the two mint versions and see which I like more | 09:43 |
Kilos | DigiGram, what connw=ection you using? | 09:44 |
Kilos | whew | 09:44 |
Kilos | connection | 09:44 |
DigiGram | at home I have iBurst wireless, but here I'm on an Uncapped TENET line with this speed: http://www.speedtest.net/result/2120673249.png | 09:45 |
DigiGram | and also most new distro's are cached on campus, so I can try anything | 09:45 |
Kilos | if you like playing look at tinycorelinux | 09:46 |
Kilos | methinks you can customise it to suit yourself | 09:46 |
Kilos | needs cable connection to start off as you need to get everything for it | 09:47 |
Kilos | the basic gui was quite cute | 09:47 |
DigiGram | wow it actually looks nice | 09:48 |
Kilos | and tons of packages are up there | 09:48 |
Kilos | even xchat | 09:48 |
DigiGram | I have tried puppy as well, the one based on ubuntu worked good for me, but I set it up as a PC-on-the-go on my USB drive, I prefer ubuntu at the heart of my computer | 09:48 |
Kilos | lol thats why i am braving it out with unity | 09:49 |
Kilos | tiny is very fast | 09:50 |
DigiGram | I'm still dumb with linux, so I like something I can easily google, and I love apt-get | 09:50 |
Kilos | lol | 09:51 |
DigiGram | tiny really looks good, I think I'll set it up in a VM, or maybe install to a USB drive | 09:51 |
Kilos | thats an idea. it might even work on my 2g stick | 09:51 |
DigiGram | I have on a 4GB stick AcronisAntimalwareScanCD, AVG Live CD, clonezilla, Hirens, SafeCD and Puppy Linux | 09:53 |
DigiGram | it helps to have all of it in one place | 09:53 |
Kilos | whew | 09:53 |
DigiGram | with an image of the stick on my computer offcourse, IT WILL GO BAD sometime or another | 09:53 |
Kilos | whats avg live | 09:53 |
DigiGram | a LiveCD virus scanner | 09:54 |
Kilos | avg is antivirus | 09:54 |
Kilos | haha | 09:54 |
Kilos | dont need that with linux | 09:54 |
DigiGram | In a perfect world every person might use Linux, but around here I'm the only one, and I'm the pc go to guy | 09:54 |
DigiGram | so I do need it often | 09:54 |
Kilos | shame | 09:54 |
Kilos | avast is better than avg | 09:55 |
DigiGram | it depends | 09:55 |
Kilos | avg really slows a pc down | 09:55 |
DigiGram | in most scenario's avast was just a blob for me... I worked at IT helpdesk on campus, so I saw lots and lots of virusses | 09:55 |
DigiGram | yeah but when you use a LiveCD you do not worry about Windows that slows the PC down, as it boots in a Linux environment | 09:56 |
Kilos | ah | 09:56 |
Kilos | hi aquarat | 10:17 |
aquarat | Hi kilos :-) | 10:26 |
superfly | too much backlog to read. Kilos you're being noisy again :-P | 10:32 |

Symmetria | lol | 10:42 |
Symmetria | she doesnt wanna eat them | 10:42 |
Symmetria | she just wants to chase anything that moves | 10:42 |
Symmetria | birds, grasshoppers, moths, if its smaller than her, and it moves, its there to be hunted | 10:42 |
Symmetria | and she's scarily good at it | 10:42 |
Symmetria | :p | 10:42 |
Kilos | lol | 10:43 |
Symmetria | heh I watched her take out a bird this morning before I could stop her, she goes into this kinda leopard crawl pose and stalks the damn birds with infinite patience | 10:44 |
Symmetria | till she is close enough and then wham, dead bird | 10:44 |
Symmetria | and holy hell she's fast | 10:44 |
Kilos | get a big pot and make wild bird soup for her supper | 10:45 |
Squirm | <Kilos> you planning on moving on Squirm <-- Kilos: I'm looking to find a job in a linux field as a sys admin. so I want to continuously move in that direction. but I guess another year won't hurt. hopefully they'll have a better contract for me in the next month :P (Only had a 1 year contract but afaik it's being renewed) | 10:57 |
Kilos | ah | 10:58 |
magespawn | thanks DigiGram nice to know it works with others too. | 11:03 |

superfly | nuvolari: which browser? | 18:31 |
nuvolari | superfly: I tried both firefox and chromium | 19:54 |
nuvolari | I had issues with chromium not even displaying flash content | 19:54 |
nuvolari | then installed flash from adobe's site (manual extraction and copy to directories) | 19:54 |
nuvolari | and then it worked fine for both | 19:55 |
nuvolari | adobe's site report chrome's flash as 11.2.something | 19:55 |
superfly | and what version of flash were they looking for? | 19:56 |
nuvolari | 10.1 or later | 19:56 |
superfly | but I have 11.2 ? | 19:59 |
nuvolari | hmm, let me check my cookies | 19:59 |
nuvolari | nope, I hive up | 20:04 |
nuvolari | *ive | 20:04 |
nuvolari | *give | 20:04 |
nuvolari | it doesn't like me :P | 20:04 |
superfly | still doesn't work for me either | 20:05 |
nuvolari | oh! hmm | 20:06 |
nuvolari | maybe I should report it to them | 20:06 |
magespawn | i could only get the site to work on windows | 20:07 |
nuvolari | :O | 20:07 |
nuvolari | maybe I should try installing acrobat | 20:08 |
magespawn | bit like cipro only works with ie and they do not bother to tell you either. | 20:09 |
magespawn | good evening by the by | 20:09 |
* nuvolari tips hat | 20:10 | |
nuvolari | g'evening :) | 20:10 |
superfly | nuvolari: if they actually respond to any e-mails | 20:10 |
superfly | the last time I tried to get anything out of them I was left with fines to pay because they never bothered to help me | 20:10 |
magespawn | just goes to show | 20:11 |
nuvolari | :-/ crooks | 20:11 |
magespawn | another reason why i don't | 20:11 |
nuvolari | hmm, they probably don't have 'the internets' because I can't find an email address :P | 20:12 |
nuvolari | I'll comment on their facebook page and mention 'computer discrimination' | 20:14 |
nuvolari | rather Operating System discrimination? | 20:14 |
superfly | nuvolari: don't use the "d" word | 20:14 |
superfly | just tell them that you are unable to file your taxes because their site is broken, and could they please fix it ASAP. | 20:15 |
nuvolari | unequal computer treatment :P | 20:15 |
superfly | nuvolari: what's their FB page? | 20:15 |
nuvolari | http://www.facebook.com/sarstax | 20:15 |
nuvolari | but looks like you'll need to like it first before you can complain, which kinda sucks | 20:15 |
magespawn | because we Don't Like it. | 20:17 |
nuvolari | ok, unliking, since liking doesn't change anything | 20:17 |
nuvolari | I can fill out the recommendation section | 20:17 |
superfly | nuvolari: if you refresh you should see my comment | 20:17 |
nuvolari | ha, I'm next in line, hang on | 20:18 |
magespawn | how the little one superfly? | 20:19 |
superfly | magespawn: the usual. fussbucket | 20:22 |
magespawn | they grow out of that..... eventually | 20:22 |
superfly | nuvolari: yeah, SARS is useless | 20:23 |
superfly | well, their call centre and their e-mail support | 20:23 |
superfly | I wonder what complaining on HelloPeter would do? | 20:23 |
nuvolari | heh, every comment in the recommendation list is actually a complaint. | 20:23 |
superfly | heh. SARS doesn't respond on HelloPeter, so no point | 20:24 |
magespawn | make you have to pay more tax | 20:24 |
magespawn | ? | 20:24 |
nuvolari | ooh... let's report the sars facebook page for fraud :P | 20:25 |
