magespawnstick them on the bottom of things that are light but need a little padding eg portable hard drives06:21
superflyah, awesome idea06:21
magespawnnow if i can patent it i will be rich lol06:29
magespawnneed to find a glue that will not disolve the ring06:31
magespawnty superfly06:38
superflymagespawn: for what?06:39

Kilosi need to get kppp working because for some strange reason sakis3g isnt working to mxit today07:16
Kilosbut dunno if it can find the modem if sakis3g is connected07:17
Kilossuperfly, how do i give this file back to root07:19
KilosError: "/var/tmp/kdecache-miles" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.07:19
Kilosi dunno why its mine07:20
Kiloshi zeref 07:21
Kilosthe hummer07:21
magespawnKilos wait for confirmation but can you not chown it to root?07:21
Kilosoh maybe with root:root07:22
Kilosinstead of miles:miles07:22
Kilosdoes that work07:22
Kiloshehe07:22
Kilosi think sakis3g steals the temp folder07:23
magespawnnot sure 07:23
Kilosbut 07:23
Kilosit seems to be a common prob07:23
Kiloshttp://www.codecoffee.com/tipsforlinux/articles/14.html07:24
Kiloslast paragraph shows it07:25
Kilosbut not the noob way to fix it07:25
