[06:23] what just hyappened? [06:25] Having lots of power failures lately :( [06:25] theblazehen: dunno, freenode is having fun again... it kicked me off too [06:25] mazal: :-( [06:25] mazal: where are you based again? Gauteng? [06:26] Yep , little Cullinan [06:26] superfly: that explains it. [06:26] little cullinan? [06:26] * superfly googles [06:27] Yep , Cullinan , i just mean it's a little town [06:27] oh, right... I know Cullinan [06:27] The diamond mine town [06:27] Yup, that's the one [06:36] morning superfly and others [06:37] hiya maiatoday [06:37] Morning Kilos [06:37] hi mazal [06:39] hi Kilos [06:41] hi jrgns [06:41] morning all, Kilos [06:41] mazal, have you sorted the ssh thing yet [06:41] Nope [06:45] morning all [06:47] hi magespawn [06:48] hey superfly [06:49] I got my code 10 in Cullinan [06:50] eeek === sharpey is now known as Kilos [06:52] pc just rebooted 3 times as soon as its booted past password [06:52] looks like people are playing boomarang today [06:53] then xchat cant get past my cloak host [06:53] hey magespawn [06:53] My problem is power failures , and the rest seems like the interwebs [06:54] mine is like a power failure but power didnt go off. maybe ups playing around, [06:56] hey Kilos [06:59] hi all [07:02] hi Vince-0 [07:12] eek again [07:12] Kilos: overheating? [07:12] removed ups [07:13] whew i dunno superfly [07:13] will add outside cover with fan if it does again [07:15] maybe time for a blow out again === inetpro_ is now known as inetpro [07:21] yo inetpro [07:23] elo Kilos [07:23] and hello everyone else [07:24] hey inetpro [07:25] there is no nefarious intent behind my router questions last night [07:25] was just me being impatient [07:25] Maaz, define nefarious [07:26] Kilos: Nefarious \Ne*fa"ri*ous\, a. [L. nefarius, fr. nefas crime, wrong; ne not + fas divine law; akin to fari to speak. See {No}, adv., and {Fate}.] Wicked in the extreme; abominable; iniquitous; atrociously villainous; execrable; detestably vile.

[1913 Webster], nefariou… [07:26] lol [07:29] you a criminal in disguise magespawn [07:29] i have criminal potential [07:31] hahaha [07:32] we noticed it with the rhino horn [07:32] * Kilos ducks [07:32] potential only Kilos [07:33] lol [07:44] can anyone recommend good IT recruiters? I'm on the prowl for a new position... [07:51] jrgns: you're joking, right? about the IT recruiters? [07:51] jrgns: where are you based? [07:51] Jo'burg [07:51] superfly: why would i be joking? [07:52] jrgns: because almost every IT recruiter I have met knows nothing about IT [07:52] superfly: lol, yeah, that's why i'm asking [07:52] superfly: I've been on both sides of the recruitment process, and generally recruiters make a mess of things [07:52] superfly: but every now and then you hit gold [07:54] jrgns: I only know of one guy who is mostly competant, and he's in Cape Town [07:54] jrgns: are you on the GLUG mailing lists? [07:54] superfly: yup [07:54] superfly: what's his name? doesn't hurt to spread the net wide [07:54] jrgns: have you tried mailing the CLUG-jobs mailing list? [07:54] *GLUG-jobs [07:55] superfly: not yet, it's on the todo list [07:55] though you can try CLUG-jobs too :-) [07:55] hehe [07:55] jrgns: what sort of work do you do? [07:56] superfly: started out as a web dev, but these days it's systems dev & admin, as well as some management roles [07:56] we're looking for developers, but we're in Cape Town [07:56] company? [07:57] www.nomanini.com [07:57] i'll check it out, thnx [09:00] Hi! *was afk [09:23] jrgns: have you played with Python much? [09:23] superfly: not a lot, but i can read it [09:23] superfly: tended towards ruby more than python [09:24] python doesn't have scalability issues like Ruby does [09:42] * Squirm yawns [09:50] hiya kbmonkey [09:51] before lunch and all [09:51] surely the skies will open today [10:45] superfly: noted [10:45] superfly: do you have a link to a writeup of said issues? [10:48] inetpro and kilos i managed to get a console cable [10:49] did you make it magespawn ? [10:49] no went and spoke to the guys i got the router from [10:50] ah [10:50] they would have the username password too [10:51] no that would be it department in jhb [10:51] ah well hack it and put yours in [10:51] that is why i said i was impatient they mailed them this morning [10:52] hahaha [10:52] im the same cant wait for stuff [10:52] must try out immediately [10:53] jrgns: not specifically, that was mostly from friends who've had to deal with issues like that, but there's also the (in)famous rant by that Twitter engineer on how Ruby/RoR was giving them major issues [10:55] brb [10:56] jrgns: by my own experience, Python scales better than PHP [10:57] python! whoot - I'm a fan [11:01] Vince-0: can you write any? [11:05] superfly: kewl. my limited experience suggests the same [11:06] superfly: but hey, don't let facts get in the way of a good conversation ;) [11:06] haha [11:06] jrgns: ever heard of Zed Shaw? [11:07] superfly: nope. quick google says he created mongrel? [11:07] yup, you use mongrel at all? [11:08] maybe you use thin, the successor (i.e. "fork") of mongrel? [11:09] yeah, used thin [11:09] still a lot of resources for a single process [11:10] jrgns: well, a few years back Zed wrote a blog post called "Rails is a Ghetto" and moved to doing Python development after using Ruby and Rails for years - though his rant was more about the community around Rails, rather than RoR or Ruby itself [11:11] superfly: interesting. one of the things that attracts me to ruby is the community. although, i guess ruby comm != rails comm [11:11] i'll keep that in mind. thanx [11:20] superfly, still learning [11:20] got the #ctpug python users on atrum [11:22] Vince-0: you in Cape Town? [11:22] python is my ideal language, I learnt J2ee stuff in the past [11:22] Durban - [11:22] Ah [11:22] but I don't think there's many job opportunities for python in this country [11:22] Vince-0: there's also gtpug [11:22] Vince-0: we're looking for Python/C++/C developers [11:23] ah! I'm a linux/voip admin first - I've avoided hardcore progging for a while [11:24] Vince-0: well, if you ever feel like moving to Cape Town, and you think you're a good developer, come for an interview :-) [11:27] I lived in CPT and stellenbosch for 2 years [11:27] I guess the next logical progression after system admin becomes scripting/perl/python then progging web front ends for tools like voip - so Ima get stuck into some python [11:29] Kilos: the skies are all open here, all clear and blue [11:31] lol i mean open and gooi die groot water [11:31] lol [11:32] bossies begin weer hang [11:41] lo hubx [11:41] hi there [12:18] superfly can programmers not tele work? do they have to be in location? [12:18] magespawn: for Nomanini? no,they have to be here, we do pair-programming [12:44] bbl [12:50] Bye all [12:50] Enjoy the evening [13:03] Kilos: waar's die reen? [14:18] ai inetpro ? [14:19] Kilos: ek's bly die son het jou darem nog nie helemal weggebrand nie [14:19] hahaha ek was afk [14:20] afk=sleeping [14:20] ai! [14:20] kop voel ietwat beter nou [14:20] mooi! [14:20] nou kan ek jou weer treiter [14:21] ek sien doer oor die berg na kerk straat se kant so paar volke wat op bou [15:34] strange hey superfly , pc aint rebooted again since ups removed [15:34] * inetpro wonders why Ubuntu chose to write all logs to just /var/log/syslog and no longer some to /var/log/messages these days [15:34] somehow the faulty battery must be doing it albeit with another outside battery connected too [15:35] Kilos: you messed with the UPS? [15:35] no wonder [15:35] when i got it the battery was dead completely [15:35] and wouldnt charge from ups power [15:36] charged with own batttery charger then pur back\ [15:37] Kilos: ai! [15:38] all i did was parralel an outside battery with it superfly [15:38] ai [15:40] Kilos: what battery is it? UPSes take special batteries called deep cycle batteries [15:40] that cant cause any harm [15:40] i just added a car battery on the outside [15:41] in parralel with the internal one [15:43] but i know the internal one is faulty because it lost some charge when just standing [15:43] but the ups is a horrible thing to open up [15:50] Kilos: don't mess with UPSes [15:50] what can i say superfly , already done months ago [15:50] they are dangerous [15:50] oh tell more [15:52] dangerous to pc or me? [15:52] replacing batteries with batteries of the same spec is safe enough [15:53] but adding higher capacity batteries could cause overheating [15:55] same spec meaning 12v? [15:59] same capacity and current rating too (basically, a battery of the same form factor) [16:00] and the overheating could only come when power gone and running off external battery right? [16:01] from charging, too [16:02] and obviously all safety checks that the UPS does are assuming an internal gel-type battery, not an external wet battery [16:04] things are getting too involved. i thought a ups was just a battery charger with an inverter for the screens voltage added [16:04] and pcs psu of course [16:06] now why does all this sound like the source of many many problems he has had [16:06] ? [16:06] it is. But I don't think it's safe to assume that you can just add more batteries in parallel, to increase capacity [16:06] ai! [16:06] unless the UPS provides a socket for connecting an external battery [16:07] i added some [16:08] ran wires from the battery leads inside to plugin sockets i fitted in the casing [16:09] I'd have disconnected the internal battery too [16:09] most likely, that has a shorted cell or two [16:09] they tend to dry out after a few years [16:09] anyway /me -> dinner [16:10] thats what i gotta do now . thought at the time it wouldnt do much [16:10] ty tumbleweed [16:14] anyone here using drupal 7 and the syslog module on Ubuntu 12.04.1, and considering it a good idea? [16:15] * inetpro doesn't like how it pollutes the syslog files with many strange looking entries [16:16] but I can understand how it could improve performance without having to write to the db [16:17] the documentation is just a bit out of date at http://drupal.org/documentation/modules/syslog [16:18] that is, if you want to make it write to a separate logfile [16:44] inetpro, what performance improvement do you get? [16:45] hi smile [16:46] hi :) [16:50] inetpro: I've never bothered, I never needed it [16:52] what do you guys think about Fedora 18? [17:07] superfly: so you log to the database? [17:09] smile: I haven't tried Fedora for some time [17:10] inetpro: ok :p I don't like it very much [17:10] * inetpro is very happy with Kubuntu [17:14] inetpro: yes [17:16] hi hi [17:16] hi kbmonkey [17:16] kbmonkey: wb [17:17] inetpro, you see the 3 line login???

[19:38] I think Kilos will be happy about the following [19:38] U2t [19:38] * Kilos waits [19:39] ?
