[18:59] lol [18:59] g night all [18:59] night nlsthzn sleep tight [18:59] these portals are in real life locations, so you have to physically go to these locations in order to take control of these portals [19:00] whew [19:00] hey [19:00] is there a right up about this game somewhere [19:00] wb magespawn [19:00] what happened [19:01] Up at the hluhluwe hotel trying to fing the fault on their network [19:01] there's a game for these fancy phones which identifies these portals and you use it to "hack" the portals [19:02] Maaz: Ingress game [19:02] superfly: Sorry... [19:02] Who decides the portals? [19:02] Maaz: Google for Ingress game [19:02] superfly: "Ingress (game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_(game) :: "Why Google's Ingress game is a data gold mine - tech - 29 ..." http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21628936.200-why-googles-ingress-game-is-a-data-gold-mine.html :: "Ingress - Android Apps on Google Play" [19:02] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticproject.ingress :: "Ingress" http://www.ingress.com/ :: "The amazing marketing cam… [19:02] magespawn: you can submit portals [19:03] So i could seriously rule hluhluwe then [19:03] magespawn: you could [19:03] by prtal is it light a portal to another universe kinda thing? where peesp just appear outa the air [19:04] peeps [19:04] Kilos: sort of [19:04] ah [19:06] Kilos: "Ingress is an augmented reality massively multiplayer online video game created by NianticLabs@Google, released for Android devices." [19:06] "Players of the game belong to one of two factions, “Enlightened” (represented in green) and “Resistance” (blue). The game-play allows players to enclose regions of territory on the surface of the earth with virtual links between virtual portals, which are visible in the game software." [19:06] sounds interesting [19:07] They are being quite clever about this. [19:07] but involved [19:07] "The makers of the game have populated the earth with a large number of “Portals”, visible to those using the game software. They are colored green, blue, or grey, depending on whether they are controlled by the Enlightened, the Resistance, or nobody. They are often associated with landmarks such as public sculptures, libraries, and notable buildings." [19:07] "Each portal may be equipped with up to eight Resonators and four Mods. An unclaimed portal has no resonators. To claim a portal for a faction, a player deploys a resonator on it." [19:08] oh so your fone actually knows where they are [19:08] whew [19:08] yes [19:08] whew [19:08] and you use your phone to "hack" portals and to place resonators in the portals [19:08] the things are getting too clever [19:09] Gps is an amazing thing [19:10] yeah i mapped out a farm outside rustenburg with a garmin years ago [19:10] Kilos: nowadays you can map a farm out with your phone :-) [19:10] but hte modern ones even talk to you [19:10] yep, I have turn by turn voice navigation on my phone [19:11] that old garmin was only accurate to within 5 metres [19:11] haha "jy's verby, draai om" [19:12] magespawn, whats the prob there [19:12] same as last time [19:13] you havent sorted the cables yet [19:13] Yup there is fault on the hardware section of the network somewhere [19:14] Busy going though every single port on two 24 port switches [19:14] sjoe [19:14] late night in the big city [19:14] hehe [19:14] Lol [19:16] I have put in three switchs to completly bypass the section of the network where the problem is so they are up and running [19:16] what part isnt running [19:16] is every room wored? [19:16] wired [19:17] Everything is running at the moment [19:18] but the problem is between the servers and the switch room that connects the rest of the network [19:18] Just eliminated the switchs as a problem. [19:21] *switches [19:21] magespawn: a faulty cable? [19:21] lol [19:22] rats been chewing on it [19:29] Kilos: I am now [19:29] Kilos: your feet stink so much it scared my IRC client away!
