Kilosmorning all07:57
magespawnhey Kilos 07:57
Kiloswhat a storm we had last night after midnight07:58
Kilosmethinks hours of lit up skies and 48mm rain07:58
Kilosinetpro, ^^07:58
magespawnsounds like a good old fashioned highveld thunderstrom08:00

Kilosyeah was wonderful08:00
Kilosnormally it storms and 3mm rain08:01
Kilosyou gonna laugh magespawn 08:01
magespawnwhy?08:02
magespawnanother install?08:02
Kilosthat trying to go to wikipedia links smile gave last night crashed my 160g drive08:02
Kiloshehe08:02
Kilossays boot sector is messed up after 3 12.10 tries the deleted parts with xp. then 12.10 said drive faulty08:03
Kilosthen tried kde and its just said install finished reboot08:03
magespawnokay08:04
magespawnso you running kde now?08:04
Kilosno on maverick here. had to swop pcs around because i had win 98 on old one going for the floppy boot stiffy thing08:05
magespawnany luck/progress with the flashing of the bios?08:06
Kilosi havent tried it yet. downloaded the flash/upgrade zip files from different places and only found the one from taiwan has the .rom file in 08:08
Kiloshi timkeller 08:08
Kilosbut they give a strange command in the link i got on how to do it08:08
Kilosthe command doesnt match with the .rom or .exe files08:09
Kilosthey use the start of a .exe and add .rom on instead of .exe08:09
Kilosso that i need to clarify before i try the flash08:10
Symmetriahrm08:10
Symmetriasup08:10
Kiloshi Symmetria 08:11
Symmetriaso, since my webdesign skills suck ass, and I have need of certain things, time to see if I can figure out how to use a proper webdesign tool like adobe muse ;p08:11
Kiloshehe never too old to learn08:12
Kilosoh also magespawn i swopped my /swap and /boot partitions around with kde so maybe it will take unity as well08:14
magespawnnever really liked those all in one software suites, they almost always seem to add extra code08:14
Kiloswhat?08:15
magespawnwas responding to Symmetria 08:16
Kiloswhew08:16
Kiloshehe08:16
Symmetriamagespawn heh, agreed, but for a non-coder08:20
Symmetriathey make life simple08:20
magespawnSymmetria: is that liquid cooling you have on the machine?08:31
Symmetriayeah08:31
Symmetriathe pc-cooler.jpg image?08:31
Symmetria;p its awesomeness08:31
magespawndoes the radiator have its own fan?08:32
Symmetrialol, not quite as awesome as the other project a friend of mine and I are attempting though, but lol, thats more long term, we're busy building an entirely new type of pc case for another machine Im putting together as an experiment08:32
Symmetriamagespawn 2 x 120mm fans 08:32
Symmetriaon the outside of the radiator08:32
magespawnthats the first one i have seen for inside the case08:33
Symmetriawhich are software controllable (the one cable to that cooler actually runs to a USB interface off the motherboard)08:33
magespawnall othe radiator have gone outside08:33
magespawncoolant?08:33
Symmetriaprophelyn gycol I think its called08:33
Symmetriabut its an entirely sealed unit08:33
magespawnsimilar to stuff in cars08:34
Symmetriaheh magespawn *grin* wait till you see our new fun project if we get it right, we're effectively building a pc into a giant salt water fishtank ;p08:34
magespawnsaw something similar08:35
Kiloshehe08:35
Symmetriathe pc itself, the plan is in clear plastic etc to have the thing completely waterproofed and suspended in the fish tank with pretty lights etc, and tube the outlets to the outside of the tank, but whats special about this, we're looking at using the fish tank water itself as a coolant as well08:35
magespawnthey filled the tank with non-conductive oil covering all the components08:35
Symmetriadammit08:37
Symmetriagot disconnected08:37
Symmetriaso if you said anything since 10:36 I missed it08:37
Symmetria;p08:37
Symmetriaheh magespawn in theory, we can actually circulate the water in the tank through the cooler pump08:38
magespawnhttp://forums.pcformat.co.za/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=3627408:38
Symmetriaand since you have such a large quantity of water in a fish tank 08:38
magespawndo you have and condensation problems?08:39
magespawnon your machine08:39
Symmetrianope08:39
Symmetrianot at all08:39
magespawnmight be a problem down here, how cold does it run at?08:40
Symmetriahttp://196.32.210.12/machine.png08:41
Symmetriasorry got disconnected again ;p something up with my net connection08:41
Symmetriaheh, thats OC'ed slightly less than what I have it now, I pushed that to 4ghz with no problem since then08:41
Symmetriabut that machine.png was a heat test I ran, it had been running completely maxed like that for an hour when I took that screenshot08:42
magespawnso temp is stable but not actually cold perse?08:42
Symmetriayeah08:43
Symmetriayou don't wanna run 2 cold because if you do you get condensation08:43
Symmetriathe idea is to keep the temp between 25 and 50 dependant on load and heavy overclocking etc 08:43
magespawnyes here in hluhluwe anything cooler than 20-22 degrees gets condensation08:44
Symmetriaheh, I went with that cooling unit to solve a specific problem, namely, machine was overheating badly when doing certain extremely cpu intensive things08:44
Symmetria(video editing in AE for example)08:44
Kiloswbb08:53
magespawnSymmetria: how do write a ipv6 address with a port number?09:09
inetproMaaz_: tell Kilos we had 28mm10:03

charl_how's it going this fine evening18:37
magespawnhey charl_ 18:37
charl_we have a meeting monday?18:37
magespawnhey smile4ever 18:38
smile4everhi charl_ & magespawn18:38
smile4ever:)18:38
smile4evercharl_: very good! :)18:38
smile4everand you?18:38
magespawncharl_: i think so, Kilos was reminding everyone about it earlier18:38
charl_good, i just had a light cold or something the last few days, but it seems to have passed now18:38
charl_magespawn: cool, not that i ever contribute much to those though :(18:38
charl_not being in south africa might have something to do with it :)18:39
magespawnhere is a bit of news18:41
Symmetriafor anyone interested in Internet governance stuff18:41
Symmetriahttp://www.alstonnetworks.net/proposals/index.php?title=1._Resolution_as_regards_AfriNIC_interaction_with_the_ITU18:41
magespawnaccording to popular mechanics pastebin is a hacker code sharing site18:42
charl_lol18:42
charl_let's face it, it has been used a lot by anonymous lately, not that it was the originally intended purpose18:42
Cantidegood night 'o'18:42
charl_but i don't like pastebin much anymore, it is too full of ads18:43
magespawndo mide the discriptiin really, just the negative association of 'hacker'18:43
charl_the width of the text area is very limited18:43
charl_oh i see, but that is a standard confusion issue18:43
magespawnindeed18:44
magespawnand in a mag dedicated to hacking of one sort or another18:44
charl_i always follow this iptv show called hak5 and a few shows ago darren kitchen (one of the hosts) spoke about some of what they had to deal with18:44
charl_they apparently had trouble securing a home loan at one point due to their association with "hacking"18:44
magespawni watch them too.18:45
charl_good show, i have been following them since the end of season 118:46
charl_i used to travel a lot so couldn't always follow them immediately but i would go back and watch the episodes later18:46
charl_that's the biggest advantage for me of iptv personally, the fact that i don't have to use a video recorder18:47
magespawnthats the best way to watch i find18:47
magespawnyup watch on demand18:47
magespawnwonder if timkeller has thrown up yet18:47
charl_yes and then people go and buy these expensive dvr machines for it18:47
charl_he's on a terrible connection18:47
charl_oh it's a mweb capetown netblock18:48
magespawnfunny how pppl like to stay with what they know18:48
charl_i guess it's an obvious thing really, people learn incrementally18:48
charl_rinse, lather, repeat, and most people simply don't know any better18:48
magespawni thought they sorted their problems earlier18:48
charl_could be the last-mile connection18:49
magespawnindeed like trying to get people to pay to read/watch content18:49
magespawnhave you heard of techdirt?18:50
charl_not really, what is that?18:50
magespawnblog/website about legal/internet/copyright etc18:51
charl_oh yeah i just searched it up on google18:51
magespawninteresting reading18:51
charl_the thing is that the people who are trying to extort us for money are not content authors18:51
magespawnindeed18:51
charl_i want to support authors making great content, not large monopolies18:51
magespawnjust the gate keepes18:51
magespawnyes18:51
charl_in the meantime, the monopolies are using the authors as an excuse to extort people18:52
charl_have you heard about what happened in finland last year? lemme find the link18:52

* magespawn goes to read18:53
magespawncharl_: and these are in no way isolated cases18:58
charl_yup unfortunately19:00
charl_this is just one that got some media attention :)19:00
magespawntechdirt covers the same sort of stuff state side19:01
charl_good19:01
charl_we need to get the word out :)19:01
