[00:32] why arent you all asleep yet [06:32] morning superfly and others [06:34] hi jrgns fones dont swim [06:34] hi Vince-0 got some research for you [06:34] hi Kilos :) damn, wish I knew that before I threw mine in the pool! [06:34] lol what have you done with it [06:35] it's bonding with some rice [06:35] can help you try fix it [06:35] thnx [06:35] i suspect the plastic cover I had prevented too much water coming in [06:35] did you try turn it on [06:35] so I'm letting it dry out in the rice for a couple of days, and then assess the damage [06:36] yes, once, to make some urgent calls. the screen was working, but a bit eratic [06:36] the rest seems fine. [06:36] eek [06:36] in the mean time i've resurrected my htc desire [06:36] first thing with wet fone is remove battery. moisture causes short circuits on the pc board [06:37] yeah, did that. only turned it on after a couple of hours in the rice [06:37] anyway you might be lucky [06:37] i'm hoping to be, thanx [06:37] ok then you gotta open the covers and you will see where moisture has got to on the board [06:39] if you seriously want to save it get to an electronics shop and buy some servisol or spanjaardt lubricating switch cleaner [06:39] then strip the fone so you get to all sides of circuitry and plugin holes [06:40] spray with cleaner everywhere except on glass and stand upright for excess to drip off [06:41] even put in sun for coupla hours then you can reassemble and use again [06:41] rice is food [06:41] good luck [06:42] you gotta do it quick before the fone grows gills and fins [06:44] jrgns: ^^ [06:45] it should be perfect after that [06:47] lol [06:47] thanx for the advice [06:50] yw [06:51] good morning everyone [06:52] hi oom Kilos [06:52] hi plustwo hows things [06:52] good and kwl, some cold and flu [06:52] how do you do?

I think I might spend my money more wisely [09:24] Vince-0: book early enough and you get R400 [09:24] :) [09:43] hi psyatw [09:44] hi Kilos === Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za === Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za [10:16] Interesting [10:16] Kilos: I figured out why the newer devices doesn't work Sakis3g [10:16] They lack DefaultVendor, DefaultProduct and CheckSuccess [10:16] Why they are important still escapes me since the database building script ignores them [10:23] well done Trixar_za what is it? [10:23] oh ok [10:23] weird hey [10:24] would be so much easier if on could just use gparted and make the usb storage in the modems not be seen [10:24] even be able to delete that partition would be good [10:27] or format it to some fs that nothing use [10:27] uses === Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za [10:29] did you miss that Trix[a]r_za ? [10:42] Vince-0: you can read up on how to check if there is line of site there too [10:43] http://ptawug.co.za/site/gettingstarted/ [10:50] yep [10:51] checked out growing the durban WUG more up the north side but I live in a valley, no LOS [10:58] aw [10:59] same here mountains both sides of where they seem to have hotspots [11:37] hi theblazehen [11:38] anyone listen to this ZA tech show? [11:39] hi kilos [11:48] Vince-0: I have listened to it from time to time [11:49] if there was more time I'd listen more regularly [11:50] last one was 7 days ago, [11:51] My review: meh [11:51] SEACOM can confirm that at 06:20 GMT 27 March, the SMW4 cable system suffered a cable cut off the coast of Egypt. Earlier this morning, SEACOM had restored all services on both SMW4 and IMEWE cable systems. [11:52] Symmetria: eish! [11:53] vandalism? [11:53] inetpro *IF* any of this is deliberate, which I doubt, then its not vandalism, its terrorism [11:54] you cant just vandalize a cable like this, you would need significant resources to deliberately take out a cable (where as accidents do happen) [11:54] right [11:55] suux [11:55] I switched to Openweb/IS and my international games are good again [11:56] Kilos: how's tara? [11:57] havent heard yet inetpro [11:58] ty for the info Symmetria === Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za [13:11] Kilos: Been re-building the files that are different or got updated [13:12] I may have missed one or two. Still got 57 files to go [13:12] :/ [13:12] whe [13:12] whew too [13:14] http://pastebin.ca/2343434 [13:14] When I'm done, that should be the list of supported devices [13:14] Although I still need people to compile the binary version for 64bit and ARM systems [13:14] Oh well :P [13:16] sjoe [14:52] * Trixar_za gets lazy [14:52] Still 27 files to go [14:52] I've done 40 of them already [14:59] I'm starting to learn about wicket (java web framework) anybody have experience with it. [15:30] whew Vince-0 that wireless is major work [15:30] easier to make buddies with 8ta [15:30] hi! yes indeed. [15:30] I can do it with some cheap ubiquity equipment [15:30] lol did you read what all is involved [15:30] wow [15:31] special router and radio and what not [15:31] yep - will do a site test next time I'm there [15:31] there are a few providers that use it but businesses should really know better [15:31] and use licensed spectrum [15:36] Come on me, don't be lazy. Only 8 more to go... [15:40] hello [15:47] Trixar_za: what are you doing? [15:48] Rebuilding the 67 changed files from the usb-modeswitch-database so it can work with sakis3g [15:49] Giving us a grand total of 273 devices [15:49] :P [15:52] energetic fella [15:52] Trixar_za: and will that feed back into the ubuntu repositories? [15:53] Kilos: is your device listed? [15:54] well kde sees it as tct mobile [15:54] Probably not. It works perfectly fine with usb-modeswitch, but sakis3g's internal stuff required a bit more if the binary and database was included with (and compressed within) it. [15:54] its an older alcatel [15:54] So I just used the last database that worked well (before the change over to the new, more concise variables) [15:55] and then expanded the newer files to have the same format as the older database [15:55] So the newer files should work with Sakis3g now [15:56] Trixar_za: who are you doing this for? [15:56] just for yourself? [15:57] Myself mostly since sakis3g is pretty dead. There are a handful of people that use my copy like Kilos and the SliTaz Linux people that use my sakis3g package. [15:57] and kbmonkey [15:57] from PPA? [15:57] peeps who have probs with nm [15:58] The usb_modeswitch don't really care and I'm not sure the others like ArchLinux would care :P [15:59] usb_modeswitch people* [16:01] hmm... [16:01] Trixar_za: well done anyway [16:01] perhaps you should write up a blog and tell us how you're doing it [16:01] * Kilos seconds that [16:04] Probably [16:04] :P [16:06] Seems there is support for some LTE modems too [16:06] Which is nice [16:33] evening all [16:34] hello~ [17:27] hi magespawn Cantide [17:31] hello~ [17:35] night all. sleep tight [18:03] sjoe he went to sleep early [18:03] hope he's ok === Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za [18:56] inetpro maybe he had a busy day [19:50] night all === Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za === Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za [23:54] hi [23:54] nevermind
