Kilosyo Trixar_za 10:16
Trixar_zaHey Kilos, you've been pretty scarce hey10:16
Kilosyeah been trying to save a 160g drive but looks like its sicker10:17
Kilosmight work as storage only10:17
Kilosalso been sleeping lots10:21
Trixar_zaYeah, I have a old laptop drive I put in an external. It's 160GB drive too and USB 310:21
Trixar_zaYou can use it with a USB 1.1 system, but then it needs you to plugin into two sockets10:22
Kilosthis one does weird things. shows disk sleep on and off10:22
Trixar_zaAnd if you do that, 9 times out of 10, Windows will corrupt the partition10:22
Kiloswhy you use windows on it?10:23
Kilosi formatted my external to ext4 and windows cant even see it10:23
Trixar_zaSo I can copy things from other people10:23
Kilosah10:24
Trixar_zaWorks fine in Linux, even when the partition gets broken10:24
Kiloshehe10:24
Trixar_zaOh, been meaning to tell you about sakis3g10:25
Kilosyes?10:26
Trixar_zaSomebody tested the new version I made and his 3G modem could connect where before it wouldn't10:26
Trixar_zaconnected*10:26
Kilosnice10:26
Trixar_zaMeaning the modification I made to the 67 files helped10:26
Kilosive never had probs connecting with it, only installing without the site working10:27
Kilosgreat10:27
Kiloswhy dont you make it a .deb file as well then installs will be easy10:28
Kilosis that major work?10:29
Trixar_zaDebian packages aren't my forte and I probably need to make a site for it now10:29
Trixar_zaOh and find people to make the 64bit and ARM versions10:30
Kiloswell at least you keep busy hey10:30
Kiloswerent you going to capetown after work a while back?10:31

Squirmanyone here happen to know if a decent Android phone for sale?13:31
SuperhumanSquirm: what is you budget like?14:29
Superhuman*your14:29
Superhumanwhat are you looking at spending for the phone?14:29
SquirmSuperhuman: at a stretch, R3k14:29
Squirmmeh, now I like the Nexus 4 :P But it's $300usd, they don't ship to SA so it's a mission to get it here. 14:30
SuperhumanThe best would be to look at the phones in your price range, and the start comparing them on gsmarena.14:35
SuperhumanTook me 2 weeks to decide which phone to take on my upgrade. Settled for the Huawei Ideos X5. Great low/mid range phone.14:36
SuperhumanThe only thing your decicion should be based on; is the hardware. Do you want a big camera, look at Sony Ericsson (they used to have the best cameras in their phones, don't know now).14:39
SquirmSuperhuman: I had the Ideos X515:19
Squirmuntil it was stolen15:19
Squirmnow I can't find where to pay cash for it15:19
