Kilos | hi not_found | 06:51 |
not_found | uncle Kilos :) how has winter been? | 06:52 |
Kilos | still getting worse slowly not_found we aint neen under 4c yet | 06:54 |
not_found | brrrrr | 06:54 |
Kilos | 4°c | 06:56 |
Kilos | thats better. forgot the capslock was the compose key | 06:56 |
not_found | still brrrrrrr | 07:02 |
Kilos | lol yeah winter really sucks | 07:07 |
not_found | not here... if it was winter here the whole year everyone would want to live here :p | 07:09 |
Kilos | yeah like in the tropics | 07:14 |
not_found | but even the tropics aren't that great all year round... I hate high humidity :/ | 07:19 |
Kilos | aw | 07:19 |
Kilos | i prefered durbans humidity to the transvaals dryness | 07:19 |
Kilos | imo the only bad thing in the tropics are the mosquitoes | 07:20 |
not_found | I never minded humidity until a summer here >.< | 07:21 |
Kilos | does it get humid there? | 07:21 |
magespawn | Hey any body want a working 28.8 external modem? | 07:22 |
not_found | very very VERY humid... at night it looks like fog, but it isn't, it's just the humidity :'( | 07:22 |
not_found | magespawn:garage sale? :p | 07:22 |
magespawn | Anybody want a working 28.8 modem? | 07:23 |
Kilos | hehe everytime i top up with telkom i get 2g wireless free but nowhere to use it | 07:24 |
Kilos | adsl magespawn ? | 07:24 |
not_found | nope that is dial up | 07:25 |
magespawn | sorry for the double. the quassel is not updating on the phone | 07:25 |
not_found | slowest modem I had was a 36.6 :p | 07:25 |
not_found | and even 56k is actually ridiculously slow | 07:26 |
not_found | *shudder* | 07:26 |
Kilos | isnt it still faster than can be supplied here by the isp | 07:26 |
magespawn | still have people out here using those | 07:26 |
not_found | I remember with a 56k modem using mweb we would get excited if the download speed peaked more than 1kbps for a couple of seconds :p | 07:26 |
Kilos | 1 kb/s? | 07:27 |
Kilos | thats worse than gprs | 07:27 |
magespawn | Kilos: you measure the page load speed with an hour glass | 07:28 |
Kilos | lol | 07:28 |
not_found | magespawn: I can't imagine trying to use the modern web with that | 07:29 |
not_found | yes uncle Kilos... gprs way faster | 07:29 |
mazal | Big downloads needed a calender to measure :-) | 07:29 |
Kilos | arent they upgradeable by changing chips or so | 07:29 |
not_found | nope | 07:29 |
mazal | I would throw it into download manager and work out which day of the week it should be complete hehehe | 07:29 |
Kilos | what in it chooses the speed | 07:30 |
not_found | there was some modems with some compression technicques but even a 100% improvement means 2kbps | 07:30 |
Kilos | thats sounds real, bad | 07:30 |
mazal | Ons was met min teverede | 07:30 |
Kilos | sjoe | 07:30 |
not_found | yup, it was awesome still | 07:30 |
not_found | the good old days :p | 07:31 |
magespawn | and only in 1993/4 this was the cutting edge of connectivity in SA | 07:31 |
Kilos | magespawn, use it as a paper weight | 07:31 |
mazal | Things like irc and rss was much bigger those days as it used less data | 07:31 |
magespawn | BBS | 07:31 |
not_found | and being connected to a phone call all that time meant telkom smiled all the way to the bank | 07:32 |
Kilos | ya | 07:32 |
not_found | usenet | 07:32 |
magespawn | my first months telkom bill on dial up was in the R1500 range | 07:32 |
not_found | the dark underbelly of the net | 07:32 |
Kilos | mweb isnt cheap if you add the costs of the telkom line too | 07:32 |
not_found | ouch | 07:33 |
Kilos | wow | 07:33 |
not_found | that is why I basically went without internet until I came to the UAE | 07:33 |
Kilos | hi Xethron | 07:33 |
Kilos | i thought gprs was bad | 07:33 |
mazal | mweb has been the most expensive from the start | 07:34 |
magespawn | now i pay R600 f | 07:34 |
Kilos | even got to peak at 10 kB/s | 07:34 |
mazal | And I remember they had modems that only their modem could connect to an mweb account | 07:34 |
Kilos | hi charl_ | 07:34 |
magespawn | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_board_system | 07:34 |

magespawn | when i first got a modem Telkom told me they did not support that service without a special application | 07:37 |
charl_ | only got back after 11 and am exhausted now, didn't get enough sleep | 07:38 |
mazal | Oom Kilos he says he will peek in later | 07:38 |

Maaz | Coffee's ready for charl_! | 07:41 |

charl_ | Maaz: thanks | 07:42 |
Maaz | charl_: Okay :-) | 07:42 |

charl_ | ooh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayman_Islands#Taxation | 07:47 |
charl_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayman_Islands#Financial_Services_Industry | 07:47 |
Symmetria | heh the cayman islands is a very good place to store money | 07:48 |
charl_ | apparently yeah | 07:49 |
magespawn | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u8KkvZvVVI&feature=youtube_gdata_player | 07:49 |
magespawn | amazing what people can do now | 07:49 |
charl_ | wow great | 07:50 |
charl_ | magespawn: did you see my photos of maastricht the other day? http://imgur.com/a/oIIcm | 08:18 |
charl_ | that's also a very old city | 08:18 |
Kilos | hi Squirm | 08:23 |
charl_ | hi Squirm | 08:23 |
charl_ | hi psyatw | 08:24 |
Kilos | hi psyatw | 08:24 |
psyatw | hi charl | 08:25 |
psyatw | hi Kilos | 08:25 |
psyatw | charl_* | 08:25 |
Symmetria | hahahah oh man, you gotta love alcatel | 08:28 |
Symmetria | they released a new version of their router code | 08:28 |
Symmetria | and it had a bug in it | 08:28 |
Symmetria | ;p it makes the router stop recognizing half the ram in the box | 08:28 |
Symmetria | thats... quite a bug :) | 08:28 |
Kilos | hi Vince-0 | 08:31 |
Vince-0 | Hi Kilos! | 08:33 |
not_found | who here has heard of discourse? | 08:36 |
Vince-0 | rational discourse? | 08:44 |
Symmetria | lol, someone on efnet challenged me to an ascii war | 08:44 |
not_found | Vince-0: nope... it is a new forum platform | 08:44 |
Symmetria | haha wooops, I dumped so much ascii at him one of the efnet servers split | 08:44 |
Symmetria | haha 450meg ascii flood | 08:45 |
* Symmetria is amused | 08:45 | |
not_found | ouch, they should have kicked you :p | 08:45 |
Symmetria | not_found lol, only reason I can do that is because Im an admin | 08:45 |
not_found | oh haha, makes sense | 08:45 |
Symmetria | users cant flood war between each other, servers wont let em | 08:45 |
Symmetria | its the admins that flood war between them for fun and games | 08:45 |
Symmetria | ;p | 08:45 |
not_found | ah ok... | 08:45 |
Symmetria | and if users are stupid they join the flood war channels to see whats going on | 08:46 |
Symmetria | and find themselves insta disconnected | 08:46 |
not_found | I never got to do that kind of thing because of the strict rules etc :p | 08:46 |
Symmetria | lol, the efnet admins are running like 1.5gig sendqs and the clients are on the servers themselves with huge bandwidth | 08:46 |
Symmetria | not_found lol, on which network? | 08:46 |
not_found | any... | 08:46 |
not_found | then again I am not a big IRC user... | 08:46 |
Symmetria | not_found lol, even on efnet, the opers arent allowed to do it | 08:46 |
Symmetria | the admins, well, rules dont apply to us | 08:46 |
Symmetria | ;p | 08:46 |
not_found | true :p | 08:47 |
Symmetria | efnet rules are pretty simple, users cant do X Y and Z | 08:47 |
Symmetria | opers its slightly more lax | 08:47 |
Symmetria | admins, well, the only rules admins have is that they cant evade bans and cant op themselves etc in user channels | 08:47 |
not_found | I remember a time when posting more than two lines too quickly could get you kicked on some busier channels | 08:47 |
not_found | had to tread softly and not annoy someone with ops | 08:48 |
Symmetria | not_found ahha there is another trick I use on efnet | 08:48 |
Symmetria | I /topic my text | 08:48 |
not_found | that could become a big topic... | 08:48 |
Symmetria | heh, servers all configured to limit text traffic in channels and msg | 08:48 |
not_found | is there a limit to topic size? | 08:48 |
Symmetria | but /topic has no limits | 08:48 |
not_found | lol | 08:48 |
Symmetria | nah, its not one topic | 08:48 |
Symmetria | you set 100k topics in like 5 seconds | 08:49 |
Symmetria | insta death to everyone ;p | 08:49 |
not_found | and the server :p | 08:49 |
Symmetria | lol nah most servers handle it just fine | 08:49 |
Symmetria | I just pushed that one a little 2 far | 08:49 |
Symmetria | ;p | 08:49 |
not_found | :) | 08:49 |
Symmetria | I tried to set 100k topics x 12 clients at the same time | 08:49 |
Symmetria | for 1.2 million topics | 08:49 |
Symmetria | 129500 killflood.txt | 08:50 |
Symmetria | ;p | 08:50 |
charl_ | finally got around to uploading my amsterdam pictures http://imgur.com/a/mlASt/all | 09:25 |
charl_ | got some nice ones | 09:25 |
charl_ | here's one of the dutch pirate party http://i.imgur.com/bntkeLz.jpg | 09:27 |
not_found | a lone flag | 09:29 |
charl_ | ? | 09:29 |
charl_ | you were expecting 10? | 09:29 |
magespawn | yes charl_ i did see the other photos too | 09:29 |
charl_ | cool | 09:30 |
charl_ | been doing a lot of traveling the last week wow | 09:30 |
charl_ | three cities in 8 days | 09:30 |
magespawn | the benefit of living in europe | 09:32 |
magespawn | Symmetria: that reminds me of the zip bomb | 09:32 |
charl_ | that's true, in america you have to travel ridiculously long distances from one place to the next | 09:33 |
charl_ | it's an overpopulation problem but also a benefit in some ways | 09:34 |
charl_ | also means owning land is expensive though | 09:34 |
magespawn | in sa youhave to travel a fair way before getting somewhere | 09:38 |
not_found | oh dear... we are struggling against the netherlands in cricket... I wonder if the team went to some of the cafe's last night and again this morning before the game started >.> | 09:38 |
magespawn | is it the full stength team? | 09:38 |
not_found | won't say it is 100% but we are batting and it is top batsman that have fallen... | 09:39 |
not_found | http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/602761.html | 09:39 |
charl_ | hold on a second, the netherlands plays cricket? | 09:40 |
charl_ | i live in the netherlands and i did not know that | 09:40 |
not_found | no, they are actually playing hockey and that is why our cricket team is loosing :p | 09:41 |
charl_ | being beaten by the netherlands in cricket... that is pretty embarrasing | 09:41 |
charl_ | if you were beaten by england at least you could have said you went up against a formiddable opponent :P | 09:42 |
not_found | well not beaten yet :p | 09:42 |
not_found | lol | 09:42 |
not_found | I wonder when england was considered formidable last...?! | 09:42 |
charl_ | not sure but they invented cricket | 09:42 |
not_found | and rugby... | 09:43 |
charl_ | we don't play cricket or rugby in europe much | 09:43 |
charl_ | *continental europe | 09:43 |
charl_ | not that england is considered to be part of europe in any case :P | 09:43 |
not_found | better not to play a sport you suck at I guess | 09:44 |
not_found | or if you do keep it quiet | 09:44 |
charl_ | it's sport... noone lives or dies from it | 09:44 |
charl_ | it's (supposed to be) just for the lols | 09:45 |
not_found | lots of people live from it actually... that and drive fast cars because of it... | 09:45 |
not_found | and if you play football in south america you better not make to many mistakes you might get shot | 09:45 |
charl_ | i meant live as in not die :P but yes | 09:46 |
charl_ | making a living from sport is possible | 09:46 |
charl_ | but it's entertainment basically | 09:46 |
Kilos | entertainment for the spectators but serious business for the players | 09:49 |
Kilos | big money involved | 09:49 |
magespawn | it never pays to underestimate anybody | 09:49 |
magespawn | IPL is big cash to the players | 09:50 |
charl_ | yeah if i listen to what type of money some football players make in europe it's ridiculous | 09:50 |
charl_ | millions of euros some of them get paid | 09:50 |
charl_ | it's sickening | 09:50 |
charl_ | although, if you are fortunate to be in that position, "why not" | 09:50 |
Symmetria | heh, there is *huge* money in football | 10:00 |
Symmetria | look at what the managers earn even | 10:00 |
Symmetria | Jose Mourinho just signed a 4 year deal with Chelsea for 40 MILLION POUNDS!!!! | 10:01 |
Symmetria | Steve Gerrard earns 225 thousand pounds *a week* | 10:01 |
Symmetria | bastard earns in a week what I earn in a year :( | 10:01 |
not_found | that in a year is a good salary !! | 10:02 |
magespawn | lets not go there | 10:02 |
not_found | lol | 10:02 |
magespawn | that is 5000 pounds an hour assuming 45 hour week | 10:05 |
Kilos | hehe | 10:05 |
magespawn | so he earns more per hour than i do in a year | 10:05 |
Kilos | big bucks in sport | 10:06 |
Kilos | but to be at the top is murder too | 10:06 |
Kilos | many hours of blood sweat and tears | 10:06 |
Squirm[M] | Meh | 10:07 |
Squirm[M] | I can't remember what team I'm on in ingress | 10:07 |
Kilos | lol | 10:07 |
not_found | nobody said it was easy... but still what they do and get paid doesn't scale well with other salaries :p | 10:07 |
Squirm[M] | There is a portal right next to where I'm staying | 10:07 |
not_found | Squirm: lol | 10:07 |
Squirm[M] | I've never seen a portal | 10:08 |
Kilos | not really not_found | 10:10 |
Kilos | almost every geeks can get a job but check how many sportsmen actually manage to make the pro league | 10:11 |
not_found | ok uncle Kilos, so you make the pro-league... thus you should get paid per our what a lot of qualified hardworking people earn per month >.> | 10:12 |
Kilos | lol | 10:12 |
Kilos | its like lawyers | 10:12 |
Kilos | they dont earn what they charge | 10:12 |
