Squirm | which is easy to retrieve | 06:43 |
Squirm | all my settings are still here | 06:43 |

Kilos | hehe | 07:56 |
Kilos | inetpro, ping | 08:01 |
Kilos | http://www.ehow.com/how_7972889_build-50-mile-wireless-antenna.html | 08:01 |
Kilos | maybe ill come steal your wifi | 08:03 |
Kilos | hehe | 08:03 |
* Kilos waits for "point is" or "ai!" | 08:07 | |
Kilos | where theres a will theres a way | 08:15 |
inetpro | Kilos: that is just theory | 08:22 |
Kilos | ok ill keep trying | 08:23 |
Kilos | good morning | 08:23 |
inetpro | Kilos: what do you think is the purpose of them putting the free wifi hotspots? | 08:23 |
inetpro | it's all about doing business | 08:23 |
Kilos | yeah well i already use telkom mobile so i do business with them | 08:24 |
inetpro | haha | 08:24 |
Kilos | maybe ill ask them to put a hotspot here | 08:24 |
Kilos | might just get a friendly okey to agree | 08:25 |
inetpro | they put the hotspots around restaurants, post offices or such places | 08:25 |
Kilos | they gotta make an exception for me | 08:25 |
inetpro | they know if you sit there you will do more business, like buy food, etc | 08:25 |
Kilos | i wonder what the cost of such a hotspot would be | 08:26 |
inetpro | fact is, they don't build the hotspot for long distance | 08:26 |
Kilos | ya thats why the closest one is in a hair salon near the tunnel | 08:26 |
inetpro | nothing for mahala | 08:27 |
Kilos | thats where the antenna must make up for the distance man | 08:27 |
Kilos | good antenna boost signal both ways | 08:27 |
inetpro | ai! | 08:27 |
charl | good morning | 08:28 |
charl | Maaz: coffee on | 08:28 |
* Maaz starts grinding coffee | 08:28 | |
Kilos | im not gonna give up. lost much free wifi data already | 08:28 |
Kilos | Maaz, coffee please | 08:28 |
Maaz | Kilos: Alrighty | 08:28 |
inetpro | Kilos: go ahead and build it, then you show me | 08:28 |
Kilos | ok deal | 08:28 |
inetpro | Kilos: if you have a signal of -90dBm the antenna may be able to improve it to -70dBm | 08:30 |
inetpro | but I bet you you will not even get -150dBm | 08:31 |
inetpro | without the antenna | 08:31 |
Kilos | i dunno how to check that | 08:31 |
inetpro | and anything worse than -110 is just about useless | 08:31 |
Kilos | anyway if the theory says 50 miles then my 7 ks should work | 08:32 |
Maaz | Coffee's ready for charl and Kilos! | 08:32 |
inetpro | jaja | 08:32 |
Kilos | Maaz, danke | 08:32 |
Maaz | Bitteschön | 08:32 |
inetpro | Kilos: with a mobile phone like your android device you can check the signal strength | 08:32 |
inetpro | that is why I say, go to a hotspot and move around the area to test | 08:33 |
Kilos | they dont see any signal apart from neighbour | 08:33 |
inetpro | so if there is no signal then there is nothing to boost | 08:34 |
Kilos | ai! | 08:34 |
Kilos | ill look into the ptawug too | 08:34 |
Kilos | they will have coverage here | 08:34 |
inetpro | Kilos: don't confuse wifi with wireless | 08:36 |
Kilos | oh my isnt it the same thing? | 08:36 |
Kilos | ai! | 08:42 |
Kilos | hi tinuva | 09:03 |

Kilos | then we gotta rev him | 18:49 |
Kilos | lol | 18:49 |
nlsthzn | So many topics... | 18:50 |
nlsthzn | so little time... | 18:50 |
inetpro | nlsthzn: like? | 18:50 |
inetpro | please don't say etolls | 18:50 |
Kilos | haha | 18:50 |
nlsthzn | Well I know that someone likes little helicopters :p | 18:51 |
inetpro | that is no longer interesting | 18:51 |
nlsthzn | and no-one likes the NSA spying | 18:51 |
nlsthzn | I am not sure what is hip and happening in SA right now but it is national day here | 18:51 |
nlsthzn | no more choppers :/ | 18:51 |
inetpro | nlsthzn: looks like even amazon likes the little helicopters | 18:52 |
nlsthzn | you can buy them online now from amazon? | 18:52 |
inetpro | no, they want to do deliveries with quadcopters | 18:53 |
* nlsthzn is at work so can't really chat ... more of sporadic ramblings... which is about normal... | 18:53 | |
nlsthzn | oh yes I saw that ealier | 18:53 |
Kilos | hehe | 18:53 |
nlsthzn | you buy and it gets delivered half an hour later | 18:53 |
Kilos | wow | 18:53 |
inetpro | sounds cool | 18:53 |
nlsthzn | and if your check bounces they send in a drone strike | 18:54 |
inetpro | not sure whether it is feasible | 18:54 |
nlsthzn | cheque | 18:54 |
nlsthzn | I think the tech will be drastically different in the next 5 years | 18:54 |
inetpro | amazon pushing the limits | 18:54 |
inetpro | could be interesting | 18:55 |
nlsthzn | yup | 18:55 |
Kilos | http://clicks.slashdot.org/c.html?ufl=4&rtr=on&s=x8pb08,1pzd9,54g,4u4u,4qsy,65az,2s7v | 18:55 |

Kilos | hi Private_User | 19:17 |
Kilos | higher quality inetpro | 19:17 |
Kilos | maaz is dead | 19:18 |
Private_User | btw I did not know that xchat for windows has only a 30day usage | 19:18 |
Kilos | oh my | 19:18 |
Kilos | nor did i | 19:18 |
Private_User | I am now using Thunderbird to chat | 19:18 |
Kilos | it works as well | 19:19 |
Kilos | or you can delete and reinstall xchat | 19:19 |
Kilos | just remove it properly | 19:19 |
Private_User | I think I will just try this application for now | 19:19 |
Kilos | clean the registry | 19:19 |
Kilos | np | 19:20 |
Kilos | good tool for win is ccleaner | 19:20 |
Kilos | sorts more than just registry | 19:20 |
QA | Coffee's ready for Kilos! | 19:20 |
Kilos | QA, ty | 19:20 |
QA | You're welcome Kilos | 19:20 |
Kilos | cocooncrash, wb | 19:22 |
nlsthzn | hexchat like xchat but free | 19:24 |
nlsthzn | but I paid for xchat cause it is good enough to support | 19:24 |
Kilos | what do they charge nlsthzn ? | 19:24 |
nlsthzn | can't remember... | 19:25 |
nlsthzn | was a few years ago | 19:25 |
psychicist | nlsthzn, are you an engineer then? | 19:25 |
nlsthzn | well, about a year ago | 19:25 |
Kilos | strange its free here | 19:25 |
Kilos | aha | 19:25 |
* nlsthzn wishes he was an engineer... | 19:25 | |
nlsthzn | unschooled worker | 19:25 |
nlsthzn | *unschooled | 19:25 |
psychicist | oh | 19:25 |
Kilos | i wonder why they make it free to linux and charge win peeps | 19:25 |
psychicist | but it's still great you ended up working there | 19:25 |
* nlsthzn can't spell | 19:26 | |
psychicist | hmm | 19:26 |
psychicist | you spelled it correctly the first time as well | 19:26 |
nlsthzn | my spelling is so bad I don't even know when I spell them correctly :p | 19:27 |
Kilos | hahaha | 19:27 |
nlsthzn | I was lucky to get work here... but it is time to go from here and settle down somewhere... as you can't stay here | 19:27 |
Kilos | go to japan | 19:29 |
Kilos | and bring back wasabia plants or seads or whatever | 19:30 |
Kilos | seeds | 19:30 |
psychicist | for how long can you still stay there? | 19:30 |
Kilos | i go crash now. night all. sleep tight | 19:33 |
psychicist | good night Kilos | 19:33 |
inetpro | yikes! | 19:36 |
inetpro | people talking about a tremor in pretoria/JHB | 19:37 |
inetpro | pretoria and JHB | 19:37 |
nlsthzn | that's not good | 19:48 |
nlsthzn | psychicist: no time limit... as long as I can work I can stay | 19:49 |
psychicist | nlsthzn, but as soon as you stop working you must leave? | 19:50 |
nlsthzn | yup | 20:04 |
psychicist | I see | 20:41 |
psychicist | so you can never really settle there, I guess | 20:41 |
nlsthzn | nope... if you are able to afford enough (and expensive enough) residents you can in theory stay indefinitely... but you need lots of money | 20:51 |
