[06:30] hi Squirm nlsthzn [06:30] uncle Kilos , alo [06:39] it's all the same :P [06:43] and because I keep /home on a seperate partition, I have everything except software [06:43] which is easy to retrieve [06:43] all my settings are still here [06:45] ya having a /home partition saves lotsa hassles [07:52] 10 days left of work [07:52] today is crawling along [07:53] then how long leave Squirm ? [07:54] 13th - 6th [07:54] Maaz: 31-13+6 [07:54] Squirm: 24 [07:54] Maaz: 31-13+6/7 [07:54] Squirm: 18.8571428571 [07:54] Maaz: (31-13+6)/7 [07:54] Squirm: 3.42857142857 [07:55] oh look, I almost made Pi [07:55] if my holidays were 2 days shorter [07:55] Maaz: (31-13+4)/7 [07:55] Squirm: 3.14285714286 [07:56] hehe [08:01] inetpro, ping [08:01] http://www.ehow.com/how_7972889_build-50-mile-wireless-antenna.html [08:03] maybe ill come steal your wifi [08:03] hehe [08:07] * Kilos waits for "point is" or "ai!" [08:15] where theres a will theres a way [08:22] Kilos: that is just theory [08:23] ok ill keep trying [08:23] good morning [08:23] Kilos: what do you think is the purpose of them putting the free wifi hotspots? [08:23] it's all about doing business [08:24] yeah well i already use telkom mobile so i do business with them [08:24] haha [08:24] maybe ill ask them to put a hotspot here [08:25] might just get a friendly okey to agree [08:25] they put the hotspots around restaurants, post offices or such places [08:25] they gotta make an exception for me [08:25] they know if you sit there you will do more business, like buy food, etc [08:26] i wonder what the cost of such a hotspot would be [08:26] fact is, they don't build the hotspot for long distance [08:26] ya thats why the closest one is in a hair salon near the tunnel [08:27] nothing for mahala [08:27] thats where the antenna must make up for the distance man [08:27] good antenna boost signal both ways [08:27] ai! [08:28] good morning [08:28] Maaz: coffee on [08:28] * Maaz starts grinding coffee [08:28] im not gonna give up. lost much free wifi data already [08:28] Maaz, coffee please [08:28] Kilos: Alrighty [08:28] Kilos: go ahead and build it, then you show me [08:28] ok deal [08:30] Kilos: if you have a signal of -90dBm the antenna may be able to improve it to -70dBm [08:31] but I bet you you will not even get -150dBm [08:31] without the antenna [08:31] i dunno how to check that [08:31] and anything worse than -110 is just about useless [08:32] anyway if the theory says 50 miles then my 7 ks should work [08:32] Coffee's ready for charl and Kilos! [08:32] jaja [08:32] Maaz, danke [08:32] Bitteschön [08:32] Kilos: with a mobile phone like your android device you can check the signal strength [08:33] that is why I say, go to a hotspot and move around the area to test [08:33] they dont see any signal apart from neighbour [08:34] so if there is no signal then there is nothing to boost [08:34] ai! [08:34] ill look into the ptawug too [08:34] they will have coverage here [08:36] Kilos: don't confuse wifi with wireless [08:36] oh my isnt it the same thing? [08:42] ai! [09:03] hi tinuva [09:21] hi psyatw [09:22] hi Kilos [09:55] Morning all [09:56] morning mazal [09:56] morning dru [09:56] drussell [09:57] * drussell waves to psyatw [10:19] hi mazal drussell [10:19] Kilos: hey [10:54] hi Vince-0 [11:09] !Kilos [13:43] inetpro, maak planne gou!!!

[19:25] well, about a year ago [19:25] strange its free here [19:25] aha [19:25] * nlsthzn wishes he was an engineer... [19:25] unschooled worker [19:25] *unschooled [19:25] oh [19:25] i wonder why they make it free to linux and charge win peeps [19:25] but it's still great you ended up working there [19:26] * nlsthzn can't spell [19:26] hmm [19:26] you spelled it correctly the first time as well [19:27] my spelling is so bad I don't even know when I spell them correctly :p [19:27] hahaha [19:27] 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 [19:29] go to japan [19:30] and bring back wasabia plants or seads or whatever [19:30] seeds [19:30] for how long can you still stay there? [19:33] i go crash now. night all. sleep tight [19:33] good night Kilos [19:36] yikes! [19:37] people talking about a tremor in pretoria/JHB [19:37] pretoria and JHB [19:48] that's not good [19:49] psychicist: no time limit... as long as I can work I can stay [19:50] nlsthzn, but as soon as you stop working you must leave? [20:04] yup [20:41] I see [20:41] so you can never really settle there, I guess [20:51] nope... if you are able to afford enough (and expensive enough) residents you can in theory stay indefinitely... but you need lots of money
