I wouldn't exactly call competent [12:49] my 3g seems more stable since setting up minicom [12:49] (I am able to access teacher files, due to incorrectly set permissions) [12:49] nice [12:49] or cutecom , i forget which one now [12:50] dont be naughty [12:50] Yeah, don't DO anything with it lol [12:50] Was just looking around [12:50] hehe [12:53] but you are lucky dude, we never even had a proper computer lab at school [12:54] Private_User, yeah. Computers pretty decent, 2GB RAM, 2.1 GHz dual core P4 [12:55] and we still had those old x86 machines, you know the one with 2 floppy drives [12:55] one for booting the other to run software [12:55] lol [12:55] 486 [12:55] remember those Kilos [12:56] thats what i started here with [12:56] ah, nice, depending on when it was [12:56] which year Private_User ?

[13:05] lol [13:05] i have a 386 and a 486 that were working when they went to the storeroom [13:07] Private_User, only 486 or better will work [13:07] Kilos, linux on your 486 maybe? [13:08] i ran dos on them [13:08] and win 95 on the 486 [13:09] but they got me thinking again [13:09] Kilos, install gentoo on the 486 ;) Or ubuntu server / debian [13:14] i got a p3 i will use for a server one day [13:15] Kilos, will be a killer on the power... [13:15] hopefully [13:15] A Pi will probably be faster + less power [13:16] oh you mean electricity [13:16] Kilos, yeah.. [13:16] lol [13:17] no money for toys man, just spent 2 years savings to but a lga1155 mobo cpu ram and psu [13:17] now to start saving again for better cpu [13:17] Kilos, ah, that sucks.. Can you sell components? [13:18] what components [13:18] eg. RAM [13:18] some places might need the old ram, etc. [13:18] for what pc [13:18] the P3 [13:19] i took that sdr ram for my p4 [13:19] Old components are rare, and SOMEONE will have something important which only runs on old pc [13:19] ah [13:20] my p4 is an early version that uses the sdr ram so moved it from p3 to p4 [13:20] now boet in law playing games on it [13:21] ram is always expensive hey? i paid big bucks for that old ram [13:21] just got 4g ddr3 for about the same as i paid for 640m sdr [13:22] Kilos, got 16Gb for under R700 [13:22] wow [13:23] i just paid 450 about for 4g [13:23] Yeah, I got 2nd hand some of it [13:23] friends were rebuilding PC's [13:24] ah [13:26] Used to run up to 14 VM's on it :) [13:26] wow [13:28] hi hekkwan [13:32] howdy [13:38] Greetings [13:38] You guys know of any Web Devs in Gauteng? [13:39] hi Xethron [13:39] ask tonight when there are more peeps here [13:39] and even ask on the mailing list [13:40] Xethron, what do you need done? [13:40] lots of jhb peeps dont come here but use the lists [13:40] I have a job opening for one [13:40] Xethron, ah [13:41] Looking for someone who knows PHP, MySQL, MVC, JS, jQuery, and all the rest [13:41] theblazehen: you interested? [13:42] Hehe, I just know enough of the 1st 2 to get by [13:42] haha [13:42] Besides still in HS, so can't get a job [13:42] Only freelance at best [13:42] HS? [13:42] High School [13:42] ah [13:42] I see [13:43] You want to study Programming? [13:43] Xethron, more heading in the sysadmin direction [13:43] bleh [13:43] one of those [13:43] hehe, why? [13:43] :P [13:43] Just curious [13:44] Meant why the "bleh" [13:44] If you ever need help with PHP or something, gimme a shout [13:44] Sure, thanks [13:44] Sysadmins are... Sysadmins... [13:45] Xethron, lol || Pretty decent with PHP +| MySQL, just can't do frontend stuff [13:45] Used MVC before? [13:46] Xethron, nope.. [13:46] Download Laravel ( www.laravel.com ) and make sure it becomes your best friend [13:46] kk, ty [13:46] Its a MVC PHP Framework... [13:47] Which drastically increases productivity [13:47] ty [13:47] :) [13:47] Xethron, have you joined our mailing list [13:47] tl;dr MVC vs vanilla PHP? [13:47] Doubt it Kilos [13:49] theblazehen: Model, Views, Controller. Models are objects from your database (like a user model), views are the stuff that make your site pretty, and Controllers is the place you put all your code [13:49] Xethron, ah, ty [13:49] Its a way to seperate your code so that it becomes more managable... [13:50] Hmm, would you use it for small projects as well? [13:50] Talking less than 200 lines with everything [13:51] http://i.imgur.com/ocWDwcU.jpg ... :/ [13:52] lol [13:53] theblazehen: well, if its a "project", yes, I would do it in Laravel. Laravel is very easy to setup and start using [13:54] But 200 lines sounds like halve of one of my classes :P [13:54] hehe, kk [13:55] Are you aware of bitcoin? [13:55] yeah [13:55] who isn't [13:55] Well I'm quite involved with an "altcoin", and wrote the faucet script [13:57] ah, ok [13:58] Well, if its something that will later expand, and won't only stay at 200 lines, yeah, try it in Laravel instead... Then it will be easy to make changes later [14:03] Soooo, this went slightly off topic :P [14:04] hehe [14:04] Hi everyone [14:04] hi Golynx [14:04] Xethron, kk, ty [14:04] job in jhb if you interested [14:05] Xethron, looking for a web dev [14:05] Golynx, hi. Lol, read logs, trender was a dick yesterday... [14:05] Anyone know of a code editor that has a tag closing highlight feature ? [14:05] Golynx, vim? [14:05] Golynx: what you mean? [14:06] I cant find any Code editor in ubuntu that does that [14:06] Golynx, sublime text? [14:06] Pretty sure my vim does it, and ST did it if I understood you right [14:06] Xethron, thats what Golynx does [14:06] but he is far away [14:07] Hey theblazehen, yeah he was. He got all cry baby in my pm's after we had a fight lol [14:07] I hav'nt tried Vim yet [14:07] Golynx, vim is awesome [14:07] high learning curve however [14:07] lol [14:08] Just gedit, geany, sublime , and such [14:08] Golynx, if you get vim, get this too: https://github.com/spf13/spf13-vim [14:08] Is Vim not just a command line interface ? [14:08] jup [14:08] Golynx, yeah [14:08] unless you get gvim [14:08] so you have to learn all the shortcuts [14:09] theblazehen: no point in getting gvim [14:09] Hmm, i want a GUI editor though , i click alot lol [14:09] if you get gvim, use sublime [14:09] Xethron, yeah, agreed [14:09] Golynx: I'm not sure what it is you need? [14:09] Golynx: highlight unclosed tags? [14:09] Xethron, has a menu though, for beginners [14:10] I want a code editor similar to notepad++ in windows , but i cant use wine in ubuntu, not enough ram [14:10] Yes Xethron [14:10] Golynx: use Sublime [14:10] What do you do? [14:11] The only feature missing from the editors i tried is the , tag close highlighter [14:11] Xethron, Golynx just switched to ubuntu from win 2 weeks ago [14:11] Sublime works great for most programming editors [14:11] Web development [14:11] Golynx: Sublime is filled with Plugins [14:12] I'm not sure what you mean by tag close highlighter though? [14:12] Need to easilly see my closing tags in html and js [14:12] umm [14:12] So, if you select the opening tag, eg, , you want it to highlight the tag? [14:13] I know but i cant find a plugin Xethron. People say to compile one myself lol [14:13] Yes perfect Xethron [14:13] oh, mine does that [14:13] umm [14:13] lemme get the plugin name for you [14:13] ok cool [14:14] Golynx: I have too many plugins :P [14:14] but I think its BracketHighlighter [14:16] Ok thanks Xethron i will try that one :) [14:17] Golynx: once you learn vim you'll never want another editor [14:20] I will try that inetpro thanks. But dunno if i need a command line editor for gui apps though [14:21] inetpro, ++ [14:21] inetpro: He recently switched to Ubuntu... Give him a year or two on Linux before pushing him to vim :P [14:21] inetpro, Just discovered the beauty of vim a week or so ago [14:24] When I only transfer 3 GB of data in 3 hours... [14:25] haha yeah, i'm still a baby in linux :D [14:26] Golynx, why not try archlinux.org? It's what I use.. /s [14:29] theblazehen can i use archlinux as a desktop environment ontop of unity [14:30] Golynx, arch is a completely different linux distro. You can install unity inside of arch, however you only start with a terminal [14:30] But in all seriousness if you REALLY wanna learn, try and get it installed in a VM [14:31] Learnt more in a day with arch than a month with Ubuntu [14:32] theblazehen, dont mess with him now man [14:32] he has xubuntu workin [14:32] Kilos, ok... lol :) [14:32] arch is too involved to star off wioth [14:32] with [14:32] yeah [14:32] start [14:32] whew [14:32] 528MB for the arch iso hmm :/ [14:33] Golynx, yep, but it's x86_64 + x86 [14:33] Got my arch based thin client installed in less than 1 GB of space [14:34] But internet caps suck, I agree.. [14:34] theblazehen ty , but i think i will stick with xfce-desktop for now , until i got a few pc's to mess around with :) [14:34] Golynx, yeah, stick with that untill you know a little more :) [14:36] * Golynx is getting sucked in by the all powerful linux world lol [14:37] Golynx, good man :) [14:46] wbb, gotta pinch a drive outa here [14:50] you can't install arch in a vm, it doesn't have any of the right drivers and it's completely useless. [14:50] there are better things to do with life than install arch [14:56] hahahaha ! [14:56] this is hilarious [15:16] wb Kilos [15:16] ty charl [15:16] hey charl [15:16] hi Golynx [15:16] Wb Kilos [15:17] ty [15:18] how's it going with you all [15:18] charl, you clever and got good internet [15:18] lol [15:19] what do you need?

[15:22] the pins on the motherboard ... [15:22] i hate these mod mobos that you push on button and mobo turns psu on [15:22] Ah good charl [15:22] yes please [15:23] oh mobo = motherboard [15:23] i'm already putting the puzzle together :) [15:23] i found a row of 9 bins in bouble row but dunno which is which and what they for [15:23] ya [15:24] shorter to type man [15:24] m/b [15:24] is that better [15:24] ok i found it [15:24] i dunno what the correct abreviation is [15:24] nah m/b looks like megabyte [15:25] i never know it :) [15:25] can you see the pins and what to connect to them [15:25] How about "momb" lol [15:25] i tried to find the user manual but just wasted data [15:25] whow i hate trying to copy and paste out of a pdf document [15:26] give me the link if you see it [15:26] i dont mind going straight to a link [15:26] lol charl, is that possible [15:26] its the page after [age 100 times that wastes data [15:27] i'll paste the part for you in a PM [15:27] I have to convert the pdf to txt or html before i can copy anything [15:28] Kilos: here's the pdf: http://eudownload.ecs.com.tw/dlfileecs/manual/mb/eng/p4/P45T_AV1/P45T-A_v2.pdf [15:28] there is an illustration on page 30 [15:28] under the text "front panel header" [15:28] ty charl [15:28] np [15:30] charl, is there a way to download that manual [15:31] you should be able to fetch it straight with wget [15:31] yeah it works [15:31] wonderful ty will try that [15:31] it's 1,9MB [15:31] thats fine ty [15:31] np [15:32] its using 15 or 20 and getting nowhere thats frustrating [15:33] wget rocks hey [15:33] yeah [15:33] i always use it when downloading large files [15:33] firefox and the others suck at it and they are too slow [15:33] yeah [15:33] and then they cut off the download mid way and you have to use wget in any case [15:33] i use wget especially for isos [15:34] yeah with -c [15:34] i can download files at close to 1gbps with wget without taxing the system [15:34] wow [15:34] yes i just enable -c as standard because if the download breaks off you never have worries, it restarts with the same filename [15:35] i havent done it that way yet [15:36] always wait to crash first [15:37] There are lots of gui apps that you can set to auto resume download though. [15:37] not as fast as wget [15:37] i don't want gui apps, i try and do everything at the command line [15:37] they need download managers and things [15:38] the only two non-terminal applications i use are a web browser and vlc [15:38] and on the occasion the gimp [15:38] Oh ya linux peeps cant divorce their terminals lol [15:39] lol [15:39] youll get there and see the advantages at times [15:39] I do everything in Opera browser, but for files bigger than 50MB i will use wget with -c [15:41] brb [15:43] hi jhb_hacker [15:44] hey jhb_hacker [15:44] hi guys [16:09] hi jhb_hacker [16:09] charl: how you? [16:10] i'm great thanks yourself [16:10] not bad; [16:11] wb somaunn [16:11] hi charl [16:11] hi Kilos [16:11] Hey somaunn [16:12] hi Golynx [16:15] hi somaunn sorery i was asleep [16:15] dont forget tuesday night meeting hey guys [16:15] 8.30 pm right here [16:20] wb jhb_hacker [16:25] sorry, storm killed the power [16:26] Kilos: no problem [16:27] i got my calendar [16:27] update [16:27] updated [16:27] cool [16:29] From the looks of it broadband internet for all may be 20 years away [16:29] what is defined as broadband internet [16:29] eish [16:30] that definition is constantly changing [16:30] in 20 years time the definition will be radically different than what it is today [16:30] Too much corruption in SA though, causes alot of backlogs in construction [16:31] Well a good broadband speed will be able to download 1MB in less than 1 sec. For mobile networks ofcourse [16:33] But ya , thats for Tuesday's discussion :) [16:33] lol [16:33] wont happen [16:33] What wont happen [16:33] 1MBps = 8mbps + protocol overhead [16:34] so you are lookiong at 10mbps min [16:34] that is very achievable with today's broadband technology [16:34] best ive got is 560kB/s [16:34] 1m is asking for to much [16:35] hsdpa can do it [16:35] in za? [16:36] i have hsdpa and the utmc or something [16:36] Hmm, if photons can achieve a speed 1000 times more than that then its possible in wireless internet [16:36] normal spedd here is around 300 kB/s [16:36] HSDPA comprises various versions with different data speeds. In 2009 the most common devices are category 6 (3.6 Mbit/s) and category 8 (7.2 Mbit/s) with retail prices around 60 euros without subscription. [16:36] from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access#User_Equipment_.28UE.29_categories [16:37] but in the table below the speeds go up to 337.5mbps [16:37] there is also this note: The maximum data rates given in the table are physical layer data rates. Application layer data rate is approximately 85% of that, due to the inclusion of IP headers (overhead information) etc. [16:37] note now we are talking about hsdpa, we're not even talking 4g yet [16:38] charl: I would say 80% if you are lucky [16:39] you can write off about 20% for IP headers and overhead [16:40] if you are downloading a lot of data, afaik ipv6 would reduce that with larger packet sizes [16:40] (i speak under correction) [16:50] charl, the connections are maybe capable of that speed but the isp's limit one [16:50] my modem shows offline now [16:50] hmm> [16:50] ... [16:51] red light on a zte means what [16:52] Is'nt it supposed to flash green when offline [16:53] or are all modem lights different [16:53] yay green flashing again [16:54] lol cool :) [16:54] * Golynx sensed a glitch in the matrix [16:54] solid green is offline but sees the connection [16:55] slow flash is connected [16:55] Mine is the other way round [16:55] lol [16:55] Kilos: yeah they always do that i think [16:56] since i set it up in minicom its very stable [17:00] who knows what pins on a 24 pin power cable switch on the psu [17:05] hey Golynx im lost [17:06] didnt have probs before but ive forgotten how to make opera open in new tabs [17:06] this forward back thing is driving me nuts [17:07] You mean save last session Kilos [17:08] if you open 5 links from here i get one tab open there [17:08] opens everything in a new tab on other drive [17:09] i dunno what i mean, or i woulda sorted it [17:09] What you mean by other drive ?

[18:56] you burn to cd and boot from it and it will boot into the os [18:56] thanks inetpro [18:56] thanks Kilos [18:56] it can fix grub probs too at times [18:56] was trying but struggle to get it working (am a copy paste from how to's kind of guy, and haven't found a comprehensive how to yet... [18:56] but boot-repair normally sorts probs [18:57] Kilos: I have booted into ubuntu couple times and used gparted but no luck... when i break things, i do it properly... lol [18:57] lol [18:57] oh you played in gparted [18:58] and chose option on the left [18:58] hehe [18:58] lol [18:58] dont use that ever unless the drive is empty [18:58] strange thing is after trying suss some time back, my bios picks up opens use and ubuntu as options -- even though the entire hdd has been formatted a couple times [18:58] my drive is empty now... lol [18:58] in gparted only use the partition option [19:01] will remember that... ;) [19:01] what did you have on it that you dont wanna lose [19:01] i don't have anything. did a full format [19:01] everything is backed up [19:01] ah [19:01] was trying pc-bsd [19:01] so what is boot-repair gonna help [19:02] and antegros... but didn't succeed [19:02] not sure [19:02] i installed ubuntu [19:02] and everything worked except grub [19:02] so thought boot-repair would do the final trickl [19:02] it wont do anything on a formatted drive [19:02] boot from cd or stick and do a clean install [19:02] I have tried that [19:03] even using the auto partition [19:03] oh you have ubuntu installed [19:03] grub just fails to install [19:03] sounds like sick mbr [19:03] or drive not happy [19:03] yip. tried creating mbr in gparted... no success.
