jabberwocky93morning Kilos, nice speeds :)05:52
Kiloshi jabberwocky93 yeah it flies05:53
jabberwocky93my 3g router was failing badly yesterday05:53
Kilosthe router or the nety05:53
Kilosnet05:53
jabberwocky93the signal, I can't complain about the router when I'm closer to a base station05:54
jabberwocky93at my friend's apartment I usually get over 1mB/s05:55
Kilosoh the 3g is built in?05:58
jabberwocky93the cellular providers are really battling it out on mybroadband.co.za heh05:59
Kilosi must experiment with something like that05:59
Kilosyeah 05:59
jabberwocky93yeah it's one of those small huawei 3g to wifi routers06:00
Kiloswith a 3g modem you can boost your signal just by holding a stainless dish behind it 06:01
Kilosmight work with a router too if you get a big enough dish06:01
jabberwocky93yeah I hang my router over the burglar bars, seems to work the best :P06:02
Kilosyou just point the hollow end of the dish towards the sp tower06:02
Kilosthe dish forces all the signal to go and come from the tower06:03
Kilossimilar theory to a dstv dish06:03
jabberwocky93I would love to simulate the radition pattern of my burglar bars setup06:03
jabberwocky93at one stage I tried using the side pannel of my pc, but it didn't pan out06:04
Kilosif you put the router on the outside of the bars and tie the dish on the inside you should see an improvement06:04
Kilosonly the tower must be in that direction06:05
jabberwocky93I think that's the problem, I must be in the middle of 3 base stations or something to that effect06:08
jabberwocky93it's really bad even for normal calls, sometimes people phone me and they are sent straight to voice mail06:09
Kilosai!06:09
Kilosget an external antenna for the router06:10
Kilosyagi then you can point it to the tower you prefer using06:10
Kilosjust remember all metal between you and the tower break the signal down06:11
Private_Usermorning people06:13
Kiloshi Private_User 06:13
Private_Userhey Kilos06:15
Kilosubuntu has another great tool i see for getting bad info off damaged cds/dvds06:17
Kilossafecopy06:17
jabberwocky93yeah external antenna with a short coaxial cable seems to be the way to go06:21
inetprogood mornings06:43
Private_Usermorning inetpro06:50
Kilosmorning inetpro another 12mm last night06:52
inetproKilos: hi... we got 18mm06:53
Kilosgood all underground water si filling up nicely06:54
nlsthzn*yawn*07:14
Private_UserKilos: that would be great if it were happening everywhere, problem is most people have either paved or tarred majority of their yard and together with the the tar roads alot of this water has no where to go07:17
Kilosyeah but that fills dams and rivers07:18
Private_Usergreat for the farm areas though07:18
Private_Userwell yeah I guess but if you look at the news roads are being flooded because people are covering everything up07:18
Kilosyip been a run of bad bad years for farmers07:19
Private_Userand I think mainly because they are lazy to cut the grass hehe07:19
Kiloshaha dont say that man even the weeds here are 6ft07:21
Private_Userlol07:21
