Kilos | inetpro, ping | 07:34 |
charl | i'm in a good mood this morning | 07:46 |

charl | i could hardly get up this morning | 07:46 |
Kilos | lol | 07:50 |
Kilos | hi Vince-0 | 07:50 |
Vince-0 | o/ Oom Kilos | 07:54 |
Kilos | when you gonna add something interesting to the agenda Vince-0 | 08:00 |
Vince-0 | ha! I've been so busy here trying to start a company | 08:03 |
Kilos | aha | 08:03 |
Kilos | yours? | 08:03 |
Vince-0 | hopefully | 08:04 |
Kilos | good | 08:04 |
Vince-0 | ;-) I think kbmonkey won't make it to chair this eve | 08:05 |
Vince-0 | I haven't been keeping up with the Canonical news, | 08:06 |
Kilos | ya he told me, is he ok | 08:06 |
Kilos | he didnt answer when i asked is he ok | 08:06 |
Vince-0 | probably busy with work too | 08:06 |
Vince-0 | I'm sure I can dig up some news feed items about Ubuntu | 08:08 |
Vince-0 | I remember there being a desktop environment productivity study somewhere | 08:08 |
Kilos | also we need to find out what we can do to improve our connectivity in za | 08:09 |
Kilos | like to to email and rev | 08:09 |
Kilos | Maaz, google south african minister of communication | 08:10 |
Maaz | Kilos: "Department Of Communications" http://www.doc.gov.za/ :: "Minister of Communications (South Africa) - Wikipedia, the free ..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minister_of_Communications_(South_Africa) :: "Department of Telecommunications and Postal Services - Wikipedia ..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_of_Telecommunications_and_Postal_Services :: | 08:10 |
Maaz | "Blog: South Africa's new communications ministry causes concern" http://cpj.org/blog/2014/0… | 08:10 |
Vince-0 | ha | 08:10 |
Kilos | i dunno what one would call that minister | 08:10 |
Vince-0 | cape town's pushing big fibre projects | 08:11 |
Kilos | ive found that if one complains to the top they get great pleasure in revving everyone beneath them | 08:11 |
Kilos | yes fibre is the answer, but they need to wake up peeps like voda with their adds of how wonderful they are | 08:12 |
Kilos | take bushtech for example, he gets utms from them but yoyos all the time, they have no excuse for that | 08:13 |
Vince-0 | Here's the untiy productivity article | 08:14 |
Vince-0 | http://news.softpedia.com/news/Believe-It-or-Not-Unity-Is-the-King-of-Productivity-450919.shtml | 08:14 |
Kilos | connectivity wise i cant complain, because im online nearly all the time | 08:14 |
ThatGraemeGuy | heh | 08:19 |
ThatGraemeGuy | you want the ZA ubuntu loco to shout at govt to improve connectivity? | 08:19 |
=== SubOracle[away] is now known as SubOracle | ||
Kilos | not as a loco but as individuals | 08:20 |
Kilos | the peeps at the top just sit and enjoy their incomes and perks, so, if no one informs them of what probs there are they just park off | 08:21 |
inetpro | Kilos: pong | 08:22 |
inetpro | oh and hi | 08:23 |
Kilos | like pta govt section, i used to have power cuts almost daily everytime the wind blew or it rained and complaining didnt help | 08:23 |
Kilos | i then got hold of the mayor and within 2 weeks all trees near lines were trimmed or removed and since then power has been quite stable | 08:24 |
Kilos | ohi inetpro are you ok? | 08:24 |
Kilos | meeting tonight | 08:24 |
nuvolari | what meeting? | 08:24 |
nuvolari | o.O | 08:24 |
Kilos | ai! | 08:24 |
ThatGraemeGuy | Kilos: govt is forever making noise about improving connectivity | 08:25 |
ThatGraemeGuy | as with many things, awareness isn't the issue, lack of action is | 08:25 |
Kilos | yes ThatGraemeGuy that is | 08:25 |
Kilos | um | 08:25 |
Kilos | er | 08:25 |
Kilos | just political talk to get votes | 08:25 |
Kilos | when contacted at the top they actually do things | 08:26 |
Kilos | all the speaches you here are written and read and not absorbed, one needs to actually make them act on complaints or issues | 08:27 |
Kilos | read speeches go above or through minds | 08:28 |
nuvolari | but guys/ladies, remember, the previous regime kept the interwebs away from us before 1994! :P | 08:29 |
Kilos | 20 years ago | 08:29 |
nuvolari | ok, sorry, we're not supposed to discuss politics IIRC | 08:29 |
nuvolari | :P | 08:29 |
Kilos | we as net users must do something to improve the net for us and future users | 08:30 |
Kilos | as they say if you dont buy a ticket you cant win the prize | 08:30 |
nuvolari | oom Kilos, it only went mainstream globally in 1994 | 08:31 |
nuvolari | IIRC :P | 08:31 |
Kilos | just lurking and complaining will never have any results | 08:31 |
Kilos | nuvolari, im mainly thinking of poor stability atm | 08:32 |
Kilos | youve all had it when trying to attend a meet or something | 08:32 |
Kilos | if someone can point me to the correct peeps to contact ill do the mailing | 08:33 |
=== SubOracle is now known as SubOracle[away] | ||
Kilos | ThatGraemeGuy, i got my mv setup working , is it weaker than the lv setup? or did i do something wrong | 09:16 |
Kilos | oh and what are solar panels for | 09:16 |
Kilos | i have made some but they dont connect like the things with a cross inside | 09:17 |
Kilos | haha were there no comments or opinions to that link that unity is king | 09:21 |
Kilos | hehe | 09:21 |
Kilos | http://news.softpedia.com/news/Believe-It-or-Not-Unity-Is-the-King-of-Productivity-450919.shtml | 09:21 |
Kilos | i think im the only one here using it still | 09:21 |
charl | i don't think it's that bad actually | 09:23 |
charl | ubuntu one is closing down / | 09:24 |
charl | ? | 09:24 |
nuvolari | charl: eh? you didn't get the annoying notifications? :P | 09:25 |
Kilos | i read why somewhere, but as in my case maybe it wasnt utilised as it could be | 09:25 |
charl | nuvolari: no somebody else i know just forwarded me a mail | 09:25 |
charl | i never use ubuntu one | 09:25 |
charl | cloud storage in general | 09:26 |
charl | at work we have a owncloud based thing now | 09:26 |
Kilos | it worked quite fine to share things | 09:26 |
charl | but i'll keep it to that | 09:26 |
charl | i'm interested to know why they decided to cancel their service now | 09:26 |
charl | considering that those types of tools are all the rage at the moment | 09:26 |
charl | maybe not profitable enough ? | 09:27 |
Kilos | it was in the earlier emails i think charl that they gave the reason why | 09:27 |
charl | ah ok never got them | 09:27 |
Kilos | http://askubuntu.com/questions/444930/why-is-ubuntu-one-going-to-be-shut-down | 09:28 |
ThatGraemeGuy | Kilos: solar panel produces power | 09:31 |
ThatGraemeGuy | the "thing with the cross" is a solar array, it also makes power, but more than a panel | 09:31 |
Kilos | you connect them with same cables ThatGraemeGuy ? | 09:31 |
ThatGraemeGuy | MV stuff uses MV cables | 09:31 |
ThatGraemeGuy | LV stuff LV cables | 09:31 |
ThatGraemeGuy | guess what you use for HV stuff? :P | 09:32 |
ThatGraemeGuy | LV/MV/HV is low/medium/high voltage | 09:32 |
Kilos | oh i didnt notice if they were mv or lv | 09:32 |
ThatGraemeGuy | lv is white cables | 09:32 |
ThatGraemeGuy | mv cables are black | 09:32 |
Kilos | ya i got that far | 09:32 |
charl | http://blog.canonical.com/2014/04/02/shutting-down-ubuntu-one-file-services/ | 09:32 |
ThatGraemeGuy | hv cables are black and yellow stripes | 09:32 |
Kilos | do your mv arrays also supply less power than the lv ones with same number of them cross things | 09:34 |
Kilos | hehe | 09:34 |
Kilos | i get 2500 from 5 lv ones and 1500 from same number mv ones | 09:35 |
Kilos | but they are on the opposit side of the roof | 09:36 |
Kilos | opposite | 09:36 |
Kilos | that thing | 09:37 |
ThatGraemeGuy | same height | 09:37 |
ThatGraemeGuy | ? | 09:37 |
Kilos | yip | 09:37 |
ThatGraemeGuy | weird | 09:37 |
Kilos | ill check again tonight | 09:37 |
ThatGraemeGuy | wait | 09:37 |
ThatGraemeGuy | are they MV panels or MV arrays? | 09:37 |
Kilos | arrays for both | 09:37 |
ThatGraemeGuy | you have LV arrays if i recall correctly | 09:37 |
ThatGraemeGuy | oh | 09:37 |
ThatGraemeGuy | weird | 09:37 |
ThatGraemeGuy | mine are HV, so i can't compare | 09:38 |
Kilos | was major work making mv arrays | 09:38 |
ThatGraemeGuy | yea its a lot of effort | 09:38 |
ThatGraemeGuy | the idea is to make you work for the more useful stuff | 09:38 |
Kilos | lol | 09:38 |
ThatGraemeGuy | wait until you build a mining laser ;) | 09:38 |
ThatGraemeGuy | a mk3 one is a huge amount of resources | 09:39 |
Kilos | i found a rank3 chest in new server too | 09:39 |
Kilos | got to bronze tools haha | 09:39 |
Kilos | and i found lava | 09:39 |
ThatGraemeGuy | you digging down? | 09:39 |
ThatGraemeGuy | don't get too comfortable there ;) | 09:39 |
Kilos | wen into a cave then kept going down | 09:40 |
Kilos | went | 09:40 |
Kilos | just put lights and kept going | 09:40 |
Kilos | nope was just looking what ores there are, no mese yet | 09:41 |
Kilos | but lots of new stuffs | 09:41 |
ThatGraemeGuy | mese only starts arouns -128 isn't it? | 09:42 |
Kilos | i dunno | 09:43 |
Kilos | but it works kiff just empty of bulidings | 09:44 |
Kilos | buildings and roads | 09:44 |
Kilos | hehe | 09:44 |
Kilos | the main one is very lekker with everything in | 09:45 |
Kilos | when we all got lazer guns you can turn on the monsters | 09:46 |
ThatGraemeGuy | lol | 09:46 |
ThatGraemeGuy | lasers are for mining | 09:46 |
ThatGraemeGuy | killing monsters is work for swords | 09:46 |
Kilos | dont they kill peeps too? | 09:46 |
ThatGraemeGuy | lasers? don't know | 09:46 |
Kilos | im sure they will | 09:46 |
ThatGraemeGuy | its a mining laser, don't know if the mod was written to damage players | 09:47 |
Kilos | and everything behind the monster too haha | 09:47 |
Kilos | picks kill peeps | 09:47 |
Kilos | that lazer is an impressive tool | 09:48 |
ThatGraemeGuy | picks damage players because that's how the code was written | 09:48 |
Kilos | aha | 09:52 |
Kilos | the only code i know is ...---... | 09:53 |
Kilos | .... --- .-- -.. --- -.-- --- ..- -.. --- ..--.. | 09:54 |
Kilos | hehe maaz makes it so easy | 09:54 |
Squirm | got my new PC last night | 10:38 |
Kilos | cool | 10:47 |
Kilos | you happy? | 10:47 |
Kilos | ai! some peeps | 11:01 |
Kilos | come help yourself to pecan nuts but dont use the gate, rather cut the fence | 11:02 |
=== SubOracle[away] is now known as SubOracle | ||
ThatGraemeGuy | Kilos: where did you dig on the new map? | 11:21 |
Kilos | ThatGraemeGuy, i didnt dig i went into a cave | 11:29 |
Kilos | are you there now? | 11:30 |
Kilos | ill pop in so you can find me | 11:30 |
Kilos | sorry i took so long, was having lunch | 11:31 |
charl | good afternoon folks | 11:54 |
charl | busy busy today whow | 11:54 |
charl | does Maaz do esperesso ? i need a double one i think | 11:55 |
charl | doppio | 11:55 |
Kilos | lol | 11:55 |
Kilos | he makes boeretroos | 11:56 |
charl | as long as it's freshly ground biological coffee | 11:56 |
Kilos | always fresh , written in python | 11:57 |
ThatGraemeGuy | Kilos: http://mt.donaldson.za.net/new.png | 11:59 |
ThatGraemeGuy | i'm going to delete that map | 12:00 |
ThatGraemeGuy | stopped the server so long | 12:00 |
ThatGraemeGuy | the orange in the forest is fire, by the way | 12:00 |
Kilos | ok | 12:13 |
Kilos | wow ThatGraemeGuy big one hey | 12:14 |
ThatGraemeGuy | yes | 12:14 |
Kilos | did you see if that thing was a dungeon | 12:14 |
ThatGraemeGuy | when i was underground i picked up some lava into a lava can | 12:14 |
Kilos | haha naughty | 12:14 |
ThatGraemeGuy | and then i was cutting trees and i guess i accidentally mousewheeled or something, because instead of cutting a tree i put down a lava block :( | 12:14 |
Kilos | uh oh | 12:15 |
ThatGraemeGuy | i'm looking into how rollback works | 12:15 |
Kilos | you rush too much | 12:15 |
ThatGraemeGuy | there is apparently a rollback function so you can undo something | 12:15 |
ThatGraemeGuy | not sure though | 12:15 |
Kilos | its not serious | 12:15 |
Kilos | we havent done anything there really | 12:15 |
ThatGraemeGuy | you remember waaay back when you were playing with lava and pouring it from high into a lake? | 12:18 |
ThatGraemeGuy | this is why i warned you to be careful ;-) | 12:18 |
ThatGraemeGuy | although in this case i was in a jungle, which is pretty much the worst place to drop lava | 12:18 |
ThatGraemeGuy | jungle grass and trees grow very close together :-/ | 12:19 |
Kilos | lol we made that lake mooi man | 12:19 |
Kilos | ive built some walls around so it can be filled again even higher | 12:20 |
Kilos | then we can make layered places | 12:21 |
Kilos | did you see the glass house the fly built under that lake | 12:21 |
ThatGraemeGuy | no | 12:22 |
ThatGraemeGuy | remind me tonight, will check it out | 12:22 |
Kilos | i drowned a coupla times just trying to get to the entrance | 12:22 |
Kilos | ok | 12:22 |
Kilos | we can call it atlantis | 12:22 |
Kilos | and start a colony of mermaid peeps that work outside | 12:24 |
Kilos | hehe | 12:24 |
Kilos | we havent had one female visitor yet | 12:24 |
Kilos | sjoe | 12:24 |
* Kilos goes to kde. wbb | 12:27 | |
Kilos | hmm... | 12:30 |
Kilos | my unity is corrupt somewhere | 12:30 |
Kilos | Maaz hi | 12:31 |
Maaz | Howzit Kilos | 12:31 |
ThatGraemeGuy | Kilos: http://mt.donaldson.za.net/new.png | 12:32 |
ThatGraemeGuy | water didn't help | 12:32 |
ThatGraemeGuy | if you stand still it seems that fire only spreads a certain distance | 12:32 |
ThatGraemeGuy | except some fire still exists at the edge of that distance | 12:32 |
Kilos | ah | 12:32 |
ThatGraemeGuy | and as soon as you move closer more stuff starts burning | 12:33 |
Kilos | like everything else it needs new source to carry on | 12:33 |
ThatGraemeGuy | you see that square, i was standing at the centre of it, so it only burned until that distance | 12:33 |
ThatGraemeGuy | didn't spread, but i could still see fire at the edges of the square | 12:33 |
Kilos | weird | 12:33 |
ThatGraemeGuy | and as soon as i moved closer it started spreading again | 12:33 |
Kilos | dont peeps get burned | 12:34 |
ThatGraemeGuy | yes | 12:34 |
ThatGraemeGuy | if you stand right in it | 12:34 |
Kilos | eish more system updates available | 12:34 |
Kilos | i know lava really cooks you, i have the pile of bones to prove it | 12:37 |
magespawn | good afternoon all | 13:33 |
charl | hi magespawn :) | 13:38 |
magespawn | hey charl | 13:38 |
nuvolari | ai keeel you! slf4j is a pile of nonsense | 13:54 |
nuvolari | anyone around that knows how to tame it? | 13:54 |
charl | nuvolari: have you tried log4j | 13:57 |
charl | logging in java is a mess in any case | 13:57 |
magespawn | anyone know for sure what frequencies are unlicensed in south africa? | 14:03 |
nuvolari | charl: it's a 3rd party lib using it | 14:04 |
nuvolari | charl: I might be missing the point of all the logging frameworks, but we've been quite happy with JUL | 14:05 |
nuvolari | but yeah, agreed, logging is a PITA | 14:05 |
charl | a pita? looking it up | 14:08 |
charl | oh, now i see :) thought it sounded a bit like spanish puta | 14:09 |
nuvolari | lol | 14:12 |
ThatGraemeGuy | magespawn: you mean spectrum available for licensing or bands that may be used without licence? | 14:13 |
ThatGraemeGuy | either way, icasa likely has the information | 14:14 |
ThatGraemeGuy | whether its easily understood is a different question | 14:15 |
magespawn | ThatGraemeGuy, that is the problem, i am looking at the bands that can be used without a licence | 14:17 |
ThatGraemeGuy | what are you doing? | 14:18 |
magespawn | i understood that 2.4Ghz and 5.2Ghz where un-licensed | 14:18 |
ThatGraemeGuy | offhand i know of 2.4GHz and 5GHz | 14:18 |
magespawn | looking into wug and other wan network ideas | 14:18 |
ThatGraemeGuy | yeah that's where 802.11 stuff goes | 14:18 |
ThatGraemeGuy | ah | 14:19 |
ThatGraemeGuy | yeah thats what they use | 14:19 |
ThatGraemeGuy | http://www.scoopdistribution.co.za/index.php/antennas-24ghz-c-38?osCsid=a5bsan37h22l07fecfv2i8d1g2 and http://www.scoopdistribution.co.za/index.php/antennas-5ghz-c-37?osCsid=a5bsan37h22l07fecfv2i8d1g2 | 14:19 |
ThatGraemeGuy | with WUG its best to get in touch with your local guys, they are typically quite helpful | 14:19 |
ThatGraemeGuy | well the CTWUG guys are at least | 14:19 |
magespawn | also i think that if it goes out your property you still have to apply to icasa for licence exemption | 14:20 |
ThatGraemeGuy | which equipment you need is dependant on what's already in place near you | 14:20 |
ThatGraemeGuy | not sure | 14:20 |
magespawn | that is what i understand from icasa | 14:21 |
ThatGraemeGuy | but contact your WUG people, they will likely know all the answers already. no need to get lost alone, rely on the community | 14:21 |
magespawn | i think the durban one will be the closest | 14:22 |
ThatGraemeGuy | where are you? | 14:22 |
magespawn | Empangeni currently but mostly Hluhluwe | 14:22 |
ThatGraemeGuy | ah | 14:24 |
magespawn | i did not know about that supplier, thanks for those links | 14:25 |
ThatGraemeGuy | np | 14:26 |
magespawn | also from icasa if you provide any service to a third party regardless of the frequency you use you have to be licensed | 14:26 |
ThatGraemeGuy | the WUG people typically have an IRC hangout that's usually a good place to lurk for a bit | 14:27 |
ThatGraemeGuy | you are supplying yourself with service :P | 14:27 |
ThatGraemeGuy | if there was an ICASA hassle they would've shut down the WUGs already | 14:27 |
ThatGraemeGuy | seriously, talk to your WUG people, they have all these answers already, no sense trying to speculate or make sense of ICASA nonsense | 14:28 |
Kilos | hi magespawn Gremble lemme catch up | 14:35 |
magespawn | hey Kilos | 14:37 |
magespawn | i think WUG fall under the exemption part of the rules | 14:38 |
magespawn | i agree with that ThatGraemeGuy | 14:40 |
charl | these issues are often a legal grey area, just like many others | 14:46 |
charl | if you join a wug, you have strength in numbers | 14:47 |
charl | besides, you can simply state it's community building | 14:47 |
charl | rather join a larger existing group of people than trying to go at it yourself | 14:47 |
Kilos | he is miles away from any wugs charl | 14:48 |
Kilos | magespawn is this for home town or pangeni | 14:49 |
magespawn | home town Kilos | 14:49 |
ThatGraemeGuy | Kilos: wug links can be up to 50km depending on equipment and environment | 14:49 |
ThatGraemeGuy | they're a bit more powerful than your WiFi AP at home ;-) | 14:49 |
Kilos | he is more than 50k from pangeni i think | 14:50 |
magespawn | i am not sure but i think the nearest 250km + | 14:50 |
Kilos | ya | 14:50 |
magespawn | in durban | 14:50 |
ThatGraemeGuy | ah, that might be a significant hurdle | 14:50 |
charl | nope no luck there | 14:50 |
ThatGraemeGuy | you will have to build repeaters ;-) | 14:50 |
charl | you're going to need multiple relays indeed | 14:50 |
magespawn | i have not found anything here in empangeni | 14:50 |
Kilos | magespawn hometown including parks? | 14:50 |
magespawn | just the town and any out lying farmers that want to join | 14:51 |
charl | magespawn: speak to the DWC guys, they were making a killing | 14:51 |
Kilos | haha you gonna make them pay with pineapples | 14:51 |
magespawn | might be an idea | 14:52 |
charl | magespawn: they might already have some long-range relay points | 14:52 |
magespawn | DWC ? | 14:52 |
charl | the DWC used to be big, i don't know how they are right now | 14:52 |
charl | my knowlege about za is outdated :) | 14:52 |
charl | http://www.dwc.za.net/ | 14:52 |
Kilos | magespawn is quite clued up with wifi equipment already he has done that one resort in a park iirc | 14:53 |
Kilos | its just the legal stuff hey magespawn ? | 14:53 |
Kilos | been in your mind more than a year now | 14:54 |
magespawn | yup i have sort out the licence exemption services and networks application | 14:54 |
charl | bbl all | 14:55 |
magespawn | had a visit from the icasa compliance and enforcement officer today | 14:55 |
charl | meeting tonight ? | 14:55 |
Kilos | aha | 14:55 |
Kilos | yes charl | 14:55 |
charl | ok bbl then :) | 14:55 |

Kilos | wb Vince-0 you at home now? | 15:27 |
Vince-0 | oh hey | 15:27 |
Vince-0 | I am indeed | 15:27 |
Vince-0 | hopefully one day I won't have to leave home to go to work | 15:28 |
Kilos | thats the ideal | 15:28 |
Kilos | but you find when you work for yourself you put much more effort and time in | 15:29 |
Vince-0 | at least then its not working for the man! | 15:30 |
Kilos | lol | 15:31 |
Kilos | you find you are a harder taskmaster on yourself than anyone else was | 15:31 |
Vince-0 | I do envy the farm dwellers somewhat. Been watching Doomsday Preppers lol | 15:32 |
Kilos | living on a farm is lekker but farming is hard work 24/7 | 15:33 |
Kilos | when not working you worry about what you should have already done | 15:33 |
Vince-0 | I like the idea of being self sufficient, subsintence etc | 15:35 |
Kilos | yes it is a satisfying achievement, you can look in the mirror and say hi boss | 15:37 |
Kilos | hi Tonberry meeting tonight hey | 15:37 |

Vince-0 | so do we have a chair person? | 15:39 |
Kilos | nuvolari said he would chair for us | 15:39 |
Vince-0 | 'cos I'm not sure on the bot commands etc - perhaps an instructional how to is in order | 15:39 |
Kilos | i have them saved somewhere. hopefully not on the crashed 500g drive | 15:40 |
Kilos | first is to get permission from the pro | 15:41 |
Kilos | hi bushtech meeting tonight at 20.30 hey | 15:41 |
bushtech | Thans Kilos will try & stay up & Vodacom willing | 15:42 |
Kilos | lol | 15:42 |
bushtech | been up since 4 so it's a race between bed & vodacom | 15:49 |
Kilos | why so early | 15:50 |
bushtech | car service, closest subie stealership in midrand | 15:52 |
bushtech | didn't know I drive a Lambo, wanted to charge me R7,600 for a rear silencer box. Told him where he can put it | 15:55 |
Kilos | wow | 15:56 |
bushtech | new box from performance exhaust place R800 | 15:56 |
Kilos | what a diffs hey | 15:57 |
bushtech | a factor of 10 | 15:58 |
Kilos | yip | 15:59 |
Kilos | what car is it | 15:59 |
magespawn | dealerships are always more expensive, the price for keeping the warrenty intact | 15:59 |
bushtech | and what makes me really cross is the women who bring their cars in, don't know any better and just have to hoes | 15:59 |
Kilos | yeah | 16:00 |
bushtech | Forester | 16:00 |
magespawn | some men too | 16:00 |
bushtech | for sure | 16:00 |
bushtech | but their prices ensures that their head mechanic has got a very lucrative business at home lol | 16:02 |
Gremble | o/ | 16:02 |
Kilos | lol | 16:05 |
Gremble | I once took my Bantam to a mechanic to replace the rear brakes and fix the handbrake. After I got it back both my back bearings destroyed my drums and the handbrake did not work. | 16:08 |
Gremble | I don't have a car at the moment | 16:08 |
Kilos | eish | 16:08 |
Gremble | Not a fan. Haha. The reason I took it to him was because I struggled to replace the rear brakes myself. | 16:10 |
Gremble | Drums are a pain in the arse | 16:10 |
Kilos | ai! | 16:10 |
bushtech | Yeah! need to note where everything goes & which way & which side | 16:11 |
Kilos | when you have a car its good to try get a correct workshop manual. everything is explained nicely in them | 16:11 |
magespawn | Haynes Workshop manuals | 16:12 |
Gremble | ^ Those manuals are so expensive though | 16:12 |
Gremble | I tried to find one on the internet | 16:12 |
magespawn | http://www.autobooks.co.za/ | 16:13 |
bushtech | make very very good friends with the parts manager & try to get a st of workshop manuals out of him | 16:13 |
bushtech | s/st set | 16:13 |
Gremble | ;p | 16:13 |
Kilos | yes they are magespawn but work out what you save paying someone else | 16:14 |
magespawn | yes they are fairly pricey, but if you think about the money saved on services | 16:14 |
Kilos | worth every cent | 16:14 |
Kilos | also you can look at libraries too and photostat needed pages | 16:14 |
Kilos | and at them flee markets on sundays, ive seen many being sold for like 50 bucks | 16:15 |
bushtech | you can also find workshop manuals free online but it's a long hunt | 16:16 |
Kilos | yip | 16:17 |
Kilos | even qualified mechanics use manuals at times | 16:19 |
Vince-0 | I use google howto's every day | 16:20 |
Kilos | lol the pro loves saying google is your friend | 16:36 |
