| Private_User | hi Kilos | 07:15 |
| Private_User | hey do any of you know of any good web scraper tools I can use with google chrome? | 07:15 |
| Private_User | I want to try an extract business info from www.yellowpages.co.za | 07:16 |
| Private_User | I have tried a few extension on the chrome web store but not sure how to use it on yellowpages | 07:17 |
| Private_User | ideas? | 07:17 |
| theblazehen | Private_User: get firebug on firefox | 07:18 |
| theblazehen | then copy the relevant xpaths, etc. and use http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/scenarios/scrape/ | 07:19 |
| Private_User | thanks theblazehen, I will try that now | 07:22 |
| spinza | Private_User: I've played with imports.io the other day. Creates an api for a website. | 07:38 |
| spinza | That should be import.io | 07:39 |
| Private_User | thanks spinza, I tried it but seem to have failed in trying to get data or maybe I just need to go over the tutorial. I was trying to extract data from yellowpages | 07:39 |
| Private_User | which sites have you been successful with using that tool if you do not mind me asking? | 07:40 |
| spinza | I've pulled some data from financial website that had js | 07:41 |
| spinza | Had to enable js on the tool | 07:41 |
| theblazehen | http://www.programmableweb.com/api/south-african-yellowpages-maps will this help? | 07:42 |
| Private_User | thanks spinza | 07:44 |
| Private_User | thanks theblazehen that seems like it may do the trick I will play around now and shout if I need assistance | 07:44 |
| Private_User | thanks for the help | 07:44 |
| bduk | Morning Guys | 08:51 |
| Kilos | hi bduk | 08:57 |
| bushtech | Kilos: So when you getting your replacement drive? | 09:58 |
| Kilos | as soon as my son sorts the couriers bushtech | 10:01 |
| Kilos | they want 400 bucks for the job | 10:02 |
| Kilos | the supplier said np bring it in hehe | 10:02 |
| bushtech | huh, should be paid by supplier? | 10:02 |
| Kilos | oh my | 10:03 |
| bushtech | supplier should collect and deliver | 10:03 |
| Kilos | they said i must bring it in and theyll swop | 10:03 |
| Kilos | are you sure? | 10:03 |
| bushtech | not sure but makes sense to me, not your prob | 10:04 |
| bushtech | cpa? | 10:04 |
| Kilos | cpa? | 10:04 |
| Kilos | whats that | 10:04 |
| bushtech | consumer protection act | 10:05 |
| Kilos | oh my | 10:05 |
| bushtech | maybe threaten them with that, but go read their fine print first (supplier) | 10:06 |
| Kilos | lol no man they been very friendly and helpful to me | 10:06 |
| Kilos | they even delivered personally after the courier messed around for a week | 10:07 |
| bushtech_ | damn vodacom | 10:10 |
| Kilos | ai! | 10:10 |
| inetpro | bushtech: ai! Can we not put the cpa on VC as well? | 10:14 |
| bushtech | heh heh would love to | 10:14 |
| bushtech | but VC bit bigger than your supplier I suspect | 10:15 |
| bushtech | would be much harder to pin them down once their layers step in | 10:16 |
| bushtech | layers = lawyers | 10:16 |
| Kilos | haha | 10:18 |
| gremble | Incidentally, I found out the other day that the state owns a large share in Vodacom | 10:18 |
| Kilos | contact their ceo man | 10:18 |
| Kilos | and ask how come they not so slow to take your money | 10:18 |
| Kilos | dont try sort things at the help desk | 10:19 |
| Kilos | i think they own large shares in everything that can make money | 11:26 |

| Kilos | oh ya you were on the game with us | 18:29 |
| Kilos | things have grown lots there | 18:30 |
| kbmonkey | in minetest? | 18:30 |
| kbmonkey | I like to see it again some time! | 18:30 |
| Kilos | ya we just cant keep up with data use | 18:30 |
| Kilos | the pro and family blew 3g in one day | 18:31 |
| kbmonkey | wow! | 18:31 |
| Kilos | so now we all running local servers as well, but not the same thing | 18:31 |
| kbmonkey | sad | 18:32 |
| Kilos | ya blame the cell peeps | 18:32 |
| kbmonkey | It has been cold and rainy in Durban the past week | 18:35 |
| Kilos | yeah i see in weather reports and we need rain again but it dont reach here | 18:35 |
| kbmonkey | the cold is nice. Summer is worst, mozzies and bugs come out that time | 18:35 |
| kbmonkey | that is a shame. It rained the whole weekend here | 18:36 |
| Kilos | no man cold no nice, it sucks | 18:36 |
| kbmonkey | ya but your cold freezes the pipes! | 18:36 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:36 |
| kbmonkey | our cold is only 16 degrees | 18:36 |
| Squirm | superfly, ThatGraemeGuy: sorry for all the questions... I've found a digs type hostel type thing, in the middle of town(loop street). It's only a 25km commute, but what would the traffic be like getting OUT of town in the morning? Why I ask is because it's still in the middle of town :/ | 18:36 |
| Squirm | thinking of getting myself a scooter too :P | 18:36 |
| Kilos | see kbmonkey nuvolari is in ct now and Squirm going soon as well | 18:37 |
| gwood | Squirm: I have a motorbike, had one for years, you save a lot of money on petrol, maintenance, easy parking | 18:37 |
| kbmonkey | hi Squirm :) | 18:37 |
| Squirm | hey kbmonkey | 18:38 |
| kbmonkey | nuvo moved to CT? | 18:38 |
| Squirm | yes | 18:38 |
| Kilos | ya | 18:38 |
| kbmonkey | I miss that place | 18:38 |
| Squirm | nuvolari and Trixar_za are the only 2 people here i've met :p | 18:38 |
| kbmonkey | lovely city | 18:38 |
| Squirm | kbmonkey: that's the plan. can pick up a scooter my mate is selling for R6k | 18:39 |
| Kilos | oh you do dev work kbmonkey | 18:39 |
| Kilos | fly says they looking for dev peeps | 18:39 |
| Kilos | c/c++/python | 18:39 |
| kbmonkey | I do, and that is cool | 18:39 |
| Squirm | kbmonkey: any ideas on traffic getting out of town? | 18:39 |
| kbmonkey | the fly is also CT based, wonder if he accepts work remotely | 18:40 |
| Kilos | ask him he is here atm | 18:40 |
| kbmonkey | Squirm, nope. apart from leaving earlier/later than rush hour ;) | 18:40 |
| kbmonkey | I lived in Obz and Rondebosh, out of town | 18:41 |
| kbmonkey | living in town is best if you also work there | 18:41 |
| kbmonkey | that said I dont mind CT traffic. drivers there are much more considerate and easy going than any other city I know | 18:42 |
| kbmonkey | but parking is a big issue (narrow roads), so many folk opt for scooters | 18:43 |
| superfly | kbmonkey: no, I'm afraid not. we do agile and pair-programming | 18:44 |
| kbmonkey | thanks superfly :) | 18:45 |
| kbmonkey | I'm not relocating at this time, regretfully | 18:45 |
| Kilos | night all. sleep tight. night my monkey, dont be a stranger any more | 19:01 |
| bushtech_ | night Kilos | 19:01 |

| kbmonkey | Maaz, tell kilos good night | 19:04 |
| Maaz | kbmonkey: Okay, I'll tell Kilos on freenode | 19:04 |
