[07:15] <theblazehen> hi Private_User
[07:15] <Kilos> hi Private_User  
[07:15] <theblazehen> hi Kilos
[07:15] <Kilos> and theblazehen  
[07:15] <Private_User> hi theblazehen
[07:15] <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?
[07:16] <Private_User> I want to try an extract business info from www.yellowpages.co.za
[07:17] <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?
[07:18] <theblazehen> Private_User: get firebug on firefox
[07:19] <theblazehen> then copy the relevant xpaths, etc. and use http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/scenarios/scrape/
[07:22] <Private_User> thanks theblazehen, I will try that now
[07:38] <spinza> Private_User: I've played with imports.io the other day.   Creates an api for a website. 
[07:39] <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
[07:40] <Private_User> which sites have you been successful with using that tool if you do not mind me asking?
[07:41] <spinza> I've pulled some data from financial website that had js
[07:41] <spinza> Had to enable js on the tool
[07:42] <theblazehen> http://www.programmableweb.com/api/south-african-yellowpages-maps will this help?
[07:44] <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
[08:51] <bduk> Morning Guys
[08:57] <Kilos> hi bduk  
[09:58] <bushtech> Kilos: So when you getting your replacement drive?
[10:01] <Kilos> as soon as my son sorts the couriers bushtech  
[10:02] <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?
[10:03] <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?
[10:04] <bushtech> not sure but makes sense to me, not your prob
[10:04] <bushtech> cpa?
[10:04] <Kilos> cpa?
[10:04] <Kilos> whats that
[10:05] <bushtech> consumer protection act
[10:05] <Kilos> oh my
[10:06] <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
[10:07] <Kilos> they even delivered personally after the courier messed around for a week
[10:10] <bushtech_> damn vodacom
[10:10] <Kilos> ai!
[10:14] <inetpro> bushtech: ai! Can we not put the cpa on VC as well?
[10:14] <bushtech> heh heh would love to
[10:15] <bushtech> but VC bit bigger than your supplier I suspect
[10:16] <bushtech> would be much harder to pin them down once their layers step in
[10:16] <bushtech> layers = lawyers
[10:18] <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
[10:19] <Kilos> dont try sort things at the help desk
[11:26] <Kilos> i think they own large shares in everything that can make money
[12:28] <Squirm> hello
[12:28] <Kilos> hello Squirm  
[13:19] <Kilos> hmm...

[18:29] <Kilos> haha
[18:29] <kbmonkey> hehe
[18:29] <Kilos> oh ya you were on the game with us
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <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
[18:32] <kbmonkey> sad
[18:32] <Kilos> ya blame the cell peeps
[18:35] <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
[18:36] <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
[18:37] <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 :)
[18:38] <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
[18:39] <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?
[18:40] <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 ;)
[18:41] <kbmonkey> I lived in Obz and Rondebosh, out of town
[18:41] <kbmonkey> living in town is best if you also work there
[18:42] <kbmonkey> that said I dont mind CT traffic. drivers there are much more considerate and easy going than any other city I know
[18:43] <kbmonkey> but parking is a big issue (narrow roads), so many folk opt for scooters
[18:44] <superfly> kbmonkey: no, I'm afraid not. we do agile and pair-programming
[18:45] <kbmonkey> thanks superfly :)
[18:45] <kbmonkey> I'm not relocating at this time, regretfully 
[19:01] <Kilos> night all. sleep tight. night my monkey, dont be a stranger any more
[19:01] <bushtech_>  night Kilos
[19:01] <Kilos> superfly  i saw her on fb, so cute hey
[19:01] <Kilos> tommorow guys
[19:01] <Kilos> tomorrow as well also too
[19:01] <Kilos> night bushtech_  
[19:02] <gremble> night Kilos 
[19:04] <kbmonkey> Maaz, tell kilos good night
[19:04] <Maaz> kbmonkey: Okay, I'll tell Kilos on freenode
[19:05] <kbmonkey> Trixar_za, ping ;)
[19:05] <Trixar_za> ping :P
