Kilosyou got something wrong with that stick07:25

kbmonkeyYa I like fdisk07:30
kbmonkeyI see they changed fdisk menus. Looks more organized. 07:31
Kilosi just use fdisk off a win 98 cd07:32
kbmonkeyNeed more weekend. Want to do too much07:32
Kilosthen no need to learn new stuffs07:32
Kilosim really struggling with html07:32
Kilosits so simple and easy to understand if you can just remember the tag goodies07:33
kbmonkeyWhat part of html are you learning now?07:33
Kilosstill near the beginning , going over and over to try get it in head07:34
Kilosactually looks like a lekker language07:34
Kilosand easy to use07:34
kbmonkeyJa it is. I want to do more of javascript myself07:35
Kilosi can at least now remember <html> and <head> and <title> and how to close them07:35

kbmonkeyIt is like elance but I don't think you will need to change website code Kilos :)07:48
kbmonkeyLooks like copy-editing and tagging 07:49
Kilosi went on then they give you what must be done07:49
Kilosthats simple enough07:49
Kilosbut remembering what to do isnt simple07:49
kbmonkeyGood good07:50
kbmonkeyNice to keep busy07:50
Kilosi went on with ian and he said its all basic if you follow their instructions07:50
Kilosthings like a car tire in a grocery page07:51

grembleThat is fantastic10:04
grembleFreeBSD is very nice10:04
grembleIt is just an effort to get desktop things to set up10:05
grembleAlso can't use unetbootin/dd for *BDS as it does not have the syslinux hack to let it boot up10:05
Kilosstandby ThatGraemeGuy ?10:07
kbmonkeyI'r keen to get more hands-on with the install process. The point is to learn more about it :)10:07
grembleFreeBSD install process is automated. Try Gentoo/Arch if you want to play with the install process10:07
grembleNot that I am trying to disuade you from using FreeBSD. TI is awesome10:10
grembleIt even10:10

grembleThey are doing a bang-up job and therefore have to get paid a lot12:09
Kiloshehe12:22
Kiloshmm...14:17
grembleI tea keeps being finished whenever I look at my mug14:20
grembleI think someone is stealing it14:20
Kiloslol14:20
Kilosive started making tea in a 1 litre stork container then topping up my beer mug as needed14:21
Kilosalso saves beer mugs from cracking14:21
grembleYou are a genius14:21
Kilosna just lazy, lazy peeps always look for the easy way out14:22
gremblePeople that are both lazy and creative are the best kinds of people14:23
Kiloshaha14:24
Kilosbeing a mechanic you learn to make things that work. often you cant get some tool into a certain space or angle so you make your own14:25
grembleI know about that part14:27
grembleMy bakkie uses a really weird size nut for the oil sump14:27
grembleWe had to go borrow a special socket14:27
Kilosive made things over the years and now find one can buy similar things14:27
grembleAfterward we just welded a proper nut onto the sump nut. Now it works fine 14:27
gremblexD14:27
Kilosask the pro14:28
Kilosyip make things work the way you want them14:29
bushtechwhy do "people" always feel the sump plug needs to be tightened till your eyes pop out?14:29
bushtechGrrrrrrrrrr14:29
Kilosbringing the same attitude to computers gave many gray hairs though14:29
Kilosya thats stupid hey14:29
Kilosbest is to put pressure on the spanner then whack the plug with a hammer14:30
bushtechslight deformation of threads?14:31
Kilosthose hydraulic impact wrenches often work14:31
Kilosno man not with a 4 lb hammer14:31
Kilosyou just need the shock effect14:31
grembleI just want to know why it comes in a weird American size14:32
Kilosthe whole idea is to make it so you take the vehicle in and pay14:33
grembleScrew them14:34
Kiloslike with all modern cars you need computer diagnostic equipment to fault find for you14:34
gremblehaha14:34
grembleNo, I have a simple Bantam Bakkie14:34
Kilosgood14:34
grembleIt barely has powersteering14:34
bushtechbuying the right socket size a whole lot cheaper than a service14:34
Kilosi have a large set of metrinch tools14:35
Kilosthey fir everything14:35
Kilosfit14:35
grembleWe couldn't find one. My grandfather knows a mechanic though, so we got one there14:35
Kilosbut cost an arm and half a leg14:35
Kilosyou in pta hey?14:35
grembleYa14:36
Kilossmall parts centre and some others i forget14:36
Kilossmall tool centre14:36
Kilosjust get the single sockets you need , ratchets and power bars are standard14:37
grembleI will keep that in mind. 14:38
grembleThanks14:38
Kilosthere is actually another manufacturer that has followed the metrinch pattern for sockets14:38
Kilosi cant remember who14:38
Kilosgedore maybe14:38
grembleI think my father has a gedore set, or my brother has it now14:39
gremblehad*14:39
Kilosthose metrinch sockets are magic. you can file all the corners off a bolt and it still loosens them14:39
Kilosmetrinch doesnt have the many notches it is a 6 sided socket14:40
grembleI dislike working on cars though haha14:40
Kiloswith rounded grip faces14:40
Kilosworking on your own is fine14:41
grembleNo it is not haha14:41
Kilosworking on other peeps cars is a pain14:41
grembleI would prefer not having to worry about it14:41
Kilos"since you fixed my carburettor my back brakes jam all the time" etc etc14:42
Kiloshate fixing other peeps stuff14:42
Kilospcs is different i enjoy that14:42
Kilosand dont charge anyway so there cant be comebacks14:44
grembleI hate it when you don't charge and there are comebacks14:44
grembleAs if everything I do comes with a warranty14:44
Kilosi mainly help my son on the odd occasion fix clients drives or recover data etc14:45
Kilosrest of the time i play freecell14:46
Kilosand forget to remember what i must remember to remember14:49
grembleI have no idea how freecell works14:49
Kilosits lekker time consuming and mahjong14:50
grembleDamn it is difficult to draw anime >.>14:50
