[10:32] Kilos: Have you thought about making a memory journal? [10:33] I can't remember everything either, so I have a book in which I write down everything I know, so that it is "remembered" physically [10:33] That way I only have to recall where my book is [10:33] instead of what is in the book [10:34] lol i have books full but forget whats where so i save important things like usefull commands and so on in folders all over [10:34] im much better now than back then [10:48] eish modem tricks again [11:05] I wish I had a big blackboard to work on [11:10] lol [11:13] These mosquitos will drive me to murder [11:13] I don't know who I will murder, but certainly someone [11:17] Apparently one day long ago Stephen Hawking had an affair with his nurse [11:17] ... [11:17] How? [11:17] murder the mosquitoes [11:18] that would seem a reasonable solution [11:19] lol inetpro [11:28] hi Golynx [11:28] hi Kilos [11:28] what did you win now [11:29] lol, just the usual gigs of data and more R500 rands airtimes :) [11:30] i dont understand , this phone i won picks up 3G with cellc , but the dongle only 2G. [11:31] they must have some weird configurations going on in certain devices [11:34] what are the dongle specs then [11:34] and if you hold the fone next to the pc is it still 3g? [11:35] take the lappy outside and see then [11:37] the phone is 3G everywhere, in the dongle settings only shows "Cellc (2G)" "VODA (2G) (3G)" [11:38] even if yougo out with it so there is no obstrution between you and the tower? [11:38] the dongle fills all the requirments for cellc 3G network specs, dunno why it not picks up 3G [11:38] ask them [11:38] the tower is about 200m from my house [11:38] then fone them and ask [11:39] or swap sims and see then [11:39] i did they just said plug in a different port lol and then said its not a cellc dongle we cant help you [11:39] oh ok [11:39] see they want your money [11:40] ask them if you can trade in some airtime for a cellc dongle [11:40] yeah true [11:40] lol [11:41] does it show only 2g on linux as well? [11:41] maybe its only fo blackberry that some special features are activated to use 3G [11:42] yeah linux same [11:42] eish [11:42] i love the speed though , 100MB in 5-10 minutes :) [11:43] so i just transfer to the pc the big file downloads [11:43] 100MB usually took me 10 or more hours lol [11:46] wonder if i can dl ubuntu 14.04 iso :/ [11:57] oh gremble if you look around outside, any pool of water is a breeding place for mozzies [11:58] a couple of drops of parafin makes a leayer on top then the larvae die [11:58] I have overturned all the buckets, pales and every other container that I can find [11:59] We have a theory that those black and white ones breed in the grass [11:59] yes and also in plants that can store a tiny bit of water in the leaves [11:59] cut the grass short hehe [12:00] I live against the mountain. Do you know how long it will take to cut all that grass short?
