[15:21] Current problems, issues and outages | Down Detector" https://downdetector.co.za/status/mw… [17:18] hi Tonberry superfly [17:18] and inetpro [17:25] hi [18:23] hi Joe_knock [18:23] Hey there oom Kilos [18:26] we need to get everyone here again and see who will be contact person [18:26] monkey cant do it anymore [18:26] health reasons i think [18:27] superfly: inetpro comments? [18:28] i don't really have the time [18:32] oh i know that superfly i just wanted your opinion, should i ask maia to do it for the next 2 years [18:33] if i say pretty please she might [18:37] evening ThatGraemeGuy [18:37] standby? [18:37] What is required of a contact person? [18:37] Hmm nevermind [18:38] no, I just seem to have useable MTN 3G for the first time in ages so I'm taking advantage while it lasts [18:38] I don't think I should do it [18:39] solid 50ms ping and 1.5M down, this is pretty much unheard of for me at home [18:40] gremble [18:41] I'm tempted to volunteer, but I don't think I can commit time in December [18:41] we need someone reliable, its basically to be the direct contact to canonical, and when dvds arrive fetch them from customs and then distribute [18:41] ThatGraemeGuy: that is unheard of in general :P [18:41] "and when dvds arrive fetch them from customs and then distribute" now that is the tough part [18:41] ya thats the only hard part [18:42] so whats sick ThatGraemeGuy ? [18:43] mtr and look for the weak links [18:43] oh its wifi now hey [18:43] misty out there? [18:50] no 3G not wifi [18:51] sorry i just read what you said earlier. i missed it earlier [18:52] Doesn't 3G and wifi run in a similar frequency band? [18:54] evening all [18:54] hi captine [18:54] spoke too soon, gone down the toilet again [18:54] ai! [18:54] Joe_knock: nope [18:55] wifi is 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz, 3G is a bunch of others [18:55] ThatGraemeGuy: If your house is double-story, try sitting on the second story near a window [18:55] wifi is 2.4 and 5g [18:55] 800MHz, 900MHz, 2100MHz, etc [18:55] 3g in the 900 meg band [18:55] Joe_knock: i'm on the bad side of a hill [18:56] oh my you fast ThatGraemeGuy [18:56] i'm on the edge of the urban area just beyond me is farmland [18:56] aah so 3G is 2100, but it is MHz, whilst wifi is 2.4 GHz (= 2400MHz? ) [18:57] yeah [18:57] and not only 2100, there's a whole list [18:57] i think cell c uses 900MHz [18:57] which is likely why i have better cell c reception [18:58] I thought part of the 900 MHz wasn't available to cell providers as ICASA wanted to give it to new players [18:59] ok [18:59] whatever, the point is the question was isn't 3G the same frequencies as wifi and the answer is no [18:59] correct [19:13] Maaz: coffee on [19:13] * Maaz flips the salt-timer [19:13] Maaz: coffee for all [19:13] Come on ya buncha geeks. Rock up with your mugs with the correct amount of sugar added already [19:14] Joe_knock: you using ubuntu? [19:14] 64bit? [19:14] Kilos: 32-bit Xubuntu [19:15] can you look in synaptic if ibid is there please [19:17] Coffee's ready for Kilos! [19:17] Maaz: ty [19:17] You are welcome Kilos [19:18] ibid ? [19:19] python bot [19:19] used to be in repos [19:19] Ibid: "Easily extensible Python IM bot for IRC, Jabber, SILC, campfire, etc." [19:20] It's in the Ubuntu Software centre [19:20] *Center [19:22] maybe i did something wrong here i installed a daily build one and it dont work and thats what i see in synaptic, so i dont know if it doesnt work on 64bit [19:22] np will look around ty [19:27] oom hoe het jy die daily build install? [19:27] a 32-bit build *could* work in a 64-bit machine [19:32] i installed it with the kde installer [19:33] just click on it and it installs [19:33] only when i run it i get an error in some keyword [19:33] but purged now [19:33] will try again tomorrow [19:36] ami i mailed maia and asked her if she can stay on as contact person [19:37] so all you guys hold thumbs with me [19:37] i go sleep now [19:37] night all. sleep tight
