[06:15] hi ThatGraemeGuy [06:16] * Kilos slumming a while [06:18] morning [06:18] hi Squirm [06:23] mornings [06:33] oh ThatGraemeGuy do you guys take on youngsters in like an apprenticeship? [06:34] hrmmmm like a student for a few weeks/months? [06:34] i dont know what things are called nowadays [06:34] well, blaze is still at school this coming year and then he needs a job i think [06:35] blazehen, you here? [06:35] not that I know of [06:35] if you hear of someone that does please tell us , ty ThatGraemeGuy [06:36] cool [06:36] i'm pretty sure we would hire someone into the support dept if they had the right soft skills [06:36] he gets disheartened because all jobs want peeps with experience, but how does a youngster get experience [06:36] Kilos, yeah [06:36] hi ThatGraemeGuy [06:36] we provide all the technical training, so you needn't really be a wiz to start in support [06:37] having a bit of tech knowledge helps too though [06:37] he runs lots things from home and is clued with coding [06:37] ty ThatGraemeGuy [06:37] Mind sharing where you work? [06:37] hetzner [06:38] ah [06:38] http://hetznercareers.theresumator.com/apply/hP9PCm/Support-Consultants.html [06:38] that's for a support person, the only hard requirement is matric [06:38] oh, nice :) [06:38] its a great way to get started for somone straight out of school [06:39] yeah, ty for the info :) [06:39] ty ThatGraemeGuy [06:39] you're welcome [06:40] anyone use i3wm? [06:40] I'm itching for a new DE and it looks different enough to be interesting [06:40] ThatGraemeGuy, I used it a bit, and IIRC either charl or superfly does [06:40] Have you tried awesome? I'm running that ATM [06:40] charl ya [06:41] ah that's another tiling one yeah? [06:41] yeah [06:41] But not really "dynamic" tiling if I can call it that [06:41] time to fire up some testing VMs [06:41] you just get defined layouts in a lua file [06:42] All the config is in lua [06:42] I know a little bot of Lua from playing too much minetest :) [06:42] lol [06:42] Want a screenshot of my setup on lua? [06:43] yeah lets have a look [06:44] i have 2 screens and i typically have 1 full-screen app in each, but I've been realising that in most cases there's a ton of empty space in each, seems I could use the space better [06:45] http://theblazehen.com/scrot.png [06:45] eeeek [06:46] Kilos, ? [06:46] i could never use something like that [06:47] hah, just takes a few minutes to learn [06:48] for me thats months not minutes [06:54] looks good [06:55] esp IRC window has less wasted space [06:55] by comparison, my irc window has about the same lines, but a lot of blank space on the right [06:55] http://i.imgur.com/GD2hjqq.png [06:56] I'm using dual monitors, but yeah, I often tile firefox, with vlc and IRC windows [06:56] Hmm, yeah.. On wide screen tiling is real good [06:56] I'm running 1024x768 + 1600x900 [06:57] i have 2 1920x1080 here. If I had the right model screens I could use my laptop's screen too [06:58] intel gfx can't do 3 screens if they have different timings, and the 2 screens have different timings to the laptop's screen :( [06:58] 60.0Hz vs 60.1Hz [06:58] Oh, wow.. That sucks [06:58] Can't force one to 60? [06:58] nope [06:58] at least not any way I've found [06:59] Hmm.. Been thinking of getting a 3rd here, but my CRT flickers too much at 60 Hz :( [06:59] I should ask our local IT support guy of anyone has it working [06:59] maybe I can trade my 2 monitors for a different model that allows it to work [06:59] yeah, that'd be nice [06:59] yeah LCDs don't flicker thankfully [07:00] in the CRT days I could barely cope with 75Hz [07:00] 80+ was perfect typically [07:01] heh, just glad my HDMI -> VGA converter supports 75 Hz [07:04] see ThatGraemeGuy he will be a good catch for some company [07:17] that isn't really what our support people deal with :P [07:18] oh [07:18] start a new trend for them [07:18] hehe [07:18] support with everything [07:23] Kilos, heh, some places actually are like that [07:24] read the stories at reddit.com/user/bytewave/submitted/ if you want [07:25] I like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromtechsupport/comments/2ng4rx/sure_our_telco_can_torrent_your_movie/ === blazehen is now known as theblazehen [08:16] hmm... [08:17] * Kilos thinks with seriosity [08:17] hehe [08:17] seriotensity [08:22] lol [08:25] got a cpu fan that has all the ends broken off the mounting bracket [08:26] lol, duct tape? [08:26] need to work a plan to use screws from under the motherboard to hold them safely in place [08:26] no man it has to mount preciselt so the sink lies centre on the cpu [08:26] precisely [08:27] ooh, heat sink too.. [08:27] oh its the sinks brackets that has broken mounts [08:28] ya the sink is the important part [08:28] fan can be jury rigged on top [08:29] Which mobo is that for?

Just grabbed 1.3GB of updates :-o [09:04] whew [09:07] hi there superfly inetpro charl [09:07] heh [09:07] so with a 100Mbit internet connection downloading 1.3GB of updates is MUCH faster than actually installing them [09:08] lol [09:09] ohi [09:10] sjoe , forgot where i put my vernia. not often used on computers [09:13] ThatGraemeGuy, heh, nice. Love that feel on my VPS too. You try win 10 tech preview yet? [09:14] no, I have no real interest in following developments in Windowsland, I just have a VM for when I absolutely have to use it [09:15] and judging by the fact that the last time I booted it was also just because I thought hey maybe I should update it, I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't just dump it [09:16] ThatGraemeGuy, yeah, I keep a win 8.1 dual boot for skyrim [09:16] And a VM on my ESXi machine for other stuff [09:16] Don't use it apart from that === SilverCode_ is now known as SilverCode [10:11] hi all [10:11] hi captine [10:12] hi captine [10:13] http://imgur.com/JANQvkZ - how does one report this to canonical / web admins? am asking in the main #ubuntu channel as well [10:14] captine, AFAIK there is an ubuntu bugs project [10:14] hava a google for that [10:18] theblazehen, go win me this lappy please [10:18] http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/664401-Gigabyte-P25W-R20-000-laptop-giveaway [10:18] i can never get to type in done [10:19] Kilos, I can try..

[19:35] * Kilos yawns [19:35] night all. sleep tight [21:06] o/ [21:15] Hi gremble [21:21] Hey theblazehen_ [21:38] results out? gremble [21:41] Yup. So far passed everything. Missed my distinctions, but can't do much about that [21:41] Wrote Geology on monday, so just waiting for that now [21:54] exam on 1 december? strange that it is so late [21:55] Was the Aergotat (sick exam). I had Numerical analysis and geology scheduled for the same time on the 13th of Nov [21:55] oh okie. numeric analysis would be wtw 26* ? [21:56] for engineers yes [21:56] for me it is 123 [21:56] first year? Arent you second year? [21:56] I have a bunch of first year math subjects that I had to catch up with. Switched from CompSci to Applied math [21:58] oh yes. how has your year been with applied math? [21:59] Hard. Had to drop philosophy. Dynamical systems was pretty insane. I think engineers have it as wtw 264 or something like that - Differential equations [21:59] tuks does push out some of the smartest engineers in SA [22:00] Well, hopefully I get to add my name to one of the greats from SA :P [22:01] I can't remember what you do [22:01] :x [22:02] I don't think I told you :P [22:03] I had a weird experience at a job interview yesterday. [22:03] You often have weird experiences at job interviews? [22:05] yeah, it wasn't a run of the mill type of interview. The guy decided to go all philosophical on me [22:06] Did you blow his mind with your insights? [22:06] For what was the interview? [22:07] I actually just let him talk, as he did provide some valuable info. [22:07] for a web-dev job [22:09] I have the same regard for front-end webdevs that I have for accountants, teachers, nurses, sales people and the likes. Fucking amazing shit that I would not be able to do [22:10] I'm beginning to regret not taking accounting as an elective though. [22:11] that is a prized skill in SA [22:11] Nope. I'd rather pay someone to do that who is a professional and knows what is up with what [22:11] If you want a prized skill, become a certified linux engineer [22:13] You think so? I should register for the LPiC then [22:13] pay isn't too great for sysadmins though [22:13] There aren't linux system admins/engineers in SA [22:13] I was talking with a guy at SFD this year [22:14] who complained about it. They are few and far between and expensive [22:14] There are plenty certified sysadmins in SA. check out: lsd.co.za [22:18] I thought about doing it, you know as a back up career. But decided that I would rather focus 140% of my energy into something I fully and thoroughly enjoy instead [22:18] and If I end up becoming a homeless mathematician, so be it [22:19] Banks value talented mathematicians. [22:19] What is LSD? [22:20] It's a linux company. [22:20] Or kinda like a consulting firm I think [22:23] No where does it say :P [22:25] http://www.lsd.co.za/go-to/about-lsd [22:29] That still does not say what they do. I duno if they are being vague on purpose though :p [22:32] I think they see themselves as broad open source providers. Training, certification and custom services [22:43] I don't understand why I have such issues connecting to freenode :| [22:44] Is it your connection? [22:44] Try using the free wifi in hatfield and see if that works [22:47] Ya that is really far away right now :P I don't think 12Km wifi exists yet [22:47] It does look like something is killing my connection [22:47] The wifi area is massive for Pretoria now. [22:48] Haven't reached us yet [22:50] I think I am going to hit the sack [22:50] Cheers Joe_knock [22:50] cheers. tc
