| Kilos | they all crooks | 13:18 |
| theblazehen | ooh, fun subject.. :) | 13:18 |
| charl | the democratic *ssholes? | 13:18 |
| Kilos | all politisions are crooked and liars | 13:18 |
| charl | correct Kilos | 13:18 |
| Kilos | politicians | 13:18 |
| charl | that in addition to democracy being fundamentally flawed | 13:19 |
| charl | meritocracy is more the thing | 13:19 |
| Joe_knock | I was just reading an article of how the WC is like a police state, but then again, the article had an agenda behind it. | 13:20 |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for charl and Kilos! | 13:21 |
| Kilos | Maaz: ty | 13:21 |
| Maaz | You are welcome Kilos | 13:21 |

| charl | Maaz: thanks | 13:21 |
| Maaz | charl: Okay :-) | 13:21 |
| charl | sorry Kilos | 13:21 |
| Kilos | for what? | 13:21 |
| charl | i'm apoligising for thanking you incorrectly :D | 13:22 |
| Kilos | wb inetpro what did you break? | 13:23 |
| Joe_knock | the three of them left and came back at the same time. | 13:23 |
| Joe_knock | Could be the server they're all connecting to | 13:24 |
| charl | standard netsplit looks like ? | 13:25 |
| charl | oh no, ping timeout, they probably are all located on the same BNC host | 13:25 |
| Kilos | ya they work in same building | 13:34 |
| Squirm | meh | 13:35 |
| Squirm | Load Shedding stage 3 | 13:35 |
| Squirm | ThatGraemeGuy: this sucks :/ | 13:35 |
| Kilos | sigh | 13:41 |
| Joe_knock | Must be kwaai to be an exec at eskom. solid salary, loadshed that cherry that dumped you back in highschool, etc. | 13:43 |
| * Kilos waits for power to go | 14:05 | |
| Kilos | the govt is now forming a committee to investigate eskom to see whats gone wrong | 14:06 |
| Joe_knock | I don't understand what a task-team is supposed to do except waste resources and time | 14:07 |
| Squirm | meh | 14:10 |
| Squirm | in loadshedding | 14:10 |
| Squirm | :/ | 14:10 |
| Squirm | Company still runs | 14:10 |
| Squirm | for the most part | 14:10 |
| Squirm | UPS ftw | 14:10 |
| inetpro | good evenin | 15:51 |
| Joe_knock | evening | 15:58 |
| theblazehen | hi inetpro | 16:19 |
| inetpro | too hot in Pretoria in the last two days | 16:28 |
| Kilos | sigh | 16:34 |
| theblazehen | inetpro: agreed | 16:34 |
| Kilos | inetpro: topic bar needs sorting please | 16:34 |
| Kilos | next meeting is the 16th and from here we will go to #ubuntu-meeting just before 22.00 | 16:43 |
| SilverCode | does anyone know of any sms providers that are free for very low volumes (ie. I just need to send an SMS to myself when the UPS goes on battery)? | 16:44 |
| * Squirm looks around | 16:45 | |
| SilverCode | heck, does anyone even know an sms service that isn't a bulk sms provider | 16:46 |
| Squirm | SilverCode: can you not use email? | 16:46 |
| Squirm | If you have an Android phone, your gmail emails are pushed for you | 16:46 |
| SilverCode | I thought about that, but I usually have email notifications turned off on my phone | 16:47 |
| Squirm | Otherwise look at using a GSM Modem, there's a small cli application called smssend | 16:47 |
| SilverCode | hmmm....good point | 16:48 |
| Squirm | Maybe an old USB 3G modem would work | 16:48 |
| SilverCode | I have an old Vodacom GSM modem lying around somewhere | 16:48 |
| Squirm | in smssend all you do is specify the device on the conf file, then a simple command to send the message. | 16:49 |
| Squirm | We seemingly have a fancy UPS. It's networked. Our servers run apcupsd | 16:50 |
| Squirm | so we can schedule when they're shut down | 16:51 |
| theblazehen | SilverCode: 3g card? | 16:51 |
| theblazehen | yeah.. | 16:52 |
| SilverCode | *sigh* Vodacom have discontinued my sim | 16:52 |
| gremble | That was quite rude of them | 16:52 |
| SilverCode | *disconnected | 16:52 |
| Squirm | it costs you about ~50c for a new one | 16:53 |
| SilverCode | well, I haven't used it in about 13 months | 16:53 |
| Squirm | and a bit of time | 16:53 |
| gremble | Ironically, if you get a new phone they charge you R200 for a new sim | 16:53 |
| gremble | Even if you don't need it | 16:53 |
| SilverCode | the time is the part I don't like ... I miss being able to pick up a starter pack at the till on my way out and just use the thing. No need to RICA | 16:53 |
| Squirm | well. you can still pick it up | 16:54 |
| gremble | These days you pretty much have to RICA/FICA to fart, so you may as well have the necessary documentation with you | 16:54 |
| Squirm | just take along your ID book and proof of residence | 16:54 |
| Squirm | takes an extra minute or two | 16:54 |
| Squirm | anyway, might bbl | 16:58 |
| Joe_knock | don't some of the dodgy dealers do pre-RICAs? So you could end up being Beatrice Ndlovu from Soshanguve as well | 17:03 |
| Kilos | lol | 17:08 |
| Kilos | hi gremble | 17:08 |
| Joe_knock | Pretoria is quite cold these days | 17:10 |
| gremble | Good evening Kilos | 17:10 |

| Joe_knock | *sarcasm ;) | 17:10 |
| Kilos | hopefully storm coming | 17:10 |
| Joe_knock | hopefully not tonight | 17:12 |
| Kilos | everything is dry. we need water from the sky | 17:22 |
| Kilos | methinks the pro broke something, he didnt even greet today | 17:24 |

| Wraz | In SA, you hope you have aircon | 18:16 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:16 |

| Wraz | Here there are like no snakes, miggies, spider or anything under the rocks | 18:17 |
| Wraz | or in the bushes | 18:17 |

| Wraz | was great fun | 18:21 |
| Wraz | my brother is avid surfer with balls harder than ice, he went surfing every morning just like he did in sa, every day of the year ;0 | 18:21 |
| Wraz | ocean does not freeze | 18:21 |
| Kilos | eish | 18:21 |

| Kilos | oh well , i must have you mixed up with someone else | 18:27 |
| Kilos | ram faulty | 18:27 |
| Wraz | lol | 18:28 |
| Kilos | thats what happens when you still use sdr ram | 18:28 |
| Joe_knock | Oom you must go to campus with gremble next year to see the ladies in their skirts | 18:33 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:34 |
| Kilos | id rather go see what their pcs are like | 18:35 |
| Kilos | no not even that then ill eat my heart out | 18:36 |
| Joe_knock | they use i5 machines I think. all proline sheet | 18:36 |
| Kilos | prfoline only yucky untill you wipe windows and go linux | 18:37 |
| Kilos | proline | 18:37 |
| Joe_knock | i tried picking up a used machine once, it was impossible to buy it | 18:38 |
| Kilos | what do they do with them | 18:38 |
| Wraz | AMd seem superior to Intel in processors and motherboards at the mo | 18:38 |
| Kilos | id love to upgrade this pc to i5 | 18:38 |
| Kilos | there is that new haswel thing | 18:39 |
| Kilos | super fast | 18:39 |
| Kilos | 8 cores | 18:39 |
| Joe_knock | nee oom, intel doesn't yet work on 8 cores. the i7 haswell is 6 proper cores, and the i5s they have are 2nd/3rd generation with max 4 cores | 18:41 |
| Wraz | http://www.ebuyer.com/661538-intel-core-i7-5930k-3-50ghz-socket-2011-v3-15mb-cache-retail-boxed-processor-bx80648i75930k?utm_source=google&utm_medium=products&gclid=CNaS-t_Gr8ICFRHHtAodlxoAFQ ? | 18:41 |
| Joe_knock | that thing looks good for gaming or servers only | 18:43 |
| Kilos | again i read wrong | 18:44 |
| Wraz | Paralell processing is the only real path forward with more throughput required, amd seem superior in this regaurd | 18:44 |
| Joe_knock | It took me a while to understand also oom, and then too I don't get it all yet | 18:45 |
| Kilos | http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/30/review-roundup-intels-8-core-haswell-e/ | 18:45 |
| Wraz | for the last 15 years I have been an intel fanboy, i still love their sponsoring opencv. but meh | 18:45 |
| Kilos | intels work good | 18:46 |
| Kilos | i saw an add for a gaming pc with that haswell cpu in , R60 k they wanted | 18:47 |
| Kilos | only Symmetria can afford that kinda stuff | 18:47 |
| Joe_knock | I wouldn't spend R5K on a desktop :P | 18:52 |
| Kilos | sjoe | 18:53 |
| Symmetria | heh | 18:53 |
| Symmetria | why not | 18:53 |
| Symmetria | in 18 hours I'll be married *hohum* | 18:54 |
| Kilos | hahaha | 18:54 |
| Kilos | another one bites the dust | 18:54 |
| Symmetria | heh well, I'll be married under kenyan law | 18:55 |
| Wraz | :) | 18:55 |
| Symmetria | but it woudnt be recognized in the rest of the world I dont think | 18:55 |
| Symmetria | heh, the normal wedding is only in August | 18:55 |
| Symmetria | this is step one, the traditional wedding | 18:55 |
| Joe_knock | You a kenyan fellow? Symmetria | 18:56 |
| Symmetria | heh, Im South African but I moved to Kenya a fair while ago :) | 18:56 |
| Joe_knock | Is your wife a kenyan lady? :O | 18:58 |
| Symmetria | yes | 18:59 |
| Joe_knock | aah that is cool. I must encourage you to have your child born in europe, so you can be truly "international" :D | 19:02 |
| Kilos | night all of ya. sleep tight | 19:13 |
| gremble | If your kid is born on an emirates flight, it can fly for free with them for life | 19:29 |
| theblazehen | gremble: thanks for the tip.. | 19:30 |
| gremble | That's what she said | 19:30 |
| gremble | I'm so funny for myself | 19:30 |
| gremble | I crack me up | 19:30 |
| theblazehen | Yeah.. | 19:50 |
| Joe_knock | gremble: No alcohol before campus closes? | 21:04 |
| gremble | No alchohol? | 21:16 |
| gremble | I had a beer on campus before my last exam if that counts? | 21:16 |

| Joe_knock | his real name says oupamster :-/ | 21:35 |
| Joe_knock | I'm doing collaborative editing for an OSS project gremble :P | 21:36 |
| gremble | OSS? The organisation that turned into the CIA? | 21:37 |
| gremble | :o | 21:37 |
| gremble | What program are you using to collaboratively edit? | 21:38 |
| Joe_knock | We were first using an online editor, but the other guy is fussy, so we're using Gobby now. | 21:39 |
| gremble | Last time I did something like that, the guy set up a small VPS and we shared a screen session | 21:47 |
| gremble | It was really weird | 21:47 |
| Joe_knock | this guy setup a gobby server. | 21:51 |
