[13:18] all politisions are crooked and liars [13:18] correct Kilos [13:18] politicians [13:19] that in addition to democracy being fundamentally flawed [13:19] meritocracy is more the thing [13:20] 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. [13:21] Coffee's ready for charl and Kilos! [13:21] Maaz: ty [13:21] You are welcome Kilos [13:21] a Water Closet? [13:21] Kilos: thanks [13:21] Western Cape [13:21] Maaz: thanks [13:21] charl: Okay :-) [13:21] sorry Kilos [13:21] for what? [13:22] i'm apoligising for thanking you incorrectly :D [13:23] wb inetpro what did you break? [13:23] the three of them left and came back at the same time. [13:24] Could be the server they're all connecting to [13:25] standard netsplit looks like ? [13:25] oh no, ping timeout, they probably are all located on the same BNC host [13:34] ya they work in same building [13:35] meh [13:35] Load Shedding stage 3 [13:35] ThatGraemeGuy: this sucks :/ [13:41] sigh [13:43] Must be kwaai to be an exec at eskom. solid salary, loadshed that cherry that dumped you back in highschool, etc. [14:05] * Kilos waits for power to go [14:06] the govt is now forming a committee to investigate eskom to see whats gone wrong [14:07] I don't understand what a task-team is supposed to do except waste resources and time [14:10] meh [14:10] in loadshedding [14:10] :/ [14:10] Company still runs [14:10] for the most part [14:10] UPS ftw [15:51] good evenin [15:58] evening [16:19] hi inetpro [16:28] too hot in Pretoria in the last two days [16:34] sigh [16:34] inetpro: agreed [16:34] inetpro: topic bar needs sorting please [16:43] next meeting is the 16th and from here we will go to #ubuntu-meeting just before 22.00 [16:44] 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)? [16:45] * Squirm looks around [16:46] heck, does anyone even know an sms service that isn't a bulk sms provider [16:46] SilverCode: can you not use email? [16:46] If you have an Android phone, your gmail emails are pushed for you [16:47] I thought about that, but I usually have email notifications turned off on my phone [16:47] Otherwise look at using a GSM Modem, there's a small cli application called smssend [16:48] hmmm....good point [16:48] Maybe an old USB 3G modem would work [16:48] I have an old Vodacom GSM modem lying around somewhere [16:49] in smssend all you do is specify the device on the conf file, then a simple command to send the message. [16:50] We seemingly have a fancy UPS. It's networked. Our servers run apcupsd [16:51] so we can schedule when they're shut down [16:51] SilverCode: 3g card? [16:52] yeah.. [16:52] *sigh* Vodacom have discontinued my sim [16:52] That was quite rude of them [16:52] *disconnected [16:53] it costs you about ~50c for a new one [16:53] well, I haven't used it in about 13 months [16:53] and a bit of time [16:53] Ironically, if you get a new phone they charge you R200 for a new sim [16:53] Even if you don't need it [16:53] 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 [16:54] well. you can still pick it up [16:54] These days you pretty much have to RICA/FICA to fart, so you may as well have the necessary documentation with you [16:54] just take along your ID book and proof of residence [16:54] takes an extra minute or two [16:58] anyway, might bbl [17:03] don't some of the dodgy dealers do pre-RICAs? So you could end up being Beatrice Ndlovu from Soshanguve as well [17:08] lol [17:08] hi gremble [17:10] Pretoria is quite cold these days [17:10] Good evening Kilos [17:10] What?
