[10:40] Kilos, how's the bazaar usage going? [10:41] hmm... [10:41] bazaar usage? [10:41] I almost proposed it at work for managing IBM Cognos Rule Files, but am pretty swayed to GIT, due to it's massive uptake. [10:41] oh the site thing [10:41] weren't you using bzr [10:41] ?

[12:59] first time here hey? [13:00] tell us about yourself and if you need help state your prob and someone will advise [13:00] advize [13:00] that thing [13:01] No problems so far, I'm running Xubuntu 14.10 64bit at the moment until the next release of elementry OS. [13:06] ah you like elementary? [13:07] i think its quite lekker [13:08] I'll tell a little more about myself, let me know if I talk too much as I am unsure what you specifically meant by your question. I'm from the Western Cape, just finished matric, so now I'm taking a gap-year to decide what I want to study. I was going to do a internship at a computer security company this year, when I applied I received very promising feedback, yet it seems I made my decision to join them a day or two too late [13:08] as the position was already taken. [13:08] aw [13:09] shop around you might find another one [13:10] or join our mailing list and ask if there is anything going with all them peeps [13:11] http://bit.ly/MCOujZ [13:11] and then theres hetzner that takes interns as well i think [13:13] There's another company that I should still contact that might take me in, they are more hardware based. I am a electronics hobbyist and recreational programmer. I love working with embedded systems, such as Texas-instrument's 16bit MSP430 series, I also design and do circuit board layout. [13:14] As for what my plans of studying are after the gap-year, I recently discovered UCT's "computer engineering" program that seems to have interesting subjects. [13:15] I'm on a few mailing lists such as the Cape Town python user group, Stellenbosch Linux user group and OWASP [13:19] cool [13:40] and where is a ububuntu list [13:40] hmm... [13:42] everyday there is someone here that needs help [13:42] namely me [13:44] I'll try, what seems to be the problem today? [13:49] today im ok too tired to fight things [13:51] magespawn you winning? [13:52] you supposed to greet new peeps when im asleep [13:53] Maaz coffee on [13:53] * Maaz washes some mugs [13:53] Kilos: you don't have to fight [13:53] hi thoquz [13:54] welcome to #ubuntu-za [13:54] Thanks inetpro [13:56] thoquz he is one of our big guns here [13:57] cant program or anything he says but fixes everything [13:57] Kilos: don't come with stories now [13:57] Coffee's ready for Kilos! [13:57] Maaz ty [13:57] You are welcome Kilos [13:58] So I'm guessing you're a sysadmin? Are you two employed by the same company? [13:58] no [13:58] oh inetpro i seem to somehow have lost all my saved stuff on nikola and the bazaar thing [13:58] Kilos: you see [13:59] * inetpro told him he needed a backup strategy [13:59] ya the backup thing [13:59] no man i saved it somewhere and forgot where [13:59] Kilos: you have a folder called ~/Projects ? [13:59] oh ya [14:00] and should be a file for nikola and bzh or m or whatever [14:00] maybe i was on another drive [14:00] bzr? [14:01] bad head day [14:01] ai! Sorry oom [14:01] thoquz: just stick around and try to help where you can and you'll make it far [14:02] inetpro keep ears open for a job for him [14:02] Yeah, at the moment the conversation seems to lack context so I'm a bit confused at all the references to names. [14:03] there were some with the dbnlug peeps but they wanted experienced peeps with programming stuff as well too [14:04] wb b ushyou hopping again [14:04] ai! [14:04] bushtech [14:07] ja Kilos ?

[14:09] inetpro did you see my speed [14:09] we haven't had major stuff going on for a long time, perhaps time to turn things around this year [14:09] Kilos: yes [14:09] does your 4g beat it? [14:09] Kilos: yes [14:09] oh wow [14:11] Kilos: actually no, my bast was 24 [14:11] best* [14:12] 24?

[14:35] Yeah, I use git [14:35] cool [14:36] some people still prefer bzr over git [14:39] Yeah, I'm pretty neutral to software choices, I'll use the first thing that works, if someone requires me to use another tool for the job I won't mind unless it requires a major time investment, I'm getting tired of software wars causing stagnation and preventing innovation.

Just cannot mount the nfs share..... [18:26] captine: NFS is WAY easier than SMB, what's your issue? [18:26] i have a openmediavault server with an nfs share... trying to mount it times out... [18:26] the smb works no prob [18:26] i will spend some time in the future to sort it. Just trying to organize the folders for now [18:26] so smb will be ok [18:27] I beleive NFS works much better for network drops etc... [18:27] which will be what i need it for :) [18:34] night all. sleep tight. see ya tomorrow [18:36] Goodnight [18:38] captine: I could never get SMB working properly [18:38] captine: NFS, on the other hand, was simple [18:39] :). seems to be the other way for me. The shares on on a web frontend of openmediavault (debian based distro). Unity just browses the network and mounts the folder when i click it. [18:39] no command line at the moment [18:39] needed [20:33] right bed time, good night all
