Symmetriasup06:21
Kiloshi Padroni  Symmetria  06:21
Padronihi Kilos Symmetria06:21
Symmetrialol, so, I'm moderating a panel today infront of 800 people06:22
Symmetriaon IT security06:22
Symmetriaand have been handed a dream set of panelists that are just WIDE open for me to ask tough contraversial questions06:22
Symmetrialol the put a microsoft dev lead on the panel.... heh, I warned him this wasnt gonna be easy on him06:23
PadroniSounds like something I would love to see06:26
Symmetriaheh, padroni anyone who knows me knows that its a very dangerous thing to put me as moderator on a panel like this, because for me, a panel that has contraversy and arguments is remebered 06:27
Symmetriaa panel where everyne just chats and agrees is forgotten06:27
Padronitrue that06:27
Symmetriaso I go in there and prepare questions designed to hit below the belt, make people think very carefully before they answer what I say (because half the time my questions are such that I can predict which way the answer is going to go and have a follow up question thats designed to trip them up)06:28
SymmetriaLike "Lets talk about critical infrastructure in a country, what should be classified as critical infrastructure in terms of IT"06:28
Symmetriaand I can guarantee the guy is going to say "All the infrastrucutre of the incumbent mobile provider06:28
Symmetriaat which point Im going to say "Is it not a better idea to force, via regulation, that the incumbent be split into multiple entities to reduce the risk factor of all eggs in one basket"06:29
Symmetria:P and watch all hell break out06:29
Symmetria(right before the CEO of the incumbent mobile provider shoots me) lol06:30

PadroniOne of these days, a bike swerving through traffic between cars, while driving on the white line, will knock my car. And you will see me on the 20H00 news...07:58
PadroniBecause I will be the one arrested for beating a biker to death with his helmet.07:59
Kiloslol07:59
Kilosgmail decides to spam odd mails08:59
Kiloswwk original is spam in its eyes08:59
SilverCodewhy the hell is za.archive.ubuntu.com resolving to an IP in Kenya09:19
Kilosbecause the local mirrors are sick09:20
Kilosso we got them pointed to Symmetria  09:20
SilverCodeok, because the server I'm getting i sincorectly configured09:21
Kilosshout at Symmetria  09:22
Kilosuse the neology one so long it works great09:22
Kilosand always up to date09:23
SilverCodewhat is the "closest" to a Neotel Fibre connection?09:24
Kilos?09:24
SilverCodeleast number of hops between exiting neotel and getting to the server09:25
SilverCodebut I suppose there are only 3 choices, and 1 of them is broken and the other is Telkom09:25
SilverCodeso Neology it is09:25
Kilosi just use the link in update manager09:25
Kilosneology is nice and fast09:26
Kilosyou could also get update manager to search for the best site for you but ive had no hassles from neology09:27
Kilosone of the guys thats here or visits here works there too09:27

Kiloswe catch him on the way past14:50
Kiloshmm...17:20
Kilosinetpro  jy siek?17:57
magespawngood evening18:30
Kiloshi magespawn  18:30
Kilossorry i missed you this avy18:30
magespawnno worries18:31
Kilosall ok there lad?18:31
Kiloshi clr_  18:32
clr_Hi Kilos, you never disappoint with a 'hi'18:33
Kiloslol18:33
clr_can anyone help me with a windows licensing issue?18:33
Kilossjoe18:33
Kiloswhat kind of issue18:34
clr_I have a 8.1 OEM license that that I got with my laptop18:34
clr_this license allows me to run it as the host, or as a virtual machine on the same box18:34
clr_it also allows me to run it as win7 as host (in case I wanted to downgrade)18:35
clr_Thing is, I want to run it as Win7 guest in virtualbox on my linux18:35
clr_Any takers?18:37
Kilosclr_  have you asked on #windows18:38
Kilosalso why you want to run 7 not 818:38
clr_hey, did you note the 'linux' reference on my last sentence?18:38
Kilosive just made an 8 work with the traditional start button18:38
Kilosyes i did18:38
kulelu88windows 8 is kaka firstly18:38
Kilosi dont know enough about that os to comment18:39
clr_so I figured we linux guys have this problem, where you need to run your windows (that you got with your laptop) as a guest, once you replaced the os with ubuntu18:39
clr_so I thought this the ideal place to ask the question18:40
Kiloslol18:40
Kiloskulelu88  help him18:40
magespawnback again18:43
Kiloswb magespawn  18:45
Kilosclr_  ask magespawn  he plays with windows all day18:45
kulelu88clr_: I dual boot mine just to keep the windows on it18:46
magespawnmore than i would like to admit18:46
kulelu88clr_: Unless it is a work laptop, what can microsoft do to enforce that you NOT use your legitimate copy of windows on the SAME laptop in a virtualbox? 18:47
kulelu88Kinda like Builders Warehouse trying to enforce who from my family can use the hammer I BOUGHT18:48
Kiloslol18:48
magespawnthere are no unusual restrictions when using windows in a virtual box, the same as applies to bare metal machines18:48
kulelu88Kudos to you for respecting the law and the license though, clr_ 18:49
magespawnin fact one of the versions comes with a virtual license for xp, i think it is 7 but it might be 818:50
clr_well, just that I had to phone a few times when I can't activate the copy of windows18:52
clr_and it is irritating when it stops working18:52
clr_Haven't you had a copy of windows stop working because it has not been activated?18:53
clr_Unfortunately I am also one of those that have to use windows during the day18:55
kulelu88clr_: dual-boot instead of Virtualbox18:55
kulelu88dual-booting gives you the full machines power also18:56
Kilosya i think dual boot is the best18:56
clr_No, I like the fact that I can snapshot my windows18:56
Kiloslol18:56
kulelu88well we did try18:56
clr_And if you have many clients, you can have one 'desktop' for the one and another for the other (different snapshots)18:57
clr_so if they want to install their crap on it, it does not affect the other18:57
Kilosah18:57
Kiloswhat do the win peeps say about it18:57
Kilosthe prob is actually from them not letting it activate not so?18:58
clr_I did post also on mybroadband, will see what reply I get18:58
clr_yes, I am sure I can run it as a win8.1 virtual machine, but that is not what I want. I would prefer it to run as a win7 virtual machine.19:00
kulelu88so download the win7 packages, burn it onto a disk or .iso image and use that as your virtual machine19:01
clr_@kulelu88, that sounds interesting, how do you do that?19:02
kulelu88the way i backed up windows is by following some tool of theirs that allows you to back the system files into a few disks. I used about 2/3 DVDs19:03
Kilosyou dont need @ here clr_  19:03
Kilosohi superfly  19:04
superflyhi19:05
clr_ok thanks for the input, enough of this windows nonsense in any case19:06
Kiloslol19:06
kulelu88superfly: how long would it take you to build a Python MVP for a basic CRUD-style application and how much code-reuse do you use?19:10
magespawnclr_:  if you keep the machine date and time fixed the 30 days never runs out19:10
superflykulelu88: how long is a piece of string?19:10
magespawnlol19:10
Kiloslol19:10
kulelu88well that answer was in poor taste19:11
superflykulelu88: hardly. the devil is in the details.19:11
kulelu88I was expecting a realistic estimate for someone with your skills. Either 1 month or more19:11
clr_magespawn haha, have you tried that?19:12
superflykulelu88: it depends on what technologies I'm using, what tables are involved, and a few other variables that would need to be pinned down.19:12
superflykulelu88: I know you can put something CRUDdy together with Django in a few hours, but then it's cruddy.19:13
kulelu88superfly: so you spend quite a bit of time planning?19:13
magespawnyes, one of my old pc's had a bios problem that as soon as it was powered off, it would reset the date and time19:13
magespawnplas havoc with things like antivirus though19:13
superflykulelu88: enough to get a good estimate of how much work is involved19:13
kulelu88superfly: is that a soft-skill that can only be taught with experience?19:14
superflypretty much19:14
superflyand developers are notoriously bad at estimations19:14
kulelu88I am trying to estimate a bunch a projects I want to work on, but I yak shave thinking too much about it19:14
superfly(project managers are worse)19:14
superflyhehe, I know where you're coming from19:14
superflykulelu88: at work we prefer to take a more long-term approach19:15
superflybreak what you want to do down into small features, and then estimate each feature 19:15
superflywe do JIT planning ;-)19:15
superflyWhich is why I like Trello for my personal stuff. It's easy to break stuff down and make todo lists from it. Then move stories through a pipeline of sorts (To Do, Doing, Done)19:17
clr_magespawn, also calender apps are pretty useless and so on19:17
magespawnyup19:17
kulelu88superfly: are you familiar with a developer issue of premature optimization (like: don't use Python if Go can give me better performance)19:17
superflyyup19:17
kulelu88it kills me when I read up about those languages, even though python is my go-to, I feel like I am screwing myself over19:18
superflykulelu88: the reality is that Python is fast enough19:22
kulelu88for basic scaling, right? superfly 19:23
superflykulelu88: and how long is it going to take you to learn and become proficient in Go?19:23
kulelu88about less time than it will take to optimize something in Python19:23
superflykulelu88: for almost anything19:23
superflykulelu88: no, it will take more.19:23
kulelu88oh yes, sorry, I meant more19:23
kulelu88got my comparison backwards :( :D19:24
superfly:-)19:24
kulelu88superfly: with your experience, would you use any tools to help you build Android apps?19:25
superflyIt took me 2 years to become really proficient in Python, and 2 years to really understand Google App Engine.19:25
magespawnhah now i am not feeling too bad19:25
superflykulelu88: uh, I'd probably stick with Android Studio and Java19:26
kulelu88Python really is amazing. I didn't write code for sometime and quickly spun up a script in 2 hours that helped a lot19:26
superflyI know Java well enough, and with it being the language and system of choice on Android, I'll be better able to get things working if I stick with what everyone else is using.19:26
kulelu88what about app-builders that generate Java code?19:27
superflyToo true19:27
superflyI'm not fond of those.19:27
kulelu88You raise some awesome points. Finding the perfect tool will just be yak shaving. I'll just put Android in a Docker container and build an app from code-snippets19:30
superflykulelu88: Stack Overflow-driven Development ;-)19:40
kulelu88superfly: somehow, somebody else has always asked "that" question19:41
inetprogood evening19:43
inetproKilos: no19:43
Kilosyay19:43
superfly"Finding the perfect tool will just be yak shaving" -- perfectly said19:43
kulelu88what are you working on currently? superfly 19:44
superflyAs in, at this minute, or as in "in general"?19:45
kulelu88in general19:45
kulelu88maybe a SaaS or something open source, etc.19:46
superflyI've got a pet project that uses Flask, App Engine, AngularJS and Bootstrap. Nothing to show yet.19:46
superflyI'm always working on OpenLP19:46
kulelu88NLP software?19:46
superflyNo, lyrics projection. Gives a church with a data projector the ability to show their songs, Bible verses, etc. on the projector, with a management console on the PC19:47
superflyThen I'm also trying to guide the direction of the Ubuntu-ZA and Ubuntu-Africa sites19:48
magespawnand the other full time job19:48
superflyAnd, I'm involved with DebConf1619:48
Kilosbut whip too small19:48
superflyoh, yes, and Nomanini during business hours.19:48
magespawnthe family19:48
superflymagespawn: in between everything else.19:49
magespawnand not to mention the little things like sleep19:49
superflykulelu88: AngularJS + Flask = WIN19:49
kulelu88superfly: I applied for a job once using Angular + Flask. Then the COO/C-something-O hit me with a Google-fu question and told me to eff off (in symbolic terms) :D19:50
magespawnhi inetpro 19:51
inetprooh hi magespawn19:51
Kilosinetpro  moppie drop ons19:52
kulelu88I really wanted to work for a startup as a coder, but ahh well, found greener pastures doing nicer work19:52
superflyI don't mind what company I work for, as long as (a) they pay me enough to support my family, and (b) people are willing to listen to me19:55
magespawni am off to bed, good night all19:56
Kilosnight magespawn  19:56
kulelu88is the commute bad for you? superfly 19:58
superflykulelu88: depends on your definition of "bad" - mine is 45 minutes on the train, but I don't mind it. I get a chance to relax, sleep, play Ingress.20:00
kulelu8890 minutes each day?20:01
superflyyeah20:02
kulelu88my commute is 30 seconds :D20:02
Kiloslol20:02
Kilosfall out of bed and you at work20:03
Kilosnight all, sleep tight20:05
superflykulelu88: I can't work at home. I'd be interrupted the whole time.21:00
superflyAlso, we use Agile and XP, so being at the office with the others is very necessary. It also helps me concentrate.21:00
kulelu88that's whats happening these days superfly 21:01
superflykulelu88: in some circles, not everywhere21:02
superflyanyway, merge proposal in, bed time for me.21:03
