[09:59] yessir [09:59] sharpeys [10:00] Ah... I thought this might be you: http://twitter.com/rikergoogling [10:00] haha [10:00] hey stickyboy you got sites [10:01] im trying to get google to find the ubuntu africa site quicker when peeps type in ubuntu africa [10:02] Kilos: Ah. [10:02] Yeah... you need what the industry calls Search Engine Optimization (SEO). [10:03] can you add this in somewhere [10:03] Ubuntu Africa [10:04] that SEO thing is too much for me to do, so adding that will help from other sides i think [10:06] Yeah, SEO gets a bit much. I hate the term "SEO" like I hate the term "Cloud". [10:06] But never the less, you need to add your site to Google Webmaster Tools, that helps a lot. [10:09] add that command from a couple of your sites for us stickyboy lets see what happens [10:13] It's already on my blog and Nairobi LUG blog. :P [10:13] not enough [10:14] it also helps if people can link from their blog/lug sites to the ubuntu-africa site [10:15] although how much that helps i am not sure [10:15] well if we all do it , things can only get better [10:46] what is the code name for the latest version of ubuntu? [10:48] Vivid Vervet [10:49] hmm something close to home then [10:55] I had to google now to see what a vervet is :P [10:55] haha [10:55] I wonder what they gonna do when the alphabet reach the end [10:56] Start at a again ? [10:56] start from A again [10:56] start again? [10:56] lol [10:56] I bet z will be Zebra hehehehe [10:56] zany zebra [10:56] yeah , that sounds kewl ! [10:58] Zigging Zebra [10:58] Zapped Zebra [10:58] zealous zebra [11:00] that sounds more inline with the other names [11:07] i go eat now [11:28] i would like something like zealous zorro [11:28] zorro isnt an animal [11:33] maaz google zorro animal [11:34] pieter2627: "Vulpini - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre" http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulpini :: "Características de los zorros | ZORROPEDIA" http://www.zorropedia.com/caracteristicas-zorros/ :: "zorro - significado de zorro diccionario" http://es.thefreedictionary.com/zorro :: "Small-eared Zorro Printout- EnchantedLearning.com" [11:34] http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/mammals/fox/Smallearedzorro.shtml :: "Cute Animal Patagonian Fox / Zorro Patagonic… [11:34] ah its a kinda fox [11:34] jip [11:35] pieter2627 do you have time to run an ubuntu hour sometime [11:35] spanish for fox or something [11:35] yeah [11:37] doubt it, what is an ubuntu hour btw? [11:37] one goes to a coffee shop or something and demonstrates ubuntu to peeps [11:38] there is a mail from the fly this morning saying what that chick in the usa does [11:38] there used to be one every month in the cape and a few in jozi [11:39] oh, my daily digest has not arrived yet. [11:39] lol [11:39] * pieter2627 didn't mean to say something funny [11:40] ya man its just the idea of a whole days mail at once [11:40] you did mean a mail on the mailing list :) [11:40] i wouldnt keep up [11:40] yes [11:40] oow, i see [11:40] our list [11:46] its hard to find peeps that can do it monthly [11:51] maybe one should rather try to get peeps to fill in monthly? [11:52] i think most of the guys would but work keeps them busy [11:52] * pieter2627 thinks so too [11:53] only times us za peeps might manage is weekends i think [11:53] then its hard for family guys [11:54] would be cool if we could get some high school kids on our side [11:54] they love hanging out in malls [11:54] yea it would, but i would feel sorry for them [11:54] why? [11:56] cause they will learn to much and might find IT at school boring if they have it as a subject - it is how i felt [11:56] ah [11:56] boring to the point of frustrating [11:56] there surely must be some anyway because all kids today have laptops and tablets [11:57] they cant all be drag and drop peeps like me [11:58] haha, they are seek and drop :p [11:58] lol [11:58] read how much this girl does http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2015/04/08/interview-with-elizabeth-k-joseph-of-the-ubuntu-community-council/ [11:58] ok [11:58] we lag far behind [11:59] ok to me she is a girl still [12:00] ah i almost felt really young [12:00] lol [12:34] the topic about the ubuntu hour in the mail list is interesting - what is the experience of the guys that used to attend one in the past? [12:34] meaning sa guys [12:43] there are a few that have done them [12:43] Maia used to be the kingpin [12:43] Bye everyone , have a nice evening [12:44] there were pretty cakes and everything for release parties and so on [12:44] i wonder where all those pictures are [12:45] pro can find stuffs when he isnt just lurking [12:48] and they used to sit and chat to us here while things were happening [12:56] ah ok [12:56] oh joy load shedding at 18:00-20:30 [12:57] worst damn slot [12:57] ai! [12:57] no sende laan [12:57] 7de [12:57] kids enjoy bathing by candlelight at least they think its hilarious [12:57] lol [13:18] shiit [13:25] I just can't find a tablet with an IR blaster :( [13:56] brb === magespaw1 is now known as magespawn [14:01] back [14:01] wb magespawn [14:01] Kilos: i only saw your pm now [14:01] ok [14:13] hmm... [14:57] * Padroni greets the room [14:58] good bye people [14:58] see you tomorrow [14:59] goodbye [14:59] '-'/ [14:59] Kilos check your pvt [15:05] hi Cantide [15:05] hello '-';;; [15:05] i'll be afk for a bit.. [15:06] maybe 30 minutes .-. [15:06] ok [16:29] good evening [16:30] hi magespawn [16:31] Kilos have you ever tried any other linux distro? like CentOS or suse? [16:32] yes centos sucks for me [16:32] why? [16:32] i also tried tinycore which was nice but more learning [16:32] i did centos for the lpi course we were going to do [16:33] Suse sucks.. CentOS, Fedora, Arch, Slackware, Gentoo & Debian are cool.. But I use only Ubuntu ;D [16:33] most of the certifications seem to be based on red hat or other rpm based distros like centos [16:33] but i struggle remembering all the different commands [16:34] and centos could even see my modem [16:34] yeah [16:35] magespawn, CentOS & Fedora are RHEL :D Redhat usually uses them to try new features before integrated them to RHEL :) [16:35] going to be doing a dual boot maybe, or i might just remove xubuntu for a bit [16:36] elacheche now you just need to upgrade to kubuntu [16:37] * Kilos ducks [16:39] L00L Kilos :D I have KDE :D I have fancy GUI :D I like minimal things :D I crated my OWN Mate Ubuntu before they make it a distro :D → Backto 2012 I installed Ubuntu like it was a server (only cli) then I installed Mate on it.. And I'm in my way to a more minimalist OS, I use AWESOME WM in my laptop for more then year now.. [16:39] I HATE fancy GUI [16:39] Kilos: it is always a good to learn new things [16:40] yes magespawn for peeps that can remember stuff [16:40] for what i do , kde rocks [16:40] that is what a pen and paper is for [16:40] kde is very nice [16:40] For what I do, KDE is a waste of hardware resources :D [16:41] elacheche nothing wears out [16:41] i am tending to find that too [16:41] kde is heavy yes but once you used it for a few months other systems just dont offer as much [16:42] only 2 things i need, a good ups and an ssd then im happy [16:43] :FD [16:43] :D [16:47] dinner time [16:56] back [16:57] that was good [16:57] lol [16:57] good evening [16:57] hi inetpro [16:57] magespawn: what did you have for dinner? [16:58] greek salad and 2 baked potatoes [16:58] eish [16:58] hmm... he's a vegetarian? [16:58] no meat? [16:59] not tonight, helps control the cholestorol [16:59] eish [17:00] ai! [17:01] an eish and an ai, what now/ [17:02] * inetpro won't survive on that [17:02] fix the cholestorol [17:02] it sounds healthy though [17:02] lol [17:02] genetically inhereited Kilos [17:02] ill rather eat a peanut butter sarmy [17:03] sorry magespawn [17:03] nothing too it really, just means i have to watch what i eat, not a bad thing really [17:05] Maaz: Kilos ++ [rather eat a peanut butter sarmy than just eating a salad] [17:06] not good to eat big heavy things before going to bed, not that a peanut sarmy qualifies as that [17:06] i think lotsa UV's help lower cholesterol [17:06] and raw onions and lentils [17:06] yes there are a lot of things that help [17:06] fish too [17:07] i love fish but its become rather pricey [17:07] an egg a day is good for you [17:07] i go eat [17:07] wbb [17:13] o/ [17:15] hey gremble [17:17] How are you magespawn? [17:17] good and you? [17:17] I am well thank you [17:25] hi there gremble [17:25] Hey Kilos. For a moment thought you were sleeping [17:25] :P [17:26] lol i was eating, and not salad [17:26] Salad is healthy though [17:27] yes we have often but with a meal [17:27] lekker at a braai as well [17:27] Braaiing a salad is not nice though [17:27] lol [17:28] that isnt a good mathematic deduction [17:28] Nope. It's part of the "duh" knowledge system [17:28] haha [17:29] we could use some more of that in this country [17:29] more duh knowlege? [17:30] dge too [17:31] I second that notion [17:31] And less selfishness [17:32] yip [17:32] ohi superfly [18:01] load shedding, good night all [18:02] ai! [18:07] Maaz announce 7 Days to our next monthly meeting guys and gals [18:07] Hear ye, hear ye! 7 Days to our next monthly meeting guys and gals [18:10] Maaz announce tea is far superiour to coffee [18:10] Hear ye, hear ye! tea is far superiour to coffee [18:11] Maaz coffee on [18:11] * Maaz flips the salt-timer [18:11] * Kilos sniggers [18:15] This is Africa [18:15] TIA? [18:15] Until now. Lights are back [18:15] Coffee's ready for Kilos! [18:15] ai tog! [18:16] shedding the load here now [18:16] wat nou inetpro [18:16] ai! [18:16] This was more like "we're testing out what total blackout feels like" [18:18] the yolk of an egg is bad for the heart [18:18] So is the powder of cocaine [18:18] and rat poison [18:18] gremble: can you charge your electronics at the big generators on hatfield campus? [18:19] Well, not at the generators, but at the plugs attached to them, sure [18:19] There is even wifi on campus [18:19] free pron? [18:19] when loadshedding hits, tuks don't feel it [18:19] I guess [18:20] is it free free or do you need to register your device? [18:20] free if your device is eduroam registered [18:20] But for that you have to be affiliated with an eduroam institution [18:20] like uP [18:20] so I guess not [18:20] :P [18:21] do you still get those people hanging a rope between 2 trees and walking on it? [18:21] Haven't seen them in a very long time [18:22] They were everywhere in first year [18:22] hopefully they graduated [18:22] I think they either graduated or failed out :P [18:22] It's called slack-lining [18:22] they reckon 50% of first years drop out of varsity [18:22] It is quite difficult. I have fallen on my balls a few times doing that [18:23] did it at least tickle your sack? [18:23] lol [18:23] hi pieter2627 [18:23] tickling is not the word that I would use [18:24] the good old days of no worries, women wearing hardly any clothes and drugs and booze all over [18:25] Haha [18:25] Sounds like you had a good time :P [18:25] No, twasnt me. I'm on IRC ftw. The most dangerous things we did was use the varsity PCs as a LAN for CS [18:26] Haha xD Which ones? Informatorium? [18:26] those were the least dirty [18:27] Ya, because only the privileged few are allowed to use those [18:27] you are 1 of them [18:27] I need to go find out where I can beg for a linux account there [18:27] Carry Kaali on a flash and you're good [18:27] Yes, but only windows machines [18:27] hi Kilos [18:27] I have WST so I get to code in SAS [18:27] Just make sure you avoid the rooms with cameras [18:27] :'( [18:28] Did Basson take you first year? [18:29] Dr Basson? Numerical Analysis? [18:30] it was an old woman with short hair [18:30] No idea who that is, so I guess not :P [18:30] Which COS did you do? [18:31] 132, 151, 110, 121 I think [18:32] 110 and 121 were the rape modules [18:32] I heard of guys doing 110 in 2010 and still doing it in 2012 :D [18:32] I did not do the 110 project so they failed me, even though I got 92 and 98 for the two semester tests [18:33] so you're a C++ legend [18:33] I think I'd still fail varsity CS [18:33] 121 was alright when I stopped being lazy and actually spent some time learning why there are certain archetypes [18:33] I'm not wired like a programmer :( [18:33] 121 was the most valuable subject for me out of all of those [18:34] Taught be to think about what I am trying to do [18:34] sometimes I also think I am not either, and other times it just works [18:34] it only works in Python for me [18:34] It sucks because I feel extremely flaky [18:35] They'll be 1 of the last varsities to teach programming in Python [18:35] anti-OS cunts [18:35] +D [18:36] If the algorithms course wasn't in Java, I would still be doing CS [18:36] they still teach Java????????? [18:36] Yup [18:36] Everything after first year C++ is Java [18:36] that's an epic fail [18:36] it is fucking weird [18:36] They don't even touch on functional programming [18:37] Oh. I shouldn't swear [18:37] Sorry [18:37] sounds more like a corporate java programmer sweatshop than a university [18:37] you can consider them as a feeder-varsity for soulless bank jobs [18:37] on the dot, MaNI [18:37] Pretty much [18:38] :x [18:38] I wonder if they will fail you for coding the software in a project in your own language [18:38] Type theory, Proof theory, Category theory... they touch on none of that [18:38] makes me feel less bad about my unisa experience [18:39] formal systems like lambda calculus? forget it [18:39] MaNI: Doesn't UNISA do C#? [18:39] I thought unisa sucked, but sounds better than this [18:39] kulelu88, not while I was there don't know about now [18:39] I think this is why UCT is winner in CS. they do Python and are more open to programming [18:39] languages I did at unisa in various courses pascal/delphi/c/c++/asm/prolog [18:39] *is the [18:40] but times may have changed :) [18:40] I worked myself into a stuper while doing CS first year. My girlfriend at the time would get so exhasperated with me, because I would be up doing projects until 4-5am haha [18:40] oh and java was in there somewhere as well [18:40] On that note, Delphi is now the only language they teach in high school [18:40] No more Java? [18:40] Borland must be excited. I can't think who else would buy licences :P [18:41] yeah, there was some cockup where the company behind the dying Delphi made a plan with the department [18:41] embarcardo you mean [18:41]
