Kilostswane does their own thing19:22
inetproKilos: no19:24
Kilos?19:24
inetproit all starts and ends with eskom 19:25
Kilosyes man but the tswane peeps decide which areas around here go off when19:25
inetproyes but if there's enough power then tshwane don't do the shedding19:26
Kiloseskom just tells them save so mauch at such a time19:26
inetproKilos: I never said you can see with this when they cut oom Kilos' farm from the grid19:27
Kiloshahaha19:27
Kiloswell thats what is important to me19:27

Kiloswb Cryterion`hiding  19:30
Kilosi go make a hot water bottle and go to bed19:31
Kilosnight all, sleep tight19:31
magespawngood evening19:33
inetprowb magespawn19:35
Cryterionhmm, that's looks better19:36
inetprowb Cryterion19:36
Cryteriontks Kilos19:36
Cryterionand inetpro19:37
inetproCryterion: he's gone19:37
Cryterionxchat fighting me19:37
Cryterionhmm, hadn't read further19:37
inetproCryterion: fight back and win19:39
magespawnCryterion: xchat? on windows?19:40
magespawnis kilos on load shedding?19:41
inetpromagespawn: no19:41
magespawnahh well thats good, probably just tired and cold then19:42
inetproyep, looks like it19:42
inetprooh and it looks like he's disappointed that he didn't get loadshedded this afternoon19:43
magespawndisappointed? that does not make sense really19:45
magespawni thought most people would be happy19:45
inetproexactly... but seems to me the city of Tshwane change in schedules has a very long tail19:47
inetpromany people still don't get it that things have changed19:48
magespawnthe uncertainty can be more of a problem for some19:48
inetproand just when they think they figured it out there's no loadshedding at all to start with19:49
magespawnyou can't refer straight to the eskom website?19:51
inetpromagespawn: the best starting place is probably http://loadshedding.eskom.co.za/19:54
inetprobut I find following @Eskom_SA quite useful19:55
inetprohave it set to notify me on my mobile whenever there's a tweet19:55
magespawnapparently there is a load sheeding app that is quite good19:59
magespawnshedding too19:59
MaNII've heard people say that the gridwatch ap is decent, and others that 'eskom se push' is great19:59
magespawni think gridwatch is the one i was told about20:00

georgelappieshi all20:16
smileHi :)20:17
magespawnhi smile georgelappies 20:21
* inetpro installed gridwatch 20:21
inetprothanks magespawn20:21
smileHi georgelappies 20:21
smileI count on you for spreading the word about Translate Now: http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/translate-now20:23
smile:-D20:23
smileMy first ever restartless addon :)20:24
inetprosmile: nice one, thanks 20:28
inetprocould be very useful20:28
inetprosimple and easy to use20:29
smileIt is. Its based on the concept of an earlier addon but that one doesnt really work well. You cant configure the languages over there20:30
smileMade in one day! :)20:30
smilePlease spread the word20:31
magespawnnice smile20:37
magespawnwhat is the difference between an app that needs to be restarted and one that doesn't? besides the obvious20:39
smileA restartless one can be sandboxed, one with restart is easier to make and can be well integrated.20:40
smileRestartless extensions are cool but face a lot of security restrictions20:41
magespawni see, so the restartless one is better for the user20:41
smileIn theory. If they miss handy features because of security restrictions I begin to doubt that though ;-)20:43
smileAlso, restartless extensions have a better testing framework20:44
magespawncool thanks20:44
smileIt would be nice if you could have the benefits of both methods.20:45
smileRestartless extensions are the best option for new development of course if you do not need hard stuff like shortcut keys20:47
inetprogood night everyone20:48
smileNight! :)20:50
