Cryterionbut that was web based one14:00
inetprojust find an area that goes off in the same group as yours14:00
Kilosill rely on pro to keep me informed about load shedding14:00
inetproKilos: you can never rely on inetpro14:01
* inetpro is cosistently inconsistent14:01
Kilosoh i know him better than you14:01
CryterionHe's always watching, but doesn't always reply!!!!!14:01

Kilosaha hibana  wb14:04
* Cryterion wonders how true the No Load Shedding Status is14:04
Kilosplease keep inetpro  in order14:04
* Cryterion puts inetpro in order14:04
* hibana tries very hard14:05
KilosCryterion  you only know for sure when the lights go out14:05
Cryterionyeah14:05
KilosCryterion  do you know hibana  ?14:05
CryterionNot yet, Hi hibana14:05
inetproCryterion: see http://loadshedding.eskom.co.za/ and http://www.poweralert.co.za/poweralert5/index.php?location=online14:06
Kiloshe is one of the first , alongside fly to invite and help me here14:06
hibanahi Cryterion 14:06
CryterionI know the first one14:06
inetproWarning: Electricity usage is too high. Reduce your electricity usage now. Switch off all lights you don't need, the geyser, pool pump and all non-essential appliances.14:07
CryterionNice graph they have on poweralert14:07
Kilossjoe and the sun isnt even down yet14:08
inetprothe graph turns black when there is loadshedding14:08
Cryterionlol14:12
* hibana goes back to sleep mode14:12
Kilosty hibana  14:13
MaNII think most people interpret that as "Warning: we are going to shed you later on, so turn on everything you can right now so that you can get things done wihle you still have power"14:13
Kiloslol14:13
inetproMaNI: what's the solution?14:15
MaNIthat whole power usage warning thing is anyway just a propaganda tool to try make people feel like they are somehow to blame for this mess14:15
inetproai!14:15
Kiloshahaha14:15
MaNIthe proper solution is probably a good old fashioned riot followed by some beheadings :/14:16
inetproeish!14:17
Kiloslol14:17
MaNIfrench revolution style14:17
Kilosshorten them a little14:17
MaNIput zuma in his fire pool and see if he can swim14:17
Kiloslouis 1614:17
Kilos178914:18
MaNIshort of that, start producing your own power :p14:18
MaNIits what everyone who can afford to will do14:18
inetprowish it was that simple14:18
CryterionRead one I'm trying to find again where it says solar panels are depleting the sun of energy14:19
Kiloslol14:19
inetprosjoe14:19
MaNIheh, good it will combat global warming then :p14:20
Cryterionhttp://nationalreport.net/solar-panels-drain-suns-energy-experts-say/14:21
MaNIwas half expecting the onion14:21
MaNISeriously though I wonder if Eskom haven't already triggered an avalanche that can't be stopped. Small amount of customers paying the bills for larger amount of customers, increase prices, some of the paying customers jump ship to solar, increase prices more, more customers jump ship etc. eventually they won't have any 'rich' customers to subsidize the poor ones14:22
Kiloswhat a lot of balderdash14:22
CryterionBut it does deplete the sun, the sun will deplete anyway even if we don't capture the energy14:23
Kiloscorrect14:23
Kilosthe rays they catch left the sun a loooong time ago14:24
CryterionThat link wasn't the one I was looking for, a hoax, but funny in it's own right, as it declare in like 50years14:24
inetproMaNI: serious snowball consequences 14:25
CryterionApprox 8mins Kilos14:26
Kiloshowever long it left there, and at what speed14:26
Kilosit left on its own, not by attraction from us14:27
Cryteriontrue14:27
MaNIif light behaves like an electric circuit it could have some merit, but I have my doubts :p14:28
CryterionIf all nuclear weapons on the planet went off together, it would nothing compared to a SME14:28
Kiloswould hurt a bit though14:29
CryterionLight is an energy14:29
CryterionYip14:29
inetproKilos: it takes sunlight an average of 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to Earth14:31
Kilosspeed?14:31
Kilosvery fast imo14:31
Kilosis it light speed or more14:31
MaNIlol14:32
inetprowhat is it that provides energy to solar panels?14:37
Kiloslight14:37
Kilosi8m sure your can drive them with strong lamps14:37
Kilosi am14:37
Cryterionhttp://www.liberaltimes.com.au/2014/09/abbott-warns-solar-power-will-destroy-sun/14:38
Cryterionthere it is14:38
MaNIlol14:38
Kilosand these kinds of peeps lead govts14:39

inetproThis alarming electricity graph should worry all South Africans http://mybroadband.co.za/news/energy/128976-this-alarming-electricity-graph-should-worry-all-south-africans.html19:17
MaNImm19:18
MaNIhope my panels arrive in time :p19:18
inetproin a way confirming what you said this afternoon19:19
MaNI"Yelland said Eskom’s poor communication with the public and customers and the reduction in operational transparency is worrying." - indeed, this is what worries me the most, instead of acting like adults and being open about the problem they keep making crazy promises and geting caught in lies19:20
MaNII mean what insanity possessed them to try claim there would be no load shedding this winter19:21
magespawnwhen did they say that?19:32
MaNIa few weeks ago19:34
magespawnhmm one would have thought that people would learn to just keep their mouths shut19:35
MaNIyeah19:35
MaNIcrises management step 1, lower peoples expectations and then over deliver19:35
MaNIregain trust, don't dig the hole even deeper :p19:35
magespawnif you find yourself in a hole, stop digging, not dig faster19:36
magespawnso basically the demand has gone down, and eskom still can't keep up19:40
magespawnand now they want to tell us less about what is happening19:40
magespawnanimal farm, 1984, and anything else that i cannot think of at the moment19:41
MaNIyeah, we are producing less power than we were 5 years ago, this is the worst part of it all :p19:45
magespawnjust read this too http://mybroadband.co.za/news/energy/128218-your-10-questions-on-eskom-answered.html19:45
