[13:58] even more important than emails these days [13:58] inetpro i wanted to know if it told peeps [13:58] Cryterion: do you have an Android phone? [13:58] i used the /away command here [13:58] Kilos: it doesn't [13:58] inetpro yeah why [13:58] Cryterion: install gridwatch [13:58] cant find where to show away in konversation [13:59] will check it out, last time I did, it gave me some area in the us [13:59] Cryterion: I don't use location based checking [14:00] but that was web based one [14:00] just find an area that goes off in the same group as yours [14:00] ill rely on pro to keep me informed about load shedding [14:01] Kilos: you can never rely on inetpro [14:01] * inetpro is cosistently inconsistent [14:01] oh i know him better than you [14:01] He's always watching, but doesn't always reply!!!!! [14:01] i have habana with the sjambok to call [14:01] lol [14:01] hibana [14:02] i live by bible rules [14:02] spare the rod and spoil the child [14:04] someone called my name? [14:04] aha hibana wb [14:04] * Cryterion wonders how true the No Load Shedding Status is [14:04] please keep inetpro in order [14:04] * Cryterion puts inetpro in order [14:05] * hibana tries very hard [14:05] Cryterion you only know for sure when the lights go out [14:05] yeah [14:05] Cryterion do you know hibana ? [14:05] Not yet, Hi hibana [14:06] Cryterion: see http://loadshedding.eskom.co.za/ and http://www.poweralert.co.za/poweralert5/index.php?location=online [14:06] he is one of the first , alongside fly to invite and help me here [14:06] hi Cryterion [14:06] I know the first one [14:07] Warning: 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] Nice graph they have on poweralert [14:08] sjoe and the sun isnt even down yet [14:08] the graph turns black when there is loadshedding [14:12] lol [14:12] * hibana goes back to sleep mode [14:13] ty hibana [14:13] I 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] lol [14:15] MaNI: what's the solution? [14:15] that whole power usage warning thing is anyway just a propaganda tool to try make people feel like they are somehow to blame for this mess [14:15] ai! [14:15] hahaha [14:16] the proper solution is probably a good old fashioned riot followed by some beheadings :/ [14:17] eish! [14:17] lol [14:17] french revolution style [14:17] shorten them a little [14:17] put zuma in his fire pool and see if he can swim [14:17] louis 16 [14:18] 1789 [14:18] short of that, start producing your own power :p [14:18] its what everyone who can afford to will do [14:18] wish it was that simple [14:19] Read one I'm trying to find again where it says solar panels are depleting the sun of energy [14:19] lol [14:19] sjoe [14:20] heh, good it will combat global warming then :p [14:21] http://nationalreport.net/solar-panels-drain-suns-energy-experts-say/ [14:21] was half expecting the onion [14:22] Seriously 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 ones [14:22] what a lot of balderdash [14:23] But it does deplete the sun, the sun will deplete anyway even if we don't capture the energy [14:23] correct [14:24] the rays they catch left the sun a loooong time ago [14:24] That link wasn't the one I was looking for, a hoax, but funny in it's own right, as it declare in like 50years [14:25] MaNI: serious snowball consequences [14:26] Approx 8mins Kilos [14:26] however long it left there, and at what speed [14:27] it left on its own, not by attraction from us [14:27] true [14:28] if light behaves like an electric circuit it could have some merit, but I have my doubts :p [14:28] If all nuclear weapons on the planet went off together, it would nothing compared to a SME [14:29] would hurt a bit though [14:29] Light is an energy [14:29] Yip [14:31] Kilos: it takes sunlight an average of 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to Earth [14:31] speed? [14:31] very fast imo [14:31] is it light speed or more [14:32] lol [14:37] what is it that provides energy to solar panels? [14:37] light [14:37] i8m sure your can drive them with strong lamps [14:37] i am [14:38] http://www.liberaltimes.com.au/2014/09/abbott-warns-solar-power-will-destroy-sun/ [14:38] there it is [14:38] lol [14:39] and these kinds of peeps lead govts [14:39] Kilos: light travels at approx 384000m/s (That being x-ray,gamma, uv, visible, and infrared [14:40] ty Cryterion [14:40] np [14:43] thats 384 ks per sec roght? [14:43] right [14:44] ks = km ? [14:44] ya [14:44] kays [14:44] ai! [14:44] thats 400 kilos per sec [14:45] nono rethink [14:45] no i think thats i [14:45] t [14:46] * Kilos must go ask my school for my money back [14:47] Kilos: 384,000 meters per second = 384 km per second [14:47] gremble: wb [14:47] Hey inetpro [14:47] He Kilos [14:47] hey* [14:48] oh ya i added the 20 secs [14:48] sigh [14:48] o/ everyone else [14:48] hi gremble [14:48] What are you measuring that goes that fast? [14:48] stupid head stole the 20 secs from 8 min 20 secs [14:48] ai! [14:48] light from sol [14:49] Is that what we are calling the sun now? [14:49] no man i did [14:49] dunno where it came from [14:49] :p [14:49] Sol is not incorrect. Just odd [14:49] hasnt it been called sol somewhere [14:50] 299792458 metres per second [14:50] They call the years on mars Sol [14:50] My mistake [14:50] that's light speed btw [14:50] I just know it as c [14:50] because I'm lazy [14:50] Days on Mars are called sol [14:50] Days, yes sorry [14:51] It's good that I am not an astronomer [14:51] Maaz google what is sol [14:51] Kilos: "Urban Dictionary: SOL" http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=SOL :: "What does SOL stand for? - Abbreviations.com" http://www.abbreviations.com/sol :: "SOL - Definition by AcronymFinder" http://www.acronymfinder.com/SOL.html :: "SOL - What does SOL stand for?" http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/SOL :: "Sol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" [14:51] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol :: "Standards of Learning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedi… [14:51] hahaha [14:52] Kilos: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Sol [14:52] "Latin name for the Sun" [14:52] ha i may be stupid but im not a fool [15:10] Maaz: Where is Curiosity [15:10] Cryterion: Erk, dunno [15:11] who is that?

[19:17] This alarming electricity graph should worry all South Africans http://mybroadband.co.za/news/energy/128976-this-alarming-electricity-graph-should-worry-all-south-africans.html [19:18] mm [19:18] hope my panels arrive in time :p [19:19] in a way confirming what you said this afternoon [19:20] "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 lies [19:21] I mean what insanity possessed them to try claim there would be no load shedding this winter [19:32] when did they say that? [19:34] a few weeks ago [19:35] hmm one would have thought that people would learn to just keep their mouths shut [19:35] yeah [19:35] crises management step 1, lower peoples expectations and then over deliver [19:35] regain trust, don't dig the hole even deeper :p [19:36] if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging, not dig faster [19:40] so basically the demand has gone down, and eskom still can't keep up [19:40] and now they want to tell us less about what is happening [19:41] animal farm, 1984, and anything else that i cannot think of at the moment [19:45] yeah, we are producing less power than we were 5 years ago, this is the worst part of it all :p [19:45] just read this too http://mybroadband.co.za/news/energy/128218-your-10-questions-on-eskom-answered.html [19:50] time for my bed, good night all [20:03] I should get a hobby that does not require electricity [20:03] :x === Cryterion`hiding is now known as Cryterion [20:05] http://www.biznews.com/thought-leaders/2015/06/01/andrew-donaldson-asking-rw-johnson-why-sa-only-has-two-years-left/ [20:06] add that to the eskom/gov bit [20:11] interesting [20:20] Night fellas [20:21] Hi :) [20:35] Heya smile [20:37] Hi :) [20:37] how you doing [20:37] Good :) you?
