melodiehello Kilos !19:22
Kiloshow are you melodie  , im good19:23
melodieI'm fine!19:23
Kilosgood19:24
melodieI have finished the work for a new flyer for my local services activity, and I will send it on monday to the printer19:24
Kilosnice19:25
Kilosdo you ever rest?19:25
melodiethanks to rafaellaguna who helped me figure out how to proceed for some steps in Inkscape19:25
melodieyes I rest when I sleep and before that I watch an episode or two of a series19:25
Kiloslol19:25
melodiethen I will have my flyers and distribute them around directly to people so I can get clients and earn some money (it's too short now!)19:26
Kiloswhat is the local services activity19:26
Kilosmoney is never enough19:26
melodieI don't earn any19:37
melodie:/19:37
melodieif I don't have a few clients19:37
Kilosnor do i my girl so dont feel too bad19:38
melodiehelping people with their computers is the activity19:38
melodieI need a bit to live however :D19:38
Kilosyes ifix the odd laptop for school kids but one cant charge them really19:39
melodieI get that19:43
melodiebut you can say you don't do it for free, you can do it for a free price including gifts (in food for instance)19:43
melodieeggs, pancakes, chicken, whatever..19:43
Kilosoh they all offer and often offer more than i thinks it is worth so i take enough just to let them feel happy they payed for the service19:44
Kilosbut some are poor so they get it free19:44
Kilosand then i do some data recoveries for my sons clients but dont charge because it helps his customer base grow19:46
melodieKilos you could do better then:19:46
Kilosi dont need much though, my sister feeds me , and i have my pc so im happy19:47
melodiethe ones who offer more: you take, you say what part is for you and what part will be put aside for other's who don't have enough. what do you think?19:47
Kilosoh yes good idea19:47
melodieyoupi !19:47
melodie:D19:47
Kiloslol :D19:48
melodieI am an idea provider and so far I never charged for that. ;)19:48
Kilosbut there are very few to do, so its months between jobs19:48
melodiethe extra money you put aside could be used to buy, for instance, extra ram for the poorest's machines?19:48
Kilosyou cant charge me, all i have is my friendship19:49
melodieor other items they may need, usb stick whatever...19:49
melodieKilos I accept you friendship gladly. I am very honoured!19:49
Kilosaw ty19:49
melodie:)19:49
Kilosas long as i have data to be online with im happy19:50
melodieI created a new flyer for my activity and I will probably put it on an open source license, such as CC BY-SA19:50
Kilosis it a picture?19:51
melodiewhat would you think of a flyer you could have people distribute around them in their local circles, to make them bring their old lappies and towers to you, to put them under a light linux distro? (lubuntu/bento... ) ?19:51
melodieit's not a picture, it's text arranged in a special way19:51
melodieand some images19:51
melodieit could be adapted to fit other people's needs, such as yours : you are really trying to make the world better and this is what I also do here.19:52
Kilosi am way out of town on a small holding,  so not many peeps are near here19:52
melodienot many means a few:19:52
melodiea few know more19:53
melodieand more live a bit further...19:53
Kilosyes well mainly my sisters friends grandchildren19:53
melodieI am also in a countryside and many here don't know what is different between Windows and their computer. they have special beliefs.19:53
Kilosi have told them to tell their friends at school19:54
melodie"windows computer" / "oh! is there something else that exist? then I should change computer?"19:54
Kiloslol19:54
melodie:s19:54
Kilosits actualy strange that people dont know yet19:55
melodiesigh19:55
Kilosafter being hit by trojans 3 times i started asking around for a better way19:55
melodieimagine some day, someone would tell you that you can flash the program of your washing machine, wouldn't you be astonished? this is how their beliefs are rooted.19:56
Kiloslol19:56
melodiewell here either they pay to get rid of it, or they put the machine in a closet and buy another one, and sometimes just trash the machine (including hard drive and pictures of the beloved ones inside)19:57
Kilosi didnt even know what trojans were or antivirus and malware programs19:57
melodienot all of them of course, but some do.19:57
Kiloswhen i fix kids laptops i install good antivirus and firewall for them as well and none have come back19:59
