philipballew | Kilos, Alright. i have approved about three people each day so far | 08:05 |
Kilos | wonderful ty | 08:05 |
Kilos | so at least it is growing | 08:05 |
philipballew | Kilos, I was thinking of practical things to start doing there, and i thought about simple videos people can make to post. | 08:06 |
Kilos | videos kill dsata for peps that use 3g connections | 08:06 |
Kilos | peeps | 08:06 |
philipballew | Kilos, what about wifi inside the house? | 08:06 |
philipballew | 3g is for cell phones? | 08:07 |
Kilos | mobile data is expensive here | 08:07 |
Kilos | no wifi in rural areas | 08:07 |
philipballew | Kilos, Are you in a rural area? | 08:07 |
Kilos | yes im about 20 ks out of town | 08:08 |
philipballew | here in the states people are on dial up in rural areas or pay a lot of money for satellite internet. | 08:08 |
Kilos | farms and small holding areas all have to use 3g modems | 08:08 |
philipballew | what town do you live outside of? | 08:09 |
Kilos | all cables for adsl got stolen so often they stopped replacing them | 08:09 |
Kilos | pretoria | 08:09 |
Kilos | satelite is totally out of reach to most of us | 08:09 |
philipballew | Kilos, interesting. I need to visit South Africa and see for myself. | 08:10 |
Kilos | lol | 08:10 |
philipballew | that would require time and money, and I have neither currently... | 08:11 |
Kilos | there used to be landlines to all farms but not anymore | 08:11 |
philipballew | por que? | 08:11 |
philipballew | sorry. | 08:11 |
philipballew | Why? | 08:11 |
Kilos | np we manage if we work thriftily on 3g | 08:11 |
Kilos | copper theft | 08:12 |
Kilos | 3 ks of cables stolen in a night | 08:12 |
philipballew | sometimes I have a problem switching back and fourth between spanish and english in my mind | 08:12 |
philipballew | Kilos, for the money? | 08:12 |
Kilos | lol | 08:12 |
philipballew | they sell the metal right? | 08:12 |
Kilos | yes copper is big money for thieves | 08:13 |
philipballew | Kilos, the same is rue here on a smaller scale. | 08:13 |
philipballew | true | 08:13 |
Kilos | they even steal power cables | 08:13 |
philipballew | thats low class of them | 08:13 |
Kilos | so now our power peeps are using aluminium cables | 08:13 |
Kilos | yes very poor show | 08:14 |
philipballew | people dont realize it hurts them in the long run to destroy infrastructure. | 08:14 |
philipballew | well the might realize, but it is a fix that makes the situation worse. | 08:15 |
Kilos | they live for today only and move to other thieving projects when blocked | 08:15 |
philipballew | like cutting down forests to create farm land. or drilling deep into the ground for oil. | 08:16 |
Kilos | yeah | 08:16 |
philipballew | those are the problems in the americas currently | 08:17 |
Kilos | makes life easier for me knowing you are looking after facebook for us ty philipballew: | 08:21 |
philipballew | Kilos, Yes. I think its good because I am awake at an hour you guys are not so in case someone posts inappropriate things, or ride things, I can remove them. | 08:22 |
Kilos | cool | 08:23 |
philipballew | Soon I am gonna try to posts some cool articles in the hopes of getting quality discussion going | 08:23 |
Kilos | people in africa are so busy making a living that time for other things is very scarce | 08:24 |
Kilos | mainly we need to spread the word that ubuntu and all linux in africa is being revived and we are trying to grow | 08:25 |
