[06:19] <Kilos> hellooo africa
[06:26] <Kilos> hi philipballew:
[06:26] <Kilos> hows the FB thing doing
[08:05] <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
[08:06] <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?
[08:07] <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?
[08:08] <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
[08:09] <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
[08:10] <philipballew> Kilos, interesting. I need to visit South Africa and see for myself.
[08:10] <Kilos> lol
[08:11] <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
[08:12] <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?
[08:13] <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
[08:14] <Kilos> yes very poor show
[08:14] <philipballew> people dont realize it hurts them in the long run to destroy infrastructure.
[08:15] <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
[08:16] <philipballew> like cutting down forests to create farm land. or drilling deep into the ground for oil.
[08:16] <Kilos> yeah
[08:17] <philipballew> those are the problems in the americas currently
[08:21] <Kilos> makes life easier for me knowing you are looking after facebook for us ty philipballew:
[08:22] <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.
[08:23] <Kilos> cool
[08:23] <philipballew> Soon I am gonna try to posts some cool articles in the hopes of getting quality discussion going
[08:24] <Kilos> people in africa are so busy making a living that time for other things is very scarce
[08:25] <Kilos> mainly we need to spread the word that ubuntu and all linux in africa is being revived and we are trying to grow
[08:30] <philipballew> Kilos, I will try to do what I can here from my end.
