[06:19] hellooo africa [06:26] hi philipballew: [06:26] hows the FB thing doing [08:05] Kilos, Alright. i have approved about three people each day so far [08:05] wonderful ty [08:05] so at least it is growing [08:06] Kilos, I was thinking of practical things to start doing there, and i thought about simple videos people can make to post. [08:06] videos kill dsata for peps that use 3g connections [08:06] peeps [08:06] Kilos, what about wifi inside the house? [08:07] 3g is for cell phones? [08:07] mobile data is expensive here [08:07] no wifi in rural areas [08:07] Kilos, Are you in a rural area? [08:08] yes im about 20 ks out of town [08:08] here in the states people are on dial up in rural areas or pay a lot of money for satellite internet. [08:08] farms and small holding areas all have to use 3g modems [08:09] what town do you live outside of? [08:09] all cables for adsl got stolen so often they stopped replacing them [08:09] pretoria [08:09] satelite is totally out of reach to most of us [08:10] Kilos, interesting. I need to visit South Africa and see for myself. [08:10] lol [08:11] that would require time and money, and I have neither currently... [08:11] there used to be landlines to all farms but not anymore [08:11] por que? [08:11] sorry. [08:11] Why? [08:11] np we manage if we work thriftily on 3g [08:12] copper theft [08:12] 3 ks of cables stolen in a night [08:12] sometimes I have a problem switching back and fourth between spanish and english in my mind [08:12] Kilos, for the money? [08:12] lol [08:12] they sell the metal right? [08:13] yes copper is big money for thieves [08:13] Kilos, the same is rue here on a smaller scale. [08:13] true [08:13] they even steal power cables [08:13] thats low class of them [08:13] so now our power peeps are using aluminium cables [08:14] yes very poor show [08:14] people dont realize it hurts them in the long run to destroy infrastructure. [08:15] well the might realize, but it is a fix that makes the situation worse. [08:15] they live for today only and move to other thieving projects when blocked [08:16] like cutting down forests to create farm land. or drilling deep into the ground for oil. [08:16] yeah [08:17] those are the problems in the americas currently [08:21] makes life easier for me knowing you are looking after facebook for us ty philipballew: [08:22] 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] cool [08:23] Soon I am gonna try to posts some cool articles in the hopes of getting quality discussion going [08:24] people in africa are so busy making a living that time for other things is very scarce [08:25] 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] Kilos, I will try to do what I can here from my end.
