| Maaz | Kilos: Got it, I'll tell inetpro on freenode | 06:47 |
| Kilos | can anyone see when the pro parted? | 06:54 |
| Kilos | i was offline so dont see it | 06:54 |
| Kilos | ThatGraemeGuy do you see it on your scrollback please | 06:56 |
| Kilos | im helping him via telegram | 06:56 |
| Trixar_za | Oh hai ThatGraemeGuy, Kilos and nuvolari | 06:57 |

| Kilos | sorry | 06:58 |
| Kilos | hi TinuvaMac | 06:58 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | my bouncer doesn't replay joins/parts | 06:58 |
| Kilos | oh my ty ThatGraemeGuy | 06:58 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | or rather I've not configured it to | 06:58 |
| Kilos | nuvolari ping | 06:58 |
| Kilos | yeah it becomes a nuisance but he needs the info | 06:59 |
| Kilos | irc logs dont show joinparts either | 06:59 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | maaz: seen inetpro | 06:59 |
| Maaz | ThatGraemeGuy: inetpro was last seen 1 day, 40 minutes and 11 seconds ago in #ubuntu-za on freenode [2015-07-13 23:19:37 PDT], and has been offline on freenode since 2015-07-14 19:40:14 PDT | 06:59 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | no scrollback required | 07:00 |
| Kilos | that shows his last time he said something only | 07:00 |
| Kilos | he was online yesterday | 07:00 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | "and has been offline on freenode since 2015-07-14 19:40:14 PDT" | 07:00 |
| Kilos | ah cool | 07:00 |
| Kilos | ty | 07:00 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | and why oh why does Maaz use PDT timezone?! | 07:01 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | grrrrr | 07:01 |
| Kilos | haha | 07:01 |
| Kilos | i dont even know what that is | 07:01 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | yeah what a joke indeed | 07:01 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | and every time we suggest replacing it it's "nooooo there will be a shiny new bot any day now" | 07:02 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | except nobody has put a second's effort in | 07:02 |
| Kilos | and has been offline on freenode since 2015-07-15 02:40:35 UTC | 07:02 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | this is ubuntu-ZA | 07:02 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | in ZA we use UTC+2 | 07:02 |
| Kilos | thats from qa on ##kilos | 07:02 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | no reason for maaz to use anything else | 07:03 |
| Trixar_za | :| | 07:03 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | </rant> | 07:03 |
| Trixar_za | I have the wierdest urge to use Japanese | 07:03 |
| Trixar_za | I may be watching too much Anime | 07:03 |
| Kilos | lol | 07:03 |
| Kilos | ill get the pro to make her use utc+2 when he gets some time | 07:04 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | yeah yeah | 07:04 |
| Kilos | they have a line down or something | 07:04 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | this isn't the first time i've heard this and it won't be the last | 07:05 |
| Kilos | but utc is easier to figure for me anyway | 07:05 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | eish | 07:05 |
| Kilos | QA hi | 07:06 |
| QA | hi there | 07:06 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | how can that possibly be easier to figure than just using UCT+2, which is what 99% of us use all day every day | 07:06 |
| Kilos | well we havent bothered to sort her yet | 07:06 |
| Kilos | and with utc its easy to add 2 | 07:07 |
| Kilos | QA seen inetpro | 07:07 |
| QA | Kilos: inetpro was last seen 7 days, 9 hours, 27 minutes and 17 seconds ago in #ubuntu-africa on freenode [2015-07-07 21:40:41 UTC], and has been offline on freenode since 2015-07-15 02:40:35 UTC | 07:07 |
| Kilos | he is so busy , when i ask him to sort her timezone ill get an ai! | 07:08 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | its easier to not have to add or subtract anything | 07:08 |
| Kilos | i totally agree | 07:08 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | it pisses me off no end when people aren't willing to give up being the custodian of something, yet are constantly too busy to maintain it | 07:09 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | wtf is the point | 07:09 |
| Kilos | i have admin on QA but dont know how to set the timezone thing | 07:10 |
| * mazal peaks | 07:14 | |
| Kilos | hi mazal | 07:14 |
| mazal | Hallo everyone I haven't greeted yet | 07:14 |
| Kilos | sies man | 07:14 |
| mazal | sies why ? | 07:14 |
| Kilos | jy los ons in die donker | 07:15 |
| Kilos | skaam jou | 07:15 |
| mazal | huh | 07:15 |
| mazal | I'm not following | 07:15 |
| Kilos | mazal afk is nearly same as mazal offline | 07:15 |
| mazal | Not really | 07:16 |
| mazal | mazal afk = working | 07:16 |
| mazal | mazal offline = playing | 07:16 |
| Kilos | i try greet online not away peeps so i dont ping them if they busy | 07:16 |
| Trixar_za | If that playing involves porn, then it's probably better than he left us in the dark | 07:17 |
| mazal | I don't do porn , so nope | 07:18 |
| Kilos | lol\ | 07:18 |
| mazal | But oom I still don't know why I got a sies ? What did wrong ? | 07:18 |
| Kilos | haha sorry man | 07:20 |
| Kilos | i said sies because ytou didnt greet me first thing | 07:21 |
| mazal | I can't help it oom sleep so late :P | 07:21 |
| mazal | When I said morning nobody was here lol | 07:21 |
| Kilos | you are forgiven | 07:21 |
| * mazal needs to find about 120gig data somewhere | 07:22 | |
| mazal | Why is top-ups sooooooooo expensive | 07:23 |
| mazal | I don't get that | 07:23 |
| Kilos | oh my | 07:23 |
| mazal | I want an ISP that offers top-ups at the same price per gig as your monthly bundle cost per gig | 07:24 |
| mazal | Kilos: yeah , I need to do a ton of downloads , but is a once-off thing so no use upgrading my monthly package | 07:24 |
| Kilos | sjoe | 07:25 |
| mazal | It's what happens when you sit without power for a whole day and think out stuff | 07:26 |
| mazal | cos of boredom | 07:26 |
| Kilos | ai! | 07:26 |
| mazal | It's always great ideas but ends up costing lots of money or data every time lol | 07:26 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | mazal: vox fat pipe 100GB R164 | 07:26 |
| mazal | ThatGraemeGuy: That's the one of last week yes ? | 07:27 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | yes valid til end of the month | 07:27 |
| mazal | Really wish there was better once-off options in these specific cases | 07:28 |
| * ThatGraemeGuy mumbles something about the wonders of uncapped | 07:30 | |
| Kilos | lol | 07:30 |
| mazal | Ag nee , you barely reach 50gig then you get throttled so bad you can't even use email | 07:30 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | riiiight | 07:31 |
| mazal | Is what happened to me | 07:31 |
| mazal | Got lik 7k download on a 4mb line. Rediculous | 07:31 |
| * ThatGraemeGuy steps away | 07:32 | |
| Kilos | lol | 07:32 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | not going through this loooong conversation again | 07:32 |
| mazal | Just pointing out the facts of what happened. Maybe my ISP just bad , but that's what happened | 07:32 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | yes, you pointed out those same facts last time, and everyone here told you that yes, the isp choice was bad, and etc. etc. etc. | 07:33 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | like i said, not getting into that loooong conversation again | 07:33 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | i routinely use 200-300GB without breaking a sweat | 07:34 |
| Kilos | sjoe | 07:35 |
| Kilos | wooot pro returned | 07:37 |
| inetpro | good mornings | 07:37 |
| Maaz | inetpro: By the way, Kilos on freenode told me "tell inetpro you missing man" 50 minutes and 10 seconds ago | 07:37 |
| inetpro | hehe... he missed me? :-) | 07:38 |
| * inetpro just had to kickstart the interwebs into gear | 07:38 | |
| mazal | morning inetpro | 07:38 |
| Kilos | hi inetpro wb | 07:38 |
| inetpro | Kilos: last night I just gave up connecting when we had loadshedding after a long day at work | 07:39 |
| Kilos | we had 3 hours no power | 07:39 |
| Kilos | and when you have time we need to make the bots use utc+2 please | 07:39 |
| mazal | Oi I need a document management system | 07:40 |
| mazal | Oom Kilos have you figured one out yet ? | 07:44 |
| Kilos | a document manager? | 07:50 |
| magespawn | good morning | 07:50 |
| Kilos | hi magespawn | 07:51 |
| Kilos | mazal what you wanna do? | 07:51 |
| mazal | Kilos: a " Help me remember in which folder I put which document " system :P | 07:52 |
| Kilos | lolol | 07:52 |
| mazal | morning magespawn | 07:52 |
| Kilos | no i forget too | 07:52 |
| Kilos | thats why i let my browser open to over 20 pages daily | 07:53 |
| mazal | I lost one of barry's files | 07:53 |
| mazal | and can't find the thing | 07:53 |
| Kilos | use the search | 07:53 |
| mazal | uhm.......can't remember the filename | 07:54 |
| mazal | And also can't remember if it's on mail , pc or server lol | 07:54 |
| mazal | It's defnitely on one of those systems , that I know lol | 07:55 |
| Kilos | ai! | 07:55 |
| Kilos | whats this thing http://tellico-project.org/ | 07:56 |
| Kilos | you should save all barry stuff in a barry folder | 07:58 |
| mazal | We have a bunch of work folders and in there a bunch of sub folders | 07:59 |
| mazal | We try and name the folders according to relevance , but there is also some that could be in 3 different subjects | 07:59 |
| Kilos | ai! | 08:00 |
| mazal | For example , this is a user's application for memory sticks. So did I file under finance , assets , user applications, or region info | 08:00 |
| mazal | Cos all of those is relevant for this doc :P | 08:01 |
| Kilos | should be user apps | 08:01 |
| mazal | but user apps should only be user id applications | 08:01 |
| Kilos | when things are relevant in many places save them to all those places | 08:01 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | you say "I'm I.T. staff, not this silly admin nonsense" | 08:02 |
| mazal | ThatGraemeGuy: I really suck at admin | 08:02 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | me too which is why I do none | 08:02 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | there are people that are paid to do admin well, I'm not one of them | 08:02 |
| mazal | Kilos: I actually started to do that , if something is relevant to more than one thing I save it in all of those. BUT then comes the problem when it gets updated. Then the " Now which one did I update problem again " | 08:03 |
| Kilos | lol | 08:03 |
| mazal | ThatGraemeGuy: We asked for an admin clerk , as usual the response was no | 08:03 |
| mazal | Our poor files is a mess | 08:03 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | who is it you work for? | 08:04 |
| mazal | nuff said right there | 08:04 |
| mazal | om Kilos , you should see when it happens when me and barry goes " Maar ek het jou gese jy moet onthou waar ek dit bere , jy moet help onthou " | 08:05 |
| Kilos | lol | 08:05 |
| Kilos | correctional services | 08:05 |
| mazal | then the inevitable " Nee jy het my niks gese nie , ek kan dit nie onthou nie " lol | 08:05 |
| Kilos | ai! | 08:06 |
| mazal | Two ou toppies trying to remember stuff , get's very funny | 08:06 |
| Kilos | lol | 08:06 |
| mazal | Don't tell him I said that :P | 08:06 |
| mazal | And the less you remember the more docs and manuals you make for yourself and so the cycle get's worse | 08:08 |
| Kilos | i battle with only my stuff, dunno how you guys do so much | 08:09 |
| mazal | But the digital stuff is ok , eventually we find it. You should check when I try and find something I wrote in last year's diary lol | 08:09 |
| === rusbus is now known as Russ_|Away | ||
| magespawn | mazal: you still write things? | 08:21 |
| Kilos | hi ronaldm | 08:33 |
| Kilos | welcome to ubuntu-za | 08:34 |
| mazal | magespawn: Defnitely , I have a diary at work and at home I have notepads for stuff to remember | 08:35 |
| magespawn | i almost always lose the notes, can remember that i wrote something somewhere | 08:36 |
| magespawn | brb | 08:36 |
| magespawn | back | 08:45 |
| ronaldm | Kilos: thanks for the warm welcome | 08:48 |
| Kilos | we are happy when new people join us ronaldm | 08:48 |
| ronaldm | Kilos: I am based in Harare, saw your email on the LoCo mailing list | 08:48 |
| Kilos | if you need some help just state what you need help with | 08:48 |
| Kilos | aha ok then you can join #ubuntu-africa | 08:49 |
| Kilos | thats the channel for all of africa | 08:49 |
| mazal | Welcome ronaldm | 08:51 |
| ronaldm | mazal: thanks | 08:52 |
| mazal | heh , heard another myth now | 08:55 |
| mazal | magespawn: I keep mine in one place only , then it can't get lost :) | 08:56 |
| mazal | Always lying next to my pc | 08:56 |
| Kilos | haha i saved school books full of notes, and that is even harder to find | 09:07 |
| magespawn | mazal i need to get into this idea of having one office, at the moment i tend to carry everything with me | 09:09 |
| magespawn | bbl got to go again | 09:11 |
| Kilos | hmm... | 09:15 |
| Kilos | need clever peeps ideas | 09:15 |
| Kilos | if a tower is upgraded to lte will ones normal modem also be faster even though it cant do the lte bit | 09:17 |
| Kilos | surely the whole signal or bandwidth will be better wont it | 09:17 |
| Kilos | so everything connected to it will be faster | 09:19 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | no idea | 09:20 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | not sure if there are and GSM/LTE techs around here that would know | 09:20 |
| Kilos | well i hope so because ive just asked them to upgrade this tower | 09:22 |
| Kilos | and will get all neighbours to do likewise | 09:22 |
| mazal | Good q Kilos , would be interesting to know | 09:44 |
| Kilos | logically i think everything connected to it should be faster, cells, tablets pcs etc | 09:47 |
| mazal | Usually it's never that simple. There is always a BUT | 09:47 |
| Kilos | lol | 09:48 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | I don't think that would be the case at all | 09:48 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | if your device can speak HSDPA it will still speak HSDPA | 09:48 |
| mazal | I think only LTE enabled devices will benefit | 09:49 |
| mazal | The rest not | 09:49 |
| Kilos | oh yes ThatGraemeGuy i agree but | 09:49 |
| Kilos | lets figure | 09:49 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | if you have a WiFi 802.11n device, there is no speed benefit for a device that only speaks 802.11g | 09:49 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | similar situation | 09:49 |
| Kilos | to upgrade to lte they must surely increase bandwidth right? | 09:49 |
| mazal | I agree with Graeme | 09:49 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | backhaul yes | 09:50 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | but that isn't really relevant to your device | 09:50 |
| Kilos | so then , we are having slow speeds now because they say because of all the extra users | 09:50 |
| mazal | It's like if I plug my 100mb network card into a 1Gig lan , it's still only gonna work at 100mb | 09:50 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | it depends on whether the congestion is on the GSM side or backhaul | 09:50 |
| Kilos | my device is capable of 20mb/s but i get 2 mb/s | 09:51 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | i don't believe that backhaul would be congested | 09:51 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | the wireless likely is | 09:51 |
| Kilos | at times then others over 7mb/s | 09:51 |
| Kilos | so thats because of too many peeps i think | 09:51 |
| Kilos | so if bandwidth is increased it should be able to do better | 09:52 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | your whole argument is based on them adding more backhaul | 09:52 |
| Kilos | i dunno what backhaul is | 09:52 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | that's fat fibre pipes, i don't believe that would be the issue | 09:53 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | backhaul is the fat fibre connection that connects base station comms kit to their backbone | 09:53 |
| Kilos | oh ty | 09:53 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | i think more likely the wireless side is congested | 09:53 |
| Kilos | well i hope upgrading helps | 09:54 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | and like everything, no provider is ever going to say you will get the speed your device supports, they will all say "up to" 20Mbps or whatever | 09:54 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | there just isn't any way to guarantee speed, ESPECIALLY with wireless | 09:54 |
| MaNI | 99% of the time it will be the 'last mile' i.e. the wireless side | 09:54 |
| Kilos | ya but they must fix my side | 09:54 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | they will advertise the speed the technology is capable of, but there's no way you will see that full speed constantly | 09:55 |
| Kilos | the pro gets up to 22mb/s and im stuck down at 2mb/s at times | 09:55 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | you can't compare like that | 09:55 |
| Kilos | im happy when i get 7 meg | 09:55 |
| Kilos | ya but he feeds off a lte tower and me not | 09:56 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | and upgrading a tower costs a ton of money, they aren't just going to do that without all sorts of investigation and financial reports | 09:56 |
| Kilos | oh well all i can do is ask for upgrade | 09:56 |
| Kilos | and hope | 09:57 |
| Kilos | its very lekker to open a web page and not have to wait | 09:58 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | that has less to do with bandwith and more to do with latency | 10:03 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | I only have 2M and pages load quickly for me | 10:03 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | adsl has much lower latency | 10:03 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | if you have 20M of peak bandwith but bad latency, web pages will still suck | 10:03 |
| Kilos | ai! | 10:07 |
| * mazal hears the word latency and screams | 10:09 | |
| mazal | Killer for us online gamers that | 10:09 |
| mazal | Good old ping rate | 10:09 |
| MaNI | a bit of both depending on the web pages | 10:10 |
| MaNI | turning on ad block is a big help :) | 10:10 |
| Kilos | lol i have that | 10:10 |
| Kilos | hate adds | 10:10 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | ugh | 10:11 |
| mazal | Shees we are standing still today | 10:11 |
| mazal | Our work network I mean | 10:11 |
| MaNI | but yeah latency is a killer if its a badly written web page, with lots of back and forth, like 100s of little css files or whatever | 10:11 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | trying to get some windows-only piece of crap software working on a vm | 10:11 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | how do people still use this crap? | 10:12 |
| mazal | What app ? | 10:12 |
| Kilos | with difficulty | 10:12 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | leapfrog connect | 10:12 |
| mazal | Don't know it sorry , can't be of help | 10:13 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | nobody can :) | 10:13 |
| MaNI | I lost most of my sleep on monday to get a product to still work on XP :/ | 10:13 |
| mazal | XP!!! Wow ok | 10:14 |
| MaNI | product about to ship, client decides at last minute that it must still support XP, meh | 10:14 |
| Kilos | ouch | 10:14 |
| mazal | I almost said something now | 10:14 |
| mazal | But can't judge that badly :P | 10:14 |
| MaNI | It sounds ridiculous but when you look at some of the numbers out their some of them claim more people still use XP than OSX - and nobody acts shocked when people want OSX support :( | 10:15 |
| mazal | All things bad about Win aside, using an OS that has no security support anymore is just......... | 10:16 |
| MaNI | not condoning it | 10:16 |
| MaNI | but its still ~250 million potential customers that otherwise can't use your software :p | 10:16 |
| MaNI | I'd love to take a stick and beat them all into using another OS of course | 10:17 |
| mazal | That gives me an idea | 10:17 |
| MaNI | ergh 4-6 weeks lead time on the circuit breakers I want, terrible, I can probably import faster than that :( | 10:18 |
| mazal | maaz what's for lunch | 10:47 |
| Maaz | mazal: How about some soup? | 10:47 |
| mazal | maaz what is it with you and soup | 10:48 |
| Maaz | mazal: Not a clue, sorry | 10:48 |

| ThatGraemeGuy | weird question, anyone know anything about dual-booting windows 8 and linux? | 11:51 |
| mazal | Not Win 8 no , last time I did it was Win 7 | 11:53 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | my laptop came with windows 8 in UEFI mode, and I blew it away within minutes | 11:53 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | and now I want to go to dual-boot and I'm lost | 11:53 |
| mazal | formatted it ? | 11:54 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | I've done nothing, just researching first | 11:54 |
| mazal | O ok | 11:54 |
| mazal | ask ubuntu has a nice one this somewhere | 11:54 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | I need to know what I'm in for up front, this is my laptop that I use all the time, can't have it down for a day or two while I'm figuring stuff out | 11:54 |
| mazal | UEFI is the main pain | 11:54 |
| mazal | Lemme see if I can find that nice how-to I saw before | 11:55 |

| ThatGraemeGuy | thanks, but that's how to install ubuntu with 8 pre-installed | 11:58 |

| Kilos | hi magespawn | 14:58 |
| magespawn | trying to find out why the network is sporadic | 15:00 |
| magespawn | slow then fast intermittently | 15:01 |
| Kilos | during a download? | 15:02 |
| magespawn | no just general network usage | 15:03 |
| magespawn | do have 80 or so people on the network | 15:03 |
| Kilos | sjoe | 15:03 |
| Kilos | some are downloading stuffs | 15:03 |
| magespawn | yup i think so but the ping times are all over the place an i am losing packets on two locations | 15:07 |
| Kilos | oh my | 15:08 |
| magespawn | i think the one is an alignment issue and the other just crappy equipment | 15:10 |
| magespawn | nothing that would hurt chat, but your youtube might suffer a bit | 15:12 |
| Cryterion | And loadshedding starts again, grrr | 16:08 |

| Kilos | loadshedding messes up everything | 18:31 |
| Kilos | hi Tonberry | 18:32 |
| Cryterion | There's 175 people on the Congo page that like it (Can't tell how many still follow it though) but it's also a page, not a group like we've setup for Africa | 18:33 |
| Kilos | we are unique world wide i think | 18:33 |
| Kilos | its just difficult to pull social media peeps to irc | 18:35 |
| mazal | What's the africa group name ? | 18:35 |
| Kilos | on fb? | 18:35 |
| Kilos | ubuntu-africa | 18:35 |
| Cryterion | mazal, Ubuntu-Africa | 18:35 |
| mazal | Last post was April ? | 18:36 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | urgh i'm a bit spoiled | 18:36 |
| Kilos | what you got ThatGraemeGuy | 18:36 |
| Tonberry | hi | 18:36 |
| Cryterion | How do I un-ignore on xchat? | 18:36 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | so used to a CD-sized ISO taking a couple of minutes, when I'm at home it seems inconceivable that it's going to take more than an hour | 18:36 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | AN HOUR, really?! | 18:36 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | lol | 18:36 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:37 |
| Kilos | yay dvd size isos are the new norm | 18:37 |
| Kilos | ya | 18:37 |
| mazal | An hour for an install ? | 18:37 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | no an hour+ to download 438MB | 18:38 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | takes about a minute at work :-/ | 18:38 |
| Kilos | wow | 18:38 |
| stickyboy | From USB flash disk it's quick. :D | 18:38 |
| mazal | Oh to dl | 18:38 |
| mazal | I was about to ask if that is a Windoooze install lol | 18:38 |
| Kilos | what last post was april mazal | 18:39 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | well yes, from RAM its even quicker, but since the file I need is stored on neither of those, I will have to download it from the snail network :-p | 18:39 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | a windows install is only 10 minutes nowadays | 18:39 |
| mazal | Kilos, the last post on the fb group | 18:39 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | but this whole affair is windows related actually | 18:39 |
| Kilos | the ubuntu-africa group? | 18:39 |
| mazal | yes | 18:39 |
| Kilos | Cryterion post something | 18:40 |
| mazal | And seems like a micro financial organization actually | 18:40 |
| Cryterion | Something | 18:40 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:40 |
| mazal | I think I am on the wrong group that has the same name | 18:40 |
| Kilos | man something to show its alive and hunting buntu peeps in africa | 18:40 |
| Cryterion | I accidentally ignored mazal, not sure it I corrected it properly yet, mazal are you here? | 18:41 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | 1.5 hours and counting, resizing an NTFS filesystem by 150GB :-/ | 18:41 |
| mazal | Cryterion, yes I am | 18:42 |
| Cryterion | Kilo's I did, got confirmed post, but didn't display yet | 18:42 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | Cryterion: he said yes, did you see it? | 18:42 |
| Cryterion | no :( | 18:42 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | eish | 18:42 |
| mazal | oi | 18:42 |

| ThatGraemeGuy | I found a purpose in life | 18:43 |
| Cryterion | lol | 18:43 |
| Kilos | everyone is nuts | 18:43 |
| Cryterion | Usage: UNIGNORE <mask> [QUIET] | 18:43 |
| Kilos | i feel at home here | 18:43 |
| Cryterion | mask would be mazal? QUIET? | 18:44 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | Cryterion: the correct answer of course is to not use xchat in the first place :) | 18:44 |
| mazal | Isn't mask that mazal*!* something something stuff ? | 18:44 |
| Cryterion | hmm, this is the only problem I'm having with xchat | 18:44 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | check in ~/.xchat or ~/.config/xchat, or whatnot, not sure where xchat stores config | 18:44 |
| Cryterion | Will look | 18:45 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | mazal says "Isn't mask that mazal*!* something something stuff ?" | 18:45 |
| mazal | Can't remember the masks , been too long since I last used it | 18:45 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | lol | 18:45 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | mazal says "Can't remember the masks , been too long since I last used it" | 18:45 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | :-p | 18:45 |

| Cryterion | Now that sounds mean ThatGraemeGuy lol | 18:51 |
| === notmazal is now known as mazal | ||
| mazal | something | 18:51 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | we all used BitchX at some point waaay back in the 90s | 18:52 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | unless you were using mIRC | 18:52 |
| superfly | except me | 18:52 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | those were your options :-D | 18:52 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | or irssi | 18:52 |
| superfly | I didn't IRC in the 90s, to be honest. | 18:52 |
| mazal | I was a mirc guy | 18:52 |
| mazal | Had awesome stats generator for mirc :) | 18:52 |
| Kilos | sjoe i didnt even have a pc then | 18:52 |

| Kilos | you guys are old | 18:53 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | I wrote a mIRC script that ran a trivia game in a channel | 18:53 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | and then ported it to Eggdrop | 18:53 |
| mazal | Yeah we had one of those in our channel | 18:53 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | it was pretty popular back then | 18:53 |
| mazal | Trivia and one that you had to guess words and stuff | 18:53 |
| === mazal is now known as notmazalagain | ||
| ThatGraemeGuy | http://www.donaldson.za.net/eggdrop | 18:54 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:54 |

| Cryterion | Lol | 18:57 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | Cryterion: Kilos said sleep tight, and then left | 18:57 |
| Cryterion | Kwl | 18:57 |
| mazal | ThatGraemeGuy, we had lot's of fun with that stuff back in the day | 18:57 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | I wonder if that script would still work with a modern version of Eggdrop | 18:58 |
| Cryterion | I remember my mIrc days, and yes was also back in the 90's | 18:58 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | is Eggdrop even maintained anymore :-/ | 18:58 |
| mazal | Then somebody at work discovered it and closed the server :( | 18:58 |
| Cryterion | Maaz: google Eggdrop | 18:58 |
| Maaz | Cryterion: "Eggheads.org - Main Index" http://www.eggheads.org/ :: "Eggheads.org - Downloads" http://www.eggheads.org/downloads/ :: "Eggdrop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggdrop :: "egghelp.org: what is an eggdrop?" http://www.egghelp.org/whatis.htm :: "egghelp.org" http://www.egghelp.org/ :: "egghelp.org: setting up an eggdrop" | 18:58 |

| mazal | Was in 90's for me also , didn't even know about linux back then | 19:00 |
| mazal | Wish I did though | 19:00 |
| mazal | Or rather knew about it , but was ignorant | 19:00 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | I played with Slackware around that time but never ran it properly | 19:01 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | in 2004 I ran Gentoo on my desktop | 19:01 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | which was quite a brave thing to do in the 56k dial-up era | 19:01 |
| mazal | I was one of the " Linux is only for servers and can't be used as a desktop os " people | 19:01 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | s/brave/dumb probably | 19:02 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | and then there was bonded ISDN and Telkom's "R7 weekend" | 19:02 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | anyone remember that? :-o | 19:02 |
| mazal | Oh I remember those | 19:02 |
| Cryterion | I switched to Linux about 2 years ago, I have about 3 months experience with windows 8, then through it out the window | 19:04 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | I started a job in 2009 as the designated windows guy in a mostly-Linux shop | 19:05 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | superfly remembers | 19:05 |
| superfly | :-D | 19:05 |
| Cryterion | Ah, that R7 all weekend telkom one, got pissed at my step-sister for picking up the phone which dc'd me, grrr | 19:05 |
| mazal | I started using linux in 2002 for my home file share server | 19:05 |
| mazal | Wasn't until 2008 that I tried it as a desktop | 19:06 |
| superfly | ThatGraemeGuy: though Shaun vN was "I'll never use Linux on my desktop!" | 19:06 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | Cryterion: yeah with bonded ISDN the R7 weekend turned into a R14 weekend, and if you got disconnected it was infuriating | 19:06 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | lol Shaun | 19:07 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | almost thought he was done for the other day, shame | 19:07 |
| Cryterion | especially if your all night download was coming off a non-resuming server ThatGraemeGuy | 19:08 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | he's working for some Nigerian eCommerce site, and flew up there. his wife contacted me via fb, desperate that she hadn't heard from him for several hours after he should've landed | 19:08 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | many hours later he popped up on fb, turned out he just had really bad signal all the time | 19:09 |
| superfly | heh | 19:09 |
| mazal | I'm gonna crash | 19:10 |
| mazal | Night guys , sleep well | 19:10 |
