kulelu88could be the server. Langjan try another freenode server18:45
LangjanI got lost, then deleted my xchat directory file and started afresh18:46
Kiloslol18:46
Kilosxchat isnt supported anymore18:46
Kilosso most are going to hexchat18:46
Langjanklink te veel na heksery18:47
Kiloslol18:47
Langjanso must I go there?18:47
kulelu88hexchat is hard to setup on regular ubuntu18:47
Kilosno if its still working keep it18:47
Kilosbut jan is gone now18:47
Kilosso something worked18:48
kulelu88xchat is not unsupported Kilos . it comes as a standard ubuntu package, so it must be supported or at least moonlighted18:48
Langjanyes, god riddance18:48
Langjangood18:48
Kilosit was broadcast its not supported anymore18:48
kulelu88whoa. just like thunderbird :)18:48
kulelu88*:(18:49
Kilosok kulelu88 please help the oom fix TB18:49
LangjanHi kulelu88 18:49
kulelu88Hello oupa Langjan . 18:49
Langjanlmga18:50
Langjanhi seuntjie18:50
kulelu88ek het een oom op hier en en oupa18:50
kulelu88*een oupa18:50
Kiloslol18:50
LangjanJa, amper oupagrootjie18:50
Kilossjoe18:50
kulelu88die oom speel pragtig maar. Het een twee meisies 18:51
Kilosmy kinders weet nie van kinders maak nie18:51
kulelu88of moet ek vir hulle se "tante" ? :D18:51
mazalThunderbird is not supported anymore ?18:52
LangjanKilos,  hoekom leer jy nie jou kinders nie?18:52
Kiloslol18:52
Kilosnee man een pas haar ma op en die ander het te veel girlfriends18:52
kulelu88mazal: it went into some weird "we don't support it anymore" mode by Mozilla and it was a clusterfuck basically. but the community is supporting it now (afaik)18:53
mazalIf that goes down , then what to use. No real other options18:53
kulelu88there is a nice 1 coming along. it is node-webkit based18:53
kulelu88comes with built-in encryption18:54
mazalProper email clients is something that is really lacking18:55
kulelu88mazal: it's hard work though.18:55
kulelu88you gotta use a low-level language and UI can be shit 18:55
Kiloshelp the oom fix his TB now guys18:56
kulelu88is the problem that gmail is not sending emails in the spambox ?18:56
Kiloswould the client then still fetch them and mark as junk?18:59
LangjanNo kulelu88  the problem is that TB is labelling just about everything as junk except real junk19:00
LangjanIt is supposed to be set to not label addresses in my address book as spam but they are all marked as spam no matter how many times I set the filters to not junk19:01
Kiloslol19:01
mazalMaybe reset "training data" might help ?19:01
Langjandis nie snaaks nie seuntjie19:02
Kilosyouve got it installed upside down man19:02
Kiloslol19:02
LangjanHey that makes sense Kilos 19:02
Kilossomething is corrupt there19:03
mazalLangjan, did you try that yet ?19:03
Kilosbut what19:03
kulelu88remove your filters and start over. make screenshots if necessary19:04
LangjanTry to reset "td" mazal ? No, how do I do that? 19:04
mazaltools - options - security - junk19:05
mazalUnder that is a "reset training data" options19:05
mazalThat is suppose to wipe it's database of what was marked as spam and start a new one19:05
LangjanKilos,  the mail you just sent me was labelled junk19:05
Kilosoh my19:05
Kilosbreak something19:06
Kilosnone of my mails are junk19:06
Langjanmazal,  there is no options under tools19:06
mazalAg nee , probably cos I am on the Win version here19:07
mazalThe options menu should be somewhere there , just in different place19:07
Squirmanyone here proficient in ansible?19:07
Squirmand good eve19:07
mazalNot on my linux version now so can't check :(19:07
LangjanOK I have rteset training data, is that right?19:08
mazalYep , maybe that will help19:09
LangjanIts under edit, preferences19:09
mazalIt is suppose to not have memory of previous spam now19:09
mazal"suppose to" being the key words19:10
LangjanOK so what do I do about the junk filter settings? 19:10
mazalThere just make sure all adress books are selected to not be filtered19:10
mazalMine have 3 " collected , collected adresses and personal "19:11
mazalAll are selected not to be filtered19:11
mazalOr not to be marked as spam I should say19:12
mazaloom Kilos , the mail you sent to Jan , was it from your private account ? ( gmail )19:13
Kilosya mu ubuntu.com19:13
Kilosmy19:13
mazalto the list ?19:13
mazalOr direct to LangJan ?19:14
Kilosdirect19:14
Kilosbut that was before you did this now19:14
Kiloswas while he was away19:14
mazalLangjan, after you did that restart your TB and see if the training data wipe helped19:15
LangjanKilos,  please send another mail19:15
Kilosok19:16
Kilossent19:16
LangjanThks, marked as junk again19:17
Kilosoh my19:17

superflykulelu88: so when are you coming to work for Nomanini?20:05
superfly*sigh* still no Internet at home20:06
kulelu88I need a compelling offer to come to cape town :D20:07
kulelu88plus I'm worried I'm not dev material. My coding process is weird :D20:07
kulelu88superfly: you guys in the cape will have fibre long before we do20:08
MaNIif you buy in the right complex you can already have it :(20:11
kulelu88but mehh, it's kinda pointless with the offers. "100MB down with a 50GB cap"20:12
superflywe've got fibre at work. just 10 meg though (anything else is way too expensive)20:12
superflyexactly20:12
kulelu88it's like they already know folks will be HD streaming shit all day20:12
superflywe've got 10Mbps uncapped for 2 grand per month20:12
kulelu88that's not expensive for a business IMO20:12
MaNIhttp://develde.sadv.co.za/#!/prods20:13
MaNIthat looks pretty good, woner what the FUP is20:13
superflyno, it's actually fairly decent20:13
MaNII know someone with an apartment there I should get them to sign up and bounce a wireless link my way20:13
kulelu88i think that's still for copper lines20:14
MaNIits fibre to the complex with wireless to individual places from what I can tell20:15
kulelu88aah so it's village-wide wifi. 20:16
kulelu88I bet its unsecure, perfect for stealing bank login cookies20:16
MaNIor its fibre with a free wireless hub for your house, I can't actually tell now20:17
kulelu88MaNI: whats your gig? developer also?20:18
MaNIyeah20:18
MaNIhttp://www.tshwanedje.com/20:18
kulelu88I'm guessing you're the cofounder? David?20:21
MaNII'm not David :p20:22
kulelu88You guys must be offering a solid salary for a C++ programmer in 201520:22
superflyMaNI: what language you guys use? and how do you make your stuff "cross platform"?20:24
MaNIwe are the c++ programmers, not a big company20:24
MaNIsuperfly, c++ with some other stuff mixed in20:25
kulelu88what is your LoC for all the products?20:25
kulelu88couple million?20:25
MaNIwe pick our libraries carefully - but in general C++ is pretty portable despite all the FUD by the Java etc. crowd20:26
superflyMaNI: wanna come do embedded c++? :-P20:26
superflywe need more developers20:26
MaNIembedded c++, isn't that just c? :P20:27
kulelu88hahahaha20:27
MaNILoC - actually not sure haven't peeked in a while20:27
superflyMaNI: nope, though we do have some of that too20:27
MaNImore developers - we all need those :P20:28
kulelu88I dunno though. are you guys doing OOP on embedded devices?20:28
superflykulelu88: yes20:28
kulelu88that must be painful :/20:28
superflyactually, it works a WHOLE lot better than not20:28
kulelu88what kind of hardware is the embedded device using? 20:29
superflyARM20:29
MaNIembedded world has changed a lot20:29
MaNII imagine a sensible subset of C++ works well20:29
kulelu88*please say raspberry Pi or something20:29
superflykulelu88: negative. our own custom hardware. the Pi doesn't have all the bits we need20:30
MaNIthe trick to C++ is knowing when not to use all of it20:30
superflykulelu88: also, we need to be able to do stuff the Pi can't, in hardware terms, like make the batteries last 5 days20:30
kulelu88there is micropython also, but I don't think that is usable for companies. 20:30
kulelu88is there a solar panel on the device? 20:31
MaNIsounds interesting at least20:31
superflykulelu88: nope20:32
kulelu88it would probably throw the cost of the device out quite a bit for solar 20:33
kulelu88although I suspect a lot of your users of the device are outside a lot20:33
superflywell, when an overnight charge lasts you 5 days, there's very little reason to use solar charding20:35
superfly*charging20:35
superflybesides, solar charging is not all that good either. takes WAY longer than plugging a usb cable in20:35
kulelu88True, but if they are in the sun all day, they save on needing to use electricity to charge it at all20:35
kulelu88there must be some solid electronics guys at nomanini20:36
superflynot all of them are20:36
superflyyes20:36
kulelu88why aren't you guys doing this in south america also? seems like a decent-sized market there too20:36
superflywell, it's about effort versus returns20:37
superflyAfrica is easier for us20:37
kulelu88still worth investigating. 20:37
superflywe've actually recently had to narrow down our focus even more, due to how much we were stretching ourselves thin20:37
MaNIsouth america is a tough market :p20:38
kulelu88Licensing model? 20:38
superflywe don't sell the devices, per se. we sell the management platform. the devices are obviously paid for, and part of the sell, but that's not where we make our money20:38
superfly"sell"20:38
kulelu88I think airtime isn't enough. for a device like that, those guys must sell all types of digital prepaid stuff. electricity included20:38
superflyyep, and we have some exciting stuff in the pipeline which will do electricty and other things like that20:39
superflym-pesa20:39
superflyetc20:39
kulelu88how do the merchants "see" things? there is no screen20:41
MaNII wanted to ask that as well20:41
kulelu88it looks similar to those devices at garages, except those are touch-screen :P20:43
superflywell, there's an info button that tells you some details20:43
superflyand there is a battery indicator on the front too20:44
superflyand it's got a very simple button interface. press a button, press print. out comes voucher20:44
superflyour Mozambique partners find it particularly effective in the rural areas, where there's less need for services like electricity, but more need for airtime20:45
superflyand as I mentioned earlier, we've got some exciting plans in the pipeline for enabling stuff like prepaid water and electricity20:46
kulelu88but there's 1 problem. Say I have 6 rand and want a 6rand voucher and this device only supports button-based vouchers, I can't buy a R6 voucher20:46
superflyyou'd be surprised at what the popular denominations are20:47
superflyin ZA, MTN R5 is the top voucher20:48
superflyfollowed by MTN R1020:48
superflythen Vodacom 5, and 10, respectively20:48
superflywe have those buttons, plus 12, 29, etc.20:48
superflyit actually works a lot better than it might seem.20:49
kulelu88I can think of hundreds of applications for this embedded device, but it needs a cool interface20:49
superflykulelu88: just like everybody else :-P20:49
kulelu88and I can't believe you guys manufacture it locally!20:49
superflyyep20:49
kulelu88superfly: if you need recruits, start coming to Tuks to recruit engineers20:50
MaNImanual labour or construction line?20:50
kulelu88they teach python ftw!!! 20:50
superflyMaNI: bit of both20:50
superflykulelu88: we already hunt UCT :-) we've got a student who will be joining us at the end of the year20:51
kulelu88MaNI: looks like they use injection moulding for the plastic and some assembly is done manually 20:51
kulelu88I know Tuks engineers are solid though20:51
kulelu88like some are insanely intelligent20:51
superflybeing cape town based means it's a little difficult to track them down ;-)20:52
superflybut if you know of anyone, please send them on20:52
kulelu88we can get gremble to recruit them for you20:52
superflywe need to grow our team over the next 18 months, so even if folks can't join *right now*, we're willing to wait for the right people20:53
kulelu88I'm pretty convinced that if I take nomanini posters to the campus open day and tell them "come do embedded programming in cape town", you will recruit all the PC/electronic engineers20:53
superflyhehe20:54
superflywe also need python and web folks20:54
MaNIsurely most of them want to work on flashy touch screen stuff :p20:54
superflybut we do cross-discipline development... everyone does a bit of everything20:54
kulelu88engineers demand high salaries though20:54
superfly(hence why I wrote the bootloader in assembler)20:54
kulelu88contract me to recruit for you in PTA superfly :D20:55
superflykulelu88: I still want to know why you're not sending your CV in20:55
kulelu88me and MaNI will go show sleepytorians the fantasy of cape town :D20:55
kulelu88superfly: today I started work at 4pm and they dont mind. that's why :D 20:56
superflyheh20:56
MaNIheh, I'm in CT, don't let the company name fool you20:56
MaNIalso a good example of why you never put a city in your company name :p20:57
kulelu88ohhh yeah MaNI is also a capetonian20:57
kulelu88tshwane must be a nightmare for SEO20:57
MaNIwe were originally in pta as the name suggests :/20:57
MaNIshould probably rebrand one day, but most our clients are international so they don't know the difference20:58
superflyalrighty folks, I must put my head on my pillow20:58
superflykulelu88: send your CV in anyway, you might be pleasantly surprised :-P20:58
kulelu88yeah MaNI . I was just thinkin what an isolated but lucrative niche you guys have21:00
kulelu88take care superfly 21:00
MaNInot as lucrative as we would hope, but we get by :P21:02
MaNIlinguistic people are a strange bunch of customers21:03
kulelu88you need an artsy person to sell to artsy people21:04
MaNIheh, thats where our eccentric belgian friend comes in :p21:06
kulelu88I bet you program compilers for fun MaNI 21:06
MaNInah not compilers :p21:09
MaNInot all c++ people are completely insane21:11
kulelu88I've been contemplating writing one21:12
MaNII made a little language once back in the day, but that was long ago, I guess if I were to do it now I'd probably piggy back on something like LLVM to do most the work21:14
MaNIspend a lot of time writing lingusitic parsers, which are not that different from compilers at the end of the day, I suppose21:15
kulelu88that's what I was going to do heh. Use LLVM21:16
