| theblazehen | Yeah | 10:59 |
| MaNI | everybody too busy trying to stay afloat in our shitty economy, no time for luxuries like IRC anymore | 11:02 |
| Vlekkie | Allot of people don't know what IRC is nowadays, so not surprised tho lol | 11:02 |

| Kilos | even bell.ogg is feeble | 13:36 |
| Kilos | so i sleep past most things | 13:36 |
| Kilos | its busy trying to storm here, so power might go | 13:36 |
| who_da_fly | OK. We had a storm last night. Lots of lightning and HUGE rain drops | 13:37 |
| Kilos | do you understand portugese | 13:42 |
| Kilos | hehe | 13:42 |
| who_da_fly | no, not at all | 13:42 |

| who_da_fly | Kilos: I'm here with 2 colleagues | 13:56 |
| Kilos | thats better | 13:57 |
| who_da_fly | Kilos: how much does a 500meg data bundle cost? | 14:09 |
| Kilos | sec ill check | 14:10 |
| Kilos | R69 | 14:10 |
| who_da_fly | Kilos: which SP? | 14:12 |
| who_da_fly | network | 14:12 |
| Kilos | telkom mobile | 14:12 |
| Kilos | do they have it there? | 14:12 |
| who_da_fly | No. They have Vodacom. Vodacom SA is R100 for a 500 meg bundle. | 14:13 |
| Kilos | ouch | 14:14 |
| Kilos | telkom is 1g for R99 | 14:14 |
| who_da_fly | Here in Mozambique, it's R32 for 500 megs | 14:15 |
| Kilos | nice | 14:15 |
| inetpro | who_da_fly: how much for 1GB there? | 14:17 |
| inetpro | R32 for 500MB (6c per MB) is not bad | 14:22 |
| inetpro | Kilos: have you checked the time based data bundles of Telkom yet? | 14:23 |
| Kilos | nope inetpro | 14:23 |
| inetpro | you can get 1GB for R59 | 14:23 |
| Kilos | it doesnt show on the online thing' | 14:23 |
| inetpro | sadly just valid over a weekend | 14:23 |
| Kilos | what kinda time base | 14:24 |
| Kilos | haha | 14:24 |
| inetpro | weekend | 14:24 |
| Kilos | im hoping to leave for aus before my data runs out' | 14:24 |
| inetpro | or R39 for 500MB | 14:24 |
| Kilos | waiting for online visa app to be approved | 14:25 |
| inetpro | wow! | 14:25 |
| Kilos | the for 3 months ill chat to you from 9 hours ahead of you | 14:25 |
| Kilos | then | 14:25 |
| Kilos | weekend only bundles are kinda pointless i think | 14:27 |
| Kilos | to me anyway | 14:27 |
| inetpro | could be useful to download an ISO | 14:28 |
| Kilos | oh ya | 14:31 |
| Kilos | my next iso download is 16.04 | 14:31 |
| who_da_fly | inetpro: 200MT, so R64 | 14:31 |
| inetpro | interesting | 14:32 |
| inetpro | oh but hang on who_da_fly, it looks like those prepaid plans for 512MB and 1GB are just valid for 7 days | 14:40 |
| Kilos | somewhere is gonna get some rain i think | 14:40 |
| Kilos | lotsa clouds and thunder | 14:40 |
| inetpro | who_da_fly: good enough for you on your short trip but rather costly if you had to live on it like Kilos does | 14:41 |
| who_da_fly | inetpro: I don't need it longer | 14:41 |
| who_da_fly | who_da_fly: true | 14:41 |
| Kilos | ya | 14:42 |
| who_da_fly | gah. referencing myself. how silly | 14:42 |
| Kilos | hahaha | 14:42 |
| Kilos | old age | 14:42 |
| inetpro | anyway, don't think oom Kilos or any one of us would want to relocate to MZ any time soon :-) | 14:42 |
| Kilos | nope | 14:43 |
| Kilos | at one time i actually thought of going there and running a forklift repair business | 14:44 |
| Kilos | apparently the docks are full of broke ones | 14:44 |
| Kilos | broken | 14:44 |
| who_da_fly | Kilos: it's almost always warm here | 15:03 |
| Kilos | ya that place is more tropical | 15:03 |
| Kilos | even more so than durbs | 15:05 |
| Kilos | mangoes and pawpaws used to be dirt cheap there | 15:06 |
| Kilos | and avos i think | 15:06 |
| Kilos | many years ago | 15:06 |
| Kilos | hi Audio | 15:07 |
| Kilos | you a noisy kinda person? | 15:07 |
| Kilos | or musical | 15:07 |
| Kilos | rain starting inetpro | 15:07 |
| Kilos | you gona get wet | 15:08 |
| who_da_fly | Kilos: yes, mangoes grow everywhere here | 15:12 |
| who_da_fly | and there's a papaya tree in the yard behind the office | 15:12 |
| Kilos | tower got such a shock when it started raining it dropped signal | 16:13 |
| Kilos | sigh | 16:13 |
| Kilos | you wet inetpro | 16:14 |
| Kilos | or did you get wet | 16:14 |
| inetpro | Kilos-: I got wet but I survived | 16:35 |
| Kilos- | yay | 16:35 |
| Kilos- | weve had 2mm | 16:35 |
| inetpro | luckily just got through before the big hailstorm now | 16:35 |
| Kilos- | wow | 16:35 |
| inetpro | poor Loerie (Kwêvoël/go-away-bird) even landed in the swimming pool with the stones from above | 16:39 |
| Kilos- | eiah | 16:40 |
| Kilos- | eiah | 16:40 |
| Kilos- | ai! | 16:40 |
| Kilos- | eish | 16:40 |
| inetpro | hope it survives after drying it up a bit and releasing it again | 16:48 |
| Kilos- | shame man | 16:49 |
| inetpro | Kilos-: 20mm | 17:08 |
| Kilos- | wow | 17:17 |
| Kilos- | we had 7mm | 17:18 |
| Kilos- | Audioburn feel frre to say hi to us | 17:38 |

| kulelu88 | yo | 20:48 |
| gremble | Hey kulelu88 | 20:48 |
| kulelu88 | hey gremble my man | 20:49 |
| gremble | How are you kulelu88 | 20:49 |
| kulelu88 | fekked man. this work is soul-draining. hows you? | 20:51 |
| gremble | Finished my first exam and got a question wrong I knew I knew before hand :P | 20:52 |
| gremble | But I think I did fine | 20:52 |
| gremble | I recently took one of those bloomberg aptitute tests. got a dismal score because I couldn't finish two sections, I did however, achieve quite high on everything else. Now I got my first CV request from a company. Quite surprised at it | 20:53 |
| kulelu88 | via the bloomberg aptitude thing? | 20:54 |
| gremble | Yup | 20:59 |
| kulelu88 | it must be quant firms | 21:00 |
| gremble | I scored in the top 95% for investment banking. I've never investement banked shit. XD | 21:00 |
| gremble | reverse that score. top 5% | 21:01 |
| kulelu88 | I also took it and only got 1 CV request. never bothered | 21:01 |
| gremble | 95th percentile. I can't math | 21:01 |
| gremble | I need a job | 21:01 |
| gremble | I will take this cv request | 21:01 |
| kulelu88 | company name? | 21:01 |
| gremble | Don't know until I open the request | 21:02 |
| gremble | I don't have a CV yet so I have to make one before I open the request | 21:02 |
| kulelu88 | must be a phishing expedition (unless they are confirmed local) | 21:03 |
| gremble | It is local. Campus based apparently | 21:04 |
| kulelu88 | for a quant gig, I'd only go with JPMorgan, Meryll Lynch/Linch or GS | 21:05 |
| kulelu88 | and get a transfer to New York after 12 months | 21:05 |
| gremble | I'm still at university after 12 months | 21:05 |
| gremble | :P | 21:05 |
| kulelu88 | they still protesting? | 21:08 |
| kulelu88 | I always knew de la rey was a bitch though | 21:08 |
| gremble | No, we've stopped for like 2 weeks now | 21:10 |
| gremble | After the Friay at the union buildings we were done | 21:10 |
| gremble | Monday she had a meeting with us, Tuesday we were back in class :P | 21:11 |
| kulelu88 | At least they kept it classy and didn't go mad like the TUT students | 21:14 |
| gremble | Yup. TUT has been striking. But the management at TUT is lackadaisical at best, simply apathetic at best | 21:15 |
| gremble | So their frustration is understandable | 21:15 |
| gremble | UP was quick to mobilise and listen | 21:16 |
| kulelu88 | those jews and afrikaaners running Tuks dont waste time. they probably mobilized their billions to qualm the students | 21:18 |
| kulelu88 | I hear that some info came out that the endowment is +50 billion? | 21:18 |
| gremble | Yes. A metric shit ton of money appeared. It was magical. It means that I might still get to get my degree ;P | 21:20 |
| kulelu88 | I still hate the way they run it. As most alumni have said of local varsities, get in, get the degree and get out | 21:21 |
| gremble | I want to do Hons at Wits or UCT | 21:24 |
| kulelu88 | UCT = just too expensive for regular people | 21:25 |
| gremble | I'm have to get a bursary | 21:25 |
| gremble | :P | 21:25 |
| gremble | Going to probably apply for both mathematics and philosophy and see which one I get for | 21:25 |
| kulelu88 | bursaries don't cover accommodation afaik | 21:26 |
| gremble | I will live in the library | 21:27 |
| gremble | Shower in the sprinklers | 21:27 |
| kulelu88 | Like Stallman? | 21:28 |
| gremble | Stall-man sounds like a shitty superhero | 21:28 |
| kulelu88 | A female who studied at UCT told me that UCTs library is popular for sexual intercourse, if you are a rugby player, etc. | 21:29 |
| kulelu88 | Search for Richard Stallman. I'm surprised you don't know who he is | 21:29 |
| gremble | I know how he is. I just felt like making a poop joke | 21:29 |
| kulelu88 | oh hahaha | 21:30 |
| kulelu88 | I did really snigger there | 21:30 |
| kulelu88 | at least when they start having sex in the lib, you can say "STOP, that's my dining room!!!" | 21:32 |
| gremble | "STOP! Hammer time" | 21:33 |
| gremble | "STOP! Collaborate and listen!" | 21:34 |
| kulelu88 | I'm so bored that I am even contemplating taking a pay cut just to get something more interesting to do | 21:35 |
| gremble | Why is that? | 21:35 |
| gremble | What are you currently doing? | 21:36 |
| kulelu88 | I currently make sure sites are working properly | 21:37 |
| gremble | Hmm I can understand the slight tedium involved. Why not learn a new skill and get another job? | 21:39 |
| kulelu88 | jobs are hard to come by it seems. sending a CV is like entering into the abyss | 21:40 |
| kulelu88 | oh yeah, make sure your CV isn't too long | 21:40 |
| kulelu88 | they won't spend more than 30 seconds looking at it | 21:41 |
| gremble | Luckily I don't have that much to put on | 21:44 |
| gremble | :P | 21:44 |
| kulelu88 | if you do 2 pages, that's a solid start | 21:44 |
| kulelu88 | 3 pages and you're average | 21:44 |
| kulelu88 | 4 or more GTFO | 21:44 |
| gremble | I don't think I have enough shit for more than 1.5 :< | 21:45 |
| gremble | I've sort of just been existing most of my life XD | 21:45 |
| kulelu88 | I've seen school-leavers load their CVs with accolades enough to fill 6 pages and its like >.< | 21:46 |
| gremble | Ya. My school accolades are pretty much that I finished school with marks to get into university | 21:49 |
| kulelu88 | no sports? | 21:50 |
| kulelu88 | math olympiads? | 21:50 |
| gremble | Nope. Lived too far so didn't want my mother to drive extra. Didn't want her to pay extra for sport stuff, cause we're poor. | 21:51 |
| kulelu88 | Pretoria has too many wealthy white people, so saying you're poor is quite strange | 21:54 |
| gremble | Hahaha I wouldn't suggest it though. | 21:56 |
| gremble | Being poor that it is | 21:56 |
| kulelu88 | there's a sad difference to being white poor and black poor though | 21:57 |
| gremble | Yes. There is. I have running water and a house | 21:58 |
| gremble | And a car | 21:58 |
| gremble | But the struggle is still real. I've went to sleep hungry at times.. | 21:59 |
| kulelu88 | because the food being served for supper wasn't edible? | 22:00 |
| gremble | Ha. | 22:01 |
| kulelu88 | Do you feel obligated to look after your folks in their old age? | 22:03 |
| gremble | She won't be able to afford being old. | 22:04 |
| gremble | I'll have to | 22:04 |
| gremble | My mother recently got her first job paying more than R10k p/m | 22:04 |
| gremble | She has a degree in Occupational Therapy but worked as a temp secretary because she was "over qualified" for more permanent admin positions and couldn't get an OT job. | 22:05 |
| gremble | She's working as an OT now though, so I am glad. | 22:05 |
| kulelu88 | you have any brothers? | 22:06 |
| gremble | Yup. A brother and a sibling | 22:06 |
| gremble | I mean sister | 22:06 |
| gremble | Both younger. He is working as an Earthmoving Mechanic | 22:07 |
| gremble | She's busy with matric exams | 22:07 |
| kulelu88 | aah so there's 2 of you then | 22:07 |
| kulelu88 | don't end up as 'those' guys who let their mom stay with the sister in old age | 22:08 |
| gremble | I'll try. | 22:08 |
| gremble | Don't plan to. Would prefer she have her own place/autonomy | 22:09 |
| kulelu88 | what's your exam schedule like? | 22:10 |
| gremble | Not bad. Wrote today. Write friday and then next week Thursday. Then I am done | 22:11 |
| gremble | Unless I have a supp (which I doubt) | 22:11 |
| kulelu88 | then 2 months holiday | 22:12 |
| gremble | Yup. Get some interesting work done. I have formal logic to get through that I have been slacking off with this semester and I have writing to do xD | 22:13 |
| kulelu88 | if you have the capacity, try building a startup in those 2 months. Biggest chance of your life to be your own boss from the day you graduate | 22:15 |
| gremble | I've thought about doing something like that, but idea's are scarce. | 22:15 |
| gremble | I've thought about doing some aerodynamics to build commercial drones, because we currently import those from Europe | 22:16 |
| kulelu88 | ideas are cheap. find something people need | 22:16 |
| kulelu88 | that's too capital intensive | 22:16 |
| gremble | Yup. And skills intensive. I can work with the materials, and I have the skills to prototype, but not managing the software/hardware | 22:18 |
| kulelu88 | sell some stuff via e-commerce | 22:19 |
| kulelu88 | your sister is a teen, find some thing teens need and sell it online | 22:20 |
| kulelu88 | custom jewellery or something | 22:20 |
| gremble | That is also pretty capital intensive. Stock and such. Perhaps... hmm. I'll put my head together after thursday. I'm sure I could conjure up something interesting. | 22:22 |
| kulelu88 | dont waste time thinking too much. Just brainstorm 10 ideas, draft an MVP for 5 of them, and the most lucrative is the 1 you pursue. I swear you will not regret wasting those 2 months if it works out | 22:24 |
| gremble | MVP? Most valuable player? | 22:24 |
| kulelu88 | Minimum Viable Product | 22:27 |
| gremble | Ah | 22:27 |
| kulelu88 | aim global if you can | 22:31 |
| gremble | Have you tried to startup? | 22:32 |
| kulelu88 | I want to | 22:34 |
| kulelu88 | I'm not sure whether to try now or try it part-time (although I'm so drained after work each day that I don't even want to code anything) | 22:35 |
| gremble | :/ | 22:37 |
| gremble | So, interesting fact, I just found a way to work with relational databases in terms of linear algebra | 22:44 |
| gremble | Now just to see if I can make any interesting transformations :o | 22:44 |
