| inetpro | good evening everyone | 08:48 |
| * nuvolari mumbles something about people breaking things and going on leave when stuff is still in a broken state | 09:21 | |
| nuvolari | oh hi inetpro! | 09:21 |
| nuvolari | :'( everything was fine when I left | 09:21 |
| Kilos | evening inetpro | 09:57 |
| Kilos | thats the way things work nuvolari | 09:58 |
| inetpro | Kilos: eh! | 09:58 |
| inetpro | still morning for you sir | 09:58 |
| Kilos | dont do anything you can leave for someone else to fix | 09:58 |
| Kilos | oh ya you right, sorry inetpro | 09:58 |
| inetpro | as usual | 10:21 |
| Kilos | haha and so cheeky at it too | 10:51 |
| inetpro | always | 11:18 |
| Kilos | inetpro do you know what a VLN number is on a visa application please | 12:24 |
| Kilos | or superfly or anyone else | 12:24 |
| inetpro | is that not like the qunique application number? | 12:28 |
| inetpro | unique* | 12:28 |
| inetpro | as in when u apply you get a VLN number with the application | 12:29 |
| inetpro | Kilos: ^^ | 12:30 |
| Kilos | i have no idea inetpro | 12:30 |
| Kilos | thats why im asking | 12:31 |
| inetpro | look at your application | 12:31 |
| Kilos | ive googled and other peeps have the same problem | 12:31 |
| Kilos | nowhere says anything about a VLN number only a reference number | 12:34 |
| inetpro | sounds like something you really need to track down asap | 12:34 |
| Kilos | one cant even mail them directly, even that is an online function | 12:34 |
| Kilos | im gonna try put the ref number in the vln number block | 12:36 |
| Kilos | stupid site, you ask for password reset and it doesnt even give that option in the reply mail. just logs you in with email on 2 lines | 12:37 |
| superfly | I hear my name? | 12:55 |
| Kilos | superfly do you know what a VLN number is in a visa application please | 12:56 |
| Kilos | and where you get it | 12:56 |
| Kilos | maybe its not given when you do an online application | 13:01 |
| Kilos | sigh | 13:01 |
| superfly | No. | 13:10 |
| superfly | That's what they call it. That's their name. It's not a standard abbreviation. | 13:10 |
| superfly | Kilos: if you want to know what a vln is, you're going to have to ask them | 13:11 |
| Kilos | im trying ty superfly | 13:11 |
| MaNI | whatever it is it should be on your receipt apparently | 13:12 |
| MaNI | "Visa Lodgement Number" | 13:15 |
| Kilos | we paid online as well MaNI | 13:23 |
| Kilos | ill ask tara | 13:23 |
| Kilos | ty for that | 13:23 |
| Kilos | hi Langjan | 13:37 |
| Langjan | Hi Kilos did you find those numbers? | 13:37 |
| Kilos | nope tara looking now if she can find the vln on the online receipt | 13:38 |
| Kilos | the payment receipt | 13:38 |
| Langjan | Oh did they apply from that side? | 13:38 |
| Kilos | she paid the cost from her account | 13:39 |
| Langjan | ok but did you lodge the application? | 13:39 |
| Kilos | she did most of the typing and stuff for me on the same account | 13:39 |
| Kilos | i gave her my particulars and she logged in as me | 13:39 |
| Langjan | and you or she must have received confirmation of lodgement - no wonder you hear nothing if you have not been quoting those details. | 13:41 |
| inetpro | exactly my point | 13:41 |
| inetpro | hi oom Langjan | 13:42 |
| Langjan | hi inetpro | 13:42 |
| Langjan | how are you keeping? | 13:42 |
| inetpro | warm! | 13:42 |
| inetpro | ons kook hier in Gautengeleng | 13:42 |
| Langjan | Ja here at Warmbaths also | 13:42 |
| Langjan | but not like before Xmas | 13:43 |
| inetpro | ou bome begin al vrek van die hitte | 13:43 |
| Langjan | Ja dis die hitte en droogte, daars nie meer water in die grond nie... | 13:44 |
| inetpro | have a Baldcypress that is like 50 years old turned brown like in Winter | 13:44 |
| inetpro | http://www.arborday.org/trees/treeguide/TreeDetail.cfm?ItemID=787 | 13:45 |
| Langjan | Sjoe! Ek het twee avocado boompies gepanlt. albei dood | 13:45 |
| inetpro | and a yellowwood of almost 20 years | 13:45 |
| Langjan | The cypress is an exotic swamp dweller, will soon die of no water but the yellowwood, eish! Skade! | 13:47 |
| inetpro | Maaz: coffee on | 13:47 |
| * Maaz flips the salt-timer | 13:47 | |
| Langjan | Amla is also wilting! | 13:48 |
| inetpro | lol | 13:48 |
| Langjan | He started wilting in India, should not have played to my mind | 13:48 |
| inetpro | eish! 89/3 ? | 13:49 |
| Langjan | Players must be picked on form, not history | 13:49 |
| inetpro | yep | 13:50 |
| Langjan | Yes he started the collapse, lost his wicket and upset Elgar's concentration | 13:50 |
| inetpro | let's hope AB can wake up from his sleep | 13:50 |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for inetpro! | 13:51 |
| Langjan | AB is wide awake but cannot win matches on his own | 13:51 |
| inetpro | Maaz: dankie | 13:51 |
| Maaz | Groot plesier inetpro my vriend | 13:51 |
| Langjan | Kilos, did you get those numbers? | 13:52 |
| Kilos | nope still looking | 13:52 |
| Kilos | i dont member ever seeing the first mail with that info in | 13:53 |
| Langjan | I would think it should have been an automatically-generated process via the website when the application was lodged. | 13:59 |
| Langjan | inetpro, while you're here, I have had a prob with my folders. When I try to save a new | 14:02 |
| Langjan | inetpro, any suggestions? when I use the "select" and "move to" options to save a document among my existing document folders, the folder list that comes up is shown in what appears to be a random order instead of alphabetical. | 14:04 |
| inetpro | Langjan: what application or file manager? | 14:06 |
| Langjan | Saving a new doc from Libre Office Writer into "My Documents" | 14:08 |
| Langjan | inetpro, saving a Libre Office Writer doc to "My Documents" | 14:12 |
| inetpro | sounds like you need to google the libreOffice forums for an answer on that | 14:15 |
| Langjan | I have, no joy but will try again. Am trying to emulate the prob, unsuccessful - will have to go when it happens again. Thanks | 14:17 |
| inetpro | I would rather use a file manager for managing files though | 14:17 |
| inetpro | default file manager in Ubuntu is Nautilus | 14:18 |
| inetpro | on KDE that would be Dolphin | 14:19 |
| inetpro | but there's many others | 14:19 |
| Langjan | Youve lost me now, but I have never been aware of how the docs are managed | 14:19 |
| Langjan | Will Nautilus not be automatic for docs in my home folder? | 14:22 |
| inetpro | a file is a file is a file | 14:25 |
| Langjan | You've lost the old man inetpro | 14:26 |
| inetpro | Nautilus gives you a graphical display of all your system and personal files | 14:27 |
| Langjan | Nautilus shows installed and when I click open it shows my docs in home folder, also all the other files | 14:29 |
| inetpro | allowing you to move and organise files and folders much more effectively than LibreOffice's file dialog | 14:29 |
| Langjan | I don't know about Libre Office file dialog, only use Libre Office to generate new files | 14:30 |
| inetpro | sorting and finding files is much easier in a proper file manager | 14:31 |
| Langjan | inetpro, seems to me like file manager is default in Ubuntu 14.04? | 14:32 |
| inetpro | 12/29 16:18:43 <inetpro> default file manager in Ubuntu is Nautilus | 14:32 |
| Langjan | Thats what I thought | 14:33 |
| inetpro | they just call it "file manager" these days | 14:33 |
| inetpro | I think | 14:33 |
| Langjan | Well I never have a prob managing my files except for this niggle which I am not even sure when it happens, will be on the lookout for it | 14:35 |
| inetpro | it's one of those applications that everyone is just expected to magically know how it works these days | 14:35 |
| inetpro | in the old days you would find a complete guide for it | 14:36 |
| inetpro | some people still prefer something like GNU Midnight Commander (also known as mc, the command used to start it) | 14:37 |
| Langjan | I remember peeps referring to nautilus, never knew what it was | 14:38 |
| inetpro | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Commander | 14:38 |
| inetpro | also worth reading is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_manager | 14:40 |
| Langjan | Well I'm confident thats what my system is using - Nautilus. Thanks | 14:44 |
| inetpro | on windows you would be using something called the windows explorer, not to be confused with internet explorer | 14:44 |
| inetpro | even if those two are very closely linked to each other these days | 14:44 |
| inetpro | make that "inseparably linked" to each other | 14:46 |
| inetpro | fortunately, generally accepted throughout the Unix community, Unix programs have always been expected to follow the concept of DOTADIW | 14:50 |
| inetpro | Do One Thing and Do It Well | 14:50 |
| Kilos | lol | 14:53 |
| Kilos | i sent the mail to them with the visa ref number in the vln place now to wait up to 3 working days for a reply | 14:54 |
| inetpro | why only today oom Kilos? | 14:55 |
| inetpro | should have done it at least yesterday | 14:55 |
| Kilos | this is the third one | 14:55 |
| inetpro | now you'll have to wait until next year | 14:55 |
| Kilos | ya should have done it yesterday but one should expect at least some proficiency with visa peeps | 14:56 |
| Kilos | they do it all day everyday | 14:56 |
| Kilos | i even asked them to check if it hasnt been misplaced or lost | 14:56 |
| inetpro | hope they don't get "gatvol" and forget about your application altogether | 14:57 |
| Kilos | and to get me the vln number because i hunted all the old mails from them and no vln number anywhere | 14:57 |
| Kilos | im the one that should be gatvol | 14:58 |
| Kilos | wanted to spend Christmas with my girls | 14:58 |
| Kilos | i also reminded them that my last application took 2 years | 14:58 |
| inetpro | Kilos: it's called bureaucracy | 14:59 |
| Kilos | idiocracy | 15:00 |
| inetpro | a form of government, the authority of which is not so much to accomplish anything, but to obstruct accomplishment by anyone else | 15:00 |
| Kilos | no wonder the world is in such a state | 15:00 |
| Kilos | hahahaha so true that | 15:00 |
| inetpro | or administration characterized by excessive red tape and routine | 15:01 |
| Kilos | nope | 15:03 |
| Kilos | its all about money | 15:03 |
| Langjan | Should have been done 17 December... | 15:03 |
| Kilos | if you have a few mill and want a tourist visa theyll offer an immigration visa | 15:03 |
| Kilos | so they have time to work out how to get it out of you | 15:04 |
| inetpro | you should have married a rich girl oom Kilos | 15:04 |
| Kilos | ja | 15:05 |
| Langjan | Ja jy kan nie jou familie kies nie maar jy kan jou vrou kies... | 15:05 |
| Kilos | but they nag too much because they hold the purse strings | 15:05 |
| Kilos | we didnt have a choice even sigh | 15:06 |
| Langjan | no you do the nagging, they must just pay | 15:06 |
| Kilos | first sight and all was lost | 15:06 |
| Kilos | lol | 15:06 |
| Langjan | Well I'm sure it will all be worth the wait Kilos | 15:07 |
| Kilos | if i can get there definitely | 15:07 |
| Langjan | Take heart - every day is one day closer | 15:07 |
| Kilos | hahahaha | 15:07 |
| Langjan | serious! | 15:08 |
| Kilos | ja man but so is death | 15:08 |
| Kilos | ill be a crock in a few years time | 15:08 |
| Langjan | Death is an open door to eternity, life eternal given by grace to all who accept it | 15:09 |
| Langjan | Gota go Kilos , will check on you again soon | 15:10 |
| Kilos | go well my friend | 15:10 |
| Kilos | look after yourself | 15:11 |
| Kilos | ty for the help | 15:11 |
| Langjan | Thanks you also, wish I could help more, only a pleasure | 15:11 |
