pavlushkaHello nsnzero !05:51
pavlushkapaddatrapper: lol05:51

pavlushkapaddatrapper: I meant to say, some day you might say, argh, I sleep past those days ;)05:55
pavlushka*passed05:55
pavlushkaor past, I am not sure.05:56
paddatrapperpavlushka: ah I see. Yeah at the moment I'm just so tired most of the time. Doing too much... 05:59
paddatrapperPassed. Past is a noun05:59
pavlushkapaddatrapper: like half past ten?06:08
nsnzerosleep is something i never get - i have a 6 month old baby - i really am missing it 06:11
magespawnnsnzero: babies are fun that way06:12
pavlushkamagespawn: have some, then we will see, :p, or you have that already?06:13
nsnzeroits was fun - now its a chore , waiting for an upgrade were the sleep function is properly implemented - now it is at random intervals06:15
paddatrapperpavlushka: I think so... :) 06:21
magespawnpavlushka: mine are now 14 and 1006:23
magespawnnsnzero: awesome experience06:23
pavlushkamagespawn: I am reading between the lines that "Goodness, I have way passed those days of sleep walking, mine are now 14 and 10", :p06:25
pavlushkamagespawn: and that's why now you are feeling happy and you can says its fun, face it nsnzero , :p06:26

dlPhreakpavlushka: I hate it when that happens.06:32
pavlushkabut I have a replacement which I forgot, lol06:33
dlPhreakIs it very cold where you stay?06:33
pavlushkamy co-ordinates are 26.25°N 88.50°E, its very Hot here in this time of year, running Rainy Season, here, so hot and humid, the feels like temp is even higher.06:36
pavlushkawe set our house close to the Equator, so we are in the Hottest part almost, :p06:37
dlPhreakpavlushka: Ah, that's actually quite nice. I live on the kzn south coast so we have a similar situation with humidity. It's winter but still moderately warm.06:40

roabishback at ya :)08:25
theblazehenhey chesedo, roabish08:42
theblazehenwebDid anyone catch when I went offline earlier? Assuming ping timeout, right?12:53
MaNI[12:49] * theblazehen has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds)13:00
theblazehenwebty MaNI 13:04
theblazehenwebNetwork cable came loose or something at home I think13:07
theblazehenwebMaNI: You in centurion or something right?13:07
MaNInah, I'm in Gordons Bay - my wife is from centurion originally though (I'm from Edenvale originally), and she own a portion of a property there through an estate (thats why I was enquiring if there is currently an issue with electricity bills this month that side)13:10
theblazehenwebAh, okay. Well, if anyone else is in the area, anyone know where to get a null modem cable?13:18
calhaxyo yo yo!13:19
calhaxI'm trying out weechat!13:19
MaNIheh, interesting question13:19
MaNII recently was looking for one this side - I eventually just gave up and hacked up two normal serial cables13:20
MaNIended up being quicker than trying to source one locally :(13:21
theblazehenwebhey calhax. That's great13:21
theblazehenwebMaNI: Hmm, okay13:21
MaNIbut might be easier your side - I assume you've tried places like communica?13:21
theblazehenwebWell, you could just swap wires in one cable right?13:21
theblazehenwebHmm, nope13:21
MaNIyeah pretty much13:21
thatgraemeguyI'd try Linkqage, sounds like the kind of thing they might still have somewhere13:22
MaNIin my case it was just one cable to swap - but also I needed female to female - and everywhere only sells male->female13:22
theblazehenwebDon't really feel like paying shipping, but I guess I may need to then13:23
calhaxWhat would you guys recommend as a good "budget" laptop that will run ubuntu problem free?13:23
MaNIJust cut it in the middle and spliced the two female sides back together with the one cable swapped over, hehe13:23
theblazehenwebty thatgraemeguy 13:23
theblazehenwebMaNI: Cool, ty13:23
theblazehenwebcalhax: What exactly is cheap?13:24
MaNIwhat you can also do is just buy the connectors - and make up your own13:24
MaNII'm pretty sure communica or somewhere probably stocks the connectors still13:24
calhaxunder 800013:24
MaNIhttp://www.communica.co.za/Catalog/Details/P1402400334 < or go for something like that13:25
theblazehenwebMaNI: That'll run as null modem too?13:26
theblazehenwebJust bought a PCI serial card..13:27
MaNII think some of them can - but not 100% sure - good question13:27
theblazehenwebMaNI: Hmm, will give it a try13:29
calhaxany suggestions theblazehenweb 13:29
MaNIseems scoop might be able to help as well13:30
theblazehenwebcalhax: In general Aetheros wifi, intel graphics should work great13:30
MaNItry searching "laplink cable" instead of "null modem cable"13:30
theblazehenwebcalhax: Lots of people love older thinkpads13:30
theblazehenwebMaNI: Good point. Ty13:30
calhaxwhat about older DELL machines?13:32
superflyThinkpads are excellent, but a bit pricey.13:32
theblazehenwebcalhax: Dunno about older, but running a dell here, works great13:33
theblazehenwebOnly think I don't have running is RTC wake from S513:33
superflyThe Acer machines are usually OK (build quality is is not bad, but not great), Dells are generally good, but also pricey13:33
superflyI have a Toshiba netbook, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it13:33
calhaxwhats the model superfly 13:34
SEpticmeh, Dell next business on-site support is amazing13:34
superflycalhax: it's a 2011 netbook, you can't get them anymore13:34
calhaxI ask about dell because the company I work for deals in the exclusivly 13:34
calhax*them13:34
SEpticbut newer Dells i find are flimsy and plasticy, not good for factory work13:34
SEpticmy 2 cents13:34
calhaxSEptic: have you seen the latest latitudes? work gave me one its awesome, and strong, only issue... windows MF 713:35
MaNIMy old HP compaq laptop has been pretty solid13:35
MaNIcan't comment on their new stuff though13:35
SEpticcalhx: i got a E5440 ... i use it for office work, i use my HP Elitebook 8460p for factory work13:36
superflycalhax: this is what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-NB505-N508BL-10-1-Inch-Netbook-Blue/dp/B004G8QZPG/ref=sr_1_213:36
calhaxseems like budget laptop are getting crappier and crappier, Asus makes a laptop with the ram moiunted to the board with no extra slot13:36
superflycalhax: but it's not a "workhorse"13:36
MaNIThink all brands have decent ones and duds though - best to do research on specific models13:36
theblazehenwebBut yeah, can debate a lot on the hardware / build quality / specs, but as long as you don't get broadcom wifi you're good. Or skylake processor, some issues there still afaik. But your budget won't have you getting one of those13:37
calhaxthese new low power CPUS suck balls thats one thing i can take to the bank13:37
theblazehenwebAll I need is a laptop that can run firefox dev edition with up to 150 tabs and ssh / git / zsh / termite 13:38
theblazehenwebHave a Latitude 3540 here13:38
calhaxnice theblazehenweb 13:51
SEpticstupid question ... formatting a hdd from a freeNAS format14:06
SEpticfreeNAS just wont flippen let go14:06
theblazehenwebSEptic: You mean the zfs format?14:11
theblazehenwebWith BSD or whatever partition table?14:11
SEptictrying to format it to ext414:14
SEpticdone it many times, but first time converting a zfs to ext414:14
SEpticubuntu server 16.0114:14
calhaxafk enjoy lads14:17

Kilosor Squirm and nuvolari_ 17:51
MaNIpretty subjective, different people want to see different things :)17:52
Kilosi have never made a cv17:52
cal_pyhmmmmmmmmm17:54
MaNIGenerally IMO, qualifications and experience, only ones that are relevant to the position on hand not the waitress job you did while studying. Any personal projects that are relevant. As little irrelevant filler as possible, the keep it shorter than 2 pages rules is generally good.17:54
MaNIIt should look like you struggled to keep it under two pages and had to leave lots of things out, rather than like you had to put in lots of filler just to make it to two pages. For anything else there are interviews :)17:55
cal_pyok cool thank MaNI that was helpful 17:55
