[12:36] <robin__> they arent replying
[12:36] <afraz> the are probably working
[12:36] <somerville32> robin__: Hi Robin :)
[12:36] <somerville32> robin__: The reason you were removed from #ubuntu was because you were offtopic.
[12:37] <somerville32> Offtopic discussion should occur in #ubuntu-offtopic or #freenode-social
[12:37] <afraz> hey somer who is th ops of freenode-social
[12:37] <somerville32> You can ask there.
[12:37] <somerville32> However, you are not banned from #ubuntu
[12:37] <somerville32> You were simply removed.
[12:38] <somerville32> However, if you continue to be offtopic in #ubuntu, you will be banned.
[12:38] <alecjw> somerville32: he was kicked one, he came back, and then he was banned the second tinme (i think)
[12:38] <somerville32> Offtopic discussion includes *everything* but Ubuntu support.
[12:38] <somerville32> alecjw, ah, didn't see that
[12:38] <alecjw> --- apokryphos sets ban on *!*@cpc3-hatf3-0-0-cust986.lutn.cable.ntl.com
[12:38] <afraz> somer what about mine
[12:40] <somerville32> mm
[12:40] <afraz> can i too ask or request for unban
[12:40] <somerville32> robin__: I'm afraid you'll be banned for the next 24 hours.
[12:40] <somerville32> robin__: Please visit #ubuntu-offtopic for further offtopic discussion. If you require support, you may try the alternative #xubuntu and #kubuntu support channels. Maybe someone there will be able to help you.
[12:41] <somerville32> afraz: When Seveas returns, he'll unban you.
[12:41] <afraz> are you serious
[12:41] <afraz> would he really do it???
[12:41] <TheSheep> no, but you can ask :P
[12:41] <afraz> i am scared
[12:42] <afraz> second thing i will regret the most my in my life getting banned from a channel
[12:42] <PriceChild> afraz, please give it at least 24 hours without asking
[12:42] <somerville32> lol
[12:42] <afraz> ummm what time did i get banned
[12:43] <alecjw> somerville32: he's crashed his computer and signed out. i've given him your message on msn though
[12:43] <somerville32> o

[12:48] <somerville32> PriceChild: Any news on my request? : )
[12:48] <PriceChild> somerville32, not yet sorry
[12:48] <PriceChild> somerville32, its there.. just no admin comments yet
[12:48] <maxamillion> PriceChild: alright ... i was a little rude on the forums last night though

[12:48] <somerville32> Ugh oh
[12:49] <PriceChild> maxamillion, I could point out to you an EIGHT page thread where I instructed someone how to isntall java and mercury messenger.... that EIGHT pages of just me and him/her....
[12:49] <maxamillion> PriceChild: i appologized in a later post ... just wanted to warn you incase you hear something about it

[12:53] <maxamillion> WOW
[12:53] <maxamillion> i'm off work ... heading home
[12:53] <maxamillion> bbl
[12:53] <PriceChild> have fun
[01:42] <somerville32> http://ubuntustats.homelinux.org/ubuntu-ops/ <-- Interesting.
[01:44] <somerville32> And I talk too much
[01:46] <Hawkwind> Seems that proves that there is way too much general chit chat in here that might shouldn't be done in here really
[01:46] <somerville32> I don't think so
[01:46] <somerville32> If you look at the chart
[01:47] <Hawkwind> Seveas: I thought these stats were supposed to be different from the ones I've been doing for #Kubuntu for 8+ months ?  Seems these stats are identical to what I've got running
[01:48] <somerville32> They do look identical
[01:48] <somerville32> I was hoping that they would be the more comprehensive ones that I've seen other channels have
[01:49] <Hawkwind> I was under the impression they would have daily, weekly and monthly totals and have a lot more categories and such
[04:18] <rob> not sure why everyone needs to be serious all the time, general chitchat between ops is good for moral and team bonding
[04:19] <tonyyarusso> rob: But does it belong here or with the same people in -offtopic channels?
[04:19] <somerville32> -offtopic generally offtopic :P
[04:19] <rob> tonyyarusso: it doesn't matter, this channel is fine as long as it stops during times where the channel is needed for op related things
[04:20] <tonyyarusso> rob: Sounds reasonable to me
[04:20] <somerville32> *-offtopic is generally offtopic
[04:20] <Hobbsee> rob: +1.  people said otherwise?
[04:20] <rob> Hobbsee: Hawkwind did
[04:20] <somerville32> [20:42]  <somerville32> http://ubuntustats.homelinux.org/ubuntu-ops/ <-- Interesting.
[04:20] <somerville32> [20:43]  * PriceChild will talk less
[04:20] <somerville32> [20:44]  * somerville32 is too popular.
[04:20] <somerville32> [20:44]  <somerville32> And I talk too much
[04:20] <somerville32> [20:46]  <Hawkwind> Seems that proves that there is way too much general chit chat in here that might shouldn't be done in here really
[04:21] <PriceChild> No I just said that because i was under the impression there shouldn't be chitchat and don't want to challenge it
[04:23] <rob> PriceChild: with normal users, generally there shouldn't be (offtopic is a much better place for that), but between ops I don't see the harm in it
[04:24] <PriceChild> ok :)
[04:27] <somerville32> I was surprised to see that people say my name almost as much as Seveas' lol, 
[04:27] <tonyyarusso> I was surprised I was #7
[04:28] <somerville32> Hobbsee, just made the top 20 ;] 
[04:29] <Hobbsee> somerville32: hehe
[04:35] <Hawkwind> I mentioned it only because Seveas has mentioned that the general/offtopic chat shouldn't really be here that much.  Or something similar
[04:39] <tonyyarusso> I had a bit of a braindump - feedback requested:
[04:39] <tonyyarusso> An "introductions" feature in the bot similar to wpbot in #wordpress (go chill there for a while to see what I mean)
[04:39] <tonyyarusso> SOLEY for *-offtopic channels, obviously
[04:42] <Hobbsee> !hi
[04:42] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu-ops!
[04:42] <somerville32> !-hi
[04:42] <ubotu> hi has no aliases - added by Seveas on 2006-07-11 17:20:25
[04:43] <somerville32> Hmm
[04:43] <tonyyarusso> I just realized there are a bunch of new users that I don't know, so it would be cool if we could get some sort of entrance message, I thought.
[04:44] <somerville32> From chanserv?
[04:45] <tonyyarusso> I don't think we can mess with chanserv...
[04:45] <tonyyarusso> somerville32: you in the wp chan?
[04:46] <tonyyarusso> If so I can demonstrate
[04:46] <somerville32> demonstrate please
[04:47] <Hobbsee> tonyyarusso: just think of how many people *dont* read #ubuntu's notice on entry
[04:47] <tonyyarusso> Hobbsee: I know
[04:48] <somerville32> Most interesting
[04:48] <tonyyarusso> For Hobbsee: "22:47 < wpbot> tonyyarusso is sexah (like Ryan12) and currently at http://www.xanga.com/tonyyarusso, and looking for something else - he needs tips on plugins, hosting, and that kind of fun stuff while considering wordpress
[04:48] <tonyyarusso> (Someone else added the first part - haven't figure out how to remove yet..lol)
[04:48] <Hawkwind> You want a bot that does that or something similar ?
[04:49] <Madpilot> chanserv already does that in a number of channels. It gets ignored, just like topics
[04:49] <Hobbsee> tonyyarusso: ahh
[04:49] <tonyyarusso> Hawkwind: I've considered it anyway.
[04:49] <Hawkwind> There are many many users that wouldn't visit a channel where that is happening.  A lot of users consider it useless spam as well
[04:49] <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: Does cs talk in-chan, or /notice?
[04:49] <somerville32> Hawkwind, less people in -offtopic would not be a bad thing, lol
[04:50] <Hawkwind> ChanServ does it via /notice for the entry message
[04:50] <tonyyarusso> Hawkwind: I can see that, and agree it would be awful in most channels, but _possibly_ cool in offtopic ones
[04:50] <Hawkwind> somerville32: Personally, I disagree
[04:50] <Hawkwind> somerville32: I don't go to -offtopic channels because of what they are for, I'd be less inclined to go if there was a bot that does something like that or similar
[04:51] <tonyyarusso> Can you be more specific Hawkwind ?
[04:51] <somerville32> #ubuntu-offtopic is disgusting and lacking much need moderation. Why anyone would want to spend time there is beyond me as it is almost to a point where you can't enjoy it.
[04:52] <Hawkwind> tonyyarusso: My personal opinion/feeling is on those kinds of things is that it's script kiddie stuff(from being on a server that was nothing but that for a long time) and it's nothing less than absolutely annoying
[04:52] <tonyyarusso> Noted somerville32 
[04:52] <Hawkwind> It fills the buffer unnecessarily and such, and just not attractive.  Not something I like and it would keep me from ever joining said channel(s)
[04:52] <tonyyarusso> Hawkwind: But, considering that you're not the sort who enjoys offtopic channels as it is, do you think it's possible that crowd may feel differently
[04:52] <tonyyarusso> ?
[04:52] <Hawkwind> somerville32: Unfortunately, a big majority of -offtopic channels are like that.  It's what they are made for unfortunately
[04:53] <Hawkwind> tonyyarusso: Possible, but chances are, most of them won't
[04:53] <Hawkwind> tonyyarusso: Only thing is, you can get the opinions of the regulars and that helps, but then the ones you have to really worry about are the new users
[04:54] <tonyyarusso> Hawkwind: Perhaps I'll do some informal polling for a few weeks
[04:54] <Madpilot> PriceChild, nah, #ubuntu-offtopic is more akin to the Forum's 'Cafe' forums - nowhere near as strange as the Backyard could get
[04:54] <somerville32> tonyyarusso, a test run would most likely be better
[04:54] <tonyyarusso> somerville32: true
[04:55] <Hawkwind> tonyyarusso: Might be a good idea.  Just tossing something like into the channel will certainly cause mixed reactions that really shouldn't be done within the channel
[04:55] <PriceChild> Madpilot, hehe debatable
[04:55] <somerville32> It is the only way to find out
[04:55] <tonyyarusso> somerville32: Also, feel free to direct feedback on #ubuntu-offtopic moderation to me - I've generally been pretty lenient, but get the feeling I need to crack down a bit given some recent directions.
[04:55] <Hawkwind> The problem is that users won't always complain in pm, they do it in the main channel, and that's what is going to cause an even bigger issue
[04:56] <somerville32> tonyyarusso, I don't even visit there anymore
[04:56] <tonyyarusso> I can test it in a personal channel and invite people :)
[04:56] <tonyyarusso> somerville32: ah, ok
[04:56] <somerville32> Hawkwind, How so?
[04:56] <somerville32> -offtopic is just full of crap anhow
[04:56] <somerville32> Discussion of sex, drugs, sexual orientation, violence, etc.
[04:56] <somerville32> *crap*
[04:56] <Hawkwind> somerville32: As an op, you don't want to add more crap to the channel.  You want to clean it up
[04:57] <somerville32> Hawkwind, But I thought you said thats what -offtopic is for
[04:57] <Hawkwind> So as an op you try to keep as much of that *out* of the channel that you can.  Throwing that bot in there is just going to add to it
[04:57] <Hawkwind> somerville32: That's how they end up due to lack of proper moderation and such
[04:57] <somerville32> I mentioned it to Seveas and he said no
[04:58] <somerville32> Half the ops in -offtopic don't even visit there anymore
[04:58] <somerville32> And there is no point in trying to "peer moderate"
[04:58] <somerville32> They just tell you to stfu and call you a noob
[04:58] <somerville32> And then you try to tell an op and they say "You, as an op, should have a tougher skin"
[04:59] <somerville32> lol
[05:00] <Hobbsee> ...
[05:00] <Hobbsee> then you tell them off for disobeying the COC.
[05:01] <somerville32> The user or the op? ;p
[05:03] <Hawkwind> Surely banning them for saying such things would solve some problems
[05:05] <Hobbsee> the user, but the op if they do the same
[05:07] <somerville32> Hobbsee, Yup but unfortunately that only provokes them further
[05:07] <somerville32> #ubuntu-offtopic simply needs more dedicated ops that actually visit the channel to help moderate it
[05:08] <Hobbsee> so does #ubuntu
[05:08] <somerville32> Someone besides me will have to chat with Seveas because I think I've used up all my whining points ;] 
[05:09] <linux_kid> #ubuntu-offtopic could seriously use some more ops.  the current ops could scope out frequent users and ask them to become ops maybe?
[05:10] <somerville32> I rather just add existing ops from other channels
[05:10] <somerville32> Though that might not be enough
[05:10] <somerville32> And we might have to ask some trustworthy users
[05:11] <Hobbsee> Amaranth: :)
[05:11] <linux_kid> yes, existing ops work, too
[05:11] <somerville32> lol
[05:11] <somerville32> and maybe Travis could be forgiven by now ;] 
[05:12] <Amaranth> All issues have been resolved, afaik.
[05:12] <Amaranth> So it's just Seveas now
[05:13] <Hobbsee> pity he hasnt been here for 7 hours
[05:13] <somerville32> s/Seveas/IRC Council
[05:13] <Hobbsee> right, so it's nalioth too then
[05:13] <Amaranth> Did the 3rd spot ever get filled?
[05:14] <Amaranth> I seem to have been unsubscribed from the ml too
[05:14] <Amaranth> or no one posts to it anymore
[05:14] <somerville32> Amaranth, subscribe again then
[05:14] <somerville32> :)
[05:16] <Hobbsee> Amaranth: no one posts to it
[05:16] <Hobbsee> iirc
[07:09] <mneptok> hrm
[07:10] <mneptok> 01:09 -ChanServ(ChanServ@services.)- An access level of [10]  is required for [OP]  on #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:10] <mneptok> i'll get Seveas to add me. i idle in -offtopic and can keep an eye on things.
[07:10] <somerville32> Correction. You'll ask Seveas to add you ;] 
[07:12] <mneptok> somerville32: Seveas does what i tell him to do. he knws the alternative is me asking in person, which is his greatest fear.
[07:13] <elkbuntu> do you need ops atm?
[07:13] <somerville32> hehe
[07:13] <somerville32> elkbuntu, I think he was replying to earlier discussion
[07:13] <mneptok> elkbuntu: not that i can tell
[07:13] <DBO> mneptok, the greatest fear of us all no doubt is meeting you in person
[07:13] <somerville32> mneptok, Did you diss me yet? :)
[07:13] <elkbuntu> somerville32, im hardly paying full attention, since im rather busy at the moment
[07:13] <somerville32> elkbuntu, understood :)
[07:14] <somerville32> elkbuntu, good luck, btw :)
[07:14] <elkbuntu> hi DBO!
[07:14] <DBO> how are you?
[07:14] <somerville32> heh
[07:15] <elkbuntu> somerville32, it would have been damn nice if the cds canonical sent us could have included some ku and edu, so now we're trying to find a way to get the loco allocation for those, to the conf, when the person who has them cant make it to the conf :(
[07:15] <somerville32> lol
[07:15] <somerville32> Ouch
[07:16] <elkbuntu> especially when RichEd emails me and asks if i'll have cds for him to hand out
[07:16] <somerville32> lol
[07:16] <somerville32> Beautiful
[07:16] <somerville32> Get the sticks ok?
[07:16] <somerville32> *stickers
[07:17] <elkbuntu> the stickers? we got some, but we didnt get an actual conference pack, just a crapload of cds
[07:17] <somerville32> blog about it yet? ;] 
[07:18] <elkbuntu> no, it's not worth it
[07:18] <elkbuntu> i'll have at least two canonical employees to bitch to face-to-face
[07:19] <elkbuntu> oh.. no, 3.. no, 4
[07:19] <somerville32> hehe
[07:19] <elkbuntu> start feeling sorry for jono ;)
[07:23] <elkbuntu> heh. the thing is you see, christina told me she was going to deal with it, and organise us stuff. back around when we had the marketing team meeting. marilize emailed me about 10 days ago to confirm shipping details. there was no hint of anything in between.
[07:24] <elkbuntu> so i got the cds last week, but we have had no sign of shirts, stickers, other than those included with the cds, or leaflets
[07:25] <somerville32> No shirts either!? 
[07:25] <elkbuntu> nope
[07:25] <elkbuntu> someone in our team has made some iron ons with printable iron on stuff
[07:25] <elkbuntu> but it's still pretty crap
[07:25] <somerville32> lol
[07:26] <elkbuntu> if someone tells me they're going to deal with something, and tell me not to worry about it, i like said things to be pulled off
[07:29] <afraz> are you talking to me somers
[07:29] <afraz> nevermind
[07:31] <somerville32> nope
[07:38] <mneptok> elkbuntu: ping Jono re: CDs
[07:38] <elkbuntu> mneptok, i fully intend to, unless you're hinting the poor bastard is online now
[07:39] <somerville32> Someone just (I think jokingly) did a DCC exploit
[07:39] <somerville32> in #kubuntu
[07:39] <mneptok> elkbuntu: i'll try to find marilize tonight and see if she can't get some to Rich, or express them to you
[07:39] <elkbuntu> mneptok, we've already had 1000 cds delivered, all ubuntu PC
[07:40] <elkbuntu> mneptok, i really dont want to be a thorn here, just venting. peter is being a pita for us by being slow to respond re making arrangements and all
[07:42] <elkbuntu> (peter is the one with our loco allocation of cds)
[07:42] <mneptok> elkbuntu: s'ok hon. i know you're venting. and you damned well know all my cow-orkers expect me to be a right PIHA myself, so Saul Goode.
[07:42] <mneptok> *PITA
[07:50] <elkbuntu> shift is too much effort :
[07:52] <elkbuntu> mneptok, i just dont want to sound like im ungrateful. im thankful for each and every cd sitting in the boxes in my loungeroom, but i dunno, it's going to look bad for rich (and canonical) if he doesnt have any edubuntu cds to hand out
[07:52] <elkbuntu> i have 4 left over from UDS, not sure how many the others in the team have
[07:53] <mneptok> elkbuntu: *nod* the t-shirts and stickers, ehhh ... but Rich has been sent and paid for, and he needs CDs.
[07:54] <elkbuntu> yeah, the stickers are negligable. i have like 68 here, plenty of 'powered by' stickers
[07:55] <elkbuntu> the thing is, the education miniconf is monday and tuesday, which makes it damn hard for the cds to get to us now
[07:56] <somerville32> why is the locobot in #xubuntu?
[07:57] <afraz> hey somers
[07:57] <afraz> its almost 3 minutes to 2am on watch
[07:58] <afraz> can i have request to be unban please
[08:00] <afraz> is it 24hr on my ban
[08:05] <mneptok> 05:15 < RichEd> Speaking of LCA ... Jono can you bring any leftover Edubuntu CDs from BETT to Aus ?
[08:05] <mneptok> 05:16 < jono> RichEd: will try
[08:05] <mneptok> 05:16 < jono> RichEd: did melissa not order a bunch?
[08:05] <mneptok> 05:16 < RichEd> thanks ... I'll check with her as well
[08:05] <mneptok> looks like they know
[08:05] <mneptok> 05:16 < jono> RichEd: I am gonna try and cram as much in my suitcase as possible
[08:05] <mneptok> :)
[08:07] <elkbuntu> try now, afraz 
[08:07] <afraz> thx
[08:07] <afraz> one mint
[08:07] <elkbuntu> mneptok, great... 
[08:08] <afraz> thx
[08:09] <afraz> it works
[08:09] <somerville32> afraz: If you get banned again, it'll be longer
[08:09] <afraz> is the ban only for 24 hrs
[08:09] <somerville32> Please behave yourself in -offtopic
[08:09] <afraz> ok
[11:42] <apokryphos> the thing about -offtopic is that the people that speak there the *most* shouldn't be ops
[11:43] <Hobbsee> hah, indeed
[11:43] <Hobbsee> we're still discussing this, are we?
[11:45] <apokryphos> I just woke up and saw the comments
[11:45] <Hobbsee> ah
[11:59] <Amaranth> heh
[11:59] <Amaranth> where is the next council meeting
[11:59] <Amaranth> err, when
[12:05] <gnomefreak> tba
[12:06] <Hobbsee> *quietly
[12:06] <Hobbsee> is there to be another?
[12:07] <xipietotec> h4x! auto-ban scripts =P
[12:07] <Hobbsee> no, not autoban
[12:07] <Hobbsee> well, not really
[12:08] <Amaranth> aww
[12:08] <xipietotec> =P you must really hate that lart
[12:08] <Hobbsee> hehe
[12:09] <Hobbsee> well, it does get annoying, at times. when it gets really annoying, i mute the bot :P

[12:11] <Hobbsee> Amaranth: sure about that?
[12:11] <Amaranth> maybe not
[12:11] <Seveas> @lart 28 Hobbsee 
[12:11] <Amaranth> I could do it in a PM and laugh with myself ;)

[04:16] <Seveas> jenda/rob: around? 
[04:29] <sebastean> I know this channel is for IRC, but do you know where to find maillist admins?
[05:41] <Seveas> sebastean, mailman@lists.ubuntu.com
[05:54] <Terry_L> hello ops...I have a question
[05:54] <DBO> hello Terry_L 
[05:54] <DBO> I have an answer
[05:54] <DBO> lets see if they match
[05:54] <Terry_L> I was in #ubuntu a little while ago, and was banned for spam...how long must I wait
[05:54] <DBO> how long ago?
[05:55] <Terry_L> I was just being silly, but got banned...and I want to apologize
[05:55] <Terry_L> it was maybe an hour or two ago
[05:55] <Terry_L> ...now I really need ubuntu help
[05:55] <DBO> what name were you using?
 btw...if I continually ask the same line, will it boot me off the server?
[05:55] <Terry_L> I was listed as Ian_L
[05:56] <DBO> ahhhhh
[05:56] <DBO> ah yeah
[05:56] <DBO> 24 hours
[05:56] <Terry_L> ah
[05:56] <Terry_L> OK, well I want to say I'm sorry anyways
[05:56] <DBO> ok thank you =)
[05:56] <Terry_L> I really didn't know that doing that was bad
[05:57] <DBO> it interrupts the whole channel
[05:57] <LjL> yes you did
 Ian_L: don't be a moron - or you'll get banned
[05:57] <LjL> and still you went on
[05:57] <DBO> and makes it very hard to follow your tech support convo
[05:57] <DBO> Jan 13 09:33:34 <Ian_L>	ikonia...you dont have that authority, dont threaten folks
[05:57] <DBO> Jan 13 09:33:44 <ikonia>	Ian_L: I'm just warning you in advance
[05:58] <Terry_L> I wouldn't think a moderator would call me a moron
[05:58] <Terry_L> therefor, I thought he was just egging me on
[05:58] <DBO> he wasnt a moderator
[05:58] <Terry_L> what was he?
[05:58] <DBO> just a user
[05:58] <DBO> Seveas was the one who banned you
[05:58] <Terry_L> oh, a user can boot another?
[05:58] <LjL> someone who wasn't happy - understandably - at your flooding
[05:59] <Terry_L> ok, thanks bud
[05:59] <Terry_L> could you just pass on to Seveas that I am truly sorry
[05:59] <Terry_L> thanks
[06:00] <Terry_L> I'm 40 yrs old, and certainly dont normally act that way, but the name calling got to me
[06:00] <Terry_L> ...could you possibly help me with a suggestion?
[06:01] <apokryphos> if you're talking about support, then no
[06:01] <Terry_L> ...I tried the Ubuntu 6.10 CD on two PCs and it didn't load
[06:01] <Terry_L> oh, ok..thanks
[06:01] <dabaR_> Terry_L: you can msg me if you are regd on freenode
[06:02] <Terry_L> sorry, im new to this whole chat app..so I dont know how to reg
[06:02] <Terry_L> but thanks a bunch, dabar...good person
[06:02] <dabaR> !register > Terry_L 
[06:03] <Terry_L> did you register me or just give me the info?
[06:03] <LjL> the latter. you have a query from ubotu.
[06:04] <Terry_L> thanks again
[06:04] <Terry_L> btw...do you guys do this for free?
[06:04] <Terry_L> ..or is this a job?
[06:05] <LjL> free
[06:05] <Terry_L> ah
[06:05] <Terry_L> btw...which is better...mIRC or the other one?
[06:05] <Terry_L> is it xChat?
[06:05] <LjL> mIRC isn't available for Linux
[06:05] <Terry_L> ok, whatis the other one called?
[06:05] <LjL> X-Chat is the standard one on Ubuntu's GNOME
[06:06] <Terry_L> this mIRC I'm using on my M$ OS doesn't look as nice as x-chat
[06:06] <LjL> you can get X-Chat for Windows (however, the X-Chat that comes by default in Ubuntu is the GNOME version, i think, and it looks different from plain X-Chat)
[06:07] <Terry_L> when you say different, it looks and acts differently?
[06:08] <Terry_L> I do like hte x-chat in KNoppix I was using on Live CD
[06:08] <LjL> i think so. i don't use either flavor though.
[06:08] <Terry_L> which do you use, bud?
[06:08] <LjL> konversation
[06:08] <Terry_L> looks like a linux flavor
[06:08] <LjL> sorry? Konversation is another client
[06:09] <Terry_L> right right...that's what I meant...but its for Linux, right?  Not windows?
[06:09] <LjL> i don't think it's available for Windows right now
[06:09] <Terry_L> ok
[06:09] <Terry_L> are all you guys from the US?
[06:15] <apokryphos> Terry_L: you can join #ubuntu-offtopic for general talk
[06:15] <Terry_L> OK guys...thanks again for all your help
[06:16] <Terry_L> take care
[06:52] <apokryphos> LjL: no need for the +R -- no-one's talking
[06:55] <apokryphos> ok, BearPerson says botish connections stopped
[08:08] <sebastean> thank you Seveas
