[12:26] <Hobbsee> elkbuntu: you here?
[12:26] <Hobbsee> what's elkbuntu's email address?
[12:28] <atoponce> melissa AT meldraweb DOT com, per NickServ
[12:28] <mc44> elkbuntu@ubuntu would work too Im sure :)
[12:28] <Hobbsee> oh, found it
[12:28] <Hobbsee> quite possibly, yeah
[12:36] <Hobbsee> elkbuntu: please check your email - particularly, the email from dionne
[12:36] <Hobbsee> (my forward to you)
[12:36] <Hobbsee> seeing as we want to get that booked ASAP
[04:18] <elkbuntu> oh bugger.. missed her
[06:36] <Mez> Can I ban him for that ?
[06:37] <tonyyarusso> I'm thinking - probably
[06:38] <Mez> for threating to btflood :D
[06:38] <tonyyarusso> done
[06:38] <Amaranth> *sigh*
[06:38] <Amaranth> some people...
[06:40] <Fujitsu> Who's this?
[06:40] <Mez> WinXpPro> Biggie Mistake
 Your channel will now Halt as i bring 2000+ bots to it
 ad then u will know what a Flood is!
[06:40] <Mez> nalioth, ping
[06:41] <Mez> or SportChick seeing as you're not /away
[06:41] <SportChick> hi Mez
[06:41] <Mez> SportChick, what's freenode policy on the above (threatening a botbet attack)
[06:42] <SportChick> hrm
[06:42] <SportChick> Mez: where is that from?
[06:42] <tonyyarusso> SportChick: #ubuntu
[06:42] <Mez> that was in PM (he also threated the same thing in #ubuntu before tonyyarusso kicked him
[06:42] <SportChick> so far I see nothing
[06:43] <Mez> me either, but cheers
[06:45] <Madpilot> 2000 bot / actual IQ of threatening party = zero bots, I suspect
[06:46] <Mez> Madpilot, sorry, error, division by zero
[06:46] <Madpilot> exactly
[06:47] <Mez> Damned trolls
[07:20] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Wow, sounds like fun. o.O
[07:20] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Anyone feel like trading for a quiet channel?
[07:34] <ubotu> In #kubuntu, eduard said: ubotu - ho far is till the mars?
[11:01] <nalioth> the massive life-changing bot swarm never materialized?
[11:02] <Hobbsee> hrm?
[11:09] <nalioth> someone was threatening to bring 2000+ bots in to #ubuntu earlier
[11:09] <Hobbsee> oh fun
[01:31] <tsmithe> Seveas, ping
[01:32] <tsmithe> Seveas, will Ubugtu ever be coming back to #ubuntuforums ?
[01:34] <nalioth> oh no, Ubugtu has flown the coop
[02:13] <gnomefreak> nalioth: a guy i know from #motu sent email for 20+ channel (one of the staffers told him to do that) is that the right process?
[02:15] <nalioth> gnomefreak: i don't understand
[02:28] <Hobbsee> nalioth: to get rid of hte 20 channel limit
[02:28] <nalioth> Hobbsee: gnomefreak wrote ambiguously (does he want 20 #ubuntu channels?)
[02:29] <gnomefreak> its early for me today sorry :(
[02:29] <Hobbsee> nalioth: i realise that, yeah.  he wants his 20 channel limit remove
[02:29] <Hobbsee> d
[02:30] <nalioth> Hobbsee: i got that now, but gnomefreaks original sentence puzzled me
[02:30] <Hobbsee> ahh
[02:31] <Tm_T> gnomefreak: I usually have that effect
[02:31] <Tm_T> just by my appearance (:
[02:31] <gnomefreak> :)
[02:33] <gnomefreak> Hobbsee: isnt beryl in universe? didnt know main devels needed to push it
[02:34] <Hobbsee> gnomefreak: they need to push stuff thru binary NEW
[02:34] <Hobbsee> it is.
[02:34] <gnomefreak> ah ok
[02:36] <Seveas> beryl-in-main
[02:36] <Seveas> and the world collapses
[02:37] <effie_jayx> Seveas,  is it fixed now?
[02:37] <Hobbsee> Seveas: world is laready collapsing - beryl and compiz are merging.
[02:37] <Seveas> effie_jayx, what?
[02:37] <Seveas> Hobbsee, I KNOW!
[02:37] <Hobbsee> :P
[02:37] <Seveas> that scared the bejeezus out of me
[02:37] <effie_jayx> Seveas,  beryl... the package seem to be broken
[02:38] <Seveas> nocoment
[02:38] <Hobbsee> effie_jayx: we know.
[02:38] <Hobbsee> effie_jayx: someone uploaded the wrong version or something.  enough said.
[02:39] <effie_jayx> thanks guys ... I just wanted to know if it worked now :D
[02:39] <Hobbsee> new packages are waiting in binary NEW
[02:40] <gnomefreak> merging is bad imho
[02:40] <Seveas> Hobbsee, prod $random_archive_admin ;)
[02:40] <Hobbsee> Seveas: done.
[02:40] <Hobbsee> :)
[02:40] <Seveas> Hobbsee, prod $random_archive_admin again
[02:40] <Seveas> :p
[02:40] <Fujitsu> Hobbsee: Isn't it more than beryl-plugins hasn't been NEWed at all yet?
[02:41] <Hobbsee> Fujitsu: it's got sources in the archive..
[02:41] <Fujitsu> Binary NEWed, then.
[02:41] <Fujitsu> Not an incorrect version.
[02:41] <Hobbsee> oh, yeah
[02:41] <Hobbsee> aquamarine was the wrong version
[02:41] <Hobbsee> didnt build.
[02:41] <Fujitsu> Ah.
[03:14] <nalioth> we're having a bot problem, if y'all havent noticed
[03:16] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Are there 2000 of them?
[03:16] <nalioth> if you're not being bothered, that's good
[03:19] <elkbuntu> ooh, the turks again
[03:19] <LjL> yeah the turks
[03:19] <LjL> i've been bothered by two of them in PM
[03:19] <LjL> but they weren't in #ubuntu (or had just left, didn't check, i banned anyway)
[03:20] <elkbuntu> i'm yet to get one
[03:20] <ompaul> LjL, let us know when you do pm
[03:20] <LjL> ompaul: hm? you mean when i *get* pm?
[03:21] <LjL> anyway i got only those two right on join, then nothing more
[03:21] <LjL> or you mean when i ban based on PM?
[03:21] <ompaul> stop, I will explain :)
[03:22] <nalioth> LjL: we want to know then the buggers /msg you
[03:22] <ompaul> when you get a pm, please announce the name
[03:22] <LjL> okays
[03:22] <ompaul> if you want to do it with a !sta f f here and then say bots name
[03:22] <LjL> 85.108.121.198 and 61.94.175.168 were the ones i got, but i suppose they'd be long done
[03:22] <ompaul> it would be useful
[03:22] <ompaul> they will be done
[03:23] <ompaul> already but - the eariler we get them the better
[03:23] <LjL> i'll join some clones
[03:23] <nalioth> LjL: not necessary
[03:24] <LjL> nalioth: it's not necessary, it just catches more of them
[03:24] <effie_jayx> hehe
[03:25] <effie_jayx> ;)
[05:06] <LjL> GodTodd: please fix your quit message
[05:06] <LjL> it's kind of... inappropriate
[05:08] <GodTodd> sorry
[05:08] <GodTodd> fixed
[05:09] <LjL> unbanned
[05:09] <LjL> make sure it stays fixed :)
[05:25] <ubotu> Announcement from my owner (Seveas): ubotu will be offline for maintenance
[05:30] <kbrooks> hello
[05:30] <kbrooks> Anyone here? ping.
[05:31] <kbrooks> anyone there? okay...
[05:31] <kbrooks> i think that ubuntu_noob is spamming something in #ubuntu
[05:32] <kbrooks> erm, never mind
[05:32] <kbrooks> sorry all
[05:32] <kbrooks> bye
[05:45] <elkbuntu> so... iirc... we have ubot3 because ubotu is struggling with load... now ubugtu's load is going to join it? hoo boy
[05:47] <apokryphos> there will be two bots; they'll be duplicated
[05:47] <elkbuntu> aha cool
[05:48] <elkbuntu> but saves managing 3 or 4.. i getcha
[06:03] <GodTodd> not sour grapes, but merely a question...how is a nick of "HornyHouseWife" family friendly?
[06:04] <Tm_T> it's not IMO
[06:04] <atoponce> it should be encouraged to be changed
[06:05] <Tm_T> GodTodd: and is "godtodd" not any provocative then?
[06:05] <Tm_T> ;)
[06:06] <GodTodd> i was merely trying to discern where the line was
[06:06] <Tm_T> I know, I was joking
[06:06] <LjL> it's a difficult line to draw indeed
[06:06] <GodTodd> i agree
[06:06] <atoponce> i think HornyHouseWife is past that line
[06:07] <Tm_T> agreed
[06:17] <Seveas> godtodd is nowhere near that line...
[06:45] <apokryphos> RIP Ubugtu
[06:47] <PriceChild> permanent? :O
[06:48] <Seveas> yes
[06:48] <Seveas> merged with ubotu
[06:48] <mc44> as long as @t is safe :)
[06:48] <Seveas> @t
[06:48] <ubotu> Immortaliy can be achieved by wearing Mr. T's necklaces, but he is the only creature strong enough to carry this load
[06:48] <mc44> woo!
[06:48] <Seveas> %t
[06:48] <ubotu> Mr. T is Tony Robinson's motivation.
[06:49] <Seveas> (both @ and % will work for ubotu)
[06:49] <PriceChild> how rare
[06:49] <Seveas> not really :)
[06:49] <PriceChild> Seveas, Is the load lessened with only one bot?
[06:50] <Seveas> yes
[06:50] <Seveas> @quit brb - final steps of maintenance
[06:50] <PriceChild> wooo :)
[06:51] <PriceChild> suppose everything only has to be parsed once this way :)
[07:01] <Seveas> apokryphos, which channels is ubot3 in?
[07:02] <apokryphos> #easyubuntu, #ubuntu-us, +#ubuntuforums-beginners, ##apple, #ubuntu-au, #ubuntu-il, #ubuntu-midwest, #ubuntu-ohio, #ubuntu-ops, #ubuntu-programming, +#ubuntu-ni, #ubuntu-chicago, #ubuntu-ca, #ubuntu-uk, #ubuntu-gr, #ubuntuforums-hardware
[07:03] <apokryphos> have to shoot off for a bit though, see you
[07:53] <darx> i was here with yesterday with a request to get my ban on #ubuntu lifted
[07:54] <darx> is Seveas here atm?
[07:54] <Seveas> no
[07:54] <darx> Seveas: hi there
[07:54] <darx> I got banned coz i foolishly pasted a bunch of code..
[07:55] <darx> it was like a few months ago and i was a noob and still is
[07:55] <darx> so please forgive me and accept my sicere apologies
[07:55] <apokryphos> I really doubt you were banned for only pasting
[07:55] <darx> apolryphos: yes.. what else could a noob do
[07:55] <darx> as far as i know thats all that i think i did
[07:56] <apokryphos> !tab
[07:56] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[07:56] <apokryphos> darx: they could do a lot of other things.
[07:56] <apokryphos> hm, is the bantracker up again?
[07:56] <darx> apokryphos: i don't follow you..
[07:57] <darx> ?:-(
[07:59] <darx> i was possibly known as rabidphage then
[07:59] <darx> i don't know for sure
[07:59] <PriceChild> darx, give us a few moments please
[08:00] <apokryphos> 2007-02-15T13:19:20 <Rothbuntu> oh lawd ive been tricked
[08:00] <apokryphos> 2007-02-15T13:19:26 <Rothbuntu> VISTA SAVE ME
[08:00] <apokryphos> that and a few other things. You were trolling, not pasting.
[08:00] <apokryphos> Lying to us is not a very nice way to go about things...
[08:00] <darx> apokryphos: are you talking to me?
[08:02] <apokryphos> ah, turns out t hat wasn't you; just another charming user at the same time
[08:04] <apokryphos> darx: the ban will be lifted for now.
[08:04] <apokryphos> it's very possible that the ban on you was a mix up, but we can't be sure.
[08:04] <darx> apokryphos: well there you have it..
[08:05] <apokryphos> darx: you can join #ubuntu directly now. Sorry about the hassle.
[08:05] <darx> i'm pretty sure i won't get banned unless i'm in a religious channel
[08:05] <darx> :)
[08:05] <apokryphos> =)
[08:06] <darx> thank you guys... best of luck with your endeavours..
[08:07] <PriceChild> Hasn't joined #ubuntu yet...
[08:08] <atoponce> keep an eye on his ip. i'm skeptical
[08:09] <PriceChild> He's from Wolverhampton.... who isn't :P
[08:16] <NotAmaranth> darx is the one from last night, i think
[08:17] <NotAmaranth> he really did just paste a bunch of shit into the channel instead of using a pastebin
[08:17] <PriceChild> he wasn't in the bantracker that I could see...
[08:17] <PriceChild> under hostname, nick or alt nick
[08:19] <NotAmaranth> he was yesterday
[08:19] <NotAmaranth> maybe he spelled the alt nick wrong but a similar one was given yesterday and it was just a large paste
[08:19] <Tm_T> heh
[08:19] <NotAmaranth> there was a guy that got autobanned for a CTCP VERSION too
[08:19] <apokryphos> well he couldn't have had the same hostname
[08:20] <atoponce> NotAmaranth: that happened to me in #ubuntu-loco
[08:20] <apokryphos> there was only one hostname ban that would've prevented him from getting in
[08:20] <atoponce> s/$/teams/
[08:20] <NotAmaranth> @rainbow carebearstare
[08:20] <NotAmaranth> aww
[08:22] <Tm_T> elkbuntu: ping
[08:30] <PriceChild> emet has been directed to -read-topic
[08:30] <PriceChild> he worked out he could rename himself _emet* to bypass it
[08:30] <PriceChild> I'm tempted to kick and banforward *emet* to -read-topic so he fixes it properly?
[08:30] <PriceChild> or *!*@*unafilliated/emet of course...
[08:30] <Tm_T> go for it
[08:31] <nalioth> why aren't we banning host masks to #ubuntu-read-topic ?
[08:31] <PriceChild> I don't know :)
[08:32] <PriceChild> nalioth, seen as you're here too, you're ok with me doing this?
[08:33] <PriceChild> Not that I don't trust you Tm_T :)
[08:33] <Tm_T> PriceChild: why not?
[08:33] <nalioth> PriceChild: it's ban evading, after all
[08:33] <Tm_T> PriceChild: you trust those hu-mans instead?!
[08:34] <PriceChild> bah i did a remove instead of kick...
[08:34] <PriceChild> uu no he found it :)
[08:35] <Tm_T> hmm, this emet is in #ubuntu+1 too it seems :)
[08:36] <PriceChild> grrr and he's asking the same question :(
[08:36] <nalioth> Tm_T: we don't worry so much about #ubuntu+1.  it doesnt have almost 1200 people in it
[08:37] <Tm_T> nalioth: I know, just noticed, no other means in my saying
[08:38] <emet> Hello
[08:38] <PriceChild> Hi emet
[08:38] <PriceChild> Ready for a test?
[08:39] <emet> hack me please
[08:39] <emet> yes
[08:39] <PriceChild> Please join #emet
[08:42] <PriceChild> emet, you may now rejoin #ubuntu :)
[08:42] <emet> thank you
[08:53] <LjL> nalioth, we aren't banning hostmask (or at least i'm not, but i think i was the one starting the not-by-hostmask thing) because *in theory* those people shouldn't attempt to evade their bans, since we're just telling them about a router problem
[08:53] <LjL> so banning by nick is more effective than banning by a [possibly dynamic]  IP address
[08:53] <LjL> also, some hostnames are way too long for a +b line to work when you add !#ubuntu-read-topic to it
[08:54] <LjL> not to mention that it's far easier to do it by nickname on my client :P
[08:54] <nalioth> :/
[08:55] <LjL> there's some people who are *still* in read-topic after *weeks* they've been forwarded, which probably mean they care about neither their routers nor #ubuntu
[08:55] <LjL> the bans by nickname are quite effective in those cases
[09:21] <Arwen> um, it's been about five months since Seveas banned me, anyone here considering lightening up?
[09:23] <PriceChild> Try 3 months
[09:23] <Arwen> ...
[09:23] <PriceChild> And you'll have to wait until Sev.eas has time for you.
[09:24] <Arwen> yeah screw that, you know, I was under the impression that Ubuntu meant "humanity to others"
[09:24] <Tm_T> oh my...
[09:24] <PriceChild> oh no :(
[09:25] <nalioth> the pot calling the kettle black
[09:25] <mc44> mmm time for some tea
[09:34] <Seveas> PriceChild, ever seen Arwen/anon32 in action?
[09:35] <PriceChild> Seveas, i saw him on the bantracker :)
[09:35] <Seveas> heh ;)
[09:35] <Seveas> gotta love the bantracker
[09:36] <Seveas> speaking of which, let's test if it works
[09:36] <PriceChild> my ban on emet worked earlier :)
[09:36] <Tm_T> Seveas: he's been pretty ok in #kubuntu lately though
[09:37] <PriceChild> Tm_T, his exit from here says otherwise :P
[09:37] <Seveas> PriceChild, I'm not at all surprised he gets frustrated after you refered him to me
[09:37] <Seveas> he knows he stands 0.000000001% chance
[09:38] <PriceChild> Haha well I don't think anyone else here wants to take this upon themselves :P
[09:39] <Tm_T> PriceChild: yes, well, as said, IN #kubuntu
[09:40] <PriceChild> Hehe what do I know :)
[09:42] <Seveas> no comment :p
[09:42] <PriceChild> haha
[09:43] <LjL> btw this emet was sent to read-topic before, i'm sure
[09:43] <PriceChild> LjL, yes
[09:43] <PriceChild> LjL, same fiasco of evading if you look, hob,bsee banned then me.z rebanned :)
[09:45] <LjL> [Sun Feb 18 2007]  [23:25:31]  Mode      LjL sets mode: +b emet!*@*!#ubuntu-read-topic
[09:45] <LjL> tsk
[09:48] <emet> I use multiple routers
[09:48] <emet> I travel alot :o
[09:49] <LjL> it's ok, but why evade bans instead of just connecting to 8001
[09:49] <emet> I'm still banned if I go to 8001
[09:50] <emet> I have to be tested and alot of times no one is here to do it :o
[09:51] <LjL> emet: in that case, i suppose i can understand. but make sure you actually do *ask* in here, if you just join you'll mostly be ignored (my IRC client, for example, doesn't even *show* there's been a join in a channel unless i'm in that channel's window)
[09:51] <Seveas> LjL, if you just use port 8001 *all the time* you won't be banned
[09:51] <emet> xchat?
[09:51] <Seveas> err, emet*
[09:52] <LjL> Seveas: yeah he said he travels... if it's different computers, i suppose...
[09:52] <LjL> emet: no, konversation
[09:52] <Seveas> LjL, so? :)
[09:52] <Seveas> port 8001 is just as easy as 6667
[09:52] <LjL> Seveas: err, except it's not default, while 6667 generally is, so if you forget :)
[09:53] <LjL> i mean, *i* don't type /server irc.freenode.net 6667, i just type /server irc.freenode.net :P

[11:33] <jenda> I'd leave it that way for a while, till it sinks in.
