[02:17] <ubotu> crdlb called the ops in #ubuntu-effects
[03:55] <elkbuntu> let me guess, everyone's afk :(
[03:57] <gouki> Hi :)
[03:57] <tonyyarusso> are stats returning gouki?
[03:57] <gouki> Ohhh yeah! :)
[03:59] <gouki> I had some problems with the whole thing a couple of days ago. I expect to have it up and running on May 10th.
[04:03] <elkbuntu> thanks tony
[04:04] <tonyyarusso> yw
[04:34] <jdong> hey, stupid question time.....
[04:35] <jdong> any ops here use irssi?
[04:35] <nalioth> jdong: uh, yes.
[04:35] <nalioth> lots of us do
[04:35] <jdong> cool
[04:35] <jdong> I want to convert... because I was just sexually harassed for using xchat-gnome :D
[04:35] <jdong> do you guys use this auto_bleh script?
[04:36] <nalioth> some form of it, yes.
[04:36] <jdong> lol, would you be willing to explain to me how it works :D
[04:36] <jdong> like a quick rundown of the commands
[04:36] <jdong> I feel like a total moron :D
[04:36] <nalioth> jdong: /ar $nick = remove
[04:37] <nalioth>  /abr $nick = ban and remove
[04:37] <nalioth>   /aq   quiet
[04:37] <nalioth>   /ab  ban
[04:37] <nalioth>    /at quiet for 10 minutes
[04:37] <nalioth>    /ak kick
[04:37] <nalioth> have no idea what the others do, cuz i don't use 'em
[04:38] <jdong> lol, ok
[04:38] <jdong> what's the difference between kick and remove?
[04:38] <nalioth> ones a kick
[04:39] <nalioth> jdong: you don't take advantage of the freenode-centric /remove command?
[04:39] <jdong> nalioth: I was not familiar with it
[04:40] <nalioth> jdong: oh, it's much more humane than kicking someone
[04:40] <nalioth> it doesn't trigger auto-rejoin-on-kick scripts, for one thing
[04:40] <jdong> oh
[05:33] <tonyyarusso> .......
[05:35] <tonyyarusso> Seveas, nalioth, Hobbsee, LjL: ping, may I direct your attention to the following: https://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/bans.cgi?query=ohio&bans=on&mutes=on
[05:36] <nalioth> what about it?
[05:37] <tonyyarusso> Look at which people are being banned - seems a tad suspect, no?
[05:37] <nalioth> yep
[05:38] <tonyyarusso> Especially since many of those people have never been _in_ #ubuntu-ohio.
[05:38] <nalioth> yes
[05:38] <nalioth> so what point are you getting to?
[05:39] <tonyyarusso> #1) Is Ohio an official approved LoCo ?
[05:39] <tonyyarusso> #2) Is Ohio at all under our jurisdiction to care what they do with their channel?
[05:39] <tonyyarusso> #3) Do we allow unreasoned banning in #ubuntu-* namespace?
[05:41] <tonyyarusso> In short, can/should they do that?
[05:41] <nalioth> i'm on it
[05:41] <tonyyarusso> Ok
[05:57] <ubotu> bruenig called the ops in #ubuntu
[06:09] <gouki> Do you guys know who I should talk to to add UbuntuWeblogs.org to the Ubuntu Solar System section on Planet Ubuntu?
[06:10] <tonyyarusso> jdub probably?
[06:10] <gouki> Yeah, probably. I'll give it a shot.
[06:17] <tonyyarusso> gouki: geez man, anti-spam riddles _and_ manual moderatioN?
[06:17] <gouki> Heheh.
[06:17] <gouki> Only for the first comment :)
[06:17] <tonyyarusso> per e-mail?
[06:18] <gouki> Yes. Next time you make a comment it will not be held for moderation.
[06:18] <tonyyarusso> gotcha
[06:19] <gouki> Your comment was the first *ever* on my weblog :P
[06:30] <gouki> Wooww! I'm getting allot of feedback on that post :|
[06:59] <ubotu> In #ubuntu, mobutu said: ubotu sure is chatty!
[07:32] <elkbuntu> Hobbsee, ping
[07:32] <Hobbsee> elkbuntu: PONG!!!
[07:33] <Hobbsee> heya!  *hugs*
[07:33] <elkbuntu> Hobbsee, have you rung the airline to ensure you're booked in yet? additionally, you have travel insurance, right?
[07:34] <Hobbsee> elkbuntu: ringing the airline?  I ahvent got it so far, but i'm looking at it now - what'd you go with?
[07:35] <elkbuntu> Hobbsee, i went to flight center and they go through covermore, cost will be between 110 and 130
[07:35] <elkbuntu> mileage may vary
[07:36] <elkbuntu> and btw, you ring the airline to confirm times, time you need to arrive at the terminal and any restrictions per luggage etc
[07:37] <Hobbsee> ahhh, right
[07:41] <Hobbsee> elkbuntu: when do you get into sydney, btw?
[07:41] <elkbuntu> 11:25
[07:41] <elkbuntu> am
[07:42] <Hobbsee> right
[07:43] <elkbuntu> well, i'm confirmed :)
[07:43] <elkbuntu> all i need to do is cash up a cash passport tomorrow
[07:43] <Hobbsee> cash up a cash passport?
[07:43] <elkbuntu> a travel visacard
[07:43] <elkbuntu> since i dont have a cc and my parents are not likely to part with theirs
[07:45] <Hobbsee> ahhh
[07:45] <Hobbsee> visa debit?
[07:45] <Hobbsee> (type idea)
[07:45] <elkbuntu> yeah, in the foreign currency
[07:46] <elkbuntu> i still have my US ones with a small amount of US$ on them, i need to get euro ones
[07:47] <Hobbsee> ahhhh
[07:47] <elkbuntu> something else entirely. i had not heard of them either until 6 months ago
[07:48] <elkbuntu> but if you have a cc or visa debit, dont worry about it
[07:55] <Madpilot> if you've got a bank card at all, I wouldn't worry - so easy to find a bank machine everywhere.
[07:55] <Madpilot> next long trip I'm on, I'll take $200 US cash (emergency fund), and my plastic. Traveller's cheques are a waste of paper & time.
[07:56] <Myrtti> forex sells visa electrons here
[07:57] <Hobbsee> elkbuntu: yay, credit cards :P
[08:06] <elkbuntu> Madpilot, i dont have anything valid outside .au
[08:06] <Madpilot> No? .au is on the standard bank machine networks, isn't it?
[08:07] <elkbuntu> Madpilot, dunno. mine is a 'cash card' not a bank card or cc
[08:08] <Madpilot> how does that work? If it's debiting your bank account, that's still a bank card, no?
[08:09] <elkbuntu> Madpilot, nope, dont think so
[08:09] <elkbuntu> the card isnt linked to visa, mastercard or amex in any way
[08:10] <Madpilot> neither is my bank card - it's a debit card, linked straight to my bank accounts
[08:10] <elkbuntu> its a local building society too, not a bank
[08:11] <Madpilot> Burgundavia has a credit union card (similar to a building society, I think) and I know it works internationally, in most bank machines.
[08:11] <elkbuntu> they told me when i was heading to the states last year that it either wouldnt work, or would cost a crapload for each withdrawl
[08:12] <Hobbsee> elkbuntu: which bank?
[08:12] <Hobbsee> ahhh
[08:12] <elkbuntu> Hobbsee, Hume Building Society
[08:13] <Hobbsee> mine's $5 for any withdrawal from my bankcard, or $2.50 for a credit card in positive balance, all + conversion frees
[08:13] <Hobbsee> -r
[08:14] <Madpilot> ouch. You're both getting screwed by your bank/building society...
[08:14] <elkbuntu> Madpilot, welcome to australia
[08:14] <Madpilot> heh.
[08:14] <elkbuntu> we have one of the stupidest banking systems in the developed world
[08:15] <Hobbsee> Madpilot: yeah, welcome to australia :P
[08:15] <Madpilot> given the number of (drunk) Australians I've met overseas, you'd think the .au banking system would be a bit better to work w/ from outside .au
[08:15] <Hobbsee> heh
[08:17] <Madpilot> the hostels of the world would stop functioning w/o their standard-issue Aussie desk clerk/manager. ;)
[08:17] <elkbuntu> heh
[08:17] <Madpilot> likewise, every ski hill in North America
[08:23] <elkbuntu> Madpilot, did you ever think there might be reasons why said aussies leave aussieland ;)
[08:23] <Madpilot> I always assumed it was because there was no beer left at home, actually. ;)
[08:27] <elkbuntu> haha
[08:28] <Myrtti> ok, we're having a person asking help for gnome and debian at #xubuntu... he logged in as root on gdm...
[08:28] <Myrtti> *sigh*
[08:41] <Mez> Myrtti, still therE?
[08:41] <Hobbsee> right.  virgin money called, so they wont freeze my cc while i'm away...
[08:41] <Hobbsee> travel insurance done
[08:41] <Mez> elkbuntu, pink fairys?
[08:42] <Hobbsee> will call mobile people to get more credit later, when i get back from work.  and the airport tomorrow
[08:42] <Hobbsee> anything i missed, elkbuntu?
[08:42] <Mez> Hobbsee, aw, but frozen plastic tastes nice *specially when heated up!)
[08:42] <elkbuntu> Mez, nope. http://meldra.no-ip.info/RIMG0113.JPG and http://meldra.no-ip.info/RIMG0116.JPG
[08:42] <Hobbsee> Mez: hahah
[08:42] <Mez> Hobbsee, ever been to McDonalds
[08:42] <Mez> oh, no, that's cardboard
[08:42] <elkbuntu> Hobbsee, i dont know, if you'll have money, and insurance, you should be ok
[08:42] <Hobbsee> yes
[08:42] <Mez> elkbuntu, how did I know you were going to be that geeky
[08:43] <elkbuntu> Mez, not a clue
[08:43] <elkbuntu> there's also xubuntu, fluxbuntu and (backwards) gNewSense ones
[08:43] <Mez> elkbuntu, :P
[08:43] <elkbuntu> rich and oli are going to be mad at me though... i forgot edubuntu
[08:43] <Madpilot> Things to wear to the airport: http://www.casualdisobedience.com/
[08:44] <elkbuntu> i mean, seriously forgot. i remembered as i was printing on the last sheet
[08:44] <elkbuntu> Madpilot, lol
[08:44] <Mez> elkbuntu, whats the nasty black mark by the kubuntu one?
[08:44] <elkbuntu> Mez, my printer being stupid
[08:45] <elkbuntu> Mez, that's why i tested with that one, since it's a 'second'
[08:46] <Madpilot> elkbuntu, the "I am not a terrorist" shirts even come in gramatically-correct female versions
[08:46] <Madpilot> ;)
[08:47] <elkbuntu> Madpilot, im not wasting my money on customs bait tyvm
[08:47] <Madpilot> You flying to Spain via Asia, or via the Excited States of Paranoia?
[08:48] <elkbuntu> Madpilot, http://www.geekosophical.net/?p=87
[08:48] <Hobbsee> hah
[08:50] <Madpilot> wow - I always forget how far .au is from, well, pretty much everything...
[08:50] <elkbuntu> yeah
[08:50] <elkbuntu> it doesnt help that all the international airports are in the southern half of the rock
[08:51] <Madpilot> ;)
[08:51] <elkbuntu> thanks for proving him right, Hobbsee :
[08:52] <Hobbsee> :P
[08:53] <elkbuntu> Madpilot, i'll be sitting next to *that* on a plane for 29 hours :
[08:53] <Madpilot> take drugs. Or give them to her. Or both, possibly.
[08:54] <elkbuntu> highly tempting
[08:55] <Madpilot> don't forget that her Pointy Stick of Doom will have to be in checked baggage, at least ;)
[08:55] <elkbuntu> that is my only salvation
[08:58] <Mez> elkbuntu, cant you fly the other way?
[08:59] <Mez> rather than through USA?
[08:59] <Mez> nvm
[08:59] <elkbuntu> Mez, i am
[08:59] <Mez> why did I think I saw somewhere in the US in the link above
[08:59] <elkbuntu> Mez, our version of 'the other way' is going past europe to the uk then flying back into europe
[09:00] <Mez> frankfurt ist in den USA
[09:00] <Mez> :P
[09:00] <Mez> goto the UK :D
[09:00] <elkbuntu> lol
[09:00] <Mez> come see me :P
[09:00] <elkbuntu> Mez, you want me to spend an extra 6 hours with miss hyper just to visit you?! :
[09:01] <Mez> yes, #
[09:01] <Mez> I'll bring sedatives
[09:01] <elkbuntu> lol
[09:01] <Madpilot> I'm going to be in Frankfurt in Aug - layover enroute to South Africa. going to have to find some *nix geeks to get drunk with.
[09:01] <elkbuntu> we're already booked for through germany anyway
[09:01] <Mez> whereabouts in the UK would it be tho?
[09:01] <Mez> would it have been *
[09:01] <Mez> heathrow i presume/
[09:02] <Mez> Madpilot, Mark?
[09:02] <Mez> oh, in frankfurt
[09:02] <Madpilot> yeah, in Frankfurt. We'll find some in Cape Town too, probably.
[09:02] <Mez> \sh ? ogra ? sivang? siretart (not frankfurt, but right country!)
[09:03] <elkbuntu> Madpilot, i dont know who would be in frankfurt, i know dholbach is in berlin though
[09:03] <Mez> actually maybe not sivang
[09:03] <elkbuntu> Mez, i think he is
[09:05] <elkbuntu> afk
[09:06] <Mez> elkbuntu, *shrugs* no idea.
[09:06] <Mez> I cant find any reference of him
[09:06] <Mez> I just remember him from UBZ

[03:17] <Myrtti> you ident sucks
[03:17] <Myrtti> basically
[03:17] <LjL> yes, it means you can't join with that ident
[03:17] <r3ddy> yea. i was wondering why i couldnt join #ubuntu
[03:17] <r3ddy> why?
[03:17] <LjL> !language | because of this
[03:17] <elkbuntu> read your ident and take a guess
[03:17] <ubotu> because of this: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:17] <r3ddy> ooow
[03:17] <r3ddy> sorry, i never use this computer..
[03:17] <r3ddy> didnt realize what was in there
[03:17] <ikonia> its rude
[03:18] <r3ddy> i know.
[03:18] <LjL> well it's ok, just change it and you'll join fine
[03:18] <r3ddy> as soon as im done
[03:19] <elkbuntu> you'll need to disconnect and reconnect to the server

[06:34] <gnomefreak> elkbuntu: is this the same guy from the other day in -offtopic? with the child stuff?
[06:34] <elkbuntu> yep
[06:34] <gnomefreak> thought i remembered him from somewhere
[06:35] <mc44> gnomefreak: your ban in -offtopic failed due to dynamic ips :)
[06:36] <gnomefreak> mc44: it can be fixed but only so much
[06:36] <gnomefreak> cant ban every ip out there
[06:36] <gnomefreak> cant ban every name out there
[06:36] <LjL> no?!
[06:36] <gnomefreak> lol
[06:36] <gnomefreak> no
[06:36] <mc44> gnomefreak: he wasnt ban evading, if you banned his nick he would be back :p
[06:37] <gnomefreak> mc44: banning his hostmask him coming back == ban evading
[06:37] <LjL> or believing the ban was lifted
[06:37] <gnomefreak> banning name same as above
[06:37] <mc44> hardly
[06:37] <mc44> he might not have realised
[06:38] <gnomefreak> mc44: did he come back the same day?
[06:38] <mc44> next day
[06:38] <LjL> ban the ident or the name when you really want a ban to stay. those don't get changed *unless* one *means* to evade.
[06:38] <mc44> :)
[06:38] <gnomefreak> oh and i wasnt last person to ban him either iirc
[06:40] <LjL> well anyway, doesn't mean someone can't be just banned again if they were never intended to be unbanned in the first place.
