[04:30] <Myrtti>  
[04:30] <Pici> hi Myrtti
[04:30] <Myrtti> moin
[04:31] <Myrtti> shower -->
[04:31] <Pici> My shower is that way... how'd you guess?
[04:54] <tonyyarusso> Pici: Myrtti doesn't guess.
[04:55] <Myrtti> I *know*
[04:56] <tonyyarusso> Pici will never take a shower in peace again :P
[04:56]  * Pici is frightened
[04:56] <tonyyarusso> is it a bad thing if my first flickr post is kinda gross?
[05:00] <nalioth> tonyyarusso: not again!
[05:01] <tonyyarusso> what?
[05:01] <tonyyarusso> hmm, I thought F-Spot was the default photo handler now.  Guess not.
[05:01] <nalioth> thought we talked about you being gross :P
[08:37]  * kitofhawaii smacks forehead
[08:38] <elkbuntu> what is he up to now?
[08:39] <ardchoille> elkbuntu: What is required if one wishes to become a member of the community council?
[08:42] <kitofhawaii> oh he was fine :) but i caught the perfect moment to start talking to him about things, told him i was really concerned about his relationship with you guys, and the mutual mistrust, and that it was going to impede things for the team...he asked what to i mean...and the funniest thing happened
[08:42] <kitofhawaii> the power went out =))
[08:42] <ardchoille> lol
[08:42] <kitofhawaii> not only did it go out, it went out twice in about three seconds. enough to brick my wireless router :-))
[08:44] <kitofhawaii> please tell me there's no channel op command to do that =)) /kickbanbrickrouterwithpoweroutage? :)
[08:44] <elkbuntu> kitofhawaii, not that i know of, or i'd use it occasionally :Þ
[08:44] <ardchoille> hehe
[08:45] <elkbuntu> ardchoille, you mean become an ubuntu member?
[08:45] <ardchoille> elkbuntu: So all ubuntu members are also members of the community council?
[08:46] <elkbuntu> ardchoille, no, members are recognised participants of the community, the community council, a very small select group of people, decide who becomes a member
[08:46] <ardchoille> Ok, that's what I wanted to know.
[08:47] <elkbuntu> !member
[08:47] <ubotu> Want to become an Ubuntu member? Look at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember
[08:47] <ardchoille> aha
[08:49] <Myrtti> /me still isn't sure should she apply
[09:00] <PriceChild> On tv, they are beat-boxing "silent night"...
[09:01] <ardchoille> PriceChild: That's blasphemy
[09:02] <PriceChild> Its worse than (c)rap.
[09:02] <ardchoille> hehe
[09:03] <elkbuntu> so it's rap(e) then?
[09:04] <ardchoille> hahaha
[09:04] <PriceChild> Never heard or rap with the silent c?
[09:05] <PriceChild> And rape isn't funny. (shut up jdong)
[09:24] <white_eagle> hello, please take the ban off me at #ubuntu, I haven't done anything so bad to punish me for 1 day
[09:24] <white_eagle> huh?
[09:27] <white_eagle> hello
[09:27] <white_eagle> anyone
[09:27] <white_eagle> operators
[09:27] <white_eagle> none?
[09:27] <Gary> this behaviour might not be helping with the lifting of any ban
[09:27] <white_eagle> but what should I do
[09:28] <white_eagle> I didn't spam, I just told that Linux isn't an OS, that it is an kernel, and because of the "argument" that followed they banned me
[09:28] <white_eagle> a kernel*
[09:29] <PriceChild> white_eagle, please be patient.... let me read up.
[09:32] <PriceChild> white_eagle, I see you were given quite a bit of warning that your discussion was offtopic?
[09:32] <white_eagle> ........I just said that
[09:32] <white_eagle> and then again
[09:32] <PriceChild> #ubuntu has over a thousand users... and can be very very hectic. Offtopic discussion can make giving support very hard.
[09:32] <white_eagle> and nothing else
[09:33] <PriceChild> no you didn't
[09:33] <white_eagle> well what did I say
[09:33] <white_eagle> ...
[09:33] <PriceChild> You said that line.... !offtopic and !topic were called, you said it again
[09:34] <white_eagle> see, I told that 2 times
[09:34] <PriceChild> you continued offtopic talk
[09:34] <white_eagle> 2 TIMES
[09:34] <PriceChild> You were warned again.
[09:34] <white_eagle> ah, nevermind
[09:34] <white_eagle> don't want to get another ban
[09:34] <PriceChild> and then you took pride a little..
[09:34] <PriceChild> and then you were removed and banned
[09:35] <white_eagle> ah, and the others who joined the disc.
[09:35] <white_eagle> what about the
[09:35] <white_eagle> them*
[09:35] <Myrtti> that's totally irrelevant to your case
[09:35] <Myrtti> you are responsible for your own actions
[09:35] <Myrtti> they are for their own
[09:36] <Myrtti> if it was you who started it, then the responsibility is bigger for you
[09:36] <PriceChild> 1. You're the one that started it. 2. How others behave is no excuse for your own actions. 3. How others are treated has nothing to do with you.
[09:36] <white_eagle> and they don't have the lightest responsibility
[09:36] <white_eagle> right?
[09:36] <Myrtti> white_eagle: who said that?
[09:36] <Myrtti> I didn't
[09:37] <white_eagle> ah, eitherways just moving to fedora
[09:37] <white_eagle> bye
[09:37] <Myrtti> lol
[09:37] <somerville32> And who said that people don't choose their distro based on the people who use it? :P
[09:38] <PriceChild> quick Myrtti pm him back to invite him back with full apologies.... we didn't mean to go as far as to drive ALL HIS VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS towards fedora.
[09:38] <Myrtti> who cares ;-)
[09:38] <Myrtti> they all go upstream anyway, right ;-)
[09:38] <somerville32> In a perfect world :(
[09:38] <somerville32> But trust me, we don't live in a perfect world
[09:39] <PriceChild> would've let him back in probably
[09:39] <Myrtti> you pm him
[09:39] <PriceChild> lol no :)
[09:39] <somerville32> just unban him? :S
[09:39] <PriceChild> pfft no
[09:40] <somerville32> pfft. pfft.
[09:40] <Myrtti> pppfffffftttt
[09:40] <Myrtti> *HUGS*
[09:40]  * elkbuntu waits for the esr-like email

[09:45]  * somerville32 closes the curtain on his monitor
[09:45] <elkbuntu> aww, he led us on :(
[10:01] <white_eagle> sorry for before
[10:01] <white_eagle> i was irritated
[10:50] <ubotu> wols_ called the ops in #ubuntu (botattack)

[14:03] <Pici> SparX_: Let me just bring up my logs again
[14:03] <SparX_> ok
[14:03] <SparX_> but i was just testing the flood bot...
[14:03] <Pici> um.
[14:04] <SparX_> i consider i should be kicked first
[14:04] <Pici> Can I ask why you thought they needed testing?
[14:04] <SparX_> not immediatly banner
[14:04] <SparX_> *banned
[14:04] <SparX_> cos on some channels it doesnt work
[14:05]  * SparX_ is sorry.
[14:05] <Pici> So.. you thought that instead of talking to an op about it, you'd just flood the channel and think that you'd just get away with it?
[14:05] <SparX_> no
[14:05] <SparX_> i thought i would be kicked first
[14:05] <Pici> The bot didnt kick you, I did.
[14:06] <SparX_> you banned me
[14:06] <SparX_> not kicked
[14:06] <Pici> Yes, correct.
[14:07] <SparX_> i promise it wont happen again
[14:07]  * SparX_ is telling the truth.
[14:07] <Pici> See it from my side: You joined the channel, said nothing. Then 5 seconds later you tart spamming 1 blank line a second
[14:07] <Pici> s/tart/start
[14:07] <SparX_> well...
[14:08] <SparX_> anyway, if you will accept my apology do it, if you will not, then dont
[14:09] <Pici> SparX_: I can't in good conscience remove the ban at this time.
[14:09] <SparX_> whatever
[14:10]  * Hobbsee suspects people with such intelligence, or lack of it, should not be on irc anyway.
[14:11]  * SparX_ thinks Hobbsee is the only person here with lack of intelligence.
[14:13]  * no0tic thinks SparX_ has gained a time extended ban
[14:14]  * SparX_ says: "i dont care."
[14:14] <Pici> SparX_: If you have no further business here, we ask that you kindly depart.
[14:15] <Pici> well
[14:15] <Pici> I don't even have words for that.
[14:16] <LjL> ok, let me point out that "testing the floodbots" is something that would always get you a very long ban.
[14:16] <no0tic> try spamming a blank line avery 5 seconds
[14:16] <no0tic> *every
[14:16] <no0tic> hi LjL, good twilight
[14:16] <LjL> when i wrote them, i certainly didn't intend them to be an original new excuse for spamming and then having an excuse for it
[14:16] <LjL> no0tic: nah... 'tis morning
[14:17] <Hobbsee> wow...
[14:17] <Hobbsee> i wish id' stayed around.  could have kickbanned him from here myself.
[14:17] <Pici> The only reason I can think of for testing the floodbots would be to know how to tune your bot attacks
[14:17] <Hobbsee> Pici: make sure you comment him in the bantracker, please.
[14:17] <Pici> Hobbsee: Will do.
[14:18] <Hobbsee> Pici: comments such as "hobbsee thinks him a brainless git" are quite appropriate :P
[14:18]  * MenZa snickers.
[14:18] <LjL> Pici: that's one reason, another reason is to just annoy the channel and then saying "hey, i was trying to help you testing them!"
[14:18]  * Hobbsee just hopes that it *never* becomes publically accessable again
[14:18]  * Pici thinks that Mez needs to fix his ban scripts
[14:20] <Pici> Hes setting nick, ident and realname bans... :/  Good if you dont want someone coming back ever, but not really needed.
[14:21] <LjL> yeah, the banlist is already bordering on full
[14:21] <LjL> and one needs to be careful, because some idents/realnames can be pretty generic and catch a lot of folks
[14:22] <Pici> Right... like chatzilla's
[14:23]  * tonyyarusso hides
[14:23] <tonyyarusso> that never happened, of course
[14:24] <LjL> meh, we all do mistakes like that once in a while, doing it consistently as a standard way of banning is another matter though
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> ikonia: Knock knock
[15:06] <LjL> knock knock jokes are banned
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Want a joke.. was looking to see if he was around
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> wasnt
[15:07] <Pici> I thought ikonia was a girl for a while <.<
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Morning pici
[15:08] <Pici> Morning
[15:08] <LjL> Pici: seems if you stay in #u-o for a while, you end up thinking people are girls for some reason
[15:08] <Jack_Sparrow> I think he asked about the game Sudoku, I wrote two versions, and I checked and both run under wine
[15:08] <LjL> i wrote a version for epoc32 :P
[15:12] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow: you called
[15:12] <ikonia> Pici: I have good legs ;)
[15:12] <Pici> ikonia: hah
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Hi ikonia...  Were you the one that asked about the game Sudoku
[15:12] <ikonia> not me
[15:13] <ikonia> I'm not clever enough for sudoku
[15:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry then.... Whoever it was will need to find me again.. sorry for the ot
[15:13] <ikonia> must dash. Time for more xray fun
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> take care of that toe
[15:19] <Hobbsee> yay, sudoku!
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> I wrote two cool version for ugh windows..
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> both run under wine.. to my surprise
[15:27] <jdong> 10:27 < sexypatty> wet pussy needs direction to cum, not here to play games if  you want to make me cum its just $5 for 24hrs and I will do  anything you want to see baby....
[15:28] <jdong> in #ubuntuforums, just kickbanned him/her
[15:28] <jdong> dunno if staffers want to take more action
[15:47] <Jack_Sparrow> gizmorena was trying to pull users into pvt chat to give them help, I joined to see what he was up to and he is giving bad advice...
[15:49] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: Log?
[15:50] <Jack_Sparrow> It isnt terrible advice, I asked him about flash...
[15:51] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: well, what was the advice?
[15:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry trying to paste it over.. but mostly add-remove and stuff that wont work...   then install manually.. he insists it will work with opera and other browsers
[16:35] <ubotu> In #kubuntu, Minataku said: ubotu: !irda is way too old to be of any use
[16:35] <Pici> ...
[16:52] <LjL> and what's more he wasn't even kidding.
[17:18] <Pici> go go gaget ban spam
[17:19] <LjL> Pici: like finding the banlist full?
[17:20] <Pici> gizmoarena: Howdy, how can we help you today?
[17:21] <gizmoarena> hi pici
[17:21] <gizmoarena> im here to support you guys
[17:23] <LjL> rrright
[17:24] <Seeker`> that was...interesting
[17:34] <LjL> *!billgates@*
[17:34] <LjL> ^ i don't know who set this, but bans like this are useless
[17:34] <LjL> to ban an ident, +b *!?=ident@*
[17:37] <Amaranth> that always trips me up
[17:37] <Amaranth> but i didn't set that one :P
[17:39] <Pici> Bantracker says its m-ez
[17:40] <Pici> also  *!gog123@*
[17:42] <LjL> please everyone, when you have some time check your old bans and remove some. good servers to connect from are zelazny and simmons, which currently show the correct banner nicknames for bans since August
[17:43] <Pici> I usually just search on the bantracker for my name
[17:44] <Pici> But yes
[17:49] <LjL> wow, client just froze solid
[17:56] <LjL> elporro: please change your ident to join #ubuntu
[17:56] <LjL> !language
[17:56] <ubotu> Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[17:58] <jpatrick> elporro is also a bad nick
[17:58] <Pici> is it?
[17:59] <Pici> Didnt someone come in here before I recycled irc? i asked them if they needed help.
[17:59]  * Pici needs a bad advice hammer
[17:59] <no_name> it;s not really a bad name
[17:59] <jpatrick> it means the...like, a bad kind of cigarret in spanish
[17:59] <Gary> yeah, but they left Pici
[17:59] <nalioth> no_name: not your nick, your ident
[18:00] <no_name> it depends on the country of latin america
[18:00] <Pici> Gary: Didnt ask anything?
[18:00] <Gary> nope
[18:00] <Pici> Oh well.
[18:00] <Gary> well gizmoarena> im here to support you guys
[18:00] <Gary> the left
[18:00] <no_name> it can also mean a big stick like a club
[18:00] <Gary> then...
[18:01] <Pici> Odd.
[18:01] <Pici> no_name: Do you understand what we mean by your ident?
[18:01] <no_name> not really
[18:02] <LjL> no_name: well, it's the one that says "fuck".
[18:02] <jpatrick> the n=fuck
[18:02] <no_name> ohh
[18:03] <no_name> what about now?
[18:03] <nalioth> blah
[18:04] <Pici> You should be able to join #ubuntu now
[18:04] <no_name> I don't really know why Mirc asks for email
[18:04] <no_name> that's why I never take those fields seriously
[18:05] <Pici> Sigh.. someone was walking someone else through installing a suse package on Ubuntu in #u.
[18:05] <LjL> no_name: type /whois no_name
[18:05] <LjL> that's how you present yourself to other IRC users
[18:05] <LjL> Pici: the webcam thing?
[18:05] <Pici> LjL: The snack thing.
[18:06] <Pici> I'm not sure what it was for, I just saw the link to a rpm package on suse's site.
[18:09] <Gary> Pici, did you just write a blank like into #freenode ?  or are my fonts messed up?
[18:09] <LjL> he wrote some character
[18:09] <Pici> Gary: I was trying some ascii code, its probably some non-printable control character
[18:09] <LjL> otoh someone definitely pasted blank lines *again* into #ubuntu
[18:10] <Pici> vishal?
[18:11] <LjL> yeah
[18:11] <LjL> must be the blank-line-flood day today
[18:20] <LjL> being harsh on phusion.
[18:20] <LjL> i still believe he's a troll.

[18:38] <nalioth> we're trying to get a pattern on them
[18:38] <nalioth> so we can keep them from connecting
[18:39] <nixternal> hrmm, haven't been paying much attention to the IP addresses
[18:45] <nalioth> i just didn't understand the nick you pasted
[19:04] <sysdef> we (the #ubuntu-de* ops) want the lost channel #ubuntu-de-treffpunkt back for a forward to the new offtopic channel. who is the holder of the #ubuntu-* namespace? (aka the group contact)
[19:05] <nalioth> you are talking to them
[19:05] <sysdef> nalioth: heh, that's why i joined here ;D
[19:06] <sysdef> that is needed to rescue(?) the channel?
[19:09] <Pici> Tor still banned in #ubuntu/freenode?
[19:09] <sysdef> we started a new channel because the channel #ubuntu-de-treffpunkt was lost to spammers. now we use a moderated offtopic channel since more than a half year and need a forward to #ubuntu-de-offtopic
[19:11] <nalioth> Pici: tor is always banned in #ubuntu*
[19:11] <Pici> nalioth: What about users asking about tor? installing it?
[19:12] <nalioth> Pici: what about it? it is included in Ubuntu
[19:12] <jussi01> !tor
[19:12] <ubotu> Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks
[19:12] <ubotu> Attention tor users.  You may think you are anonymous, but you are not.  Please visit http://tor.unixgu.ru/ and see for yourself.   Please evaluate your need to use tor here on irc.  If you wish anonymity, Freenode offers cloaks of many different types. http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks
[19:12] <nalioth> #tor exists
[19:12] <sysdef> the group contact can come down to #ubuntu-de-op and meet us because i set +I *!*@ubuntu/member/*
[19:13] <sysdef> thanks for your help :)
[20:32]  * tomaw wonders what LjL is doing
[20:49]  * jussi01 is getting annoyed that it is almost impossible to use a n800 withirssi as there is no alt key
[20:59] <LjL> tomaw: doing nothing... my connection was acting up, i suppose.
[21:00] <tomaw> Your quite reason was Excess Flood, so it's probably something other than your connection
[21:37] <LjL> tomaw: you say excess flood? but i've, uhm, some other clones connected. they're *all* doing that.
[21:40] <Pici> stop cloning around
[21:41] <LjL> Pici: meh, i'm just being a turk trap
[21:41] <LjL> and anyway, i'm pretty sure it's not the excessive amount of clones causing this
[21:42] <tomaw> Excess Flood means your connection is sending too much data to the server too quickly
[21:42] <tomaw> If could be your large number of channels and a less than perfect client
[21:43] <tomaw> s/f/t/
[21:43] <LjL> tomaw, i'm in a large number of channels, but no CTCP requests were sent, and my client doesn't send anything else unless i tell it to
[21:43] <LjL> also, the other clones i have connected are just in #ubuntu
[21:43] <LjL> (well, were, now they disconnected because they'd lost their nickname)
[21:44] <LjL> hey hey we're having exploit attempts... well concealed ones
[21:44] <ubotu> FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (CTCP/NOTICE)
[21:45] <ubotu> FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (CTCP/NOTICE)
[21:45] <ubotu> FloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (CTCP/NOTICE)
[21:46] <LjL> gah
[21:46] <Jordan_U> Just making sure that someone noticed what just happened in #ubuntu
[21:47] <Pici> Jordan_U: no, we're just twiddling our thumbs in here
[21:47] <Pici> :p
[21:48] <LjL-Mobile> see, i didn't even excess flood *now*
[21:48] <LjL-Mobile> (although the client is still trying to send ctcp replies)
[21:49] <Pici> why +mi ?
[21:49] <Pici> oh, you turned it off
[21:49] <LjL-Mobile> Pici: because +rR wasn't enough. yeah, i turned it off after LjL turned it on - LjL tried to turn it on some 5 minutes ago... but it only went through now :)
[21:50] <LjL-Mobile> LjL was and is kind of busy replying to those CTCP
[21:50] <Pici> oh
[21:50]  * LjL-Mobile on the other hand has mode +C set
[21:50] <Pici> okay.
[21:50] <Pici> I thought LjL-Mobile wasn't LjL for a second there.
[21:50] <PriceChild> Did they finally manage to cause some trouble?
[21:50] <LjL-Mobile> PriceChild, you're surprised? today they were "testing the floodbots".
[21:51] <Pici> ugh, don't remind me.
[21:51] <PriceChild> Same guys as the ones being D-lined the past few days?
[21:51] <LjL-Mobile> PriceChild: no, those are just the turks
[21:51] <Pici> These appear to be comcast bots, the other ones were turkish
[21:51] <LjL-Mobile> spammy, but mostly harmless
[21:59] <LjL> -r
[22:00] <Pici> arr
[22:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Argh// is the correct pronuncuatuion
[22:02] <LjL> we lost at least some 60-70 users anyway for the record
[22:03] <LjL> (which does at least about match the amount of people in -unregged)
[22:04] <somerville32> Alas, Deploy the search parties
[22:06] <LjL> one thing, did floodbot1 and floodbot3 also disconnect when i kept disconnecting with excess flood earlier?
[22:11] <Pici> LjL: Doesnt look like it
[22:12] <LjL> Pici: weird, all my actual clients were disconnected :|
[22:12] <LjL> Pici: see -unregged?
[22:12] <LjL> it's possible that some server is desynced. like last time.
[22:12] <LjL> although i doubt i will obtain from steel_lady the information i need *rolls eyes*
[22:14] <LjL> Pici, are you on xchat? if so, please tell steel_lady how to do a whois on herself...
[22:14] <Pici> LjL: irssi here.

[22:35] <Pici> thor: Greetings, how can we help you?
[22:36] <tritium> Good call, LjL
[22:36]  * Pici makes sure that this is indeed -ops
[22:36] <thor> just saw the reference to this channel in #ubuntu and thought I would see what it is all about. Was actually waiting for the referred individual to show up and see how you handled it <smile>
[22:36] <LjL> thor: i doubt he'll join.
[22:37] <thor> well....I am fair to meddling with linux, but relatively new to irc....never messed with it til I started showing up to help the new kids
[22:38] <thor> I'll leave the godly chat to the gods and return to the unwashed masses <smile>
[22:38] <mneptok> grrr
[22:38] <nixternal> 16:37:38 [ kaskado__]   /msg SiLENT-021 XDCC SEND #1
[22:38] <LjL> egoelf is a complete idiot
[22:38] <nixternal> #kubuntu - does this guy think he is getting warez or what? :)
[22:40] <jdong> lol
[22:40] <jdong> ask him if he has the season 3 finale of The Office US
[22:40] <jdong> (kidding :D)
[22:40] <nixternal> hahahahahaha
[22:40] <nixternal> maybe SiLENT-021 does
[22:41] <nixternal> man, that XDCC crap so brings back the 90s
[22:43] <LjL> pricechild: communist!
[22:43] <LjL> you've given up your capitals.
[22:43] <pricechild> Wha wha?!
[22:43] <LjL> sorry that was bad.
[22:44] <PriceChild> hehe :)
[22:44] <Pici> boo
[22:44] <Pici> you're certantly no ompaul
[22:45] <LjL> i wouldn't dare try :o)
[22:46] <Pici> So, what happened with elfboy or whatever his name was?
[22:46] <Pici> I was cycling
[22:47] <LjL> Pici: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49224/
[22:51] <Pici> LjL: he definitly is a complete idiot
[22:52] <LjL> they get on my nerves so much though, when we get an attack and then, while i think i've just finally finished dealing with it, they "attack" ops like that
[22:52] <LjL> as the other one too
[22:54] <LjL> Pici: the "i know what i'm doing, trust me" one. "could you do it all in one command"?!?!
[22:54] <LjL> i'm trying to understand what the hell is going on with servers seemingly desynced
[22:54] <ardchoille> LjL: Remember, growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional.. and some folks have opted out. Nothing you can do, it's not about you, it's about them.
[22:54] <LjL> and people bitch at me for doing two +o commands and four -rR?!
[22:54] <Pici> People have such nerve..
[22:55] <LjL> i'd like to be able to hit their head against a cactus repeatedly. honest.
[22:55] <Pici> +1
[22:55] <LjL> ardchoille: yes, i usually laugh about such things. but after an attack since i'm already kind of irritable, i lose my temper
[22:55]  * LjL should just realize most of those people are probably *related* to the attack in the first place, and do it on purpose
[22:56] <ompaul> LjL, the spikes should be hard or soft?
[22:56] <ardchoille> LjL: It's ok, you're doing your best.. and that's all that anyone can ask of you. I, for one, appreciate you and I'm sure I'm not alone.
[22:57]  * Gary passes LjL a nice hot mug of hot chocolate
[22:57] <Pici> Its the 1 user that can ruin it, while the other 900 people in the channel are saying thanks (thankfully not out loud)
[22:57] <ardchoille> Pici: Yeah
[22:58]  * LjL did fine with a cigarette, but thank you gary
[22:59] <LjL> Pici: yeah that's true pici, i wouldn't like to see all 1000 of them saying thanks, although sometimes a percentage do =)
[22:59] <LjL> ompaul: uhm... soft, but only because i've calmed down a bit now
[23:02] <LjL> ok so... now let's see if i can patch the bots so that they can find new ways to get around them.
[23:02] <Pici> Did we not detect the mass join?
[23:03] <LjL> Pici: there was no mass join, i think (although i should check the logs). it wasn't very many of them, but they sent many CTCP - and they were registered.
[23:03] <Pici> hmm.
[23:03] <LjL> Pici: the bots did detect a CTCP flood (and then *maybe* they detected a mass join, i don't know, because they don't report *further* attacks after one was just done)
[23:04] <LjL> Pici: then they set +rR, but that did very little to them, since they were registered. then they started banning them, but they were too slow at it, and about 70 people still managed to excess flood
[23:04] <LjL> Pici: but the most interesting thing happened *before* the CTCP attack. there were a couple of DCC exploits
[23:04] <Pici> LjL: I still saw a bunch of people in unregged get k-lined
[23:04] <LjL> although i doubt anyone even noticed
[23:05] <LjL> Pici: well, maybe some weren't registered. some certainly were, or they wouldn't have been able to keep CTCPing...
[23:05] <LjL> Pici: did you notice the dcc exploits?
[23:05] <Pici> LjL: I didn;t
[23:05] <LjL> [Fri Dec 21 2007] [22:43:11] Part       igcynpiu has left this channel ("DCC CHAT startkeylogger").
[23:05] <LjL> [Fri Dec 21 2007] [22:43:13] Part       imrfbxpftlbd has left this channel ("DCC CHAT startkeylogger").
[23:05] <LjL> [Fri Dec 21 2007] [22:44:22] Part       igcynpiu has left this channel ("DCC CHAT startkeylogger").
[23:06] <LjL> only kind of exploit the bots cannot detect.
[23:06] <Pici> Dont scare me like that
[23:06] <LjL> (well, they will in about 10 minutes, but)
[23:09] <Pici> odd
[23:11] <LjL> the bots really didn't behave that bad.
[23:11] <LjL> it was the attack that was good.
[23:11] <LjL> the first +rR was set way too late, though
[23:12]  * Pici needs to look at his logs
[23:16] <LjL> Pici: hold on, i'll get you something better
