[15:06] jussi01: australia + the fact i don't wake up in the morning [15:06] because it requires australians. [15:08] and what would be wrong with ~ 0700 utc? ... [15:08] the fact that i don't wake up in the morning [15:08] ahhh [15:08] although, i suspect 7am would be kind of ungodly even for the regularly-waking brits :) [15:09] well perhaps not [15:09] LjL: hehe... 3 am is my kind of ungodly hour... [15:12] anyway if you have items to put on the agenda, i say put them there anyway, and if you can't come, explain them to me or someone else who'll be at the meeting and we'll report [15:12] since notice about the meeting was admittedly given a bit late [15:13] stdin: is the !brokenkde factoid still correct/valid?

[15:23] i really need channel-specific highlighting [15:25] LjL: yeah... [15:26] jussi01: i assume we're both thinking about the same reason for it right now ;) [15:30] LjL: probably not as I have no idea what you are talking about. but I would really like to have it... [15:30] jussi01: i'm thinking about having "kde4" and variants on highlight, to redirect people from #ubuntu and #kubuntu to #kubuntu-kde4. however that highlight would need to *not* happen in #kubuntu-kde4 itself [15:31] although this is just the present instance of this problem, but i have others... i have most swearwords on highlight for instance, which means i get highlighted all the time in some channels [15:31] ahhh yeah [15:31] yeah, me too...

[15:48] why so down [15:49] well it's not precisely a good thing that a loco ml has a different name from the channel, with the corresponding channel being in turn assigned to another loco [15:49] ikonia: Where did you see that info? I dont see them on the loco irc list. [15:49] nah, looks like a few lose ends [15:49] Pici: google turned it up as the loco page was pretty empty [15:50] hence how I've just found the mailing lists on the lists.ubuntu.com [15:50] it was my mistake in taking ubuntu-bo as a channel rather than a mailing list addres [15:50] address even [15:50] I still dont see Bulgaria, only Bolivia [15:50] hang on [15:51] * LjL hangs up [15:51] toooooooooot [15:51] doot doot doot [15:51] the customer you have dialed is unavailable at the moment [15:51] the fingers you have dialed are too fat, please mash the keypad now to get a dialing wand [15:51] nothing in the mailing lists [15:51] let me pull up the google results [15:52] ikonia: +1 [15:53] I think you were a little mistaken ikonia, but no harm :) [15:55] I'm looking now [15:55] but it would appear I am [15:55] I don't know if I've spelt it wrong [15:55] the page was foreign [15:55] Ah === mc44_ is now known as mc44 [15:56] my bad [15:56] Oh well :) === mc44_ is now known as mc44 [16:08] * Pici gives ikonia some aspirin [16:09] What is the link for downloading.. the check box for alternate is acting up.

That's a tad drastic for this incident, isn't it? [19:22] I think not. Bad advice is bad. [19:22] True [19:22] Especially after a warning. [19:22] ardchoille, catalyse!!!! [19:23] PriceChild: I don't follow? [19:23] inform them that the channel has rules, and those rules will be enforced :) [19:23] http://freenode.net/catalysts.shtml [19:23] use !wfm, people listen to ubotu. [19:23] PriceChild: D'oh! I forgot about that. Thanks for the hint :) [19:23] Pici, seems a bit excessive to me: "when someone aske me howto and i know it. i tell em how to do it, even thou its not recommended. that must the other person deside themself." - this is a reasonable statement, except it's not true on our channels. [19:24] LjL: I assumed a reasonable amount of warning had been given.

[19:26] i can't understand if the #ubuntu usage patterns are changing *widely* compared to the statistics i had... or what [19:27] well yes they are [19:27] we have 1300 users... long time since we last did [19:27] i think [19:27] wooo someone just gave me a double decker [19:32] PriceChild: bus? [19:32] Sandwich? [19:32] chocolate bar [19:32] If I had a double decker bus... what would I do [19:33] mmm.. chocolate [19:33] I'd probably tour the world... [19:33] and play feeder reeeeeally loud from huouge speakers i put in there [20:07] really, what's happening? we're still above 1300 users, that's... wow [20:08] is hardy out and no one told me? [20:09] LjL: I think part of it is influx from KDE4 [20:09] Didn't you get the memo? [20:09] Pici: yes -kde4 has 30 users [20:09] yet [20:10] will do some stats on the floodbot logs [20:10] only a thousand and a bit away from record too [20:10] on forums [20:10] PriceChild: yet even on the forums, i can't see *that* much KDE 4 talk [20:10] (not looked much attentively, admittedly) [20:10] DIdn't say it was due to kde4 8-) [20:10] Peak for #ubuntu@freenode: 1617 (Thu Oct 18 15:16:23 2007) [20:11] PriceChild: well pici did. anyway sure, we're pretty far from the record, but >1300 is still pretty amazing for inter-release time [20:12] indeed [20:12] maybe people have realised the mba doesn't have an optical driver and are leaving for us?. [20:12] *drive [20:26] !test [20:26] Failed. [20:27] Pici: at least he had the sense to leave...

[22:35] Devourer: ah, yes. [22:35] why did you give this? Guess what I just learned? rm -rf / [22:35] Because I thought it was funny, I wasn't aware it was so taboo. [22:36] Devourer: it's not funny when people type it in [22:36] I just learned about it 5 minutes prior. But I realize it was not funny and not a very smart thing to do. [22:37] Will it really delete everything? [22:37] Devourer: your /home at least [22:37] And you don't need sudo to complete the command? [22:37] I've seen it happen to someone on IRC, not pretty [22:38] Devourer: it can still remove your /home as you have access there [22:38] Wow, that is a dangerous command. [22:38] I see. [22:38] Devourer: and people do type commands that are given on irc channels. and it isn't fun. so, i'll unban you now, but please never do something like this again [22:39] !etiquette > Devourer (Devourer, see the private message from Ubotu) [22:39] LjL: Thank you.
