[00:03] <ompaul>  nalioth  >> more of the same * TalikA (n=talik@84.47.245.157) has left #ubuntu (requested by ompaul)
[00:03] <ompaul> * ompaul sets ban on *!*@84.47.245.157
[00:03] <nalioth> ompaul: does your client have the '10 minute quiet' setting?
[00:03] <ompaul> not with you?
[00:03] <Jack_Sparrow> ompaul, Think you should set one on the name TalikA too ?
[00:04] <ompaul> remvoe the ban after 10 cos it is klined?
[00:04] <nalioth> ompaul: it halps with the tab completion  :|
[00:04] <nalioth> ompaul: and yes
[00:04] <ompaul> Jack_Sparrow, no it will use another name and proxy in 10 mins
[00:04] <nalioth> or less than 10
[00:04] <ompaul> nalioth, na but I will look after it
[00:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Ok, thought it had repeated that name more than once
[00:05] <ompaul> Jack_Sparrow, if so then feel free to do so
[00:06] <ompaul> Jack_Sparrow, if that is the case op up once and hit all the nicks that it has cycled though today
[00:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Ok,    But it is time for a nap....   bbl
[00:12] <Seeker`> !modes
[00:12] <ubotu> There are many different channel and user modes on !freenode. Here's a list: http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml
[00:15] <ubotu> Seeker` called the ops in #ubuntu (llama123456789)
[00:22] <buks> ompaul: even though this is not a support channel, its nice to know someone is actually watching over me :), thanx
[00:23] <ompaul> hehe
[00:25] <buks> wait, dont tell me... /part
[00:26] <Seeker`> Mez: Connection problems?
[00:27] <Seeker`> ompaul: Is tonight particularly bad for weird people, or do I usually not pay enough attention to notice them?
[00:28] <ompaul> Seeker`, the latter methinks - it is friday which is a good day for it
[00:28] <Seeker`> depends on how you define good :P
[00:29] <ompaul> Seeker`, I now have that nice person in pm
[00:30] <Seeker`> which nice person?
[00:33] <Mez> sorry about Floodbot2's downtime. it was planned
[00:33]  * Mez yawns
[00:34] <ompaul> Seeker`, the one which was warned off then removed
[00:36] <Seeker`> ompaul: ah, fun
[00:37] <Seeker`> the guy that was asking about fedora?
[00:37] <ompaul> Seeker`, na the other party - the one who was not discouraging them
[00:38] <ompaul> Seeker`, then played both sides of a coin at the same time - baiting me which worked and tried to be good in channel at the same time
[00:38] <Seeker`> NinjaPlimsoles?
[00:39] <ompaul> Seeker`, yeap and I wonder was he one part of a double act
[00:39] <ompaul> see last q for someone who is on their first day on ubuntu that is a rich question
[00:39] <Seeker`> ompaul: what makes you think that?
[00:41] <Seeker`> there was only 4 mins between them joining
[00:42] <Seeker`> ompaul: If you mean eatatjones
[00:42] <ompaul> yeap
[00:42] <Seeker`> hmm, ninja just appeared in -uk
[00:44] <Mez> Seeker`, popey can ddeal with it
[00:44] <Seeker`> Mez: I can deal with it too :)
[00:44] <ompaul> Seeker`, watch it
[00:45] <Mez> Seeker`, but you're going to bed
[00:45] <Seeker`> am I?
[00:45] <Mez> i thought i saw you saying you were somewhere
[00:45] <Mez> lol
[00:46] <Seeker`> Mez: I said i'm beginning to get tired - I'm going to be really geeky and wait up and watch star trek
[00:46] <Mez> ah fair enough
[00:46] <Mez> i should go bed now
[00:46] <Mez> got a long day on sunday
[00:46] <Seeker`> nn
[00:46] <Mez> i didnt say i was going to
[00:46] <Mez> lol
[00:47] <Seeker`> Mez: :P
[00:47] <Seeker`> Mez: good long day or bad long day?
[00:47] <Mez> Seeker`, day in bed with new gf
[00:47] <Mez> so very good
[00:47] <PriceChild> popey is back :/
[00:47] <Mez> yes, he is
[00:47] <Seeker`> Mez: oooh :P
[00:48] <PriceChild> I was getting excited when he quit, thought we were done with him.
[00:48]  * Mez pets popey and hopes his server is ok
[00:48] <Mez> PriceChild, nah, his server was being moved to a new Power supply
[00:48] <Mez> same as me... i just came back quicker
 is this channel considered to be offtopic? <-- sighs
[00:52] <ompaul> Mez, do o4o that will help him go over the line and get banned ;-)
[00:52] <Seeker`> I reckon we have to be a bit careful with him
[00:53] <Mez> ompaul, he's in a loco channel
[00:53] <ompaul> it works there too
[00:53] <ompaul> and names that channel
[00:53] <ompaul> :->
[00:53] <ompaul> }:-> even
[00:54]  * Mez pokes an o4o his way
[01:04] <ompaul> I am off out of there I figure you will get more obvious trolling now
[01:04] <ompaul> night
[01:20] <LjL> "lol"
[01:20] <Seeker`> lo LjL 
[01:20] <LjL> [01:18:07] <buks> hi, the powers that be over at #kubuntu-ops pointed me here (I feel I'm being watched), so let me ask: I am having a problem installing kubuntu-kde4 alpha 6 via the LAN. the option to install the desktop is missing
[01:21] <Pici> o.O
[01:22] <Seeker`> LjL: Is the floodbot source still "classified"
[01:24] <LjL> yeah
[01:24] <Seeker`> k
[02:19] <PriceChild> nickrud: I don't think there's need for a ban.
[02:19] <PriceChild> He won't be back, and it just clogs the list.
[02:19] <nickrud> PriceChild: I clear all but the egregious ones after 24 hrs
[02:19] <PriceChild> k k
[02:30] <PriceChild> My uni just elected a pirate as president.
[02:30] <Pici> arr?
[02:31] <PriceChild> was announced an hour ago... there's already people shouting on the radio, a couple of facebook groups/petitions and just general angry people
[02:32] <Pici> Surely if s/he was elected, a majority voted for them
[02:32] <PriceChild> 9,000 in the uni, 3,000 voted, he got 52%
[02:32] <PriceChild> (3 candidates)
[02:33]  * PriceChild finds his manifesto
[02:33] <nickrud> sounds like more of a majority than a debian election anyway
[02:34] <PriceChild> can't find it
[02:34] <PriceChild> but they included... "cutlasses for all"
[02:35] <PriceChild> "destroy half of the central bridge across the lake, then force the lecturers to 'walk the plank'"
[02:36] <nickrud> sounds like the voters are fun-loving nihilists :)
[02:37] <PriceChild> http://pastebin.ca/933081
[02:51] <nickrud> I'd probably have voted for him in my university days, the the usual candidates were so humorless and earnest
[03:08] <Seeker`> is tor only banned in #ubuntu?
[03:08] <PriceChild> Seeker`: it isn't banned in #ubuntu
[03:08] <PriceChild> !tor-gpg | Seeker` 
[03:08] <ubotu> Seeker`: You can use tor and still access #ubuntu and other channels that have tor blocked.  How? Read http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml#tor to find out how to bypass all the tor hassles on freenode.
[03:10] <Seeker`> ah, I thought it was
[03:11] <PriceChild> its blocked, unless you set up tor-tpt
[03:57] <ubotu> In #xubuntu, PlayBoy said: ubotu: My card is free driver since feisty version...
[03:58] <Pici> ubotu: tell playboy about bot
[04:00] <jdong> kinky.
[04:01] <PriceChild> jdong: down boy
[04:01] <jdong> PriceChild: you know what fevers do ;-)
[04:40] <PriceChild> nickrud: bossmanbeta is an -uncensored guy... not having this,
[04:40] <nickrud> ok. glad you took over, personally
[04:51] <PriceChild> not sure what channel he was invited from, cba to figure it out tonight
[04:56] <PriceChild> seems a sane guy
[04:56] <PriceChild> just pulled into it
[04:57] <nickrud> it's not an insane position, just a futile one.
[04:57] <PriceChild> nickrud: if you see others like that, just mute and discuss it in PM/send in here. They are pulling people into that channel, and being alarmist.
[04:57] <PriceChild> If it would have been me, I would probably have done the same as him.
[04:58] <PriceChild> A nice polite conversation in PM, remove the mute and everyone's happy.
[04:58] <nickrud> hm. I'm banned from it. Wanted to talk to emma before the last blowup happened. 
[06:04] <tonyyarusso> Hobbsee:  I understand you did some web host research recently.  I'm feeling open to be talked to on the subject after tonight.
[06:49] <Hobbsee> tonyyarusso: mmm?  OK
[06:53] <ubotu> In #ubuntu, foo said: !ops Thanatos is spamming on join
[06:56] <foo> Thanatos appears to be a troll, or a bot. /me tries to tell
[06:56]  * Hobbsee doesn't seem to get the on-join spam...
[06:57] <foo> Hobbsee: A part of me is thinking that he's a troll who grabbed my name on autojoin. I don't think he's a bot, his messages seem to be at irregular intervals. 
[06:57] <Hobbsee> it's showing as xchat.  starnge
[06:57] <Hobbsee> perhaps os
[06:58] <foo> Hm, then yeah, I'm going to vouch for a troll. Anyways, I'll just /ignore him, unless you think it necessarily to take action (which I don't think you would in this case)
[07:04] <nickrud> I saw him in a pm, told him it wasn't polite to pm without permission. I haven't heard from him since. He's now andre
[07:04]  * foo seconds that
[07:05] <foo> 23:04 <foo> It's not polite to PM, please stop
[07:05] <foo> 23:05 <andre> you fool
[07:05] <foo> hmm.
[07:05] <nickrud> ditto, exactly
[07:05] <foo> 23:05 <andre> you big fat

 sia anjinga(YOU DOG)
[07:08] <foo> hmm
[07:08] <nickrud> I think I'll kick, see what he does
[07:08] <foo> nickrud: Thank you :)
[07:08]  * Hobbsee tries pm'ing
[07:08] <nickrud> so I wait
[07:08]  * foo loves the organization with ops for this channel
[07:09] <nickrud> pecking order foo
[07:09] <foo> I've been an op for #mandrake back in the day, and #mandriva, and I am with a few other smaller channels ... and I believe this is the way it should be done
[07:09] <foo> Jono doesn't hang around in here does he?
[07:09] <Myrtti> no
[07:09] <Hobbsee> he does occasionally
[07:09] <Hobbsee> but not this channel
[07:09] <foo> ah, nice. ohh, I see
[07:10]  * foo has seen him at SCALE the past few years 
[07:10] <nickrud> meant to make scale, but had to work on short notice
[07:10] <foo> ah, nickrud, you in the area around SCALE?
[07:10] <foo> bummer
[07:10] <nickrud> I work right by LAX
[07:11] <nickrud> planned on leaving my car in the lot there (have a card) and walk to scale from there
[07:11] <nickrud> was looking forward to his keynote
[07:12] <foo> Ah, sweet. May I PM you?
[07:12] <nickrud> sure
[07:12] <foo> Thanks 
[07:16] <foo> Hm, don't think I should idle here. Catch you folks later :) Thanks again -
[07:17] <Hobbsee> ubotu: ping
[07:17] <ubotu> ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore
[07:18] <Hobbsee> good.
[07:18] <foo> haha
[07:18]  * foo straps on parachute and bails
[07:19] <Myrtti> he's nice
[07:23] <nickrud> Hobbsee: so, was andre reasonable?
[07:23] <Hobbsee> he was asking me what my name was, etc.
[07:25] <nickrud> hai what is yoor name  ?
[07:26]  * Hobbsee has no name.
[07:26] <nickrud> saves ink I guess
[07:27] <nickrud> ok, silence until I said peanut butter, then I get back <andre> SIA ANJING KU AING

[07:27] <Hobbsee> ooookay then...
[08:59] <sleepster> haha wth is this place?
[09:00] <sleepster> anyways.. I am bored
[09:00] <sleepster> so I guess I should talk to an op
[09:01] <sleepster> it's sort of ignorant of you guys to ban someone for saying RTFM.. especially since I help a lot of people in that channel
[09:02] <ompaul> the way we help people is we rtfm and then we get the info and give it to them
[09:02] <ompaul> that is all
[09:03] <ompaul> give the specifics to the person
[09:03] <ompaul> you google they don't
[09:03] <ompaul> thats all
[09:03] <sleepster> that's naive
[09:03] <ompaul> no that is the way the ubuntu help system has worked for the last couple of years
[09:03] <sleepster> you guys breast feed them..
[09:03] <sleepster> then they keep coming back for more questions
[09:03] <ompaul> the good ones end up helping
[09:03] <sleepster> people should learn to find answers... "learn" to find answers
[09:03] <ompaul> that is not the way in this space
[09:04] <ompaul> those who want to learn will 
[09:04] <nickrud> sleepster: I've been helping here for years, as as ompaul. We do know what works
[09:04] <sleepster> whatever you say chief 
[09:04] <ompaul> sleepster, I have been helping on irc in *nx channels since the early nineties 
[09:05] <ompaul> even in places called #nohelp :)
[09:06] <ompaul> sleepster, I'll let you back in, but if you are not going to give complete help then please observe
[09:06] <ompaul> most of the everyday stuff is on the wiki
[09:06] <sleepster> its ok.. u don't have you
[09:06] <ompaul> do /msg ubotu search foo and you will find a reasonable
[09:06] <ompaul> answer
[09:06] <nickrud> we try not to chase away people by talking over their heads. or implying that because they are clueless they are useless
[09:07] <ompaul> sleepster, I have seen a guy go from no use to developer in there on more than one occasion 
[09:08] <ompaul> sleepster, we know what we are at - growing the GNU/Linux community one step at a time - it is not a private club where TLAs do the business - we try to lower the barriers  to access as much as possible
[09:08] <ompaul> the motivation is simple - get people on the platform then they are empowered

[10:33] <Mez> can *
[10:33] <Laughed> I have been wrongfully banned and I would like it lifted
[10:33] <Hobbsee> strange.  i wonder if the guy has had a bit too much red cordial or something
[10:33] <Mez> Laughed, who banned you
[10:34] <Laughed> DOn know, one of your ops who wanted to flex his muscles. apparently he didnt like that I was an ATI user
[10:34] <theunixgeek> lol one of the free software crusaders
[10:34] <Laughed> I dont know what that means, ugeek
[10:35] <Hobbsee> a *lot* too much red cordial, it looks like
[10:35]  * Hobbsee looks up Laughed's ban
[10:35] <Hobbsee> Laughed: under what nickname / IP was the ban?
[10:35] <theunixgeek> Laughed: ATI won't open up its drivers. Some people hate that.
[10:35] <Laughed> this one
[10:35] <Laughed> I just needed help. it turned out it wasnt an ATI issue
[10:35] <stdin> theunixgeek: if there's nothing else we can do for you, we like to keep the channel free of idlers
[10:35] <Laughed> it was actually somethign else
[10:36] <Laughed> I needed to remove splash from the boot line
[10:36] <theunixgeek> stdin: okeydoke
[10:36] <Laughed> Something Sparrow, jack
[10:36]  * Hobbsee sighs, looks up full logs
[10:36] <Hobbsee> yeah, i found the quiet.  which is a) not a ban.
[10:37] <Hobbsee> and b) appears to already be removed.
[10:37] <Laughed> who me???
[10:37] <Hobbsee> yes, you.
[10:37] <Laughed> I just tried to log in and it said i was banned
[10:37] <Hobbsee> ah, hang on
[10:37] <Hobbsee> it's swapped from a ban to a quiet
[10:37] <Hobbsee> er, other way aorund
[10:38] <Laughed> is your nick a play on calvin and hobbs
[10:39] <Mez> no, its a play on her surnam
[10:39] <Mez> e
[10:39] <Laughed> k, brb
[10:40] <Hobbsee> no, it's not.
[10:43]  * Hobbsee sigh
[10:43] <Hobbsee> Laughed: i'd suspect that most people's ATI cards work, by the way.  No need to say that they all don't, when you've only tried yours
[10:43] <Hobbsee> Laughed: also, senses of entitlement "you must help me, because i dared to install your operating system of choice" also don't go down well
[10:44] <Laughed> hmm, thats all good and well. but I never said that, implied or otherwise
[10:45] <Hobbsee> [22:02] <Laughed> I came here for help
[10:45] <Hobbsee> [22:02] <Laughed> I came here for help
[10:45] <Hobbsee> gah
[10:45] <Hobbsee> [22:02] <l815> Laughed, if everyone was as demanding as you, no one would be helped
[10:45] <Hobbsee> [22:02] <Odd-rationale> gralco: Hold on...
[10:46] <Hobbsee> [22:02] <Flare183> kenro: you got that right
[10:46] <Hobbsee> [22:02] <Laughed> 1815 ive been here for an hour
[10:46] <Hobbsee> [22:02] <Laughed> I didnt realize there was a number i was supposed to take
[10:46] <Hobbsee> [22:02] <l815> Laughed, and there are 1246 people here
[10:46] <Hobbsee> [22:02] <Laughed> or a line i was supposed to get
[10:46] <Laughed> your missing entries
[10:46] <Hobbsee> [22:03] <Laughed> okay where is the line

[10:46] <Laughed> and I came here for help
[10:46] <Hobbsee> yeah.  want the full log?
[10:46] <Hobbsee> http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/03/05/%23ubuntu.txt
[10:46] <Laughed> Sure
[10:46] <Hobbsee> so did most of the other poeple there.
[10:46] <Hobbsee> you got at least some help.
[10:47] <Laughed> so why am / was I being given a hard time for it
[10:47]  * Hobbsee didn't want to spam out the channel with too many lines
[10:47] <Laughed> it seemed I was being givne a hard time because I am an ATI user
[10:47] <Hobbsee> because demanding people help you won't get you overly far.
[10:47] <Hobbsee> no, not really.  how many people in that channel do you think know about advanced ati issues anyway?
[10:47] <Hobbsee> most cards just work
[10:48] <Laughed> how many people would have been able to figure out it was just a matter of deleting plash"from the boot line
[10:48] <Laughed> splash
[10:48] <Hobbsee> probably not a lot - especially as that only works for some people.
[10:48] <Hobbsee> and why mangle with the options, if it happens to work for them
[10:49] <Laughed> I dont get the last point
[10:49] <Hobbsee> you ceratinly got help, from those forum threads you were given.  apparently they worked.
[10:49] <Laughed> No

[10:49] <Laughed> I actually found the answer in a thread that was  a year old. It was a thread / post I created
[10:49] <Laughed> when I first tried using ubuntu a year ago
[10:50] <Laughed> So I am not sure what articles you think helped me
[10:50] <Laughed> and no one in this chat room gave me a thread to the forums
[10:50] <Hobbsee> well, you clearly got your answer somewhere
[10:50] <Laughed> yes i did
[10:51] <Laughed> and I have more questions
[10:51] <Laughed> is this not where I should be to get those questions answered???

[11:35] <Amaranth> Where the hell did the other ops go?
[11:38] <Gary> mario galaxy?  Seveas hehe, thats like for ten year olds
[11:39] <Amaranth> Seveas: I feel sorry for those irssi users
[11:39] <jpatrick> Amaranth: why?
[11:39] <Amaranth> ban management
[11:40] <Gary> thats the problem I have
[11:40] <Gary> irssi wins on so much, yet fails at a few things
[11:41] <Amaranth> xchat-gnome is the same :P
[11:41] <Amaranth> i now have Amaranth_ in #ubuntu with xchat
[11:41] <Gary> i'm on the work laptop (windows) irssi in putty/screen
[11:42] <Gary> work lappy is ultraportable :-)
[11:42] <Gary> Seveas: can you write a chanserv.py for irssi please :-)
[11:43] <Hobbsee> there's already ban.pl
[11:44] <Gary> I have auto_bleh.pl, but no idea except /ab and /at on how to use it
[11:45] <jpatrick> Gary: what version of auto_bleh.pl?
[11:45] <Gary> tomaws one
[11:46] <jpatrick> Gary: I use no0tic's and it's pretty useful: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58861/
[11:48] <XiXaQ> could someone please unban me? I was kicked and banned yesterday because of a tab completion error.
[11:49] <Gary> jpatrick: they still don't seem to have a unban optio :'(
[11:49] <ubotu> Aranel called the ops in #ubuntu ()
[11:49] <Seveas> XiXaQ, ctcp's should not be sent to channels 
[11:49] <Seveas> any channels
[11:49] <Seveas> so if you think it's a tab completion error, think again
[11:49] <XiXaQ> much better to use a target list you mean? 
[11:50] <Seveas> no, just don't send ctcp's 
[11:50] <Seveas> it's mostly useless
[11:50] <XiXaQ> really? 
[11:50] <Seveas> yes.
[11:51] <Seveas> except for CTCP action ofcourse
[11:51] <Amaranth> CTCPs just annoy people
[11:51] <XiXaQ> hehe, ok. I don't mind. 
[11:51] <Hobbsee> XiXaQ: are you using irssi?
[11:51] <Hobbsee> no
[11:51] <Hobbsee> strange
[11:51] <XiXaQ> Hobbsee, you know that.
[11:52] <Hobbsee> yeah, ctcp lagged.
[11:52] <XiXaQ> why are you wasting my time asking which client I'm using? You know my client will respond to that question for me.
[11:57] <XiXaQ> but that's ok. Cursing and making fun of people leads to a warning. A ctcp leads to a kickban. Weird policy. 
[11:58] <Hobbsee> ....because my client lagged.
[11:58] <Hobbsee> fail @ reading comprehension, apparently.
[12:03] <XiXaQ> perhaps someone should consider documenting the rules for the channels... 
[12:03] <jpatrick> !guidelines > XiXaQ 
[12:03] <XiXaQ> I've read that.
[12:03] <XiXaQ> it doesn't say anything about ctcps being a permban offence.
[12:05] <Amaranth> oh jeez, not this again
[12:05] <Amaranth> XiXaQ: There are no hard rules
[12:05] <Amaranth> XiXaQ: It is just a general "use common sense and don't be a jerk"
[12:05] <jpatrick> Seveas: -b nzk*!*@* ?
[12:05] <Amaranth> CTCP to the entire channel is being a jerk
[12:06] <XiXaQ> wow.. 
[12:06] <Seveas> jpatrick, /cs autorem #ubuntu list :)
[12:06] <jpatrick> Seveas: right
[12:06] <Amaranth> XiXaQ: An exact statement of what to do and what not to do would be a book
[12:06] <XiXaQ> if channel ctcps are such a bad thing, I wonder why no ircds implements any way of blocking them like they do for colors and such. 
[12:07] <Amaranth> They do, actually
[12:07] <Amaranth> freenode has a mode to let users block CTCPs
[12:07] <XiXaQ> that's not a channel mode is it? 
[12:07] <XiXaQ> channel mode c is fairly common. Which mode is used to block ctcps?
[12:08] <jpatrick> XiXaQ: for users, it's +C
[12:08] <jpatrick> there is no channel mode for it tho
[12:09] <XiXaQ> why is that?
[12:09] <Amaranth> Because we don't expect people to be stupid
[12:09] <Seveas> XiXaQ, because the /me command also is a ctcp
[12:09] <Amaranth> That too :P
[12:09] <XiXaQ> ah.. Good point.
[12:10] <Amaranth> Although it would be possible to block everything except that
[12:10] <Seveas> of course
[12:10] <Seveas> your point is more reasonable
[12:10] <XiXaQ> wow, I'm a jerk and I'm stupid... This just keeps getting better and better.
[12:10] <Seveas> we expect people not to annoy others
[12:10] <Seveas> XiXaQ, someone a jerk if he/she thinks it's ok to annoy everybody in a channel with a useless ctcp
[12:11] <Seveas> and given your answers so far, you seem to think that's ok
[12:11] <XiXaQ> I do think it's ok to send a ctcp to a small channel, yes. I see no problems with that as long as it's for a reason. 
[12:12] <Seveas> there's no good reason
[12:12] <XiXaQ> how do you know?
[12:12] <Seveas> name one
[12:12] <Amaranth> XiXaQ: What reason do you have for knowing my latency, what time it is, or what IRC client I'm using?
[12:12] <Seveas> give me one good reason why it's ok and I'll unban you
[12:13] <Seveas> Amaranth, client could be useful for support
[12:13] <Seveas> but you don't need to know everybodys client
[12:13] <XiXaQ> I didn't send a version. I sent a time. 
[12:13] <Seveas> well that's even more fricken useless
[12:14] <Seveas> seriously, name one good reason and I'll unban you. If you can't think of one: please leave this channel, we have a no-idlers policy
[12:14] <Amaranth> Why do you need to know what time my computer thinks it is?
[12:14] <XiXaQ> no, it's not. I knew the channel was small and that most people would have ntp enabled. A CTCP TIME would reflect the correct time. Of course, I could have sent a message asking someone with ntp enabled to tell me what time it is, but that would not be an accurate reply. 
[12:15] <Seveas> useless
[12:15] <XiXaQ> how is that?
[12:15] <Seveas> you forgot lag
[12:15] <Seveas> and you forgot that you can simply use ntp
[12:16] <XiXaQ> no, I didn't. That's why I used a channel ctcp instead of sending it to someone I know uses it. The most common time will be the correct one. 
[12:16] <Seveas> last chance, come up with a food reason
[12:16] <Seveas> good even
[12:16] <XiXaQ> can an unprivileged user install ntp? 
[12:16] <Amaranth> @now
 Error: Please don't use @schedule during a meeting
[12:16] <Amaranth> wth
[12:17] <Seveas> err
[12:17] <Amaranth> I can't use @now anywhere because the kubuntu guys are in a meeting
[12:17] <Laughed> lol, that was kinda funny
[12:17] <Seveas> that's bad
[12:17] <Seveas> ubotu2 has that fixed :)
[12:17] <jpatrick> Amaranth: we finished
[12:18] <Seveas> jpatrick, ubotu doesn't know that yet :)
[12:18] <jussi01> Hobbsee: you around?
[12:22] <jpatrick> jussi01: /whois says not
[12:25] <jussi01> jpatrick: yeah, i know. she was 25 mins ago, but all is good. :)
[12:25] <jpatrick> jussi01: is it related to "Gave your name" ?
[12:28] <XiXaQ> there is an interesting document located at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct which I feel is fairly relevant.. 
[12:30] <jpatrick> XiXaQ: yes, we've all read it before several times and signed it
[12:31] <XiXaQ> saying that people are stupid and jerks because they disagree with unwritten rules is certainly in direct contrast with the second paragraph. Kicking and banning people without any warning, does that help people to feel secure and and comfortable? 
[12:31] <jussi01> jpatrick: yes and no. I would have mentioned that, but I wanted to speak to her about something else also. :)
[12:44] <jussi01> XiXaQ: I havent participated in this conversation, as I have only been here for part of it. But from reading back a little, I see you ctcp'd a whole channel, just to get an "accurate" time. As you have been told, there is absolutely no need for thas, as accurate times are available in many other places. To me, it is clear you are now trolling, please now remove yourself from the channel.
[13:10] <ompaul> XiXaQ, there is no good reason to use ctcp to a channel other than if you are all the people in it alone - anything else is somewhere between rude and invasive of other peoples privacy - please leave this channel now
[13:10] <XiXaQ> I am not trolling, and I think you're misunderstanding. What happened yesterday is fine. I accept and respect the rules of the channel. After all, it's a very big channel and all big channels must have rules. What I'm saying, is that I think a user should get a warning the first time he or she violates an unwritten rule. 
[13:11] <ompaul> XiXaQ, and a user should bring their common sense with them to irc
[13:11] <XiXaQ> yes, of course. 
[13:11] <ompaul> XiXaQ,  now I ask again - please leave this channel now
[13:12] <XiXaQ> I still feel that sending a ctcp time is a good way of knowing what time other users have, but I respect that you don't like it. 
[13:12] <XiXaQ> ok, I'll send an email instead.
[13:19] <Jack_Sparrow> ompaul, a guy I banned on the 5th that you banned again for evading soon after "Laughed" is back and my ban has been removed (by someone) did you speak with his earlier.  You suggested that I not lift it and that we let it expire naturally?
[13:19] <ompaul> no I did not
[13:20] <ompaul> Jack_Sparrow, there was a call for bans to be removed earlier the ban list was full

[17:08] <ompaul> *!*@cpc3-warr3-0-0-cust866.bagu.cable.ntl.com!#ubuntu-ops
[17:08] <Arfee> what?!
[17:08] <ompaul> you are not in #ubuntu
[17:08] <Arfee> what ya mean?
[17:08] <ompaul> I redirected you to #ubuntu-ops
[17:08] <Arfee> why?
[17:09] <ompaul> well that would be the last nick before yours

[17:09] <ubotu> Arfee: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[17:09] <Arfee> look at my nick now
[17:09] <ompaul> read that 
[17:09] <Arfee> I appreciate that and I never do anything to cause problems
[17:10] <Arfee> besides I never said anything wrong, I understand the name was wrong hence the change
[17:10] <ompaul> ehh you were banned before you changed it
[17:10] <ompaul> so I don't concur
[17:10] <Arfee> Well if someone would have let me know
[17:10] <Arfee> I wouldn't have had any problems
[17:11] <ompaul> I did by removing you and advised you to read the guidelines - have a look at that please
[17:11] <Arfee> I have
[17:12] <Arfee> Doesn't anyone have a remote sense of humour at all, I have been an Ubuntu member for many years and included helping beta testing a lot and this is what I get, banned for a name without warning?
[17:12] <ompaul> a ubuntu member for years
[17:12] <ompaul> what is your LP id?
[17:12] <Arfee> yes someone who used it for years
[17:12] <ompaul> that is not a ubuntu member
[17:12] <ompaul> that is a userr
[17:13] <Arfee> fine user then
[17:13] <Arfee> but for years
[17:13] <ompaul> big difference - a member would have signed the code of conduct and never would have done that
[17:13] <ompaul> they work hard to make a strong community 
[17:13] <Arfee> I am part of that community
[17:14] <ompaul> you on the other hand thought that you could (a) troll the irc aspect of that community and then tried to ban avoide
[17:14] <ompaul> you have not read the guidlines
[17:14] <ompaul> I suggest you do so we can have a more informed conversation
[17:14] <Arfee> We can but lighten up a bit, my name is changed now...ok?
[17:17] <Myrtti> ompaul: back to the factoid
[17:18] <Myrtti> what if it were "that particular command... blahblah"
[17:18] <Myrtti> FCOL
[17:20] <ompaul> hmm
[17:21] <Myrtti> because honestly the only time it should be used is *after* someone has made a brainfart
[17:22] <Myrtti> warning people in beforehand raises that "which commands exactly" issue
[17:23] <Myrtti> and of course there should be a warning for everyone else NOT to enter that command
[17:24] <ompaul>  is there a way to put someones nick into the answer
[17:24] <ompaul> so yiou can go WARNING $NICK GAVE BAD INFO - DO NOT RUN THE SUGGESTED COMMAND IT WILL BREAK YOUR MACHINE

[17:26] <Myrtti> but I mean like
[17:26] <Myrtti> yeah

[17:27] <ompaul> that particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU:  -- DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER! DO NOT USE THAT COMMAND
[17:28] <nalioth> it's a good idea
[17:28] <ompaul> nalioth, so should we do it
[17:28] <ompaul> btw I have to go out for a bit
[17:28] <ompaul> back shortly
[17:28] <nalioth> we could run with it for a while
[17:29] <nalioth> but again, i see somebody abusing it in a fit of pique (or just plain trollery [moshe])
[17:29] <ompaul> hmm
[17:29] <ompaul> wait
[17:29] <ompaul> idea
[17:29] <nickrud> guns don't kill people, people kill people. Come down hard on the person

[17:30] <nalioth> PriceChild: i'm ashamed of you
[17:30] <Jack_Sparrow> PriceChild, It is cute..
[17:31] <ompaul> I am away
[17:31] <Myrtti> should be surprise __mikem ;-)
[17:31] <Myrtti> s/be/we/
[17:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Robbie the robot.. our hero.. he invented the internet
[17:32] <Myrtti> I think I'll surprise him
[17:33] <PriceChild> ohhhhhhhhh sorry misread it, with the 'danger will' it make sense :)
[17:37] <PriceChild> what i said doesn't make sense either
[17:38] <nickrud> eh, with some allowances for country of orgin, it did
[17:39] <Myrtti> I feel like too american now
[17:39] <Myrtti> I've never seen even five minutes of that tv show
[17:39] <Myrtti> damn
[18:00] <TheSheep> @btlogin
[18:41] <Myrtti> hmm
[18:41] <Myrtti> should I clear up those bans I've got in effect in -ot?
[18:44] <nalioth> Myrtti: are they still needed?
[18:44] <Myrtti> let me see the calendar
[18:46] <Myrtti> I wonder why the bans don't show up in the bantracker as removed
[18:51] <TheSheep> excuse me, but how do I login to the bantracker?
[18:55] <jussi01> TheSheep: like you tried earlier, @btlogin - ubotu should then pm with a url (afaik)
[18:56] <TheSheep> ok, so how do I gain access to bantracker?
[18:56] <TheSheep> it pm'd with 'access denied'
[18:57] <jussi01> TheSheep: I think you need to speak to someone in the irc council for that. Im not sure.
[18:57] <TheSheep> I'm an op on #xubuntu only, not sure if I should have the access, if not then ok
[19:03] <Myrtti> oh, the bantracker has lag. ok
[19:04] <ompaul> na naaa na na na na naaaaaa na na na na naaa naaa
[19:04] <ompaul> ohh did I mention I got back
[19:05] <ompaul> Myrtti, you dandered __mikem :)
[19:05] <ompaul> wooppas
[19:05] <ompaul> Myrtti, you dangered __mikem :)
[19:05] <Myrtti> so I did
[19:05] <ompaul> and it was good

[21:09] <nickrud> ompaul: but for the rest of them, I was thinking. But I am  a nitpicker by nature
[21:09] <ompaul> and I really don't want it uttered a second time
[21:10] <ompaul> nickrud, the item is dangerous and needs care in handling no matter even if it is the intended use
[21:11] <nickrud> ompaul: true. Like I said, I'm a nitpicker, and can get too involved in the tree section
[21:11] <PriceChild> heads up on mailing list incase people haven't seen it yet
[21:17] <ompaul> PriceChild, how nice
[21:17] <ompaul> well answered btw
[21:25] <ompaul> PriceChild, in particular I like the fact he missed:  there is no good reason to use ctcp to a channel other than if you are all the people in it alone - anything else is somewhere between rude and invasive of other peoples privacy  << is not asking me what my client is can be a prelude to some kind of attacks
[21:25] <ompaul> anyway

[21:45] <nalioth> somebody needs to shut it down
[21:45] <nalioth> i don't think a /kill will help
[21:46] <PriceChild> I think LjL does, but he's off skiing again?
[21:47] <LjL> eh no i wish i was
[21:47] <LjL> what's with ubotu
