[00:11] hi [00:11] im here to contest a channel ban [00:14] connor: what ban would this be? [00:16] #ubuntu-offtopic [00:16] friend went to get a drink of water [00:16] his brother got on and started spamming [00:17] gmrghost is the usernam [00:17] e [00:20] Seems to be the excuse of the week.. [00:20] connor: When was this? [00:21] connor: the ban stays [00:21] connor: and given your behavior at the same time, i salute your bravery in asking for the ban to be lifted. [00:22] ok [00:22] thanks anyways [00:22] connor: if your friend needs help setting a screensaver password, feel free to direct him/her here. [00:22] i was about to mention that you are at all times responsible for your account, but mneptok has peaked my curiosity as to what exactly happened [00:22] no im good [00:22] i already said what happened [00:22] readup [00:22] read up* [00:22] connor: If your friend wants to be unbanned, he needs to come here himself. [00:22] im not in the channel in question [00:23] elky_work: I dont think it was now anyway [00:23] <__mikem> 19:03 < connor> 17/f/ca wanna cyber? <-- well conner said this in #ubuntu-offtopic a while ago for one thing [00:23] <__mikem> if you are interested in his behavior [00:24] i see. that behaviour is most certainly unwelcome [00:24] lmao [00:24] ohh ouch [00:24] well, it is ubuntu-offtopic [00:24] !o4o [00:24] Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu-ops. Controversial topics, which always turn into flame wars: war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, questionably legal activities, suicide are not for here. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) [00:24] <__mikem> connor: yes, but offtopic does not = anything goes [00:24] connor: that doesnt make it #ubuntu-cybersex [00:25] <__mikem> lol [00:25] hey guys [00:25] i think i'm banned from off topic [00:25] i [00:25] im not sure why [00:25] funny, your friend knew why ;) [00:25] <__mikem> GMRghost: yes you are, conner says that your brother got on your account while you were away from your keyboard [00:25] mneptok: could you possibly prepare a nice pastebin? [00:25] he did? [00:25] wtf [00:25] <__mikem> GMRghost: conner is in here right now [00:25] elky_work: it's all in the Bantracker [00:25] connor is my brother [00:26] * mneptok read it there [00:26] * Pici too [00:26] <__mikem> so the plot thickens [00:26] <__mikem> Pici: are you hearing what GMRghost just said? [00:26] __mikem: no. I'm deaf and blind. [00:26] what the hell did you do connor [00:26] mneptok: i mean for these clowns [00:26] * __mikem is starting to doubt the validity of these two's case [00:27] i do to, __mikem [00:27] lmao [00:27] lets just let it go [00:27] we failed [00:27] sorry i couldnt help you get unbanned, lmao. just stop spamming like you did [00:27] fuck [00:27] gmr, i tried to help you get unbanned, but i failed [00:27] <__mikem> ouch [00:27] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [00:27] 19:26 -!- GMRghost [n=GMRghost@cpe-098-025-016-067.sc.res.rr.com] [00:27] penis [00:27] penis [00:27] penispenis [00:27] penis [00:27] * mDemocritus is enjoying the show [00:27] v [00:27] penisvpenispenis [00:27] penis [00:27] penis [00:27] 19:27 -!- connor [n=connor@ip72-204-12-86.fv.ks.cox.net] [00:27] penispenispenispenispenispenis [00:27] penis [00:27] yeah smarrttt [00:27] bye bye kids [00:27] <__mikem> wow [00:27] wait, im not spamming in here though [00:27] fun. 8yrolds [00:27] i dont even spam like gmr does [00:28] i turn 15 on the 24th [00:28] ugh. [00:28] <__mikem> would you mind banning connor from ubuntu-offtopic atleast temporarily [00:28] then please act like it [00:28] I would appreciate you GMRghost, and anyone similar trundling off now please. [00:28] doesnt affect me lmao [00:28] you can ban me from offtopic. idc [00:28] <__mikem> *sigh* [00:28] connor: One minute you care about being banned the next you dont, which is it :P [00:28] no [00:28] <__mikem> lucky for you I am not actually an op [00:28] that was my friend [00:29] you mean your brother? [00:29] I dont care about being banned from oftopic [00:29] haha, cant use the same excuse twice [00:29] off* [00:29] <__mikem> because if i was an op, this conversation would have ended a long time ago [00:29] no [00:29] i dont have a brother [00:29] <__mikem> connor: you can't even get your story straight [00:29] i have a sister, gmr is my friend [00:29] __mikem: anything we can help you with? [00:29] connor: are you here for anything in particular? [00:29] <__mikem> PriceChild: I was just reporting something connnor did in offtopic [00:29] why am i banned from #ubuntu? [00:29] <__mikem> since i found out he was here [00:30] mDemocritus: Anything we can help you with? [00:31] @btlogin [00:32] Pici: nope, just watching the storm... i'll leave now if you like [00:32] connor: spamming it seems. [00:32] mDemocritus: this isnt an amusement park. [00:32] * mneptok feigns surprise [00:32] mDemocritus: If you have no issues, please :) [00:32] elky: true... [00:33] * PriceChild resists bearded lady quips [00:33] goodbye then... keep up the good work :D [00:33] connor: "feigns" is synonymous with "fakes." and "synonymous" means "means the same thing as." [00:34] connor: there's no charge for the vocabulary lesson, other than doing em the courtesy of not having to deal with you for at least a week. feel free to type /part [00:34] that works too [00:37] why am i banned from #ubuntu [00:37] i help people in that channel [00:37] because you're conner. byebye [00:37] hotpocket: same reason as when you asked 10m ago. [00:37] ok [00:37] oh, and HI CONNOR [00:37] you never answered [00:37] ok [00:37] hi mneptok [00:37] why am i banned from there? [00:38] oh, and BYE CONNOR [00:38] hotpocket, here's a complimentary clue: we have been doing this long enough to know better. [00:38] what? [00:38] im being seroius [00:38] serious* [00:38] i didnt get to read the resopnse [00:38] response* as to why i was banned from #ubuntu [00:38] 1213227136 00:32:16 <+PriceChild> connor: spamming it seems. [00:38] hotpocket: your spammy, trollish behavior has earned you a ban. [00:38] Because you and your 'brother' can't act in a civilized manner. [00:39] i dont spam and troll in #ubuntu thats the thing [00:39] Pici: dont forget his 'friend' [00:39] hotpocket: you may expect to be banned from any #ubuntu channel i may find you in. [00:39] darn, logs are an hour behind :P [00:39] hotpocket: funny how your reputation gets around, eh? [00:40] ok [00:40] hotpocket: i'm reasonably sure some of my fellow ops will echo my sentiment about banning you on sight in any channel henceforth. [00:40] >___> [00:41] hotpocket: your pubescent nature may draw you to IRC drama like a moth to a flame, but before you give into temptation, be aware the flame usually wins. [00:43] >__> [00:52] i think i have decrypted it. > is "d" and _ is "u" and _> is "h" [00:52] what? [00:52] oh haha [00:55] mneptok: you are a decrypting genius [00:57] so i am permabanned from #ubuntu, correct? [00:59] until you can demonstrate some level of maturity, such as being completely honest about what you did. [00:59] genuine apologies also go along way, and we know the difference. [01:00] Ok, the truth is [01:00] * elky_work raises an eyebrow [01:01] Me and ghost were bored, it was the off-topoic board, I don't use it, and we decided to spam it a little bit, it was mainly him, I was just saying stuff like lmao and stuff like that, I didn't spam near as much as him though [01:01] But I did spam a LITTLE though [01:02] now apologies (note plural) for that, and the revolting cyber comment would be appreciated [01:03] I'm sorry about the spamming and I'm sorry about the cyber sex thing. [01:03] I also didn't think the cyber thing would make the situation so bad [01:05] hotpocket: as a female on irc, your cyber comment made me feel uncomfortable as it's hard enough to be taken seriously and not seen as a sex object. [01:07] * elky_work raises the other eyebrow this time [01:19] I apologize for any unsettlements I might have caused in the ir channels [01:23] mneptok, do you accept these apologies enough to let him back into #ubuntu? [01:40] elky_work: i accept them enough to rethink things in 72 hours or so [01:41] Thanks [01:50] tornado inbound [01:55] hotpocket, best to depart now. [01:56] still here? [01:56] hotpocket, read the /topic [01:56] Amaranth: you mean a user called tornado, or a big swirly thing? [01:56] latter [01:56] :/ [01:56] thats bad [01:57] Amaranth: Whereabouts are you located again? [01:57] sirens non-stop for the last 30 minutes at least [01:57] omaha, ne [01:57] Amaranth: I hope it manages to miss you [01:57] watching cnn right now [01:57] Amaranth: how close have you been to a tornado before? [01:57] It is headed this way [01:57] on the track that tends to mess up omaha bad [01:57] yikes [01:57] Seeker`: about 15 miles away [01:58] out in the country [01:58] we were chasing it :) [01:58] tornadoes make me glad I live in earthquake territory [01:58] I would imagine that the wind is still pretty high at 15 miles [01:58] bazhang: what? [01:58] Amaranth: seek shelter in the deep mountain valleys of Nebraska [01:58] it was a small tornado that time [01:58] !idle | hotpocket [01:58] hotpocket: Please keep in mind that this channel is for operator/abuse questions only, and we ask you to part when you have no further business here, in order to keep track of users with pending inquiries. [01:58] oh ok [01:58] sorry [01:58] hotpocket, no idling here; come back in 3 or 4 days time [01:58] oops [01:59] * Seeker` has slept through every earthquake he could have felt [01:59] I live in nothing territory [01:59] yikes [01:59] hundreds of boy scouts were at a camp that got hit [02:00] unconfirmed reports of 4 fatalities [02:00] yeah, saw that [02:00] * Seeker` is in the UK. We have mostly overcast weather. Which isn't known for its deadly properties. [02:00] ouch [02:00] Seeker`: it _always_ rains there [02:00] not always [02:00] A Londoner said he felt right at home in Seattle [02:00] they have larger crews clearing the road to that camp [02:00] -r [02:01] * Pici has always wondered if tornadoes are unique to the geography of the US... [02:01] we have a few weeks of hazy sunshine every year, which constitutes summer [02:01] Seeker`: i was there for 4 days, it rained 3 of them [02:01] Pici: No [02:01] Pici: There have been a couple in the UK [02:01] yup. Sounds like Seattle. [02:01] nothin like the scale of the US though [02:01] Seeker`: hm [02:01] recently in Birmingham and London iirc [02:01] it's that cold northern air hitting the warm gulf air [02:01] Amaranth: what time of year were you here [02:01] the rivers are shut down due to flooding, no barge traffic [02:02] people are freaking out [02:02] Seeker`: september [02:02] yesudeep2 in ubuntu [02:02] Amaranth: I can imagine they would be [02:02] Amaranth: Yeah, thats autumny, which means that it will rain :P [02:02] we had brilliant weather yesderday, had a BBQ [02:03] crap, the tornadoes are all rain-wrapped [02:03] Amaranth: So at what point do you leave IRC to run and hide? [02:03] Seeker`: when my modem dies [02:03] "rain wrapped"? [02:03] what kind of building are you in? [02:03] Uplink: And DONT EVER run this command rm -rf /. It deletes everything that you have permissions for. [02:04] Seeker`: it means what it says [02:04] saw that. Wonder sometimes if it's innoculation, or temptation [02:05] Seeker`: they are basically invisible unless you know what you are looking for [02:05] because it just looks like heavy rain [02:05] "Often an observer can not tell the difference between a rain-wrapped tornado and a heavy rain curtain until the tornado or rain curtain is right on top of them. Many motorists have been killed by rain-wrapped tornadoes." [02:06] Makes sense [02:07] whats so bad about it being rain-wrapped [02:08] Because you can't tell if its just a big thunderstorm, or if theres a tornado somewhere in there [02:10] ah, fair enough [02:10] * Seeker` is too tired to think properly [02:19] 4 confirmed dead at that camp [02:19] dunno who they are though [02:25] :( [02:25] the storm chaser that got hit by that tornado sounds like he is about to break down and cry [02:26] he was out there to try to spot these things to prevent such things but around that time the national weather service radar went down and their radar data was old [02:26] thus they got hit by the tornado and couldn't update people on the direction it was heading [02:28] tornado near the local air base [02:28] that's in bellvue, an omaha suburb [02:29] Amaranth are you in a house, or a hefty building? [02:29] i'm in an apartment building [02:36] I could *not* afford to not have presentable clothing ;) [02:37] nickrud: the one in spain wanted money to do the laundry... like twenty euros for a pair of undies kinda money. [02:37] bedtime [02:37] heh. Doncha just love price gouging [02:37] Amaranth: hope that tornado doesn't get too close [02:38] Now I'm afraid to carry on shaving cream [02:40] tornado shifted [02:40] headed for council bluffs on the other side of the river now [02:40] it's hailing over there [02:41] of course that's like 15 minutes of driving away so... [02:43] eep [02:44] thunder non-stop for a minute [02:44] really loud [02:44] Amaranth does your wireless reach the basement? [02:44] i don't have a basement [02:45] if it's that close, i doubt the wireless would work anyway [02:45] any reason to urge you to a safer place. The blow by blow is getting scary [02:46] i'm having fun :) [02:46] i'm actually outside [02:47] gotta 360 view I hope [02:47] nope [02:47] basically zero view, really [02:48] i have people inside watching the news that'll knock on the window if i need to go [02:48] Speaking of 360 view.... nickrud.. go to google... maps.. type in your address.. click on the picture that comes up... 360 view driving by your house.. most large metro areas are covered [02:48] and if i hear or see something bad i'll let them know [02:48] Jack_Sparrow they missed my street. But it's getting closer [02:49] Scary stuff [02:49] night [02:49] checked out the place I lived in San Antonio a while back, and its ... gone! [02:49] nickrud remind me to tell you about San Antonio some time.. [02:49] nothing would suprise me about San Antonio [02:50] only city I've seen that has more countryside than cityside [02:52] FUCK [02:52] HOLY FUCKING SHIT [02:52] lightning [02:52] o.o [02:52] man, don't do that [02:53] i took off running inside [02:53] it was CLOSE [02:53] this building or one near it [02:53] go hide in your bathroom [02:53] seriously [02:53] view was solid white and then everything shook [02:54] i don't think i've ever moved that fast before [02:56] radar seems to say it's about to pass you [02:56] yeah well [02:56] local guy just said this will continue in the area until midnight [02:57] pass omaha anyway [02:57] it's so crazy they said if you hear thunder at all take shelter because they have no idea where the tornadoes will pop up and they are popping up everywhere [02:58] at least earthquakes don't keep you waiting [03:01] they have even less warning though [03:01] yah, none. None of this tension, wondering if you're in the path [03:23] nickrud: you can build a tornado shelter. an earthquake shelter is basically the word "relocate" [03:24] * Hobbsee tickles mneptok [03:24] mneptok yes. And it'll work if you see it coming. [03:25] oy Hobbsee [03:25] how goes the struggle? [03:25] * Hobbsee curses the law of the toast. [03:26] what, if you drop it it falls butter side down? [03:26] yeah [03:26] same with the biscuit box, when it's open. [03:26] mneptok: done one exam. got 2 to go [03:26] same with anything you don't want on the floor [03:39] * ajmitch spots a Hobbsee [03:40] ajmitch! [04:30] Amaranth: you're in Iowa? [04:30] on the border between iowa and nebraska [04:31] ah - didn't realize you were that close. [04:31] My boss is from South Souix City [05:11] evening all [05:24] tonyyarusso: that's funny, i'm from sioux city [05:24] i'm in omaha now but that's where i'm from [06:02] * elky_work hands hobbsee a spare cat to tape to the toast or biscuit box. [06:03] elky_work, no, tape the cat to a piece of buttered toast, and create an antigravity machine. [06:05] Madpilot: yes, the theory of perpetual motion [06:05] that's what i was implying [06:08] Madpilot: murphy's law of antigravity is dependant on the theory of perpetual motion [06:08] at least until the cat figures out how to get the buttered toast off it's back :) [06:08] Madpilot: in which case you butter the cat and fit a cone collar on it. [06:09] heh. the theory works on the "toast always lands butter-side down" realization, though. What's the scoop with buttered cats? [06:10] They taste just like chicken, but furrier. [06:10] well, the theory works equally well with toast as a dry cracker or pancake, so why not just skip the toast/cracker/pancake and apply the butter direct to the cat? saves on food wastage [06:11] http://www.begent.org/toast.htm [06:13] haha :) [07:04] good morning [07:05] * Hobbsee munches on Myrttibrains [07:06] :-< [07:34] I wrote my planet.ubuntu.com thingie [07:34] :-| [07:34] well, last night actually already [07:39] oh? [07:43] yup [08:31] meaow [08:32] Myrtti could you take a look at wols_ 's history in #ubuntu [08:32] sure [08:35] nickrud: seems that he's been online for too long in one sit and someone needs to pull him over and give him a cup of hot chocolate and calmness [08:35] he's nearly always been like this [08:35] but more so tonight [08:35] nickrud: to me it looks that he's gotten into crazed help mode and can't help himself [08:36] crazed help mode ;) [08:36] I've had those more than once [08:36] yah. the rob2 syndrome [08:36] you can get into that mode too easily with a channel that big [08:36] trying to help everyone, you end up giving snappy answers [08:36] I need breakfast, brb. [08:37] I'm up too late, need to go to bed. Just dropped in before closing [08:37] he needs a distraction [08:38] I tick him off. Have in the past, anyway [08:38] invited to -offtopic :-) [10:16] *yawn* [12:21] Myrtti: \o/ === jenda_ is now known as jenda [12:27] whut? oh [12:27] yeah [12:28] Blog :) [13:22] @btlogin [13:25] PriceChild: should probably keep an eye on ndf [13:26] where?

[13:26] figured [13:26] -13:19:25- :ndf : lol i got muted and banned from the main ubuntu channel because of some picky bathtub who was annoyed that i shouted once because nobody listened to me. apparently that shows direct disrespect to him lol [13:27] -13:19:43- :ndf : <3 winding up americans [13:30] explain 1000+ people need help and only a few are helping to sit back and use forums paid support or wikis. ;) [13:32] "forums paid support" ? [13:32] forums, paid support or wikis [13:33] ah [13:33] - thats like [13:33] "50% off of beer wine cocktails [13:33] (at the restaurant last night" [13:33] was a scary thought [13:33] eww :P [13:34] yeah, thats what I though [13:34] t [13:35] * Mez is sooo tired [13:35] * Mez is gonna sleep on the plane [13:35] plane? [13:36] yeah, plane, those things that you fly to places in :P [13:36] where to? [13:39] Amsterdam [13:39] cool [13:39] business or pleasure? [13:40] Conference. [13:40] how is ndf doing? [13:41] PriceChild: gone quiet in the last few mins [13:41] after I suggested he stopped lolling so much [13:47] humdidum [13:50] Hnn... 15 minutes flight on the way back. [13:57] 2hrs 15 mins on the way there? [13:57] or 1hr 15 mins [13:57] my maths is bad [14:08] 2:!5 [14:08] Is that a vi command?

[14:12] Hobbsee, ssh [14:13] * Mez hides from Hobbsee [14:14] * Hobbsee spears Mez with the Long Pointy Stick of DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!™ [14:14] is it metal? [14:15] Its made of DOOM [14:15] is that gonna set off the metal detectors? [14:15] actually, it's contraband anyway, as it's pointy [14:16] I've got a pointy pink fluffy pen. [14:16] It has gone past metal detectors. [14:16] Proof that Myrtti is dangerous [14:16] yeah. I've got emacs cooties [14:17] http://boortz.com/mp3/archive/countdown.swf <-- something on my laptop for on the plane [14:18] I'm going to suffocate for laughing and eating figs at the same time [14:19] LOOLL === Mez is now known as Mez|DPC [14:37] HAHA! [14:37] !away > Mez|DPC [14:37] :-DDDDD [14:38] pwned [14:43] Why am I always hopeful that after the first kick that they'll learn their lesson and be normal the second time around? [14:44] Pici: school boy error [14:44] Pici: because that's what we're supposed to do [14:44] Pici: nothing to be ashamed of [14:48] now he's flooding coloured notices to me [14:48] *yawn* [15:14] Myrtti, doing it is not the problem, the optimism is [15:15] * elkbuntu has just got home and leaves for work again in 7 hrs [15:20] Just updated the ubotu wiki page, it had a lot of old info in it [16:57] ♥ [16:59] * Myrtti huggles everyone [17:00] Yay, free hugs [17:39] bleh [17:39] indeed [18:14] meaow [18:14] hi ompaul!

[18:21] mmmhh [18:21] #ubuntu: ban %*!*@ubuntu/bot/floodbot [by LjL!n=ljl@ubuntu/member/ljl [18:21] #ubuntu: ban %*!*@unaffiliated/ljl/bot/bestbot [by ballard.freenode.net, [18:21] when did this happen [18:21] oh, wait [18:21] nvm [18:22] * Myrtti goes to bed [18:44] Chousuke called the ops in #ubuntu (net) [18:45] floodbot unbanned but didn't ban :/ [18:45] PriceChild: floodbot1 is missing, so it's constant emergency mode [18:46] ah so none of them mute? [18:46] no, not while one is missing [18:47] which is a little annoying [18:47] but probably for a good reason [18:47] but reasonable :/ [18:55] who controls it LjL? [18:55] PriceChild, ^^ as in fb1 [18:55] I believe so but can't be sure. [18:58] oh noes it is SWAT_ [18:59] ompaul: brb, somebody hijacked my nick ;) [18:59] * ompaul runs and gets the big creamy pie returns and looks for SWAT_ [19:00] SWAT_, there is a new service (trying to remember it) it locks the nick up really well [19:00] * SWAT_ ducks, ompaul slips and the pie falls on his face [19:00] PriceChild, ^^ what am I trying to remember [19:00] ompaul: yeah yeah, I'm using it atm [19:00] ack [19:00] seems I am a bit behind the times === SWAT_ is now known as swat [19:00] :) [19:00] ompaul: enforce? [19:00] thats the one [19:01] (set enforce) [19:01] but release is good enough 8-) [19:01] ompaul: this is far more homey [19:01] SWAT, you callin me your homey? :) [19:02] ompaul: depends, do you want me to? [19:02] SWAT, I just have this picture in my mind of Martins camera and the phrase "daniel needs a hug" hehe# [19:06] ompaul: I deny everything! [19:07] SWAT, I wasn't there myself [19:08] * ompaul grins and whispers "the sekret event is about to begin" [19:09] ompaul: it's nice to be back though. I'm away for one week and just 6 hours after my depature, my router screws up [19:10] SWAT, that is called not nice [19:12] Is it possible to construct a network data storage medium (such as an NFS server) such that users can view and modify the files on it, but can not copy them to another medium? [19:12] Well if you can view something, you can copy what you see? [19:12] It could be possible by restricting the client software, and the clients that can connect to the share? [19:13] looks like you want DRM ;) [19:13] But yeah.... seems a losing battle? :/ [19:13] write not read [19:14] read not write to what [19:14] once you can read you can write to something [19:14] for one you are writing to the screen [19:14] pipes were made for redirection [19:17] nalioth: ping [19:34] Pici, a convo here? [19:34] sure [19:34] PriceChild, please op yourself and invite xcell here [19:34] PriceChild, then Pici or myself will have a chat [19:34] s/or/and \/ or/ [19:35] thanks [19:35] hi there [19:35] hi friend [19:36] Xcell, what exactly were you trying to diagnose - only asked you here cos the other place is really busy [19:36] well.. as i stated.. im running 7.10.. it has a feature to where U submit ststistics [19:37] I'm unsure what that has to do with firefox crashing [19:37] app\systools\ubuntu device manager [19:38] but what was it for diagnosing? [19:38] im a simple man.. no complications here. [19:39] it is a very direct question, what were you trying to do / diagnose [19:39] brb coffee [19:41] ok back [19:43] can you please tell us what you were trying to diagnose in #ubuntu? [19:44] ehhh [19:44] Xcell, you want to stop playing with the bot? [19:44] nothing [19:45] ompaul--are you angry @ me... please dont.. god bless you man [19:47] hmm [19:47] sigh [19:48] Seeker`: pong [19:50] ugh, what is going on this afternoon? [19:51] hey [19:51] hey [19:51] pici why the ban.. im a helper [19:52] im a good guy [19:52] Xcell: Could you please explain to us what you were troubleshooting by enabling statistics? [19:52] the lack of direct question answering and the straying back to #ubuntu when we were trying to talk with you [19:52] Because from our view, it doesnt look like you were helping. [19:52] lets say i was wrong.. and mistaken.. is this a good reason 4 A ban? [19:53] Xcell, if you were serious you might have (a) not wandered off for coffee and (B) not been messing with the bot for no good reason when a conversation was to be had here [19:54] hey.. im a helper to the best that i can.. ok [19:54] Xcell, I could say your behaviour does not speak well to that agenda and your help was lacking from what I could see [19:54] I could say [19:55] ompaul-- ive helped alot of folks.. [19:56] So then its okay to fool people into following directions that will do nothing to help their issue? [19:56] I did not see any evidence of that [19:56] I do the best that I can.. why?.. I respect Ubuntu [19:57] that being said.. stop it [19:57] you are not answering the questions put directly too you and you are not commenting on the comments being addressed to you [19:57] this is the behaviour of a troll [19:57] it measures up to it in plenty of ways [19:57] If you wish to contest that observation, just answer our questions :) [19:58] ompaul-- i am new to the forum.. be patient.. I understand i put 8.04 down.. be honest.. folks dont have time to play... they need an os that works.. be honest.. I am. I still luv U all. ok?

[22:11] ;-0 [22:11] erichammond, which channel were you banned from ? [22:11] * ompaul wonders if I have ops there [22:12] ompaul: there is a bot missing so they won't do unbans i guess, shall we -o them and change topic to the old way of doing things? [22:12] PriceChild, no it is good to get people to only come here as opposed to us looking [22:13] and not getting replies then you get my old syndrome of removing people and you see the same ones rejoin [22:13] i meant change the topic to say "follow these instructions then come to -ops and ask for a test" [22:13] ahh yes [22:13] ok y [22:13] can i have a test [22:13] erichammond, your clear to go [22:14] erichammond, you can quit here and that other channel and join #ubuntu [22:14] christel, what is one plus one?

[22:20] PriceChild, it was to preserve the middle bit which looked well let me remove the spaces in the middle [22:20] ompaul: just remove the end [22:21] i'm sure we can reconstruct it when bots return, memory/logs etc. [22:22] there is that [22:23] fixed [22:25] there were space? [22:25] spaces* [22:25] purrrr [22:25] sleep ♥ [22:25] Amaranth, we wrapped them in blanks and hoped no one noticed [22:46] don;t try and tell me there's not one bit of difference between null and space, because that's exactly how much difference there is. [22:47] mneptok, if there were enough differences it would be a byte [22:48] mneptok, Bluebeard and such like pirates had an interest in computing but their lack of education kept them back ..... pieces of eight ... they never worked out bytes and words ......
