PiciAnyone having issues setting banforwards with irssi, or is it just my client thats messed up?01:58
* Hobbsee eyes \sh's blog post02:11
Picihrm02:15
Hobbseeat a glance, it apperas to be "you're not letting me be an asshole on planet, so i'll be an asshole elsewhere.  i don't want to reform at all"02:15
Hobbseewhich is fine.  he can go be an asshole elsewhere (and hopefully keep me out of his posts!), and planet will go back to being a nicer place.02:17
Hobbseewith a bit of luck, he'll stop begging for money there too...02:17
FlannelHobbsee: I have to agree02:50
Hobbseewhat i don't understand is why he hasn't realised he's quite free to be an asshole elsewhere, prior to this point.02:51
FlannelHobbsee: Because he feels like playing the victim02:57
elkyHobbsee, he's taken his blog off planet again?03:24
Hobbseeelky: not quite.03:24
Flannelelky: Almost.  He's taken all the 'not strictly ubuntu posts' off planet.  Which probably means we'll still get the begging for money posts.03:26
elkyamusingly, that's all we ever wanted him to do03:27
elkyit's amusing how he's using jeff as an example. they're peas in a pod as far as this stuff goes. neither gets why its bad.03:29
Hobbseeheh03:50
FlannelOh, come on.  Wiki spam protection?05:31
* Myrtti hums11:04
Myrttiwhere's ompaul when I need him11:12

Myrttioh nothing, I'm just anxious and fretty11:15
elkyhehe11:16
Myrttiand I know my normal target to harass with sms is sleeping11:16

_d4vidOfficial Uzbek Ubuntu Support Channel #ubuntu-uz *for download of ubuntu latest stable release use http://ubuntu.uz13:18
_d4vidtopic13:18
Gary_d4vid: did you know that ubuntu have a group contact registered with freenode for the #ubuntu-* namespace?13:19
_d4vidnope :(13:19
Gary_d4vid: might want to have a read of this until others see you are here - http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#channelnaming13:24
_d4vidthx13:28
ikonia_d4vid: why is the ubuntu site hosting debian downloads ?13:28
_d4vidi dont know13:28
_d4vidis not my site13:29
_d4vidbut hosted on uz for uzbek users13:29
ikonia_d4vid: ubuntu.uz just seems to be a generic mirror for debian and ubuntu files13:29
ikonia_d4vid: infact it doesn't seem to have the ubuntu downloads, just a repo mirror13:30
ikoniaoh no, it is there13:30
ikoniamy mistake13:30
_d4vidok13:35
PriceChildwhat are uzbek users?13:46
Hobbseepeople from uzbekistan?13:52
PriceChildoh :)13:53
PriceChildGary: ikonia https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/ChannelNaming would be the proper document for that then, and making sure that that channel is for that country's LoCo13:54
jpdsShould we: !ohmy =~ s/watch/mind/ ?14:07
ikoniaPriceChild: thank you14:11
ompaulshould we have a channel that does a "remove user to #ubuntu-please-dont-nickchange in #ubuntu14:32
ompauland then another one called14:33
ompaulsomething like:   #ubuntu-you-were-asked-not-to-nick-change for repeat offenders ;-)14:33
ompaulthe first one you can request a remove from14:34
ompaulthe second one you get a 24 hour ban with14:35
ompaulhow random is that14:35
elkyompaul, ompaulishly random14:54
ompaulelky, hmmm I get to be and ishly now14:54
ompaul:)14:54
elkyyes, you're an ishly14:54
elkygeekosophical.net has different flavour now14:55

ompaulheh14:55
elkyeh?14:56
ompaulthe licence on your printed materials on that site14:57
elkyi dont think i ever licensed my stuff on there14:58
nickrudompaul is searching for a roguishly humorous tone14:58
ompaulelky, ;-)14:59
ompaulelky, we don't have fair use but if we did I would say elky you are so right where you said:  "So once again: Please, kids, don’t try this at home. When you do, you make all the people who volunteer technical support online and Baby Tux cry.14:59
ompaulMost of all, you run an extremely high chance of making yourself cry."14:59
elkyhehe14:59
elkyso do you like the theme?15:10
nickrudyes. Except that it's blue (just a personal peeve, everything on the net uses blue as a base ;)15:21
ompaulelky, yea what nickrud said ;-) use brown15:21
ompaulold lined paper slightly yellow15:22
ompaulburnt at edges or some such15:22
elkynickrud, :Þ15:22
nickrudI even have tan gtk theme ;)15:22
elkyyeah, that's my only issue with it too...15:22
elkyi'll see if i can get it to change colour without breaking15:22
elkynote that i didnt actually create that theme, i just stole and fiddled with it15:31
nickrudwhat most of us do ;)15:32

stdinI'm going to fix that in an ugly way15:39

Jack_SparrowMorning Nick15:53
Jack_SparrowSInce you guys are working on factoids..  What about finding a name for this one..15:54
Jack_SparrowInstall ccsm  sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects....  On the first page  put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top...  click on desktop size  and set them to 4, 1 and 1  top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse15:54
Jack_Sparrowcube is taken..15:54
ompaulwhat does ccsm stand for?15:54
ompaul!cube15:54
ubottuCompiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features. See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects »15:54
stdinwouldn't that be better on a wiki page?15:55
ompaulon the wiki page15:55
ompaulon _the_ wiki page15:55
stdinthere are many compiz and compiz related wiki pages15:55
Jack_SparrowYep, but none seem to boil it down to three lines15:56
Jack_Sparrowif you !cube, compiz you still dont get the quick fix of this15:56
Jack_Sparrowcompixconfig settings manager15:56
Jack_SparrowInstall ccsm from term:  sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects....  On the first page  put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top...  click on desktop size  and set them to 4, 1 and 1  top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse15:58
stdinwhat about removing first line of !cube be removed (as it's part of !compiz), then add a link to the wiki and add the cube instructions in the wiki?15:58
stdins/could be removed//15:59
Jack_SparrowHOwever you think it should be done..15:59
stdin!search compiz15:59
ubottuFound: screenlets, xgl, compiz, compizblacklist, composite, cf, ccsm, compiz-fusion, beryl, fusion15:59
stdinwell, we seem to have quite a few factoids on compiz now15:59
stdinok, 4 of those are not aliases. but 4 is still a few16:00
Jack_SparrowI have had a couple people say they though we should have this one somewhere..16:00
Jack_Sparrownp..  Just a thought16:01
Jack_SparrowGotta run and get some windows boxes built16:03
FlannelWouldn't simple-ccsm also suffice?16:05
Jack_SparrowAny tag for it will work16:06
Jack_SparrowThis info is in the links provided, but people like the quick easy fix too.16:07
Jack_SparrowMOrning Flannel and ompaul too16:08
ompaul@now dublin16:08
ubottuompaul: Current time in Europe/Dublin: August 09 2008, 16:08:13 - Next meeting: Arizona LoCo IRC in 1 day16:08

Myrttihello an greetings from Finnish music concert16:13
Myrttimeh, headache16:15
* stdin deletes nickrud's 4 "!something | ... is ..." factoids16:16
nickrudstdin I thought I had all those ;(16:16
nickrudeven deleted some that weren't mine16:17
stdinthey aren't "deleted", just forgotten ;)16:17
nickrudah.16:17
stdinI just felt like clearing the database a bit16:17
elkynickrud, better now?16:24
bazhangno more ^daisy^ is glitches :)16:25
nickrudme hates critiquing other peoples work, since he has no design sense. But purple & blue jars my eyes ;)16:25
elkyha16:25
elkyi'm not going brown16:26
nickrudhow about tan?16:26
elkythat's a brown16:26
nickrudbe a good ubuntu clone, elky :)16:26
elkythe comic will have a brownish theme16:26
elkyi dont want my blog to be the same16:27
nickrudthe reason people use blue is it looks good on a screen. Most other schemes take a real designer to get to mesh properly.16:28
bazhangif the writing is compelling no one cares about the color :)16:33
elkythe blue was trashy cornflour blue before16:36
elkyor whatever the shade is called16:37
bazhangexcept if its that color :)16:37
nickruda deep, rich twightlight blue is always nice ;)16:39
bazhangah yes the twight light; my favorite16:41
PriceChildEmma's asking why she's banned in -irc, bantracker doesn't have anything on it and my current server doesn't know who added the ban.17:12
ikoniawhy should she be in -irc ?17:14
ikonia(genuine question)17:14
PriceChildI'm more concerned about whethere there is a reason she shouldn't be.17:14
PriceChildI'm not sure but I guess she wants to ask a questino about the ubuntu irc stuff.17:15
ikoniaPriceChild: may I pm you ?17:16
PriceChildsure17:16
ompaulPriceChild, pm17:27
