Mez!me00:18
ubottuHi! I'm #ubuntu-ops's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots00:18
Seeker`hmm, I'm not sure ubottu is *my* favourite infobot00:19
naliothwell, that was fun - NOT04:04
Flanneleh?04:04

FlannelI suppose so.04:05
naliothknocked hundreds of people off04:05
elky_worknalioth: just now?04:24
naliothelky_work: the past half hour has been a wild one for the staff04:24
nalioth#ubuntu is _VERY_ lucky to have missed out04:25

elky_workif only i could trade places with these idiots and use their endless spare time for something productive05:41
FlannelSeriously05:47
ubottuIn #ubuntu, h2i said: ubottu: which is why you are disappointing06:04
* elky_work raises an eyebrow06:08
ubottuwirenik called the ops in #ubuntu (Mecha25)06:48
Mecha25hey guys, there's somebody /msg spamming #ubuntu.  Different nicks each time, occasionally repeating.  Also, it's odd, none of the nicks are listed as logged in06:50
naliothMecha25: thanks, gone06:50
Mecha25:) gotta love administration06:50
elky_workgotta love when the users help themselves07:00
elky_workrather than just screaming obscenities and pleasing the spam overlords07:00
MyrttiI can haz new body?07:17
elky_workMyrtti: we can try put in a bulk order maybe?07:17
elky_workyour back hurting again? :(07:17
MyrttiYup... Although it has been worse... I need a new bed and a personal masseuse07:18
* elky_work cuddles Myrtti better :)07:19
elky_workMyrtti: do you have an eggshell foam layer for your bed?07:20
MyrttiNope... Ive got only a foam mattress... I should really invest... Though...if my plans of moving are turning true, it might be best not to buy a thing...07:22
elky_worki get a bad back all the time, but eggshell mattress does help07:24
naliothand you can get the 20cm thick eggshell topper for your existing mattress (and roll it up and take it with you)07:25
elky_workyeah07:26
bazhangthose are awesome07:26
MyrttiTo UK ;-) ?07:27
bazhangthey sell them in the uk for sure.07:28
bazhangcured me of chronic bad back in less than a month07:28
MyrttiYeah, but not going to buy one from here and ship it there ;-)07:30
MyrttiBut yeah, I could stash the one here at my moms07:30
elky_workMyrtti: you're moving to the UK?07:38
MyrttiMight be ;-)07:39

* Myrtti huggles Gary 09:09
Garygetting pm chat ups from a person who seems to only be in #ubuntu btw Myrtti09:09
Garymaybe they are pm'ing others?09:09
Garyfaik78 is the nick09:10
Garyjust for your info btw09:10
Myrttihmmm09:10
MyrttiI've not seen any reports09:11
Garythey might just be stalking me, but since they only seem to be in that channel, thought i'd let you know09:11
bazhangany reason for holycow to be idling here day after day?09:14
bazhangGary, got him in PM now09:16
Garywoo, it is a chat up, gave me his/her msn address now...09:23
Myrttilol09:23
Garyso thats two of us, wonder who else?09:24
bazhangseems not to be malicious so far.09:26
bazhangjust a reaaaallly low EQ09:27
Myrttijust not considerate09:27
bazhangyup09:27
GaryI told im it was seen as rude09:27
bazhangGary, I PM'ed him to ask about it09:29
bazhangholycow, how may we assist you? there is a no idle policy here.09:29
bazhangGary, he agreed not to randomly PM people; see how long that holds.09:33
Garyyay09:33
ikoniaGary: I got one09:42
ikoniahe just quit09:42
bazhangikonia, when? ie in the last five minutes or so?09:57
bazhangerr that is from when you posted that09:57
elkbuntu@btlogin10:01
ikoniaerrr about 9:40 according to my log10:04
ikoniabazhang: so about 10 minutes before I posted that10:04
Myrttielkbuntu: while you're at it, check holycow from the logs10:04
bazhangikonia, okay thanks; thought he had kept it up after our chat in PM when he said he would cease.10:05
ikoniafrom what you said it was about the same time, maybe just before10:06
bazhangaha10:06
Seeker`:O10:30
Myrttiwhut10:31
Seeker`dunno10:31
Myrttihe has refused to explain his being here, nobody knows why he'd be here...10:31
elkbuntuhe's banforwarded from somewhere i think10:33
elkbuntubut where, i really have no clue10:33
elkbuntubut, he's one that mostly dealt with sev10:34
bazhangthought he was ban-forwarded from kubuntu-kde410:37
elkbuntuno trace of why10:38
bazhangthought it was his ident; used to be much worse than biteme10:39
elkbuntubazhang, he waits until he's allowed into places then changes it, from what i remember10:41
elkbuntuit's like a game10:41
bazhangI think you are correct elkbuntu10:42
elkbuntulike a game for a child waiting for her parents to turn their back before stealing the cookies10:42
Seeker`mmm...cookies10:43
elkbuntuwho is ubot5 again?10:44
bazhangjpd-s one iirc10:45
bazhangthat was weird10:53
ikoniavery10:53
bazhangand back as shuttleworthless10:54
bazhangbriefly.10:55
elkbuntuha, that's the best insult they could come up with?10:56
bazhang<Shuttleworthless> YO I USED TO SELL OIL. NOW I USE AFRICA TO MARKET A RAP linux distro10:56
* elkbuntu raises an eyebrow10:57
elkbuntuah, he hit -women too10:59
elkbuntugone though10:59
Myrttithis is fun... Fujisan is pestering #freenode11:00
Myrtti12:54 < Fujisan> i have waited for hours :(11:00
elkbuntuheh11:00
Myrtti12:59 < Myrtti> Fujisan: I had to wait 18 years to become adult11:00
elkbuntuis he still trying to get cloaked?11:00
Myrttiyup11:00
elkbuntuhe thinks the cloak will let him ban evade11:00
elkbuntuhe even said so several times11:01
bazhang\o/11:01
* elkbuntu couldn't resist11:03
Myrttikekekek11:03
ikoniaI was thinking about it.....11:04
Garyhehe11:05
elkbuntuhahahaha11:05
Mezwhat did I miss?11:06
elkbuntuis everyone else laughing now?11:09
MyrttiI'm crying11:11
Myrttidoes that count?11:11
GaryI'm kinda giggling11:11
Garywell, most of that is lack of chocolate11:11
Myrttihis lack of clue makes me sorta ... lack my faith in humankind again11:12
elkbuntuMyrtti, remember that the staff haven't granted him a cloak because of his lack of clue, and remember that faith11:12
ikoniaI don't know why he's just not removed, it's clear he will add no value to any channel11:12
elkbuntuthe whole 'ignore, but never say no because that might cause conflict' thing freenode has going in the situation isn't helping much.11:14
elkbuntuit's just, prolonging the problem11:14
ikoniaI don't see an issue in saying "sorry your a known issue to multiple channels - bye"11:14
ikonialetting it amble on seems to just create an issue11:15
ikonia(from where I am sitting)11:15
elkbuntuikonia, i agree totally. it's counter productive and only causing time-sinks.11:19
ikonialook at the ammount of nonsense being discussed in there already about it11:19
elkbuntuan amusing one that reacts well to being poked, but still.11:19
ikoniahe says he's 23 and can't participate in a conversation - so therefore why bother11:19
gnomefreakis he the same person that Matthew G bloged about?11:19
elkbuntugnomefreak, no11:19
gnomefreakah ok11:19
elkbuntugnomefreak, this guy wouldnt have the brains to pull off what mr farmer did11:20
bazhangaka ORDOS11:20
gnomefreakfrom what im seeing your right11:20
gnomefreakah him again11:20
bazhangnow in k-ot11:20
elkbuntuthe first time this guy asked for a cloak it was literally 'so i can get into a channel that banned me' in pretty much that wording11:20
gnomefreaklol11:20
gnomefreaknot real bright at all11:21
elkbuntuthat channel being #ubuntu11:21
elkbuntuon release day11:21
elkbuntuhe's been waiting that long for his precious little cloak that a. wont work, b. wont work, c. wont work.11:21
elkbuntuit might have been the day after release day, cant remember, but well... yeah.11:22
elkbuntuhahaha11:23
gnomefreakhe changed his user name to Japan and the channels hes in are not the same either (no ##f*ubuntu)11:24
gnomefreakikonia: spoken well but i might have said "remove him" to more of a question11:26
ikoniano - it was a request - not a question11:26
ikoniaI do'nt see the point in allow it to continue11:26
ikoniadon't11:26
gnomefreaki agree 100%11:27
gnomefreakbut i doubt they will remove/ban him from freenode11:27
ikoniaI doubt it to11:27
ikoniaas I said "for the record"11:27
gnomefreakyep11:28
ikoniajust felt someone had to "say it" for the record11:29
gnomefreakrich made right call but im not sure if its freenode issue or ubuntu issue atm, if he did same in other freenode channels that it would be freenode issue11:29
ikoniahis behaviour in #ubuntu-* is an ubuntu issue as I see it, hence why I'm not asking / requesting staff resolve it11:30
gnomefreakim still not happy about his call but it is a right one unless we hae proof other channels were involved11:30
ikoniahis attitude/behaviour on the server has a whole - is for the record11:30
elkbuntugnomefreak, #freenode is a channel.11:30
elkbuntuhe does the same to defocus11:30
elkbuntuhe basically tries to chat up anything that looks vaguely female11:30
* ikonia shaves the beard11:31
gnomefreakelkbuntu: but rich isnt seeing it that way11:31
gnomefreakin the sense as he only muted him for continueing11:31
elkbuntugnomefreak, the current tactics are of the 'out of our site, out of our mind' kind of network management11:32
gnomefreakfreenode has changed alot since it was taken over  but mostly since jan. this year11:33
elkbuntuyes, indeed11:34
gnomefreakfor the worst IMO11:34
elkbuntugnomefreak, you're not the only one who thinks that11:35
gnomefreaki think i know Uzr277 just cant remember from where11:35
gnomefreakelkbuntu: good i thought i was or atleast one of 2 or 311:35
bazhanggnomefreak, what channel for uzr27711:36
gnomefreakbazhang: dont remember it wsa a while ago11:37
jpdsbazhang: #freenode11:37
elkbuntubazhang, #f11:37
Myrttimy only issue is only about enabling pm's by default for unregistered11:37
gnomefreakoh now yes #freenode11:37
gnomefreakplease dont do it11:39
elkbuntuthis guy11:39
gnomefreakrich is gonna get mad and mute/ban/remove peoeple11:40
Myrttihow about we keep our issues on this side of the fence. I'm pretty sure the people at #freenode have their hands full11:40
gnomefreakpeople11:40
Mezooh, ompaul singing - scary11:49

elkbuntuoh really now11:59
Mezyep, same here too...11:59
elkbuntuwho is 'bah'?12:00
Mezelkbuntu, no idea, but I thought he was a bot a couple of days ago - there actually IS a person there though12:00
Mez(aswell)12:00
Myrttihe's still on the channel, I muted him12:01
MezMyrtti, I changed your ban to a forward12:01
Myrttiwas doing that myself, thanks luv12:02
Mezhehe, ah... sorry12:02
Mezdidnt realy12:02
Mezrealise *12:02
elkbuntuoh *lookie*12:17
* Myrtti looks12:17
elkbuntuMyrtti, zax12:19
Picidon't get her started on him....12:19
bazhanghe is nothing compared to zaapiel12:20
ubottuwgrant called the ops in #ubuntu-devel ()12:33
elkbuntukeybuk to the rescue12:34
* Myrtti yawns12:35
ikoniawell the guys in #ubuntu-ru are not helpful people12:43
ikoniaI can see why n_i_k_a was joining #ubuntu12:43
elkbuntu-ru is a trollpit unfortunately12:44
ikoniaI didn't realise that12:44
ikoniais there no ops in there ?12:44
elkbuntuonly time i ever went in there, it caused a flood of horny russians to go to -women and ask for sex12:44
ikoniaah12:45
ikoniaI've just had to remove a guy from #ubuntu - he's been a pain all day but I genuinly think he doesn't understand12:45
ikoniaI asked for some one to translate to get help across to him, and was greeted with smart answers12:45
ikoniasad for a community12:45
elkbuntuyeah12:46
elkbuntusome people are not worth the effort12:46
ikoniaI don't think his intentions where bad, just couldn't understand12:46
elkbuntumore to the point, we dont get paid enough.12:46
PiciI demand more cookies12:46
ikoniajust hoped if someone explained in his native language he'd understand and I can remove the ban12:46
Piciikonia: who?12:46
ikoniaN_I_K_A [n=Jey@195.46.100.198] has quit ["ÌåÍÿ ÁîËüØå òÓò Íåò..."]12:47
elkbuntuPici, *more*? you mean you're getting some already? WHERE'S MINE?!12:47
* Myrtti points to translate.google.com12:47
Myrttino, not really.12:47
ikoniait's not a way to have an interactive conversation12:47
Piciikonia: he/it did the same thing in -devel12:47
ikoniaI know12:48
ikoniaI just don't think he understood12:48
bazhangthat was not standard russian13:09
bazhangmore like leet-russian13:09
* Pricey wonders what he walked in on13:11
elkbuntubazhang, clueless drifter from -ru floated into -devel and #ubuntu13:12
bazhangelkbuntu, that is being generous imo13:12
elkbuntuprobably13:12
bazhangrussian doesnt usually replace cyrillic characters with numb4rs13:13
PriceyLooks like i.ve missed an interesting night.13:19
elkbuntubazhang, many of them write english with the cyrillic alphabet13:20
PriceyYay and more anti-freenode13:23
elkbuntuwe're quite entitled to disagree strongly with how things are run13:24
elkbuntulike, how fujisan is allowed to ask for months for a cloak, be told it's in progress, whilst annoying the living daylight out of everyone in the vincinity of the main freenode channels13:24
PriceyIndeed13:25
PriceyHaven't looked outside this channel yet13:25
* Myrtti gives pricey a cookie13:25
elkbuntuPriceChild, lets just say a few of us burned off steam13:26
elkbuntuit was good fun for all who watched.13:26
elkbuntuPriceChild, heads up on bacta in #freenode, he's on an ISP warning for harrassing the linuxchix server ;)13:27
elkbuntunot a good idea to mess with friends of ISP management in NZ13:28
elkbuntuincoming netsplit?13:34
PriceChildi'll take a look at fuj when home13:35
PriceChildi'm only checking up, not in other channels13:36

* jussi01 walks in13:55
elkbuntui must figure how you do that? i havent worked out how to walk into my monitor without it complaining13:59
jussi01hehe14:00
* Myrtti sighs14:13
ikoniawhat's up14:14
Myrttiapart from being frustrated senseless?14:15
Myrttinothing much14:16
ikoniawhy frustation ?14:16
Myrttiseveral reasons, most prominent being that a person who is supposed to know thing or two about python and perl seems to know nothing and also has no experience in linux. in addition he didn't apparently understand he could run tidy to *.html14:18
elkbuntuhaha14:18
* elkbuntu huggles Myrtti14:18
PiciOooh. :(14:18
elkbuntujust imagine how cool that makes you look14:18
Myrttialmost as cool as when I innocently asked after an upload to a server failed several times "max_uploads = 2M has been changed to 160M in php.ini, right?"14:19
Myrtti"RIGHT?"14:19
elkbuntuheh14:20
MyrttiI need something to twiddle with. I feel like breaking something.14:26
ikoniaPici: is he in other channels too ?14:31
ikoniaoh, it's doel again14:31
Myrttihow sad he's muted14:43
* Myrtti yawns14:43
Myrttiikonia: what was that?14:47
ikoniawhich one ?14:47
Myrttioh, right14:48
MyrttiI saw wrong14:48
ikoniaah14:48
ikoniaspoke to him in pm - he seemed to understand14:48
ikoniaanother russian guy14:48
ubottusoundray called the ops in #ubuntu (slipttees abuse)16:35
bazhangwow nice work freenode dudes :)17:05
ikoniaeyes on EXT4 - seen him before17:08
ikonia(assuming it's the same guy)17:09
bazhangseems like it17:10
ikonialenswipe seems a pain17:20
bazhanghe is pushing the envelope17:20
ikoniatrying to speak to him in pm17:23
ikoniahelps if I mute the right guy !17:24
bazhanghaha17:24
ikoniaooh good17:24
ikoniaI did17:24
ikoniaphew17:24
ikoniajust wasn't responding17:24
ikoniahe didn't respond in pm - and is carrying on #ubuntu17:26
Myrttiok, I'm going to pull ASUS-tek over17:42
ikoniawhre is he ?17:42

MyrttiI'll mute him on -offtopic for the duration17:43
ikonian=andre@92.3.250.017:59
ikoniadoes that seem like a faked address to anyone ;)17:59
ikoniahe's actually on the network address18:00
bazhangthat was threedee?18:05
bazhangseems very familiar18:05
ikoniayes18:05
bazhangaha18:05
ikonia.0 network address is odd though18:05
bazhangand the cd cant play questions18:05
ikoniayes, but its the .0 network address that seems odd18:06
bazhangtrue; I was thinking about the andre and the fake outrage18:07
ikoniayes a network address for an IP for some one who is "new" seems most odd18:07
takeyouthereumm why did i get banned from ubuntu?18:49
ikoniatakeyouthere: because you've been in 3 times today18:50
ikoniaspouting the same thung18:50
takeyouthereI never got a chance to say18:50
ikoniagood18:50
naliothtakeyouthere: #ubuntu-offtopic is the place for Ubuntu related chit chat18:51
ikoniayou have been in a minimum of 3 times today spouting rubbish about not being able to live with your self if you where ubuntu and what they did, and shuttleworth raped africa etc etc18:51
takeyouthereI didnt say anything about shuttleworth18:51
takeyoutherei was going to say that if i made a distro i would never be able to live with gnome if i choosed it18:51
naliothtakeyouthere: multiple trips to the 'enter' key aren't welcome, either18:52

takeyouthereno i wasnt going to do that i was going to say the reason18:56
ikoniayou've just done it18:56
ikoniaagain18:56
ikoniaexactly the same as before18:57
ikoniatakeyouthere: why where you doing that ? was there a reason you kept flooding the channel on multiple occasions with the same text ?18:58
takeyoutheremy keyboard does that sometimes18:58
takeyoutherei got a new one18:59
ikoniaplease don't try that18:59
ikoniayou seem to be able to type perfectly, then it stick on that line again, exactly the same as before18:59
ikoniayou also manged to change the line from "what ubuntu did" to "what canonical" did19:00
ikoniathats not a keyboard sticking19:00
ikoniacould you explain the real reason ?19:01
ikoniatakeyouthere: if you've not got a real reason for this, could you leave the channel and come back when you do have a real reason you' like to explain19:02
takeyouthereyeah i am busy playing kingdom hearts i will come back later19:03

ubottuDear $DEITY, Give me strength to understand and work with users who question my logic, the rules, netiquette and common sense. Give me resilience to teach them the basics of Linux, Ubuntu, Community Guidelines and IRC. Allow me not to stray to nitpicking, argument, foul language or leisure op abuse. Deliver me my daily xkcd, User Friendly, LWN, /. and Planet Ubuntu, and guard over my encrypted drives. Let it be so.21:11
ikonian=curtis*!curtis@* is that an acceptable ban format for any nick based on curtis and with an ident of curtis on any host21:33
ikoniacould someone verify that for me please21:34
PriceChildikonia: nope that's not good21:34
ikoniaPriceChild: can you educate please21:34
PriceChildcurtis!?=curtis@* would be what you want, but be careful21:34
ikoniaexactly why I'm checking21:35
PriceChilddifferent be careful21:35
ikoniaooh21:35
PriceChildbe careful about what your wildcards will match21:35
PriceChildthat's after being careful that you've made it do what you want it to do :)21:35
PriceChildikonia: /whois ikonia.21:36
ikoniaPriceChild: but isn't curtis!? only doing "curtis" as a nick21:36
ikoniaI'm identified21:36
PriceChild-!- ikonia [n=mattd@unaffiliated/ikonia] is what you should get (or there abouts21:37
ikoniaapologies, not following21:37
PriceChildTo match that exactly in a ban, you would do +b ikonia!n=mattd@unaffiliated/ikonia21:38
ikoniayup21:38
ikoniathat part I get21:38
PriceChildNow, in there you can put *s or ?s.21:38
ubottuerUSUL called the ops in #ubuntu (juikku)21:40
ikoniaso if I did ikonia?s would that capture all parts of "ikonia" starting nick names21:40
ikoniaeg: ikonia_avoid21:40
PriceChildNo21:40
PriceChild? only matches a single character21:40
PriceChild* matches any number21:40
ikoniaahh21:40
PriceChildso ikonia? matches ikoniaa, ikoniab, etc.21:40
ikoniaI was trying to be careful to not go overboard21:40
ikoniayes, I see that21:40
PriceChildikonia* matches ikoniaaaaaaaaaaaa21:40
ikoniathank you, thats clear21:40
ikoniathat makes sense now21:41
PriceChildif you are making a ban on the ident, you might want to do *!?=mattd@*21:41
PriceChildThat ? will match i or n, which are the two options, depepnding on identd or not21:41
