[00:12] Hmmm, someone who speaks spanish needs to write a factoid for #ubuntu-mx [00:18] !mx [00:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about mx [00:18] !me [00:18] Hi! I'm #ubuntu-ops's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [00:19] hmm, I'm not sure ubottu is *my* favourite infobot [04:04] well, that was fun - NOT [04:04] eh? [04:05] you missed the 3000+ bot attack that hit the network? [04:05] lucky you [04:05] I suppose so. [04:05] knocked hundreds of people off [04:24] nalioth: just now? [04:24] elky_work: the past half hour has been a wild one for the staff [04:25] #ubuntu is _VERY_ lucky to have missed out [04:25] i'm glad to hear we did [04:34] FloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) [04:34] FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) [04:34] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit) [04:36] klined [05:18] same bored people? [05:20] seems teh kiddiez are coming out of the woodwork tonight [05:20] no, not the same [05:41] if only i could trade places with these idiots and use their endless spare time for something productive [05:47] Seriously [06:04] In #ubuntu, h2i said: ubottu: which is why you are disappointing [06:08] * elky_work raises an eyebrow [06:48] wirenik called the ops in #ubuntu (Mecha25) [06:50] hey 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 in [06:50] Mecha25: thanks, gone [06:50] :) gotta love administration [07:00] gotta love when the users help themselves [07:00] rather than just screaming obscenities and pleasing the spam overlords [07:17] I can haz new body? [07:17] Myrtti: we can try put in a bulk order maybe? [07:17] your back hurting again? :( [07:18] Yup... Although it has been worse... I need a new bed and a personal masseuse [07:19] * elky_work cuddles Myrtti better :) [07:20] Myrtti: do you have an eggshell foam layer for your bed? [07:22] Nope... 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... [07:24] i get a bad back all the time, but eggshell mattress does help [07:25] and you can get the 20cm thick eggshell topper for your existing mattress (and roll it up and take it with you) [07:26] yeah [07:26] those are awesome [07:27] To UK ;-) ? [07:28] they sell them in the uk for sure. [07:28] cured me of chronic bad back in less than a month [07:30] Yeah, but not going to buy one from here and ship it there ;-) [07:30] But yeah, I could stash the one here at my moms [07:38] Myrtti: you're moving to the UK? [07:39] Might be ;-) [07:39] everyone is moving closer to me [07:40] Yeah, we love you so [08:18] * Myrtti cuddles everyone [08:34] Guys, Ordos is in #kubuntu-offtopic [08:34] "93 new messages in awaylog". Fail... [08:34] Farmer man!!! ... hmmm, he almost needs his own theme music. [08:35] Flannel: Yeah, I put his IP on hilights... got a ton of msgs in awaylog :( [08:41] * Flannel is grumpy at google for making people misunderstand the software stages. [09:08] * Myrtti curses loudly [09:09] * Myrtti huggles Gary [09:09] getting pm chat ups from a person who seems to only be in #ubuntu btw Myrtti [09:09] maybe they are pm'ing others? [09:10] faik78 is the nick [09:10] just for your info btw [09:10] hmmm [09:11] I've not seen any reports [09:11] they might just be stalking me, but since they only seem to be in that channel, thought i'd let you know [09:14] any reason for holycow to be idling here day after day? [09:16] Gary, got him in PM now [09:23] woo, it is a chat up, gave me his/her msn address now... [09:23] lol [09:24] so thats two of us, wonder who else? [09:26] seems not to be malicious so far. [09:27] just a reaaaallly low EQ [09:27] just not considerate [09:27] yup [09:27] I told im it was seen as rude [09:29] Gary, I PM'ed him to ask about it [09:29] holycow, how may we assist you? there is a no idle policy here. [09:33] Gary, he agreed not to randomly PM people; see how long that holds. [09:33] yay [09:42] Gary: I got one [09:42] he just quit [09:57] ikonia, when? ie in the last five minutes or so? [09:57] err that is from when you posted that [10:01] @btlogin [10:04] errr about 9:40 according to my log [10:04] bazhang: so about 10 minutes before I posted that [10:04] elkbuntu: while you're at it, check holycow from the logs [10:05] ikonia, okay thanks; thought he had kept it up after our chat in PM when he said he would cease. [10:06] from what you said it was about the same time, maybe just before [10:06] aha [10:30] :O [10:31] whut [10:31] dunno [10:31] he has refused to explain his being here, nobody knows why he'd be here... [10:33] he's banforwarded from somewhere i think [10:33] but where, i really have no clue [10:34] but, he's one that mostly dealt with sev [10:37] thought he was ban-forwarded from kubuntu-kde4 [10:38] no trace of why [10:39] thought it was his ident; used to be much worse than biteme [10:41] bazhang, he waits until he's allowed into places then changes it, from what i remember [10:41] it's like a game [10:42] I think you are correct elkbuntu [10:42] like a game for a child waiting for her parents to turn their back before stealing the cookies [10:43] mmm...cookies [10:44] who is ubot5 again? [10:45] jpd-s one iirc [10:53] that was weird [10:53] very [10:54] and back as shuttleworthless [10:55] briefly. [10:56] ha, that's the best insult they could come up with? [10:56] YO I USED TO SELL OIL. NOW I USE AFRICA TO MARKET A RAP linux distro [10:57] * elkbuntu raises an eyebrow [10:59] ah, he hit -women too [10:59] gone though [11:00] this is fun... Fujisan is pestering #freenode [11:00] 12:54 < Fujisan> i have waited for hours :( [11:00] heh [11:00] 12:59 < Myrtti> Fujisan: I had to wait 18 years to become adult [11:00] is he still trying to get cloaked? [11:00] yup [11:00] he thinks the cloak will let him ban evade [11:01] he even said so several times [11:01] \o/ [11:03] * elkbuntu couldn't resist [11:03] kekekek [11:04] I was thinking about it..... [11:05] hehe [11:05] hahahaha [11:06] what did I miss? [11:09] is everyone else laughing now? [11:11] I'm crying [11:11] does that count? [11:11] I'm kinda giggling [11:11] well, most of that is lack of chocolate [11:12] his lack of clue makes me sorta ... lack my faith in humankind again [11:12] Myrtti, remember that the staff haven't granted him a cloak because of his lack of clue, and remember that faith [11:12] I don't know why he's just not removed, it's clear he will add no value to any channel [11:14] the whole 'ignore, but never say no because that might cause conflict' thing freenode has going in the situation isn't helping much. [11:14] it's just, prolonging the problem [11:14] I don't see an issue in saying "sorry your a known issue to multiple channels - bye" [11:15] letting it amble on seems to just create an issue [11:15] (from where I am sitting) [11:19] ikonia, i agree totally. it's counter productive and only causing time-sinks. [11:19] look at the ammount of nonsense being discussed in there already about it [11:19] an amusing one that reacts well to being poked, but still. [11:19] he says he's 23 and can't participate in a conversation - so therefore why bother [11:19] is he the same person that Matthew G bloged about? [11:19] gnomefreak, no [11:19] ah ok [11:20] gnomefreak, this guy wouldnt have the brains to pull off what mr farmer did [11:20] aka ORDOS [11:20] from what im seeing your right [11:20] ah him again [11:20] now in k-ot [11:20] the 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 wording [11:20] lol [11:21] not real bright at all [11:21] that channel being #ubuntu [11:21] on release day [11:21] he's been waiting that long for his precious little cloak that a. wont work, b. wont work, c. wont work. [11:22] it might have been the day after release day, cant remember, but well... yeah. [11:23] hahaha [11:24] he changed his user name to Japan and the channels hes in are not the same either (no ##f*ubuntu) [11:26] ikonia: spoken well but i might have said "remove him" to more of a question [11:26] no - it was a request - not a question [11:26] I do'nt see the point in allow it to continue [11:26] don't [11:27] i agree 100% [11:27] but i doubt they will remove/ban him from freenode [11:27] I doubt it to [11:27] as I said "for the record" [11:28] yep [11:29] just felt someone had to "say it" for the record [11:29] rich 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 issue [11:30] his behaviour in #ubuntu-* is an ubuntu issue as I see it, hence why I'm not asking / requesting staff resolve it [11:30] im still not happy about his call but it is a right one unless we hae proof other channels were involved [11:30] his attitude/behaviour on the server has a whole - is for the record [11:30] gnomefreak, #freenode is a channel. [11:30] he does the same to defocus [11:30] he basically tries to chat up anything that looks vaguely female [11:31] * ikonia shaves the beard [11:31] elkbuntu: but rich isnt seeing it that way [11:31] in the sense as he only muted him for continueing [11:32] gnomefreak, the current tactics are of the 'out of our site, out of our mind' kind of network management [11:33] freenode has changed alot since it was taken over but mostly since jan. this year [11:34] yes, indeed [11:34] for the worst IMO [11:35] gnomefreak, you're not the only one who thinks that [11:35] i think i know Uzr277 just cant remember from where [11:35] elkbuntu: good i thought i was or atleast one of 2 or 3 [11:36] gnomefreak, what channel for uzr277 [11:37] bazhang: dont remember it wsa a while ago [11:37] bazhang: #freenode [11:37] bazhang, #f [11:37] my only issue is only about enabling pm's by default for unregistered [11:37] oh now yes #freenode [11:39] please dont do it [11:39] this guy [11:40] rich is gonna get mad and mute/ban/remove peoeple [11:40] how about we keep our issues on this side of the fence. I'm pretty sure the people at #freenode have their hands full [11:40] people [11:49] ooh, ompaul singing - scary [11:49] http://www.flickr.com/photos/xalior/2716796701/in/set-72157606455931965/ [11:49] hmm possible /b/tard in -ot [11:50] Mez: looooollll [11:57] hummm... [11:58] !time evoked a response from both bah and I also got a notice from 13:57 [freenode] -Kate798(i=user@pool-96-229-242-178.lsanca.fios.verizon.net)- Current time: Mon Aug 18 03:57:20 2008 [11:58] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:59] oh really now [11:59] yep, same here too... [12:00] who is 'bah'? [12:00] elkbuntu, no idea, but I thought he was a bot a couple of days ago - there actually IS a person there though [12:00] (aswell) [12:01] he's still on the channel, I muted him [12:01] Myrtti, I changed your ban to a forward [12:02] was doing that myself, thanks luv [12:02] hehe, ah... sorry [12:02] didnt realy [12:02] realise * [12:17] oh *lookie* [12:17] * Myrtti looks [12:19] Myrtti, zax [12:19] don't get her started on him.... [12:20] he is nothing compared to zaapiel [12:33] wgrant called the ops in #ubuntu-devel () [12:34] keybuk to the rescue [12:35] * Myrtti yawns [12:43] well the guys in #ubuntu-ru are not helpful people [12:43] I can see why n_i_k_a was joining #ubuntu [12:44] -ru is a trollpit unfortunately [12:44] I didn't realise that [12:44] is there no ops in there ? [12:44] only time i ever went in there, it caused a flood of horny russians to go to -women and ask for sex [12:45] ah [12:45] I've just had to remove a guy from #ubuntu - he's been a pain all day but I genuinly think he doesn't understand [12:45] I asked for some one to translate to get help across to him, and was greeted with smart answers [12:45] sad for a community [12:46] yeah [12:46] some people are not worth the effort [12:46] I don't think his intentions where bad, just couldn't understand [12:46] more to the point, we dont get paid enough. [12:46] I demand more cookies [12:46] just hoped if someone explained in his native language he'd understand and I can remove the ban [12:46] ikonia: who? [12:47] N_I_K_A [n=Jey@195.46.100.198] has quit ["ÌåÍÿ ÁîËüØå òÓò Íåò..."] [12:47] Pici, *more*? you mean you're getting some already? WHERE'S MINE?! [12:47] * Myrtti points to translate.google.com [12:47] no, not really. [12:47] it's not a way to have an interactive conversation [12:47] ikonia: he/it did the same thing in -devel [12:48] I know [12:48] I just don't think he understood [13:09] that was not standard russian [13:09] more like leet-russian [13:11] * Pricey wonders what he walked in on [13:12] bazhang, clueless drifter from -ru floated into -devel and #ubuntu [13:12] elkbuntu, that is being generous imo [13:12] probably [13:13] russian doesnt usually replace cyrillic characters with numb4rs [13:19] Looks like i.ve missed an interesting night. [13:20] bazhang, many of them write english with the cyrillic alphabet [13:23] Yay and more anti-freenode [13:24] we're quite entitled to disagree strongly with how things are run [13:24] like, 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 channels [13:25] Indeed [13:25] Haven't looked outside this channel yet [13:25] * Myrtti gives pricey a cookie [13:26] PriceChild, lets just say a few of us burned off steam [13:26] it was good fun for all who watched. [13:27] PriceChild, heads up on bacta in #freenode, he's on an ISP warning for harrassing the linuxchix server ;) [13:28] not a good idea to mess with friends of ISP management in NZ [13:34] incoming netsplit? [13:35] i'll take a look at fuj when home [13:36] i'm only checking up, not in other channels === tomaw_ is now known as tomaw [13:55] * jussi01 walks in [13:59] i must figure how you do that? i havent worked out how to walk into my monitor without it complaining [14:00] hehe [14:13] * Myrtti sighs [14:14] what's up [14:15] apart from being frustrated senseless? [14:16] nothing much [14:16] why frustation ? [14:18] several 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 *.html [14:18] haha [14:18] * elkbuntu huggles Myrtti [14:18] Oooh. :( [14:18] just imagine how cool that makes you look [14:19] almost 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] "RIGHT?" [14:20] heh [14:26] I need something to twiddle with. I feel like breaking something. [14:31] Pici: is he in other channels too ? [14:31] oh, it's doel again [14:43] how sad he's muted [14:43] * Myrtti yawns [14:47] ikonia: what was that? [14:47] which one ? [14:48] oh, right [14:48] I saw wrong [14:48] ah [14:48] spoke to him in pm - he seemed to understand [14:48] another russian guy [16:35] soundray called the ops in #ubuntu (slipttees abuse) [17:05] wow nice work freenode dudes :) [17:08] eyes on EXT4 - seen him before [17:09] (assuming it's the same guy) [17:10] seems like it [17:20] lenswipe seems a pain [17:20] he is pushing the envelope [17:23] trying to speak to him in pm [17:24] helps if I mute the right guy ! [17:24] haha [17:24] ooh good [17:24] I did [17:24] phew [17:24] just wasn't responding [17:26] he didn't respond in pm - and is carrying on #ubuntu [17:42] ok, I'm going to pull ASUS-tek over [17:42] whre is he ? [17:42] offtopic ? [17:42] want me to PM  [17:42] no, I'll do it [17:43] k [17:43] I'll mute him on -offtopic for the duration [17:59] n=andre@92.3.250.0 [17:59] does that seem like a faked address to anyone ;) [18:00] he's actually on the network address [18:05] that was threedee? [18:05] seems very familiar [18:05] yes [18:05] aha [18:05] .0 network address is odd though [18:05] and the cd cant play questions [18:06] yes, but its the .0 network address that seems odd [18:07] true; I was thinking about the andre and the fake outrage [18:07] yes a network address for an IP for some one who is "new" seems most odd [18:49] umm why did i get banned from ubuntu? [18:50] takeyouthere: because you've been in 3 times today [18:50] spouting the same thung [18:50] I never got a chance to say [18:50] good [18:51] takeyouthere: #ubuntu-offtopic is the place for Ubuntu related chit chat [18:51] you 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 etc [18:51] I didnt say anything about shuttleworth [18:51] i was going to say that if i made a distro i would never be able to live with gnome if i choosed it [18:52] takeyouthere: multiple trips to the 'enter' key aren't welcome, either [18:54] takeyouthere: you where in earlier as the user doel also [18:54] doel? [18:55] ahh doel was not you [18:55] my mistake [18:55] a similar nick [18:56] takeyouthere: you where in earlier just pasting the same lines as you have ejust tried to do [18:56] no i wasnt going to do that i was going to say the reason [18:56] you've just done it [18:56] again [18:57] exactly the same as before [18:58] takeyouthere: why where you doing that ? was there a reason you kept flooding the channel on multiple occasions with the same text ? [18:58] my keyboard does that sometimes [18:59] i got a new one [18:59] please don't try that [18:59] you seem to be able to type perfectly, then it stick on that line again, exactly the same as before [19:00] you also manged to change the line from "what ubuntu did" to "what canonical" did [19:00] thats not a keyboard sticking [19:01] could you explain the real reason ? [19:02] takeyouthere: 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 explain [19:03] yeah i am busy playing kingdom hearts i will come back later [19:15] Daviey called the ops in #ubuntu (henry_) [19:15] sorted [19:16] bubblesort [19:17] Daviey, arent you an op? [19:18] apparently not [19:20] Mez: nope [19:20] Daviey, why the voice in here then? [19:20] because i rock :) [19:32] I would call it a chocolaty thump [19:32] Can I eat it? [19:32] Today was a good day. [19:41] hullo ompaul [19:42] Myrtti, after morning [19:45] jussi01, can #ubuntu-ke (kenya) have a bot? [19:45] * ompaul feels very close to saying "they can has bot?" [19:45] ompaul: perhaps nalioth could supply them with some other than ubottu? [19:46] ohh its a jussi01 with extra bits [19:46] nalioth, if you see this jussi01, can #ubuntu-ke (kenya) have a bot? [19:46] * ompaul feels very close to saying "they can has bot?" perhaps you could help / oblige [19:46] ompaul: ask jpds [19:46] jpds, ^^ [19:47] jussi01_: Ah, there you are. [19:47] * Pici wrangles the bots [19:47] heh [19:47] jussi01, I can ask botz for jpds ? [19:47] !jpds [19:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about jpds [19:47] what going on?youall missed me?

[19:52] jussi01_, start crying at them about the crimes against sparrows [19:52] or something [19:53] every time someone starts windows a flea dies I don't know // me runs out of rational thought [19:53] hehe [19:54] and who ever decided on this mammothstart bar... should be shot [20:02] eth01 called the ops in #ubuntu () [20:04] we know we know .... [20:04] Grumpy grumpy [20:05] * jussi01_ hugs ompaul [20:05] ohnoes! [20:05] Jack_Sparrow, I just wondered why more people don't say that ;-) [20:05] someone has given Jack_Sparrow grumblecookies! [20:06] HIIIIDDDEEE [20:06] They work well in my slingshot [20:28] * Myrtti sighs [21:11] !prayer [21:11] Dear $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.
