ikoniadoes anyone know bcurtis00:26
ikoniaI think bcurtis is someone I banned under the name "curtis"00:26
ikoniahe's been a persistant ban dodger00:27
ikoniais there a way to get better proof to suggest that bcurtis is/is not the curtis that is ban evading00:32
naliothikonia: got 'whois' info for curtis ?01:47
ikonianalioth:  curtis [n=curtis@96.242.86.246]01:50
ikoniadon't think it's him though01:51
ikoniahis behaviour is nothing like the other guy01:51
ikoniaand [n=curtis@96.242.86.246]01:51
ikoniaeven if it is him, his behaviour is fine now01:51
nalioth:)01:52
elky_workikonia: some do have the capacity to learn, thankfully. we just usually never notice them since they, well, dont command attention again02:00
elky_worknobody reports the people who ask questions politely or are nice enough to thank them. we generally never hear about those02:02
elky_works/thank them/thank for them/02:02
ikoniawell it's either not him (which I think it's not)02:02
ikoniaor he's learnt to participate02:02
ikoniajust worried it was the same pain ban dodging as he has been for a week02:02
elky_workwe'll find out soon enough if it is02:03
naliotheither way, it is no problem02:03

ubottuIn #ubuntu-offtopic, SNuxoll said: !bitlbee is an IRC to IM gateway, it runs as a local irc server on your machine allowing you to chat with your friends on IM networks from your IRC client of choice.02:41
FlannelGah.  Why do we always get large swaths of new people who can't/refuse to follow the rules at the same time?05:13
ubottuz_ called the ops in #ubuntu-offtopic ()05:22
tritiumFlannel: which channel?05:22
Flannel-offtopic, I've managed to herd them back to normalcy though.05:22
Flannelalthough, SNuxoll isn't helping with his recent comments.05:23
tritiumI'm unable to tolerate -offtopic for any significant amount of time05:23
Flannelnot malicious, of course.  Just humorous05:23
elky_workFlannel: snuxoll responds well to private discussions05:38
Flannelelky_work: SNuxoll wasn't being a problem05:38
FlannelJust mentioning that I wasn't an op in -offtopic05:38
Flanneldarn those facts.05:39
elky_workFlannel: the 'isnt helping' bit is what i'm referring to05:39
elky_workhe can have moments of quite helpful if you prod him in the right direction05:39
Flannelelky_work: The "isn't helping" was referring to what I just said.05:39
elky_workFlannel: im just saying, if you dont want him to say it, tell him, and he'll listen and not say it next time05:40
FlannelIt wasn't malicious, or disruptive or anything, just gave me less sway with the ones who were.05:40
elky_workthe thing is he is trying to help, just doesnt understand that it isnt quite successful05:40
mneptoktritium: -offtopic is a marvelous thing. especially for those of us with massive karmic debt.05:41
tritiummneptok: it's so marvelous, it's more than I can handle ;)05:42
mneptokmy god. it's full of stars ....05:43
mneptokMyrtti: you seem to be scary today.05:46
mneptokand only the whip was flaunted. not the pink pen.05:47
MyrttiIts mirggis fault05:49
MyrttiThis piece of crap software - and since it is proprietary, I think Im allowed to curse - has no way to alias, hilight, tabcomplete or mute sounds.05:51
MyrttiToo bad the floss options suck even more.05:52
FlannelMyrtti: ssh into a real client?05:56
MyrttiSsh on dialup? Ssh without decent keyboard? Hell no05:59
JavaGuest264Whjy am I blocked from #ubuntu?06:47

bazhangJavaGuest264, what user nick were you on before06:48
