ompaulPriceChild, next visitor for you00:10
ompaulnot mine00:10
ompaulkojv with channel ctcp ping00:10
PriceChildhmm k00:10
KOJVI'm sorry, didn't know that channel ping ain't allowed. Will you please unban me? Thank you.00:17
ompaulPriceChild, ^^00:20
ompaulPriceChild, look at the ip before you pass judgement00:20
* ompaul hands off00:21
KOJVompaul, what's with my ip? :S00:21
ompaulyou changed ip00:22
KOJVompaul, oh. Yeah, that's because I had the wrong cable inserted so that my identd wouldn't work.00:22
KOJVompaul, I have to get the ban lifted anyway though, else I'll be banned for evading.00:22
ompaulwrong attitude00:23
ompaulor right attitude00:23
ompaulmaybe00:23
ompaulI give up, please don't e3ngage me00:23
KOJVompaul, it's the wrong attitude to ask for my ban to be lifted before I rejoin the channel??  :-o00:23
PriceChildKOJV: why did you want to ping the channel?00:23
KOJVPriceChild, because there was no answer, I needed to see if I was caught in a bad lag.00:23
ompaulin conversation00:23
PriceChildKOJV: So you decided the best way to do that was ping 1000 people at once?00:24
KOJVPriceChild, I didn't realize there were so many users in the channel.00:24
ompaulPriceChild, I have to crash catch you later00:25
PriceChildKOJV: I think you should be much more careful with commands which you don't understand when connected to large networks.00:25
PriceChildompaul: have fun00:25
ompaulPriceChild, cheers00:25
nickrudPriceChild, thanks for the email :)00:25
KOJVPriceChild, well, I'm usually on large networks but seldomly in such huge channels. Again, I'm sorry and it won't happen again.00:26
nickrudI pity the council, having to choose only 2 of those 400:26
PriceChildnickrud: we don't choose00:26
nickrudPriceChild, cc I meant00:26
PriceChildnickrud: they don't really choose either00:26
nickrud? Thought they did, but whomever is going to have some real juggling on their hands00:27
PriceChildnickrud: the ircc and cc can both take candidates off the list, and technically the cc could nominate someone outright, but they will probably do a vote and whoever wins gets the seats00:27
PriceChildKOJV: one mo00:28
KOJVompaul, btw, why not engage you? Since you were the one to set the ban....00:28
PriceChildKOJV: he's had to leave00:28
KOJVPriceChild, okay.00:28
PriceChild@btlogin00:28
PiciKOJV: our channel bots are the one who set the ban actually, ompaul just removed you from the channel.00:28
PiciHrm.. gmail seems to be doing weird things with the link to my wiki... /me checks in another browser00:28
KOJVPici, okay, this "remove" feature, how does it work? Does other networks have it?00:28
PiciKOJV: Many just use a standard kick, freenode's ircd is a bit different though00:29
* KOJV has never been removed before... only kicked.00:29
KOJVPici, ok.00:29
PriceChildKOJV: operators can force users to part effectively, rather than kick them. It is preferable for several reasons, more help about it can be found in #freenode.00:29
KOJVPriceChild, okay, thanks.00:30
KOJVPriceChild, will you remove the ban though?00:30
PriceChildKOJV: as a formality, could you just read the guidelines for #ubuntu please, then I'll remove the ban00:30
PriceChild!guidelines00:30
ubottuThe guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines00:30
KOJVPriceChild, sure thing.00:31
KOJVPriceChild, okay, done.00:33
PriceChildKOJV: you're free to join #ubuntu.00:33
KOJVThank you PriceChild.00:35
PiciPriceChild: I always thought of you as Joseph, not Joe... /me needs to fix his brain or something now.00:39
PriceChildPici: I go by many names.00:39
PiciI go as Ben or Benjamin, but never Benji.00:40
PriceChildSome call me... Shatoon, bringer of corn.00:40
PiciWell... thats just odd.00:41
PiciAnyway, food time.00:41
PriceChildOthers call me Mickey Nine, the dream weaver.00:41
elkbuntuif idimmu returns and i'm not here, tell him i saw his apology in scrollback and thanked him00:52
ompaulplease note that I left a certain ip from in.comcast07:21

Myrttiho -hum09:24
MyrttiPriceChild: ping09:29
* Myrtti sighs09:30
* Myrtti curses09:30
MyrttiI'll go and have a bath before I strangle someone over ethernet.09:31
Myrttior make a long-distance phone call and cry my eyes out.09:32
Garywhats up Myrtti :'(09:42
Myrttilets just say although IRC is a big part of my life, I still never thought IRC should be more important than not fainting with stress induced high blood pressure.09:43
Garypoint to point punching over ethernet so needs to be invented09:43
Myrttisorry folks.09:43
Myrttisomehow it strikes me also odd that Pricey signs his emails with "Joe". somehow I've always felt he's too young to be "Joe"09:45
bazhangMyrtti, IRC is so not worth that level of stress.09:45
Garymaybe it should be master Joe09:45
naliothGary: it's FSOIP you need to be working on09:46
MyrttiIt's not IRC that makes my blood pressure high09:46
bazhangcant be helping though09:46
Garyfs?09:46
Myrttiwell that's sort of the point09:46
MyrttiFace Stab09:46
Garyahhh09:46
bazhangover ip haha09:46
bazhangI started taking garlic daily about a year ago and significantly reduced my BP09:47
GaryMyrtti: if it is that bad, take a short break?09:47
Myrttifor my own selfesteem and mental health I have to think IRC is a stress factor that I can cut out of my life09:47
Gary:'(09:47
Myrttiso if I /part irc channels, it's usually a sign I've got more acute and stressful things going on09:47
bazhangor just completely clean out the problem elements in -ot09:48
Myrttiie. work, relationships, health09:48
naliothwhere are your furry animals, Myrtti ?09:48
bazhangfor a while at least.09:48
Myrttibut anyway...09:48
* Myrtti sighs at her w.u.c -page09:48
MyrttiI need a warm an lovely papaya smelling bath.09:48
* elkbuntu cuddles Myrtti09:48
bazhangthere are even tablets that are odorless (ie garlic)09:49
Myrttibazhang: omega fatty acids and vitamin D for me09:49
* Myrtti pops her vegan capsules09:49
Myrttiridiculously more expensive than non-vegan ones, but they make me happy09:49
Myrttinalioth: fighting in their cage09:50
GaryMyrtti: furry animals, what make and model?09:50
Myrttihttp://www.flickr.com/photos/myrtti/2729982644/ guinea pigs09:51
Garyawww09:53
naliothi recently got a cat, and it thinks that love bites and appreciative flesh clawings are acceptable forms of affection09:53
Garysure are09:54
Garyand bringing home slightly dead wildlife, as presents09:55
naliothnah, it never goes outside ( probably why it bites and claws me at random moments )09:55
Garymaybe it thinks it's a tiger09:56
naliothand i can't repeat its name here ( or in proper company )09:56
Myrttinalioth: most of the time a cat claws you when it's in your lap, it reminisces being a kitten and suckling to a teat. pushing your thig resembles trying to push more milk to it's mouth.09:56
nalioththe cat doesn't like laps.  it's just insane.09:56
Myrttipink moka pot coffee and french fries!09:57
elkbuntunalioth, did you get a cat, or did the cat get a human?09:57
naliothit was palmed off on me instead of going to the pound, elkbuntu09:57
elkbuntuaha09:57
naliothno, i'm not a cat person09:58
elkbuntui didnt pick you as one09:58
elkbuntumind you, the cat probably has too09:58
elkbuntuhence the claws and teeth09:59
naliothbut so long as it stays out of my way (and doesn't bite or claw too much) we'll get along just fine09:59
MyrttiI'm sure it will09:59
Myrtticats are like that09:59
naliothwell, off to have another go at old insomnia ( it's 4:00am here )10:01
* Myrtti sighs again and tries to decide what to do10:02
GaryMyrtti: go out for walkies10:04
Myrttiperhaps after breakfast and that bath10:09
Myrttimoar coffee?10:25
Garyplease10:28
* Myrtti pours10:29
Garyyay coffee10:32
=== SWAT__ is now known as SWAT
=== thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak
Myrttihaving a bath with my blood pressure wasn't a good idea11:42
* elkbuntu huggles Myrtti11:43
MyrttiI think I'll go lie down on the floor. At least I can't drop any lower from there.11:45
elkbuntu:(11:46
elkbuntufeeling all droopy and sleepy now?11:47
ikoniago sleep then11:47
MyrttiDroopy yeah, sleepy no11:48
elkbuntuaww11:48

MyrttiThanks11:51
PriceChildMyrtti: for when you get back, PONG!!!12:01
PriceChilduuuu amarok2 is nice12:12
ikoniaPriceChild: anything specific stands out ?12:13
PriceChildwell i'm using it under gnome and it feels shiny12:13
PriceChildits also a lot less cluttered, lots less options12:15
PriceChildwhere are my micde12:16
PriceChildmice12:16
ikoniaI may give it a go12:16
PriceChildmakes me tempted to just switch to kde4.112:18
PriceChildjust to make it look even shinier12:18
elkbuntuheh12:19
ikoniakde is never that shiny that it's worth it12:23
elkbuntuikonia, it's worth a vm12:24
elkbuntuwhen i get my vm setup going12:24
PriceChildvm setup? you mean you don't just randomly put virtualbox ones all over the place?12:24
ikoniaelkbuntu: maybe......12:25
elkbuntuikonia, e17 is worth a vm too... but im not going to run a system with it12:25
ikoniaahh E17 is old news, never worth effort12:25
elkbuntuwell, offtopic is decidedly sane at the moment12:28
ikoniagood12:28
elkbuntunow, if only debian would install on this box12:28
elkbuntumaybe unplugging the usb mouse wasnt such a smart idea12:29
elkbuntuonce i get this box up to monitor the network, i can get this pc up with vmware or some such12:31
elkbuntuthis stupid ralink chip needs to diaf too12:34
PriceChildI liked my ralink chips, which one have you got12:35
MyrttiI want to stomp my atheros to pieces12:37
MyrttiI've compiled madwifi-hal so many times yesterday I'm planning to install Ibex on my laptop12:37
PriceChildI also like the atheros that I'm using atm. You're both mad.12:38
elkbuntuPriceChild, whatever one is inside a DWL-G122 B112:38
Myrttii've got AR242*12:38
Myrttiit sucks.12:38
Myrttihttp://madwifi.org/ticket/1192 does nothing for me12:38
elkbuntuPriceChild, 2500 i believe12:38
PriceChildelkbuntu: that's a nice old one that works nicely?12:39
PriceChildinstall module-assistant, and install the driver for it there12:39
elkbuntuPriceChild, sure, i can get debian and hardy to see the device... just not associate12:39
elkbuntuPriceChild, funnily enough, i need to get on the network to do that12:39
PriceChildpfft no you don't12:39
PriceChildjust copy packages onto a usb pen12:40
elkbuntuPriceChild, deps?12:40
PriceChildthere's only half a dozen12:40
PriceChilduse packages.ubuntu to work out deps, and its pretty obvious which ones aren't installed by default12:40
PriceChildwell i guess its not pretty obvious12:40
elkbuntui want debian on the box12:40
Myrttiwoo, I found spray-on leave-in conditioner \o/12:40
elkbuntuso packages.debian instead12:40
PriceChildno idea about that then12:40
elkbuntuPriceChild, as i said. it recognises, and can see access points... just not be nice enough to attach12:41
Myrttiyeah12:43
Myrttithe latest madwifi with my ar242* does see the access points and can connect to the unencrypted ones, but not wpa2?12:43
Myrttiit sucks badly12:43
elkbuntuMyrtti, this one wont even touch unencrypted atm12:44
PriceChildI have an ar2413 <312:44
* Myrtti shows her tongue to PriceChild 12:44
elkbuntui did actually get it on once... but it could only see in the lan, but not google... then i broke that12:44
elkbuntuso reinstalling debian yet again12:44
elkbuntui suspect that was when i tried wep12:45
MyrttiI'm on fail train12:46
MyrttiI've lost my best hair brush12:46
elkbuntuaww12:46
PriceChildelkbuntu: have you disabled all encryption on the ap and started off trying to associate to that?12:47
elkbuntuPriceChild, yes12:47
elkbuntuabout to do it again, since i try not to leave it in said state12:48
* elkbuntu dares the install to die again12:55
Myrttithere's something wrong with my xubuntu-ibex-alternate-amd64 torrend12:55
Myrttitorrent12:55

Myrttipartly yes13:08
elkbuntuooooh13:08

Myrttialso my latest and first recruitment to Nomovok13:09

Myrtticomments can be /msg Wellark13:10

MyrttiI tried that on hardy13:10

elkbuntuPriceChild, wanna know something stupid?13:32
PriceChildsure13:33
elkbuntui only downloaded the first debian cd, right, because i only want a simple install.13:33
elkbuntueverything including module-assistant was on there13:33
elkbuntuexcept: html2text and debhelper13:33
elkbuntui cant understand why neither are on that disk13:33
elkbuntuif they're like so important for installing a freaking kernel module13:34
elkbuntuand this still doesnt work :(13:41
elkbuntuin fact, it changed absolutely nothing13:41
* elkbuntu tries a reboot13:42
elkbuntuIenorand, can we help?13:51
IenorandHi, I'm having trouble joining #ubuntu from #ubuntu-proxy, it says I have access and should try to join but I just get back to #*u-proxy13:52

ompaul_Pici, the problem is the running battles that you will have if you try to do the logical thing with that software23:06
ompaul_you will be trolled23:06
ompaul_the removal should cause exactly the response needed23:06
PiciI respectfully disagree.  We should be informing people, not punishing them when they ask about using that.23:07
ompaul_Pici, who wrote the factoid?23:08
* ompaul_ is a bit clumsy 23:08
Piciompaul_: see above23:08
Myrttisince when has stupidity been bannable offence? and I mean plain stupidity, not stubborness as it usually is the case with troublemakers23:08
ompaul_ack23:08
ompaul_ok so then make it a mute23:09
ompaul_and we chat with them23:09
ompaul_as in no remove, however it will be implied23:09
PriceChildI don't think factoids should be the place for threats/operator guidelines.23:09

* ompaul_ sees that as wrong but anyways23:18
PiciWhy?23:19
* Myrtti gives boys a cookie23:19
Myrttiyou too, ompaul23:19
* ompaul_ munches23:19
PiciMyrtti: ty :)23:19
ompaul_ta23:19
ompaul_Pici, the guy no longer works for canonical23:19
PiciSo we can't link to the analysis that he made of Automatix?23:19
Myrttiompaul_: I don't see it as a problem23:19
MyrttiI don't understand why it would be a problem23:20
Myrttihe made the analysis before starting to work for RH23:20
ompaul_I know that23:20
MyrttiI don't mind people referencing to my work I've done on COSS23:20
MyrttiI'm fairly sure that if he'd see referencing to that as a problem, he would've taken the entry down23:21
Myrttiof course, someone could ask23:21
ompaul_now then, I am almost happy ;-)23:21
Myrttiompaul_: since you are so worried, why don't *you* ask him :-P23:22
* Myrtti hides23:22
ompaul_I am not worried, I considered it bad form to assume23:22
ompaul_that was all23:23
ompaul_he is part of the community, he did that job as part of his day to day work - he may feel the need to move on and it might be a legacy thing he no longer wants to be hanging around, automatix is dead so why keep its memory alive with that23:24
* ompaul_ chooses to shut up now 23:25
PiciIf we don't remember the past, we are doomed to repeat it.,23:25
ompaul_Pici, now if I was to reply to that I would have to say "happy trolldom with the gentle factoid", we had this with automatix it was a clock cycle consumer23:26
ompaul_but that was only if I was to reply23:26
ompaul_so given I didn't ;-)23:26
ompaul_ /nick angry_clueless_op23:28
ompaul_Pici, which is by the way me agreeing with, "if we don't remember the past"23:32
ompaul_automatix took so much energy it was sad23:32
ompaul_and given who is involved, we really have to think the same energy is required to deal with them again23:33
ompaul_so therein lies my "logic" for supporting the initial factoid23:34
Myrttiompaul_: if the damned thing had had the decency to stay dead and buried, I'd agree with you23:34
Myrttibut since it's risen from the ashes like the black crow of doom...23:34
ompaul_Myrtti, and the gentle factoid will only encourage people to push barriers23:34
Myrttiit still not be encouraged or supported23:35
ompaul_the first one is plain and simple - if you say this you are being a .... -therefore we will sanction you23:35
Myrttiompaul_: we never had that kind of factoid for automatix23:35
Myrttiwhy should we have one now for ultamatix?23:35
Myrttiwe all and many others sure made it clear automatix wasn't supported in #ubuntu23:36
ompaul_to prevent the impact that the softly softly approach that automatix encouraged23:36
ompaul_we had running battles for a while23:36
ompaul_yes indeed folks the hazy summer of 06 and the battles royal for channel control23:37
ompaul_being called Seveas's lackeys ;-)23:37
ompaul_actually it was 0523:38
ompaul_but whatever23:38
naliothi don't think we should treat it like an exploit, but it is close23:40
ompaul_nalioth, broken boxes are not exploited?23:41
ompaul_that sounds like a company I know of where if no data is lost then it is not an outage ;-)23:41
ompaul_and you know some kinds of data loss are not data loss23:41
ompaul_:)23:41
ompaul_I know of such a company23:41
ompaul_and it is not where I work23:41
naliothompaul_: well, if i treated it like an exploit, i'd have to have a few more cars for the train23:42
ubottuIn #ubuntuforums, nathangrubb said: !srcopq is <reply> starts resolution center thread on p_quarles23:42
ompaul_well done nathan distracting me like that ;-)23:42
ompaul_so we can agree to disagree on that one item23:50
