maxbaldwinWould having a google function for ubottu be a good idea?21:26
maxbaldwinI've seen it in other bots, and if ubottu couldn't provide help with a factoid, he could google it...?21:27
maxbaldwinThere's already a !google, but It could be replaced21:29
Flannelmaxbaldwin: It would be a bad idea, way too much noise21:29
Flannelmaxbaldwin: Also, all of the factoids have been checked out, etc, we know they're giving good information.  With google, that wouldn't be the case.21:29
Picimaxbaldwin: What wrong with that person actually opening up a browser and using goole then?21:29
maxbaldwinSeems that people go to irc, then google.21:30
maxbaldwinBut yeah, it probably would create more trouble than it's worth.21:30
PriceChilda bot can only send so much to a channel without flooding21:41
PriceChildand google search results are quite large21:41
maxbaldwinhrm, the one I've seen just sends the first result's link.21:42
PriceChildi can also see that being abused21:42
maxbaldwinWell, yeah.21:45
PriceChildstarscalling in -kde4.... for a minute i thought he was saying that in -devel and was a little scared22:03
Flannelmaxbaldwin: anything else we can help you with?22:03
jussi01maxbaldwin: we have thought about that before, and supybot has a plugin for it, just we have chosen not to implement it22:04
maxbaldwinFlannel: Nope, I'm good.22:18
maxbaldwinlater.22:18
FlannelWhy are bots not echoing here?22:33
PriceChildFlannel: not echoing what? ops calls?22:34
FlannelPriceChild: yeah22:34
PriceChildI don't see any bans or mutes in place.22:36
naliothFlannel: ubot3 doesn't echo anything in here except requests for factoids and is not in #ubuntu or #kubuntu to echo !ops calls from those places22:37
Flannelnalioth: Floodbots usually echo ops calls here.... hmmm, no floodbots here.22:38
FlannelOr is it ubotu who does? I don't remember22:38
PiciFlannel: Its ubottu22:38
FlannelEither way, it's not happening currently.22:38
PiciI'm pretty sure we mentioned this the other day22:38
FlannelPici: I know I mentioned it the other day, but did I miss some announcement?22:39
FlannelHow its not happening anymore or something?22:39
PiciFlannel: I think jussi01 was looking into it... or I'm making this up.22:40
Picior stid22:40
Picistdin, rather22:40
Flanneleither way, they're both pinged now, so hopefully it'll get sorted.22:41
jussi01yeah, I forgot to look, looking now, if I could just remember the variable name...22:42
jussi01curous22:44
jussi01is it only in -ops monitor? or other places also?22:46
jussi01this is quite weird22:47
Flanneljussi01: #ubuntu as well22:49
Flanneljussi01: Or at least, I've noticed the lack of it happeniing in -monitor and #u22:49
jussi01yeah22:49
Q-BotSo I screwed up when I tried to register this account, and sent it to the wrong email23:22
