| PriceChild | szymon_g: Give it a short while then ask X3N about it. | 00:54 |
| szymon_g | ok, but i dont see him here :/. anyway- i will try to catch him on the morning, i've to go to sleep | 00:55 |
| PriceChild | szymon_g: use /query | 00:55 |
| jrib | !trash =~ s/changed in/changed since/ | 01:17 |
| ubottu | I'll remember that jrib | 01:17 |
| jrib | !trash | 01:17 |
| ubottu | The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 01:17 |
| ubottu | ivantis called the ops in #ubuntu () | 01:21 |
| jrib | I'm confused | 01:23 |
| ivantis | so | 01:24 |
| Pici | ivantis: Can you rephrase what you are asking, we're a little confused. I think I know what you're asking, but I'm not sure. | 01:24 |
| ivantis | how do i make a bot an official one for ubuntu? | 01:24 |
| ivantis | you need to approve it? | 01:24 |
| Pici | ivantis: A bot for #ubuntu ? | 01:25 |
| ivantis | yeah | 01:25 |
| Pici | We currently do not have any plans for adding new bots to the channel. | 01:26 |
| PriceChild | ivantis: why do we want one of your bots? What does it do? | 01:27 |
| ivantis | stuff | 01:27 |
| Pici | ubottu serves as our factoid bot and the floodbots control floods and whatnot. Unless we're talking about something innovative that we might need. | 01:28 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:28 |
| ivantis | #perlbot | 01:28 |
| jrib | heh | 01:28 |
| ivantis | its name is perlbot2 | 01:28 |
| Flannel | ivantis: And what does it do? | 01:28 |
| ivantis | i wrote it myself in perl | 01:28 |
| ivantis | it has bot-aliases | 01:28 |
| ivantis | fetch command | 01:28 |
| ivantis | echo command | 01:28 |
| PriceChild | "Why?" | 01:28 |
| ivantis | im currently working on making it accept DCCs for paste-bin-ing | 01:29 |
| nalioth | ivantis: how will it help folks in #ubuntu and is it easy to use? | 01:29 |
| ivantis | easy enough | 01:29 |
| Flannel | ivantis: and the former? | 01:29 |
| nalioth | ivantis: the tools must be as simple as possible | 01:29 |
| ivantis | join #perlbot | 01:29 |
| ivantis | to test it | 01:29 |
| Flannel | ivantis: A simple explanation would be nice | 01:30 |
| ivantis | uh | 01:30 |
| ivantis | well, i guess its similar to supybot | 01:30 |
| ivantis | i designed it after that | 01:30 |
| jrib | ivantis: what feature does it have that will help users in #ubuntu? | 01:31 |
| Seeker` | why is it better than ubottu? | 01:31 |
| ivantis | fetch | 01:31 |
| jrib | what is fetch? | 01:31 |
| ivantis | better than ubottu? | 01:31 |
| ivantis | lets not get complex here | 01:31 |
| ivantis | fetch = grab web pages | 01:31 |
| jrib | what does grabbing web pages on irc mean? | 01:32 |
| ivantis | join #perlbot | 01:32 |
| ivantis | im not good at explainations | 01:32 |

| Flannel | Whats the command to list bans on the server itself? | 03:59 |
| Flannel | tea4all: try #ubuntu now | 04:07 |
| tea4all | Typed in "#ubuntu" and ended up here | 04:07 |
| tea4all | will try again | 04:07 |
| Flannel | tea4all: right, someone on your host was forwarded here. | 04:07 |

| nekostar | ffs | 08:42 |
| nekostar | bazhang you really are heavy handed | 08:42 |
| nekostar | this is exactly why so many of us hate the croud that is on this shiz | 08:42 |
| Flannel | nekostar: You were being extremely rude | 08:43 |
| nekostar | ive not asked you to pm me either. | 08:43 |
| nekostar | Flannel so were yall. | 08:43 |
| bazhang | nekostar, you have no need to reply so strongly to everyone that way (at least three people) | 08:43 |
| jussi01 | !stfu | nekostar | 08:43 |
| ubottu | nekostar: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 08:43 |
| Flannel | nekostar: How was I being rude to you? | 08:43 |
| nekostar | lmfao | 08:43 |
| nekostar | Flannel come on - yall - most general statement ever | 08:43 |
| nekostar | lets see | 08:43 |
| jussi01 | nekostar: that goes for all ubuntu channels | 08:43 |
| Flannel | nekostar: Alright, how were "we" being rude to you? | 08:43 |
| nekostar | hold on | 08:43 |
| nekostar | meh anyway | 08:44 |
| nekostar | it doesnt matter | 08:44 |
| nekostar | if yall are serious about not using acronyms then we shouldnt call it gnu/linux anymore should we | 08:44 |
| Flannel | nekostar: You're right, it doesn't. Even if someone is rude to you, you shouldn't be rude back. And you certainly shouldn't toss out the guidelines. | 08:44 |
| nekostar | now i'm sure that seems quite ridiculous as it should. | 08:44 |
| jussi01 | nekostar: acronyms are fine, just not ones like those mentioned | 08:44 |
| nekostar | oh no Flannel i will toss em out. | 08:45 |
| nekostar | jussi01 they are understood widely, and i will never stop using them till i feel they cannot be used to communicate. | 08:45 |
| bazhang | nekostar, you were muted only so we could have a chat. | 08:45 |
| nekostar | and as i spend a lot of my free time helping people out | 08:45 |
| Flannel | nekostar: then you might as well run along. You're certainly not going to be unbanned with that attitude. | 08:45 |
| nekostar | bazhang heavy handed | 08:45 |
| bazhang | that was the purpose of the PM. | 08:45 |
| nekostar | i dont care bazhang you didnt ask to pm | 08:45 |
| nekostar | which makes you as rude as anyone else | 08:45 |
| Flannel | nekostar: When ops do it, it's to maintain your privacy. | 08:46 |
| Flannel | nekostar: Either that, or we scold you publicall, which doesn't help anything. | 08:46 |
| nekostar | shush for a bit plz | 08:46 |
| nekostar | ffs | 08:46 |
| bazhang | nekostar, you were disrupting the channel with your aggression | 08:46 |
| nekostar | and since we dont use acronyms you can ust ignore that | 08:47 |
| nekostar | <nekostar> no what are you using | 08:47 |

| Flannel | nekostar: We're all in #ubuntu, we can see the conversation. | 08:48 |
| nekostar | o jeez | 08:48 |
| jussi01 | nekostar: as I said... acronyms are fine, just not ones like those mentioned | 08:48 |
| nekostar | i forget how many lines to a flood out | 08:48 |
| nekostar | yeah | 08:48 |
| nekostar | i was thinking i could just reference start and end sections | 08:48 |
| nekostar | lol | 08:48 |
| nekostar | so up | 08:48 |
| nekostar | starting where i didnt die | 08:48 |
| nekostar | <nekostar> <nekostar> no what are you using | 08:48 |
| nekostar | from there | 08:48 |
| nekostar | <favro> !who | nekostar | 08:49 |
| nekostar | <ubottu> nekostar: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 08:49 |
| nekostar | we get to there | 08:49 |
| nekostar | stupid sod doesnt understand basic concept of continuity | 08:49 |
| nekostar | <nekostar> favro if you never got the memo, around a decade ago it was decided that irc should follow the same guidelines as books in that as you speak if you do not continue to designate a person per line, then its automagically routed to the last known good destination [person who you were initially speaking to] which means at this point BUTT OUT thanx | 08:49 |
| nekostar | read to there | 08:49 |
| Flannel | nekostar: That's not how IRC works. | 08:49 |
| bazhang | nekostar, you were asked not to use the enter key so much. | 08:50 |
| nekostar | where i kindly without being too much of a dick point out using this as a sort of metaphore | 08:50 |
| nekostar | bazhang i dont really care what you ask there. | 08:50 |
| Flannel | nekostar: Besides the fact that you *do* in fact need to address the person each time, you *shouldnt* be using more than one line to address a person at a time to begin with. | 08:50 |
| nekostar | i dont do like | 08:50 |
| nekostar | lol | 08:50 |
| nekostar | omg | 08:50 |
| bazhang | to which you gave a !guidelines to the person requesting it. | 08:50 |
| nekostar | no wai | 08:50 |
| nekostar | ~_~ | 08:50 |
| nekostar | ffs | 08:50 |
| nekostar | thats really | 08:50 |
| nekostar | orly | 08:50 |
| nekostar | yarly | 08:50 |
| bazhang | ok | 08:50 |
| nekostar | sorry there but point is | 08:50 |
| nekostar | i might type short bits | 08:50 |
| bazhang | the mute has been changed to a ban. | 08:50 |
| nekostar | but those are my thoughts and that's how i talk | 08:50 |
| nekostar | whatever | 08:50 |
| nekostar | so i type how i talk, and well | 08:50 |
| nekostar | yeah | 08:51 |
| Flannel | nekostar: #ubuntu has 1500 people. You need to talk one line at a time, not one clause at a time. | 08:51 |
| nekostar | i've been doing it that way in that channel for longer than youve been on freenode | 08:51 |
| nekostar | Flannel i understand that this is a bit overwhelming for you | 08:51 |
| nekostar | and some of the others apparently | 08:51 |
| nekostar | and apparently the worst we feared has happened | 08:51 |
| Flannel | nekostar: Goodbye nekostar. Nice talking to you. You should try back in a week or two. Maybe you'll be able to convince us to lift the ban then. | 08:52 |
| nekostar | we're left with a bunch [not all but it's really starting to look more and more like the active majority] of heavy handed idiots with egos | 08:52 |
| Flannel | nekostar: Be sure to read the channel guidelines, and the code of conduct in the meantime. | 08:52 |
| nekostar | dont u understand you serve the same people i do? | 08:52 |
| nekostar | the newer perhaps less experienced users? | 08:52 |
| nekostar | if you have forgotten this already you should just go install windows or something and leave irc completely. | 08:52 |
| nekostar | do you even understand what i mean ? | 08:53 |
| bazhang | nekostar, your "style" is too disruptive. | 08:53 |
| nekostar | lets open this up to whoever butespecially Flannel and bazhang | 08:53 |
| nekostar | bazhang my style gets ppl's boxes fixed that other ppl fuck off | 08:53 |
| nekostar | my style lands me a job at a DC | 08:53 |
| bazhang | no need for that language nekostar | 08:53 |
| Flannel | nekostar: And that statement epitomizes the reason youre banned. | 08:53 |
| * nekostar shrugs | 08:53 | |
| nekostar | oh thats just wonderful lol | 08:54 |
| nekostar | so your saying that in a non `public` shall we say [since its limited tho not truely private] you still cant handle plain english? | 08:54 |
| nekostar | honestly now, you should feel good i'm giving you this much of my time. | 08:55 |
| nekostar | normally i would just evade | 08:55 |
| nekostar | ;) | 08:55 |
| nekostar | and dont bother i'm set up - and can change each class of ip | 08:55 |
| Flannel | nekostar: You're not making a coherent argument anymore nekostar. I strongly suggest you take some time off to cool down, and come back to discuss this in a week or so. | 08:55 |
| nekostar | >:P | 08:55 |
| nekostar | no Flannel | 08:55 |
| bazhang | ban evasion is not a wise choice nekostar | 08:55 |
| nekostar | yall are hurting new users, and quite frankly i'm not willing to let go of it | 08:55 |
| nekostar | bazhang trust me ask the best | 08:56 |
| nekostar | you cant stop me nor find me unless i prefer it that way | 08:56 |
| nekostar | lol | 08:56 |
| Flannel | nekostar: You're welcome to appeal to the IRC council. | 08:56 |
| nekostar | no Flannel | 08:56 |
| nekostar | i'll just evade. | 08:56 |
| nekostar | if i had been asked nicely | 08:56 |
| nekostar | instead of someone flagging the bot because they know some stupid trigger | 08:56 |
| jussi01 | nekostar: which will likely earn you a network wide ban... | 08:57 |
| nekostar | and quite frankly trying to rub something in my face that i just slammed back at the original person | 08:57 |
| nekostar | jussi01 no not really ^^ | 08:57 |
| nekostar | so anyway | 08:57 |
| nekostar | back to the breakdown of the ops getting heavy handed | 08:57 |
| ikonia | this is going no where - lets drop it | 08:58 |
| nekostar | <favro> nekostar: I don't care | 08:58 |
| nekostar | favro's well thought out reply you can see | 08:58 |
| nekostar | note that my reply to him originally there i actually took the time to think about | 08:58 |
| nekostar | and type | 08:58 |
| ikonia | nekostar: it doesn't matter | 08:58 |
| nekostar | type quite a bit as a matter of fact. | 08:58 |
| nekostar | it matters ^^ | 08:58 |
| nekostar | i'm giving you the chance to do the right thing ;) | 08:58 |
| ikonia | nekostar: no-one else other than your behaviour was open for discussion | 08:58 |
| ikonia | lets drop this | 08:58 |
| nekostar | no | 08:59 |
| nekostar | <nekostar> XxLordMaiestasxX ok very good. this means your almost certainly using gnome, and your trying to run a kde application where it doesnt really belong. on top left click applications > accessories > terminal | 08:59 |
| nekostar | see there? | 08:59 |
| ikonia | can someone mute / remove this guy please | 08:59 |
| nekostar | thats me bravely continuing to help the poor sod | 08:59 |
| nekostar | ikonia thats just lame | 08:59 |
| bazhang | he is banned in #ubuntu | 08:59 |
| nekostar | <bazhang> !attitude | nekostar | 08:59 |
| nekostar | <ubottu> nekostar: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 08:59 |
| ikonia | bazhang: in here, as he's just rambling on | 08:59 |
| Flannel | jussi01, mind doing the honors? | 08:59 |
| nekostar | and that brings us to our current critique of bazhang here. | 08:59 |
| bazhang | ikonia, still in #kubuntu however | 08:59 |
| nekostar | bazhang ive not done anything there | 09:00 |
| nekostar | ^^ | 09:00 |
| nekostar | where were we. | 09:00 |
| ikonia | nekostar: stop now. Please | 09:00 |
| nekostar | right so for basically trying to continue to help the guy, bazhang there gives me a stiff warning. | 09:00 |
| nekostar | see here's the funny bit though. | 09:00 |
| bazhang | nekostar, please part now. come back in a week or two | 09:00 |
| ikonia | nekostar: your approach to the guy - not trying to help was the problem | 09:00 |
| nekostar | bazhang isn't actually at that point helping anyone | 09:00 |
| nekostar | i am. | 09:00 |
| ikonia | nekostar: your not seeing that so - lets drop it | 09:00 |
| nekostar | so bazhang here is logically when you look at it beating on me for helping someone looking for it. | 09:01 |
| nekostar | dragging me down for donating my time | 09:01 |
| jussi01 | nekostar: please come back in a few days when you have calmed down! | 09:01 |
| ikonia | thank you | 09:01 |
| bazhang | nekostar, you were being overly aggressive. | 09:01 |
| bazhang | oops | 09:01 |
| * jussi01 goes to watch #kubuntu | 09:01 | |
| Flannel | Watch for backlash in #k | 09:01 |
| Flannel | yeah | 09:01 |
| ikonia | ha ha, I was just about to say that | 09:01 |
| jussi01 | remind me how to fetch a memo? | 09:02 |
| jussi01 | [11:01:54] <MemoServ:MemoServ> You have a new memo from starscalling (nick: nekostar). | 09:02 |
| Flannel | jussi01: /msg memoserv help ;) | 09:02 |
| Flannel | /mgs memoserv read 0, likely | 09:02 |
| jussi01 | Flannel: let me be lazy! :P | 09:02 |
| Flannel | jussi01: see attached ;) | 09:03 |
| jussi01 | lovely, threatening me :/ | 09:04 |
| jussi01 | [11:03:39] <MemoServ:MemoServ> Memo 1 - Sent by starscalling, Nov 02 09:01:53 2008 | 09:04 |
| jussi01 | [11:03:39] <MemoServ:MemoServ> ------------------------------------------ | 09:04 |
| jussi01 | [11:03:39] <MemoServ:MemoServ> there will be consequences | 09:04 |
| Flannel | Ah. Definate Ubuntu community material right there! | 09:04 |
| ikonia | kudos to him for not going off in #kubuntu though | 09:04 |
| bazhang | wow | 09:04 |
| jussi01 | so is that worth a staff call? is a threat a freenode thing? | 09:04 |
| jussi01 | ikonia: yet... | 09:05 |
| bazhang | jussi01, yes | 09:05 |
| ikonia | I think it's more a case of "I'll tell the others on you" | 09:05 |
| ikonia | I didn't take that as a "threat" | 09:05 |
| bazhang | jussi01, and the "I'll evade" | 09:05 |
| Flannel | jussi01: If it becomes an actual threat, notify the staff. So if he threatens others (becomes a regular thing, crosses a threshold, whatever) action can be taken | 09:05 |
| jussi01 | here comes #k | 09:06 |
| bazhang | he is talking about bans in #kubuntu | 09:06 |
| jussi01 | bazhang: Im on it | 09:06 |
| Flannel | do the regular thing. first mention he's offtopic, yadda ydda. independant channels and all that. | 09:06 |
| bazhang | jussi01, and favro is there too | 09:06 |
| jussi01 | I msg'd favro with: Please dont feed the troll! | 09:07 |
| jussi01 | @mark nekostar [11:03:39] <MemoServ:MemoServ> there will be consequences | 09:09 |
| ubottu | The operation succeeded. | 09:09 |
| jussi01 | oops | 09:32 |
| Flannel | definately don't remove that ban on the jussi01 fellow. | 09:32 |
| Flannel | Can't trust him. | 09:32 |
| bazhang | haha | 09:32 |
| jussi01 | hehe | 09:33 |
| ikonia | 09:02 < nekostar> wow | 09:59 |
| ikonia | 09:02 < nekostar> i'm sorry | 09:59 |
| ikonia | 09:02 < nekostar> but i just fucking got to vent. | 09:59 |
| ikonia | 09:02 < nekostar> anyone got a good suggestion for a distro besides ubuntu? | 09:59 |
| ikonia | 09:03 < nekostar> ever since they started that fucking irc council every single stupid god damn one of them seem to think their some sort of demigods | 09:59 |
| ikonia | 09:03 < nekostar> and god damn it hardly any of them even know wtf their doing with linux much less fucking irc | 09:59 |
| ikonia | 09:03 < nekostar> </rant> | 10:00 |
| elkbuntu | o.O | 10:00 |
| elkbuntu | where? | 10:00 |
| ikonia | ##linux | 10:00 |
| ikonia | he was a bit of a pain in #ubuntu earlier, then started ranting in ##linux (only just noticed) he got ignored though | 10:01 |
| elkbuntu | heh, who actually banned him in #ubuntu? or is he ranting because nobody heeded his demand for immediate customer slavery? | 10:02 |
| ikonia | bazhang did, and it was because he was rude/agressive | 10:02 |
| ikonia | "I help loads of people, you all know nothing, so I can do what I want" etc | 10:02 |
| elkbuntu | bazhang, wow, you're on the council now? :Þ | 10:02 |
| bazhang | elkbuntu, sweeet! :) | 10:03 |

| Flannel | elkbuntu: You can scroll up and read it. He was just as beliggerent here as in #u, if not moreso. | 10:04 |
| Flannel | He even quoted himself from #u, so you don't have to switch back and forth. A bit odd, the quotes certainly didn't help his case. | 10:05 |
| ikonia | nice that he got ignored in ##linux though | 10:06 |
| elkbuntu | Flannel, the really fun trolls always do that | 10:06 |
| Flannel | This guy wasn | 10:07 |
| Flannel | wasn't trolling. He actually thought he was justified | 10:07 |
| elkbuntu | the *other* meaning of 'fun', dear | 10:07 |
| elkbuntu | that is still trolling. | 10:07 |
| Flannel | eh, that's debatable. Certainly not productive, but I dont think I'd call it trolling | 10:08 |
| elkbuntu | trolling has many guises | 10:09 |
| elkbuntu | i'm trying to find that forums post with the classifications of different types of trolls | 10:21 |

| jussi01 | elkbuntu: excellent. I had to giggle at some of the stuff there though. :D | 12:45 |
| wgrant | Awesome review. | 12:45 |
| elkbuntu | oh, and please use the advogato version of his blog when citing on wikipedia | 12:46 |
| elkbuntu | lj is somewhat scorned there | 12:46 |
| wgrant | Not surprising. | 12:46 |
| elkbuntu | http://www.advogato.org/person/mjg59/diary/81.html is the advogato version of the automatix one | 12:46 |
| elkbuntu | the ultamatix one should be easier to find | 12:47 |
| wgrant | "the author's managed to produce a huge steaming pile of shite despite having been told how to avoid doing so beforehand" | 12:51 |
| wgrant | Perfect. | 12:51 |
| elkbuntu | have i ever mentioned how much a <3 mjg? | 12:51 |
| wgrant | I was just about to say '<3 mjg59' | 12:51 |
| elkbuntu | s/i/a/ | 12:51 |
| elkbuntu | errr, other way | 12:51 |
| elkbuntu | s/a/i/ | 12:52 |
| wgrant | Somebody should probably blog about his blogging, given that I don't think he's on Planet. | 12:52 |
| elkbuntu | he always used to be... | 12:53 |
| elkbuntu | he is | 12:53 |
| elkbuntu | third from the top at the moment | 12:53 |
| wgrant | Oh. | 12:53 |
| wgrant | Ah, Liferea was being stupid. | 12:53 |
| elkbuntu | however, i will blog. | 12:55 |
| elkbuntu | and that wikipedia page is not going to escape this time. | 12:55 |
| wgrant | I wonder what they'd think if posts cropped up about it on forumubuntusoftware. | 12:55 |
| elkbuntu | one way to find out | 12:56 |
| wgrant | Didn't somebody recently cleanse the Wikipedia page of the evils that it mentioned? | 12:56 |
| elkbuntu | wgrant, someone recently removed any criticism, yes. | 12:56 |
| wgrant | Now, TheeMahn will presumably start calling mjg an incompetent soon. | 12:57 |
| elkbuntu | of course. | 13:00 |
| elkbuntu | or impossible to please | 13:00 |
| elkbuntu | or both | 13:00 |
| elkbuntu | snuxoll is on the wikipedia case | 13:00 |
| wgrant | Good. | 13:01 |
| * PriceChild notices mjg's review of ultimatix on planet | 13:23 | |
| wgrant | PriceChild: Still rofling? | 13:26 |
| * PriceChild wonders if he is halfway through | 13:28 | |
| elkbuntu | nah, it's pretty horrendous, that's only a scraping, as was my blog post | 13:30 |
| elkbuntu | however, i dont count for anything, according to the wikipedia larks who keep removing me as a source. | 13:30 |
| PriceChild | !ultimatix | 13:31 |
| ubottu | Ultamatix is not recommended, supported, or needed by Ubuntu. Use of this software may cause damage to your Ubuntu install. Do not suggest its use in this channel. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/99905.html and !automatix for more info. | 13:31 |
| jussi01 | PriceChild: way ahead of you :D | 13:31 |
| PriceChild | Just noticed the backlog. | 13:31 |
| PriceChild | jussi01: I would prefer we quoted further. | 13:31 |
| jussi01 | PriceChild: go ahead! | 13:31 |
| PriceChild | no ultimatix is <reply> "Don't install this package. Don't let anyone else install this package. If you see anyone advocating the installation of this package, call them a fool. There's absolutely no excuse whatsoever for the existence of this kind of crap." See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/99905.html | 13:32 |
| PriceChild | :P | 13:32 |
| jussi01 | hehe | 13:32 |
| elkbuntu | heh | 13:32 |
| elkbuntu | he's right though. it's worse than automatix | 13:32 |
| wgrant | I wonder if TheeMahn knows who mjg is. | 13:32 |
| elkbuntu | wgrant, he's about to find out. | 13:32 |
| wgrant | Heh heh heh. | 13:33 |
| PriceChild | wgrant: elkbuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5477031&postcount=15 | 13:34 |
| wgrant | I know he knows that he exists. | 13:35 |
| elkbuntu | yeah, lol | 13:35 |
| wgrant | But I'm not sure he knows that he's so almighty. | 13:35 |
| PriceChild | ohh ok | 13:35 |
| elkbuntu | Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts <-- rofl (unless it's broken or something) | 13:35 |
| wgrant | 'I am no newbie to programming.' | 13:35 |
| wgrant | Woah. | 13:35 |
| wgrant | Almost 1000 posts and not been thanked? Awesome. | 13:35 |
| PriceChild | I have 5000 posts and only 36 thanks. | 13:36 |
| elkbuntu | PriceChild, but how many ubuntu variants do *you* make? | 13:37 |
| PriceChild | 'thanks' hasn't been around very long omparatively. | 13:37 |
| wgrant | Hm, I guess that feature is only fairly new, isn't it? | 13:37 |
| PriceChild | maybe a year, not sure | 13:37 |
| elkbuntu | better than kaarma crap anyday | 13:37 |
| wgrant | He has enough 2nd-level Ubuntu-related domains! | 13:38 |
| elkbuntu | they're all .info, no? | 13:38 |
| wgrant | Yes. | 13:38 |
| PriceChild | uu more people have put me as their referrer | 13:38 |
| * wgrant goes to bed, happy with the knowledge that Ultamatix's death sentence is being carried out. | 13:41 | |
| jussi01 | PriceChild: any word from the CC yet? last I heard was this on friday: | 13:47 |

| Flannel | no idea | 21:07 |
| Flannel | 13:06 < wiggaplz> Can Ibex handle 12" of cock in his rectum? | 21:07 |

| wgrant | Mez: How do you know? | 21:08 |
| Nafallo | wgrant: aren't you asleep? | 21:08 |

| wgrant | Not any more. | 21:09 |

| Flannel | tritium: He wasn't banned. | 21:09 |
| Nafallo | wgrant: geek | 21:09 |
| tritium | Flannel: was he muted? | 21:09 |
| Flannel | tritium: No, I just removed him. | 21:09 |
