Seeker`it was topyli that banned you I think00:33
Seeker`gasto: please leave the channel and come back tomorrow00:33
bazhangnbeebo, what is the rush to get back in there?00:33

Seeker`i;ve told you that already00:35
nbeebook 4 days00:35
bazhangnbeebo, you were asked repeatedly not to continue, warned on many occasions, yet continued nonetheless00:35
nbeeboyeah but u wasnt sure offtopic so i gussed so technical problem...00:35
nbeebonot that i can remember, give me an example... or something close00:35
bazhangnbeebo, so your ban will *not* be lifted any time soon, as you seem to think you are some sort of victim here, which is most certainly not the case.00:36
nbeebou seem to think u know people well...00:36
nbeeboanyway since ur here ill be back in a day or two, ur so hostile00:36
bazhangnbeebo, perhaps the long respite from #ubuntu-offtopic will refresh your memory.00:36

FlannelWhy would we send someone to a gnome channel?04:26
nickrudI've done it for people looking for detailed gimp help04:27
FlannelRight, but we certainly don't need it in that factoid04:31
nickrudtrue. He's been offering many changes, look above04:34
bazhangthat kshlmstr bot seems to be from kaushal, though he has yet to reply04:35
Flannelnickrud: the previous two is a separation of the current factoid.  I'm not really sure its necessary either.04:35
nickrudyes. He's reacting to specific questions from users, and offering modifications to match those needs04:36
nickrudheh. my finger's still sore, can't type as fast as before ;)04:39
rotarychainsawUser Koodhz sent me a PM trying to get me to forkbomb. for shame05:25

nickrudlol Flannel you should have been around when ubotu was open, and those had to be fixed on the fly :)06:29
FlannelI was around06:30
Flannelwell, not as an admin, but since it was open.... I fixed plenty of stupid factoids06:30
nickrudah, I missed seeing you then. But then I wasn't around for a year and I forgot a lot of nicks during that time06:31
nickrudso you should just let those flow by you. they'll be amusing reading for people when they wake up 06:32
FlannelDang.  Now I wish I had given tenX a warning prior06:56

jussi01anyways, bed ->>19:16
LjLyes i was19:17
LjLbut i did nothing about it19:17
LjLit can be fixed by mangling it (because extended options aren't supported by the version of aptitude that's currently in ubuntu)19:17
LjLor it can be fixed by just reverting it and not caring about the automatically installed pakages list19:17
PiciYou could wait until Jaunty, I believe those options are in that version of aptitude19:18
LjLPici: but the factoid isn't really supposed to be for only one version of ubuntu19:18
