[01:10] have you ever been in ubuntu channels under a different nickname? [01:10] not that I know of.. I don't think I've ever been in a ubuntu channel.. I'm using webirc.org to connect though [01:11] I'm a newb to ubuntu .. I think I've been in a debian channel before but I don't think I ever got banned [01:11] I dont know how web-irc is dealt with [01:12] and its time for me to go to bed [01:12] anyone else able to deal with this?

[08:27] me.... professional... lol [08:29] it really makes it sound like work came first and idling were the less important part [08:30] lies [08:31] i know it's a lie but i can fool a boss [08:37] *yawn* [08:38] hey Myrtti [08:38] where are you now? [08:39] back home in Finland. [08:39] disappointing. [08:42] hey at least real winter arrived while you were gone. that must count for something :) [08:43] * jussi01 is in Oulu [08:43] * jussi01 waves to the channel [08:43] topyli: it's "nice". I'd rather have the English weather, thanks. [08:43] jussi01: yay! settled in ok? [08:43] topyli: excellently. [08:43] my eyes are sore. [08:44] topyli: except the storage room is full and my balcony has become storage [08:44] :( [08:44] jussi01: that's what happens every time you move to an apartment with a balcony. nothing to worry about yet [08:45] Myrtti: no, you miss the point, the storage room is full with the owners crap... [08:45] you do have to figure it out before summer. too many people have their balconies become storage on a permanent basis [08:48] Myrtti: we has snow today! [08:48] Gary: I know, I saw it coming yesterday [08:54] Why on earth does aptoncd not have a url?

[11:45] hahhahahahaahahhahahah [11:45] I love it when you *snork* - it cracks me up :P [11:54] elky: yes :-D [12:01] Myrtti: Whereabouts? [12:02] nickspoon: the same as before, Huntingdonshire [12:03] Ah, nice place :) [12:05] flat. [12:05] :-D [12:05] lots of bunnies [12:08] miha, Techna, hello [12:08] hi [12:08] how can we be of assistance today? [12:09] * miha is just curious about Techna 's suggestion:) [12:09] I'm looking for someone to make a suggestion to regarding #ubuntu [12:09] Techna: lets hear it [12:09] there are currently over 1300 users, obviously very few of them are active... [12:10] Techna: let me guess [12:10] *g* [12:10] "lets divide the channel according to interests and topics" [12:10] It takes my clients several minutes to load the list of users [12:11] I'm actually suggesting using a bot to kick users who idle for an extented period [12:11] ooooo [12:11] a NEW idea! [12:11] congratulations! [12:11] sorry [12:11] I'm overly happy today [12:11] Myrtti: be nice [12:11] it would be better to hack freenode irc servers to add usermode not to send channel list [12:11] or is there such? [12:12] * Myrtti gives jussi01 and Techna a lollipop [12:12] then we'd be getting complaints about "Why was I kicked out of #ubuntu, I did nothing wrong........." [12:12] channel user list [12:12] hmm... [12:12] don't take me wrong, it's really a new idea! usually I've seen only "lets divide the channel up" ones [12:12] miha: or hack the client to not to ask for the user list more than once.. [12:12] Techna: several minutes though?`o.O [12:13] took me <1s to get /NAMES #ubuntu [12:13] undernet hacked their servers to disable /list of channels without parameters [12:13] perhaps xchat does that? [12:13] that's why i say that would od [12:14] do [12:14] xchat keeps track on peoples away statuses [12:14] hmm... [12:14] that'd be a /who [12:15] stdin: yes, but still amounts to the same effect in the end from the end user point of view [12:15] either you get names, or you dont [12:15] Well if you have a suggestion to make come back and ask, but Im off to work again [12:15] took me about 1.5-2 seconds to get /who [12:15] *shrug* [12:16] I don't think it's a bad idea *if* it's done properly... but the chances of it been done properly... [12:17] looks like xchat only tracks the away status for channels smaller than 300 nicks by default [12:17] and it would need excemptions [12:17] might be too big a hassle [12:17] Techna: which client are you using? [12:17] I don't know... hopefully the idle traffic can be reduced somehow. either way, some clients, especially those on lower-bandwidth connections and logged into multiple servers, can take a while to enter the channel. I don't think there will be many complaints about kicks if a rule against idling is placed in the topic and/or referring pages. [12:17] trillian [12:17] ah, ok... Windows client [12:17] used it in 2003 [12:18] now a linux client thanks to wine [12:18] Techna: I dont think that will happen tbh. you are better off getting a client that doesnt auto /who [12:19] or finding a way of disabling that [12:19] Techna: using it via wine doesn't actually make it a Linux client ;-) [12:20] Myrtti: virtualization is today's buzzword! [12:20] is there a command to tell the server to disable certain commands from me? [12:21] miha: wine is hard from virtualization :-P [12:21] s/hard/far away/ [12:21] I fail in English today [12:21] Techna: no [12:21] rather, ignore, not disable [12:22] ok, then [12:22] thanks for listening. [12:22] file a bug against the client [12:26] In #ubuntu-fi, Fibubot said: ubot3: Error: "Bug" is not a valid command. [12:26] In ubot3, Fibubot said: Error: "Your" is not a valid command.

[12:26] I seriously hate that bot [12:27] and I don't mean ubot3 [12:27] haha [12:27] first time i've seen it do this [12:27] I've got it on ignore [12:28] in -fi it checks the title of each link and outputs it to the channel [12:28] who runs it? they need to be told how broken it is [12:28] eww, i hate snarfers [12:28] also keeps a track on their teeworlds stats or something [12:28] ninnnu I think. [12:28] not sure [12:28] so it's a snarfer/rss bot? [12:28] * elky goes off to vomit [12:28] * Myrtti pokes Tm_T [12:29] ugh. my back is all peely and itchy :( [12:31] miha: was there something else we could help you with? [12:31] elky: and the chicken from KFC is crawling out from pores in my face and decolté. HAET HAET. [12:32] Myrtti, hehehe. it's addictive though, isnt it [12:32] elky: I thought it was. I have had KFC about 13 years ago the last time [12:32] I swear it tasted better then [12:33] kfc used to taste better, yes. it still tastes good though [12:34] probably saltier if anything [12:41] I havent had KIFC in at least 15 years [12:41] er, KFC [12:42] yeah, after Saturday's experience I can say I wont be having it in the near future myself either [12:43] Myrtti: well if you have any idea how to solve weird cupsys printing problems, you can tell me:) [12:44] its PCL5e printer... and i get junk along with valid text/images [12:44] miha: The support channel is #ubuntu, not here. [12:44] yes [12:44] :) [12:44] ok [12:44] l8r [12:45] elky: Not all url snarfers are bad. I wrote one for supybot that snarfs youtube urls and tells you their real title. (since the urls aren't human readable to begin with) [12:46] Pici: the problem is people, not the urls themselves [12:46] Myrtti: Ah [12:46] Pici, have you ever been in a channel where urls are posted and snarfed at a rate of 'many per minute'? [12:46] what I mean is the person pasting the link should somehow tell what the links are about [12:47] elky: No. I made that for some channels that don't get much traffic. [12:47] it shouldn't be the bot telling that [12:47] just random tossing of links is annoying itself [12:47] Aye [12:47] Pici, usually snarfers are used in channels at a rate *higher* than 'many per minute' [12:47] then when you add a stupid bot that doubles the amount of noise... [12:47] I want to blow them up. [12:47] 'zactly [12:47] Myrtti, got a spare EMP? [12:48] I have to say that I haven't witnessed something like that. Its for the best methinks [12:48] Pici: consider yourself lucky, count your blessings [12:48] this is definitely one of them [13:03] http://www.flickr.com/photos/myrtti/3246730487/ [13:13] Burrr Cold [13:29] Myrtti: yes? [13:29] Tm_T: nothing anymore apparently [13:29] Myrtti: ah, fibubot? (:) [13:30] yeah [13:30] lovely [13:31] i just linked to a gnome bug a while ago, on #ubuntu-fi. ubottu and fibubot almost made the universe implode [13:31] one fetching the titles (bug numbers and descriptions), the other figuring out urls [13:31] that was you? [13:32] if the universe was perfect, we wouldn't need bots. [13:32] sadly, it's not. [13:32] elky: i guess, about half hour ago, or a bit more [13:33] it *was* you! [13:33] i didn't mean it! [13:33] the spamming to here almost made Myrtti explode [13:33] Myrtti: btw I got our flug channel under my control now [13:33] anyway, the fibubot owner made it ignore ubottu now [13:35] Tm_T: excellent [13:36] indeed [14:13] #ubuntu - 15:13:10 < LargeHardonColli> WHAT DO I NEED TO TYPE INTO THE TERMINAL TO FREE MY PENIS [14:15] how was that command that to highlight ops? :p [14:16] !ops [14:16] Help!
