bazhangsidewalk cross-trolling?00:17
LjLbazhang: oh - i'm only watching him in #debian00:17
bazhangLjL, he is doing same in #ubuntu00:17
LjLsecond time sebsebseb's getting on my nerves today00:23
bazhangheh00:24
bazhangits an ongoing occurence with me00:24
bazhangnever quite gets off them00:24
bazhanghe'll shortly quit in a huff.00:25
LjLi'm feeling triggery.00:28
LjLvery triggery.00:28
bazhanghe just encourages others to act lolcats00:28
bazhangany way to put a time limit on a mute? I recall some freenode folks mentioning this (like 10 minutes for example)00:34
bazhanganything to avoid re-populating the ban list :)00:34
LjLbazhang: only if you have a script to do that00:36
bazhangLjL, okay thanks; too worried that old xchat and chanserv.py bug will resurface to throw that in the mix :)00:37
LjLha ha so funny.00:44
bazhangits true: lately unbanning via the gui flashes every single ban in the channel (making me think I just removed all bans)00:45
LjLbazhang: i didn't mean you, i meant sebsebseb00:47
bazhangLjL, okay 00:48
bazhangsebsebseb> meshuggah:  if I was a mod I might boot you out ha ha :D  nah  not really since you seem ok00:48
bazhang:/00:49
LjLyes, that00:49
bazhangso 'mods' only boot people they dislike essentially00:51
LjLdoesn't concern me00:51
LjLi'm not a mod00:51
bazhanghehe00:52
bazhanghe's pre-emptively setting himself as a 'victim'00:52
LjLthough you have to forgive them... some people - LIKE JDONG - actually have the word "mods" instead of "ops" in their channel's very topic.00:52
bazhangeww00:52
bazhang(that name, not the word 'mods')00:53
jdong:P00:53
bazhangoh wait00:53
bazhangpyckupline: oh say can you see00:54
LjLwha?00:54
* bazhang huggles jdong for making sych a gryt bot00:54
LjLanother?00:54
bazhangcheckout #uf00:54
Flannel#unf?00:55
Flannelis there #pak and #chooi as well?00:55
bazhangubuntuforums thx00:55
LjLi... don't get it00:55
bazhangbetter than the bot in trivia00:55
Flannelwhats up with pHreaksYcle in ot?00:56
Flannelalso, LjL, sebx3 is in -ot, so you can talk in there00:57
LjLyeah00:57
LjLjdong: my disk is broken alright :( took a tar backup, reformatted, was restoring it... fs went read-only again while i was restoring it.00:58
tritiumnalioth: can you please have ubot3 re-join #ubuntu-us-nm?  Thanks!00:59
LjLtritium: i could join ubotwo meanwhile01:00
tritiumLjL: sure, thank you.01:00
jdongLjL: OUCH :(01:01
tritiumLjL: do you just want me to kick ubotwo when ubot3 re-joins?01:01
LjLjdong: well... at least it's under warranty01:01
LjLtritium: give me a reminder too when ubot3 joins, or ubotwo will join again next time it reconnects to the server01:01
tritiumLjL: ok, thanks.  Will do.01:02
LjLjdong: i did hope solid state wouldn't suck *this* much, though.01:02
jdongLjL: unfortunately they all seem to.01:05
jdongLjL: we just had some people on campus report that a database journal on an X25-E died about 4 months into usage.01:05
naliothso which bot is where, tritium ?01:07
jdongtritium's a bot?01:07
tritiumnalioth: LjL gave us Ubotwo, on loan, until we could get ubot3 back.01:07
tritiumjdong: You never know, do you?  ;)01:08
jdongtritium: well is it that you never know, do you that I feel you are a bot?01:08
tritiumThanks, nalioth.  LjL you can remove Ubotwo, if you like.01:08
jdong;-)01:08
tritiumThanks to you as well, LjL.01:09
LjLjdong: i don't understand, i could have understood losing the root disk... (the eeepc 901 has two disks), but /home? it's not like it gets written to all that often01:10
jdongLjL: well if you want my blunt opinion on it, the Eee comes with a tiny high-quality SSD and a cost-cutting big one for the spec sheet.01:11
jdongLjL: to be honest I'd trust a digital camera SD/CF card more than the auxiliary SSD01:11
jdong(I am an Eeepc owner)01:11
tritiumjdong: do you tweak things to limit writes?01:12
LjLjdong: well i assumed the main drawback of the cost-cutting big one was speed.01:12
LjLjdong: know anything about those 90x models with only a single ssd? (there are such, right?)01:14
tritiumThat would be my one concern with SSDs.01:15
LjLtritium: not sure it's *so* relevant in practice. this ssd of mine failed with really few writes - there's many more writes on the other one, with stuff writing to syslog all the time for starters01:16
LjLi guess if an ssd is decent, it'll last like your average hd even if you treat it badly01:16
LjLif it's not then well01:16
bazhangc0rrupted/matrixhomie in #k01:18
LjLjdong: will formatting with -c possibly give me a working filesystem, or is it no use on flash?01:20
jdongLjL: I don't believe -c is any use due to wear leveling01:56
jdongphysical defects are different locations from logical addresses01:56
LjLyes that's what i was thinking...01:56
LjLjdong: although - it's probably too early to say - but it might have just been some bug in adamm's kernel that i was using. i've booted into a vanilla ubuntu kernel, and it's copying stuff fine for now...01:57
LjLof course it may also be just chance.01:57
jdongLjL: certainly filesystem corruption could be a kernel-ish problem.01:57
LjLjdong: though, since it happened pretty much every time i touched it, it logically should also have happened on the other drive, if that's the case02:00
jdonghmm they are the same bus right? (i.e. use the same kernel driver)02:00
LjLjdong: scsi@1:0.0.0 and scsi@1:0.1.0 according to lshw02:03
jdongLjL: I assume both are hooked up to ata piix?02:03
LjLjdong: in english?02:04
jdongthe kernel module responsible for accessing it02:04
jdongis it a standard Intel PIIX?02:04
jdong(dmesg should provide hints as to which scsi driver finds the drive)02:04
LjLjdong: i honestly don't know how to read it. the first clear mention i see of them is from "ata2.00" and "ata2.01"02:08
LjLjdong: there's also "scsi0 : ata_piix" and "scsi1 : ata_piix"02:08
LjL(keep in mind i have a third drive connected now)02:08
LjLthough anyway this is with the ubuntu kernel, so who knows whether it's any different with adamm...02:09
jdongLjL: right, ata_piix is handling the drives both02:10
jdongso if it were a driver problem it should've affected both.02:10
LjLstill, it's still copying stuff without complaining02:10
jdongoddness02:13
jdongwell when will be the next wear-leveling rotation of death? :D02:13
LjLjdong: right now i think.02:14
LjLjdong: my log has just filled up with stuff about "new_block: Allocating block in system zone"02:14
jdongeep02:14
LjLjdong: although this time it's not remounted r/o yet...02:14
LjLjdong: why doesn't the stupid thing at least mark bad blocks as bad and stop fscking using them? >:02:16
jdongLjL: because nobody paid them to ;-)02:16
LjLjdong: but my FLOPPIES do that!02:16
LjLchrist.02:17
jdongLjL: yeah, unfortunately SSDs are pretty primitive and IMO primarily a cost-cutting measure in netbooks.02:17
jdongI'd personally rather have a nice Hitachi 4200RPM drive02:17
jdongthe ones that take 50G's of operating shock and 1000G's of nonoperating.02:17
LjLjdong: i suppose i'd have had a HDD if the 901 ever came with one...02:20
LjLjdong: i think now they're stopping making 90x-sized machines entirely. at least asus are, and i don't see any of the others making them02:21
jdongLjL: the Dell Mini 9 is roughly that side right?02:21
LjLand that size is already on the too-big side for me, i bought this as a Psion replacement02:21
LjLjdong: the dell probably isn't sold in italy, i haven't seen it anywhere at all, including online shops02:21
jdongoh :(02:22
LjLjdong: what we have here is the eee's, the acer ones (bit big), the horrible HP Compaqs, the Samsung NC10 (my mother has it, it's nice), and if you're lucky the Wind02:23
jdongLjL: yeah of the ones you listed, the NC10 and the Wind are nice.02:23
LjLjdong: but while fine for my mom, they're not the right size for me02:23
LjLjdong: there's also a new 10" acer one around now, it looks decent though i haven't very much investigated02:24
LjLthe keyboard feels the best02:24
* jdong nods02:24
LjLwhile the eee keyboard, meh02:24
jdongyeah I have a mini9 and an eee and neither's keyboards impress me.02:24
LjLand it's not at all about the size02:24
jdongthe mini 9 is a little bit better02:24
jdongbut both are flaky02:24
jdongthey're certainly no Macbook.02:24
LjLi guess not, but then the samsung keyboard is pretty fine (aside from the enter key that gets stuck a little but who cares), and the acers feel wonderful to me02:25
LjLthe wind - not sure, only got my hands on it once02:25
LjLjdong: the dell's a little bigger than the eeepc, but just a little... i suppose i'd have considered it if i'd actually seen it anywhere02:31
LjLjdong: it even comes with one bigger ssd, so you err, lose more data at once.02:32
tritiumI'll be looking closely at the Dell Mini 10, once they offer some of the promised upgrades (720p display, integrated TV tuner, etc.)02:32
LjLhigher resolution is what's missing from mom's NC1002:33
LjLi can deal with the smallness, after all for me it replaces a psion... but 1024x600 is tight for most people given today's software and sites02:33
LjL(which is crazy, but not much i can do about it)02:33
LjLi mean hell, neither kde's nor gnome's *solitaires* fit02:34
jdongLjL: it comes with a single SSD too.02:37
LjLjdong: yes, the question is, is it the eee-4gb kind, or the eee-16gb kind... and i'd suspect the latter or how would they keep similar prices02:41
LjL(lucky thing besides that i just bought an external HD (technically for my dad), or i wouldn't have been able to back the eeepc up to begin with...)02:43
jdongLjL: it's about 22MB/s random02:43
LjLjdong: that's pretty impressingly fast isn't it?02:44
jdongit's as fast as IMO a SSD on a netbook needs to be02:46
jdongit's definitely no intel X25 but any faster won't help in a weakling netbook02:46
LjLjdong: well hddparm on the eeepc gives me some 10MB/s (not quite random, either) iirc02:48
LjLjdong: still, will "fast" be tied to "reliable"?02:49
jdongI'm not sure02:51
jdongI've only had it for a few weeks02:51
LjLjdong: you've got an eeepc *and* a mini 9? and?02:52
jdonglol that's it.02:53
jdongnot a huge netbook fan02:54
LjLjdong: are you one of those forum dwellers who go like "Well, I have to say after I sold my 700 and got my 901 I felt happier, but this NC10 gives me some new emotions for sure. Shame they've already bought it on eBay, but oh well, I'll have the Wind U100 to play with"02:54
jdonghaha no02:55
jdongI hate doing the buy-and-sell thing.02:55
jdongI do the "every part is used" native american hunting thing.02:55
jdongthe eeepc is a security camera02:55
LjLjdong: oh about that - you don't happen to know of any way to grab shots without the led lighting up?02:56
jdongLjL: ugh currently no, I think it's firmware tied sadly02:56
LjL(no, i'm not spying on anyone.)02:56
jdonglol I will admit to that :)02:56
LjLfeared so02:56
LjLjdong: i actually just wanted to use it to auto-adjust screen brightness.02:57
jdongbrilliant idea02:57
jdongbut is it worth the 3W power draw? :D02:57
LjLjdong: wasn't planning on keeping it on, just a quick grab every 30 seconds or so02:57
LjL(hope it doesn't have a spike current...)02:58
jdongyeah that's a really really neat project :)02:59
LjLjdong: other thing i wanted to try with the webcam was opengazer, but i can't get it to compile for the heck of me03:00
Until_It_SleepsThe bot in #Ubuntu-read-topic can't test me, and I need to be tested manually.03:17
elkyUntil_It_Sleeps, do you always use the same nickname?03:20
Until_It_Sleepsyes03:21
elkyand where did you get banned from?03:21
Until_It_SleepsNo, I just wish to be tested so I can see which network/port to take off my autoconnect list.03:22
Until_It_SleepsChatzilla is a little screwy when it comes to ports and stuff...03:22
elky#ubuntu-read-topic only tests people who are quarantined from #ubuntu. it's not a whim service03:23
Until_It_Sleepsah... that's why it's not doing it.03:23
elkyyes. if you're not banned from #ubuntu, it wont test you03:23
elkyyou have to be in it's list03:24
Until_It_SleepsSo, does that mean you won't be able to/aren't willing to test me?03:27
elkyyou'll have to wait for someone who knows how03:28
Until_It_SleepsOh :|03:29
elky* Funkeh` (n=funk@WoWUIDev/WoWAce/Ace3/BigWigs/funkeh) has joined #ubuntu <--- what a cloak....04:07
elkysomeone please get paddy off me06:43
Flannel!away > FlareDS 07:08
Myrttielky: I think the correct syntax is "victim Until_It_Sleeps"08:48
elkyi figured it out about 1 second before he /quit08:50
jussi01why do I know that nick...08:51
elkybecause you've probably had to victim it a few times08:51
elkymmm... soup08:53
elkyvegetable soup at that08:53
jussi01mm... Id love some tomato soup...08:54
elkythis is 'country harvest' and it has potato, turnip, celery, carrot, peas, green beans, pinto beans, and barley in it08:55
elkyi used to hate beans, but i seem to not mind them now.08:55
elkybaked beans are still eww though08:56
jussi01hehe08:56
* jussi01 likes baked beans also08:56
Myrttiif only there'd be refried beans in Finland08:56
elkyoh, it has onion in it too08:56
Myrttithey made excellent cheesy bean dip for tortilla chips08:56
elkyMyrtti, you cant even get it in cans?08:57
MyrttiI know I could make it myself but no, that's what I meant, no canned refried beans anywhere08:58
elkyow08:58
Myrttionce upon a time about six years ago my sister did see a can or two08:58
elkyof all the weird things you finns eat, but not that...08:58
elkyMyrtti, it's also good to throw in a lasagna if you cant be bothered mashing 4 bean salad mix08:59
jussi01Myrtti: behnfords in helsinki08:59
jussi01in the world trade center iirc08:59
Myrttijussi01: that's no consolation for a person who doesn't live within ten km radius of the Three Smiths09:00
jussi01hehe09:00
Myrttinot with the amount of Mexican me and my sister eat, anyway09:00
jussi01and behnfords is ridiculously expensive anyway...09:02
elkyMyrtti, i found some TVP the other day too. now i just need to figure how to use it09:03
Myrttistrips or crushed?09:03
Myrttithey're all lovely though09:04
elkyMyrtti, it's actually labelled textured soy protein, and it's like big crumbs the size of peas. i could have got bigger crumbs, but i figured this would be better to try with09:04
Myrttithe amount of vegans and vegetarians must be substancial in Finland since every grocery store has TVP09:04
elkyMyrtti, australia is more asian in it's vegetarianism i think09:05
elkytofu, tempeh, lentils, beans and chickpeas09:06
Myrttiewww chickpeas09:06
Myrttithose I *hate*09:06
elkyi dont mind them so much09:06
Chipmunki'm hungry now09:07
elkythey're tolerable in a good pesto sauce09:07
elkyand, i <3 a good hommus09:07
Myrttigraah09:07
Myrttiwhy do totally random people want to befriend me in Facebook09:08
Chipmunk'cos thats what facebook is for?09:08

elkyor this one http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile6/676/10/s549103430_2415.jpg09:14
Chipmunkwhen you have ten friends in common, all from irc, including a fair few staff, you just know you are a geek09:15
elkysince we know you like having muscly men wrap themselves around you09:15
elkyhehe yeah09:15
Myrttielky: pwned ;-)09:16
Myrttifacebook : oh how do I hate thee09:16
Chipmunkoooo, that reminds me, I so need to stalk jenda more09:16
elkyMyrtti, so how do i actually use this tvp stuff?09:17
MyrttiI soak it up in a veggie stock or something before doing anything to it09:18
Myrttiunless I'm making mince meatballs and substitute some of the meat with the coarse tvp crush09:18
Myrttifor that they're excellent substitute for eggs in the mixture09:19
Myrttisoak up the juices of the meat and all09:19
elkyit looks like it'd do well in lasagna too09:20
Myrttiyup09:20
MyrttiI've only used the dark crush and light strips09:20
elkyi have light crush09:21
MyrttiChipmunk: oh drat. would this be a good reminder to quote the one undeniable truth about men? "all the goodlooking are either taken or gay, or both"09:23
ChipmunkMyrtti: are you saying I am good looking?09:23
Chipmunkaww bless :-)09:23
MyrttiChipmunk: people say I'm good looking, for some odd reason...09:23
ChipmunkMyrtti: you are09:24
Chipmunkvery pretty09:24
elkyChipmunk, you both are cute09:24
Chipmunknow, are you talking me and the dog, or me and tom? :p09:24
elkyi'm talking you and miia09:25

* jussi01 hasnt properly tried mämmi yet :P09:36
Myrttimämmi with proper cream and touch of sugar is bliss09:36
Myrttithough *cough* I should have it with skimmed milk09:36
* elky looks at all the [weasel words] in the article09:36
MyrttiProfessor Hely Tuorila of Helsinki University conducted research in the United States of America as part of a project on the acceptance of ethnic foods. This was carried out in the early 1990s by the US Army Natick RD&E Center [10]. On the Food Neophobia Scale which resulted it found that on the whole: "Finnish foods did not do too well".09:37
jussi01[weasel words]?09:37
MyrttiLOL09:37
Myrtti*snork*09:37
jussi01hahah09:37
elkyMyrtti, finnish foods are probably not nearly sweet, salty or fried enough09:39
Myrttielky: yeah, our foods are bland at best09:39
MyrttiI should have some break... erm. brunch09:40
topylithey used to be salty (not that it helps) but the health mafia took even that away09:40
Myrttimmmm butter09:41
elkysalty is only ok with certain foods. potatoes for example09:41
Myrttisalty butter!09:41
Myrttisalty butter with new potatoes!09:41
elkyi prefer my taters salty and greasy09:41
elkyMyrtti, and garlic!09:41
Myrttithe most sinful dish ever invented09:41
Myrtticooked new tatties with salty butter09:42
Myrttiit has the overload of everything bad09:42
Myrtticarbs, salt, hard fats09:42
elkybaby taters with garlic butter is pure yum09:42
Myrttithough, of ingenious foods I think grouse spiced with juniper berries is quite nice09:44
Myrttiand spicy to the definition of spicy.09:45
elkytopyli, i'm sure you're thinking the exact same thing i'm thinking right now about -women :P10:01
topylielky: i am in fact thinking about women, but not the channel :)10:02
elkylol10:02
topyliwomen in rwanda actually. it's the only country with female majority in the parliament. of course, they're not particularly happy about it nevertheless :(10:03
Myrttimmm, rye bread with tomatos and salad leaves and chevre, vanilla oat "yoghurt", french roast coffee with milk, orange juice.10:05
MyrttiI feel so bourgeois, even the juice is Tropicana!10:05
MyrttiI just love SIP - when both users use Ekiga. Most apps fuck up the NAT reversal, ekiga does not12:07
Myrttioops.12:08

ikoniaMyrtti: it would be nice to explain why they are hitting with the factoids, if they don't understand english it seems rude13:14
ikoniaeg: the channel you are in is English only, if you want finish chat join #ubuntu-fi 13:15
Myrttiso saying !se on -fi, having the factoid say "This channel is English only"13:15
Myrttior in !ses' case "Denna kanal är för endast engelska diskussion om Ubuntu..."13:16
Myrttiwhen -fi is Finnish...13:16
ikoniajust poindering as I hit a polish guy with !pt and it came across as "polish is there -> get out"13:18

balzacI came here to complain because I thought I was "handled" with a bit too much efficiency by some op(s) in #ubuntu22:03
Myrttiwhen and which ops?22:03
LjLthat would be flannel and i, i believe22:03
balzacI think IRC operators shouldn't behave like mall cops22:03
Myrttiyou're entitled to your opinion22:03
Myrttihowever, the channel rules are quite clear22:03
balzacwell, I know the ops have some discretion on when to enforce policies22:04
Flannelbalzac: We believe people who visit our support rooms should follow the rules, as well.22:04
balzacand some idle chatter happens, even in support channels22:04
Flannelbalzac: Yes, but your chatter wasn't idle.22:04
balzacright, but there is usually a bit of tolerance for non-compliance22:04
balzacI wanted to directly raise an issue22:04
balzacbut I was offered a channel called #ubuntu-offtopic22:05
LjLbalzac, there's tolerance only to the extent that you are warned a first time.22:05
LjLand a second time.22:05
LjLand sometimes a third time.22:05
balzacever since the first time I was invited to move my conversation to such a badly-named channel, I was put off by it22:05
LjLeventually, you get your kick/ban22:05
balzacit devalues the discussion to call it #ubuntu-offtopic22:05
balzacas if you only want the conversation to be among insiders22:06
LjLyour continued statement that #ubuntu-offtopic is "badly named" offends me a bit. i'm very much into that channel.22:06
balzacwell, I was not in a hurry to go to #ubuntu-offtopic because the name seems to discourage conversation22:06
Seeker`balzac: what do you mean "insiders", and how does it discourage converstaion22:06
balzacwell, this is a problem with many of the "open source" project channels on freenode, not just ubuntu22:07
Flannelbalzac: I wasn't aware that "offtopic" was a synonym for "don't talk".  Where do I find such an up to date dictionary?  Mine's obviously antiquated.22:07
balzacI think it's the corporate influence22:07
Seeker`balzac: you are'nt answering the question22:07
balzacSeeker`: by insiders I mean this: I get the feeling that the most influential discussions aren't happening in #ubuntu-offtopic, nor in #ubuntu22:08
balzacIt may be happening in a Canonical conference room22:08
balzacI'm just asking for a bit more hospitality in the "lobby" 22:09
Seeker`a lot of the influential discussions are happening on the relevant channels, where it is ontopic for that channel22:09
LjLneither channel is *intended* to make "influential" discussions at all.22:09
Seeker`#ubuntu isn't the "lobby", it is the support channel22:09
balzacyeah, and that's why the channel is called #ubuntu-offtopic22:09
Flannelbalzac: -offtopic is for chatting, not making decisions, there are other channels for that purpose.22:09
LjL#ubuntu is for support, and #ubuntu-offtopic is for general mostly ubuntu-related discussion. neither is to make decisions about anything22:09
LjLand ubot4 is an idiot.22:09
Seeker`LjL: agreed22:09
Myrttiagreed22:10
balzacit is meant to devalue the conversation that happens there because the corporate guys don't care to invite the general public to discuss the most important topics of conversation22:10
balzacLjL: I can see that, and I don't really think it's the best way22:10
Seeker`balzac: #ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic are not the only two ubuntu channels22:10
balzacWhy doesn't Ubuntu have a user-moderated forum?22:11
Seeker`it does22:11
balzacwhy not a user-moderated irc chat?22:11
Seeker`it does22:11
balzacuser-moderated?22:11
Seeker`everyone in this channel is a user22:11
Myrttibalzac: if you want to participate in the discussion elsewhere you ask "hey guys, I've got a question about this and that, and I was wondering who I should contact and what would be the best channel for the discussion about this and that"22:11
balzacno, we have ops, and then we have people who are a nuisance22:11
Seeker`a very small proportion are actually emplyed by canonical22:11
LjLbalzac: it might not be the best way, but it's tried, mostly works, etc22:12
balzacwhy are so many "open source" projects so disinterested in the most egalitarian social software?22:12
balzacit has to be the influence of corporate culture22:12
LjLthat's not our concern22:12
LjLtry #politics22:12
balzacapparently it isn't22:12
jdonghow many in here are paid by Canonical again?22:12
MyrttiNafallo22:12
Myrttinone other that I know of22:12
LjLjdong: they give me a grand a week.22:12
LjLjdong: wait, no they don't, they might sue me if they see me claiming that.22:13
jdongLjL: no no not payment for THAT thing you do ;-)22:13
balzacI'm an entrepreneur myself and I'm eager to make money. That's not my issue.22:13
Myrttioh, and Ursinha22:13
* Nafallo knows of others, but up to them if they want to disclose their employeer :-)22:13
LjLjdong: now they might sue you too22:13
jdonglol22:13
jdongmy point is, I doubt anyone employed by Canonical actually made any of the rules here :)22:13
FlannelMyrtti: Urs inha isn't an op in #ubuntu though22:13
MyrttiFlannel: neither is Nafallo ;-)22:13
FlannelMyrtti: ah, well then.22:13
LjLNafallo: well, there's someone with an awful taste for humor...22:13
balzacjdong: Almost every one of these major channels has corporate culture influencing the way it runs22:14
NafalloLjL: are you sure?22:14
Myrttibalzac: #ubuntu is run by the common sense22:14
LjLnalioth: i'm never sure of anything22:14
balzacYou know what, I think Mark Shuttleworth does a pretty good job, reconciling various groups and interests.22:14
LjLeven what mark shuttleworth does is not really relevant to this channel.22:15
Myrttiof "omg we have 1400 people discussing about their problems with Ubuntu software, perhaps that's what the channel should be about and other channels could be for development and other issues!"22:15
balzacBut he recently said something discouraging people from being overly critical.22:15
jdongbalzac: corporate culture, huh?22:15
balzacI think the problem is that people aren't critical enough of each other.22:15
jdongthat's news to me.22:15
LjLbalzac: i'm quite critical of you, if that makes you feel any better22:15
jdongbecause the rules and operators for the most part are volunteers.22:15
* Myrtti makes a cross stich wall sign22:16
Myrtti[00:15] < balzac> I think the problem is that people aren't critical enough of each  other.22:16
balzacLjL: people should be comfortable being a lot more critical22:16
MyrttiI claim that as The Quote of this discussion22:16
LjLbalzac: in the right places. not in #ubuntu.22:16
balzacI think this is the best channel in which to discuss ubuntu22:17
balzacunless I'm asking for technical support22:17
Seeker`balzac: you'd be wrong there22:17
LjLno, this is the channel where to discuss Ubuntu IRC operators related issues22:17
balzacSeeker`: maybe so, and maybe not.22:17
Myrttithis is for Ubuntu IRC main channels issues22:17
Myrttinothing more22:17
jdongbalzac: actually, based on channel rules you *are* wrong :)22:17
balzacSuppose I got hired by Canonical and became an op.22:17
Myrttiloco channel issues are at #ubuntu-irc22:17
LjLit says so in the topic.22:17
balzacjdong: it doesn't make me wrong from then on to break the rules at some point.22:18
Myrttibalzac: again, being employed by Canonical doesn't mean that you'll become an op22:18
LjLjdong: oh lord, you realize what you just said makes him right?22:18
Seeker`balzac: ops arent' necessarily canonical employees, and canonical employees aren't automatically ops22:18
MyrttiCanonical has very little to do with Ubuntu in reality. Most things are handled by the community22:18
balzacI'm not the kind of guy who gets hired anyway. I have to get my own company going because I'm not as eager to get along as most people in big companies.22:19
LjLsomehow doesn't surprise me22:19
balzaccorporate culture is pretty emasculated, even in cool companies22:19
jdongI still don't see where you're going with this, though.22:19
Myrttiso what was the issue here again?22:19
LjLjdong: lennahc siht fo tou?22:19
Myrttibalzac doesn't like to be told off to join another channel where his idle chatter is more tolerated22:20
Seeker`i think the discussion lost all sense of purpose about 10 mins ago. Perhaps it should end now.22:20
balzacany company over a certain size imposes certain indignities on the employees22:20
balzacMyrtti: I don't like the name #ubuntu-offtopic22:20
LjLok, quick poll22:20
LjLshall we change the name of #ubuntu-offtopic?22:20
LjLi vote no22:20
balzacif it were #ubuntu-open-discussion or something, I would have been happy to go there22:20
Myrttino22:20
jdongno.22:20
Seeker`no22:21
Garyyes22:21
Seeker`balzac: a rose by any other name...22:21
Garyoh, I mean no22:21
LjLGary: gah.22:21
LjLGary: gah-ry.22:21
Garyhehe, my mom says it like that22:22
Myrtti22:22
LjLanyway, so it seems we aren't changing the -ot channel name22:22
balzacMaybe we need a distro which is porn-friendly, drug-friendly, and all of those things which many adults consider to be normal.22:22
LjLanything else?22:22
LjLhmhm22:22
LjLmaybe we do22:22
LjLthat's not Ubuntu though22:22
bazhang* [jillsmitt] (n=jillsmit@95.58.191.118): Jill Smitt22:22
LjLthat's not even up for discussion, really22:22
LjLso, anything else?22:22
Seeker`balzac: off you go and create one then. Have fun.22:22
bazhangclearly trolling in #k as of a whiile ago22:23
balzacthen we can see who wins the gnu/linux distro popularity contest - the adult-freedom distro, or the bland corporate distro22:23
Seeker`ok balzac, seeya22:23
bazhangbalzac, please stop22:23
balzacmaybe it'll be down-stream from #ubuntu 22:23
Myrttibalzac: feel free to compete in India and China and muslim Indonesia with that22:23
Myrttianything else?22:23
Seeker`why is this discussion still happening?22:23
MyrttiI have no idea22:23
Garybalzac: those topics are offtopic for the whole network, let alone ubuntu-* channels22:23
balzacfor the whole network?22:24
Seeker`can someone do something about it then please?22:24
balzacGary: are you a freenode admin?22:24
balzacSeeker`: maybe it is I who will do something about this22:24
MyrttiSeeker`: I have a feeling this is going to end soon22:24
balzacI have a lot of patience for bureaucratic engagement22:24
Garybalzac: I am staff yes, and porn and drugs are offtopic on freenode, see ya22:24
Myrttibalzac: good luck and godspeed!22:24
bazhangLjL, thanks22:24
LjLGary: i think you might want to discuss those issues with balzac in #freenode, as they're not ontopic for this channel.22:24
balzacGary: I'm going to ask questions and challenge that22:24
Myrttiwohooo!22:25
balzacThis sounds more like prisonnode than freenode22:25
