henuxhello. with the help of some others, i have done a supybot plugin which might interest you. it's a plugin for browsing unix manual pages on irc. http://henux.nor.fi/projects/ubuntuman.php01:13
henuxfrom the ubuntu manpage repo01:15
danxorI need an IRC client that fails to suck01:37
LjLdanxor: if you mean an IRC client for Ubuntu, try joining #ubuntu-bots and saying "what's the best irc client".01:38
LjLotherwise, join #ubuntu for Ubuntu support (but don't poll)01:38
danxorthx01:38
danxormaybe not my client.  comcast seems to drop my connect randomly01:43

ubot4In #ubuntu-uk, daubers said: ubot4: ECDL is the European Computer Driving Licence16:11
Piciso?16:26
DavieyPici: So.. he wants it as a factoid for #ubuntu-uk16:40
jussi01err, hows about...no? :D16:43
PiciDaviey: I know...  Is it a real request?16:43
=== erUSUL_ is now known as erUSUL
DJonesSeeker`: popey Daviey Myrtti Any of you around, xcdfgkjhgcv is in -uk and still seems to listed on the ban list twice, just wanted to check whether they need kicking from the channel17:55
PiciDJones: I'd assume if they're on the ban list and in the channel, that they're evading a ban. Ripe for kicking in other words...17:58
DJonesPici: Can you help me with the command, its my first since going on the list, i'm using irssi with the aliases from http://pthree.org/2007/07/11/irssi-chanserv-and-nickserv-helper-aliases/ and don't want to get it wrong, by my reading, its /csban xcdfgkjhgcv | mask (but I'm not sure what to put for the mask18:00
PiciDJones: Its nick or mash18:01
Picier, mask18:01
DJonesok, thanks so just the /csban xcdfgkjhgcv should do it18:01
PiciYep18:02
DJonesthanks, and just as i get ready, they leave the channel18:02
tsimpsonSeeker` needs to learn how to set ident-bans ;)18:04
DJonesi was wondering how they'd got in with one of the bans listed18:05
tsimpsonI can't see anything that would match them anyway18:06
naliothDJones: auto_bleh.pl is a better script for irssi, imho18:08
tsimpsonif they always have the same real name, ban that18:09
DJonesThanks for the advice, I'll have look at the script and try & make sense of the bans in place18:10
naliothDJones: if you're not familiar with setting bans and such, i'd recommend you do it by hand until you're familiar with how it works18:10
DJonessounds good advice18:14
Seeker`tsimpson: what ban would you suggest?18:52
tsimpsonSeeker`: your bans are malformed: *!mjghf*@*.range86-149.btcentralplus.com and *!xcdfg*@*.* won't match anyone18:54
Seeker` xcdf*!*@*.range86-149.btcentralplus.com18:55
tsimpsondo you know if they always have the same realname set?#18:55
Myrttirealname?18:55
Myrttitsktsk18:55
Seeker`tsimpson: no, they don't18:55
Piciident?18:56
Myrttithat's the nickname18:56
MyrttiI wonder would I learn autobleh with another irssi18:56
MyrttiI just prefer my aliases for some reason18:56
Seeker`I don't think that any part of their hostmask has stayed constant18:57
MyrttiI know what they do18:57
PiciI don't like autobleh18:57
DJonesusing xcdfgkjhgvc as an example, would hgfgdsg be the realname that would be banned in n=hgfgdsg@host86-149-75-253.range86-149.btcentralplus.com19:12
DJonesassuming it was to stay constant19:13
Myrttinick!ident@hostname19:14
MyrttiDJones: your realname is "Cheshire Viking"19:14
DJonesMyrtti: Thanks, that explains it a bit more19:15
tsimpsonreal name bans are set with mode +d rather than +b19:15
Myrttithe n= in the ident part tells us that the person is using the client on a host that doesn't have identd running19:15
Myrttii= would tell the opposite19:16
Myrtti(I feel so damn old again)19:16
tsimpsonthe n=/i= thing is not really used for anything any more19:17
niko!? work19:17
ubottuDoesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.19:17
Myrttiniko: fail ;-)19:17
Myrttiyeah, usually nick!?=ident@host works fine19:18
tsimpsonnick!?=ident@host is better than nick!*ident@host, the ?= is more specific19:19
MTecknologyhggdh: ping22:29
MTecknologyhggdh: I sent you an invite into that group22:32
hggdhMTecknology, I received, acted on it, and got it to be pending again.22:50

MTecknologysounds great22:57
MTecknologyOne question... why is your LP profile hggdh222:57
hggdhbecause when I created my LP id I did not yet know how things worked, and made it the same as my, er, internet email. At the time I was very much against giving my real name22:58
MTecknologyI was just referring to the 2 at the end22:58
hggdhso there: hggdh2 is the gmail account I use for non-professional internet thingies22:59
MTecknologyoh22:59
hggdhthe account does give my name, but with one of the last names I do not use anywhere else22:59
hggdhto say, steinbach22:59
MTecknologylol - it's easy to find my full life story on the net23:00
MTecknologymy birthday, where I live, where I work, what I do, full (including middle) name, etc23:00
hggdhwell... I use to tell my customers that if they want to do something anonymously, they should use the US postal service, not the internet ;-)23:00
MTecknologypretty much23:02
