[01:13] hello. 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.php [01:15] from the ubuntu manpage repo [01:37] I need an IRC client that fails to suck [01:38] danxor: if you mean an IRC client for Ubuntu, try joining #ubuntu-bots and saying "what's the best irc client". [01:38] otherwise, join #ubuntu for Ubuntu support (but don't poll) [01:38] thx [01:43] maybe not my client. comcast seems to drop my connect randomly === k4v is now known as m4v === johanbr_ is now known as johanbr [16:11] In #ubuntu-uk, daubers said: ubot4: ECDL is the European Computer Driving Licence [16:26] so? [16:40] Pici: So.. he wants it as a factoid for #ubuntu-uk [16:43] err, hows about...no? :D [16:43] Daviey: I know... Is it a real request? === erUSUL_ is now known as erUSUL [17:55] Seeker`: 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 channel [17:58] DJones: 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... [18:00] Pici: 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 mask [18:01] DJones: Its nick or mash [18:01] er, mask [18:01] ok, thanks so just the /csban xcdfgkjhgcv should do it [18:02] Yep [18:02] thanks, and just as i get ready, they leave the channel [18:04] Seeker` needs to learn how to set ident-bans ;) [18:05] i was wondering how they'd got in with one of the bans listed [18:06] I can't see anything that would match them anyway [18:08] DJones: auto_bleh.pl is a better script for irssi, imho [18:09] if they always have the same real name, ban that [18:10] Thanks for the advice, I'll have look at the script and try & make sense of the bans in place [18:10] DJones: 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 works [18:14] sounds good advice [18:52] tsimpson: what ban would you suggest? [18:54] Seeker`: your bans are malformed: *!mjghf*@*.range86-149.btcentralplus.com and *!xcdfg*@*.* won't match anyone [18:55] xcdf*!*@*.range86-149.btcentralplus.com [18:55] do you know if they always have the same realname set?# [18:55] realname? [18:55] tsktsk [18:55] tsimpson: no, they don't [18:56] ident? [18:56] that's the nickname [18:56] I wonder would I learn autobleh with another irssi [18:56] I just prefer my aliases for some reason [18:57] I don't think that any part of their hostmask has stayed constant [18:57] I know what they do [18:57] I don't like autobleh [19:12] using xcdfgkjhgvc as an example, would hgfgdsg be the realname that would be banned in n=hgfgdsg@host86-149-75-253.range86-149.btcentralplus.com [19:13] assuming it was to stay constant [19:14] nick!ident@hostname [19:14] DJones: your realname is "Cheshire Viking" [19:15] Myrtti: Thanks, that explains it a bit more [19:15] real name bans are set with mode +d rather than +b [19:15] the n= in the ident part tells us that the person is using the client on a host that doesn't have identd running [19:16] i= would tell the opposite [19:16] (I feel so damn old again) [19:17] the n=/i= thing is not really used for anything any more [19:17] !? work [19:17] Doesn'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] niko: fail ;-) [19:18] yeah, usually nick!?=ident@host works fine [19:19] nick!?=ident@host is better than nick!*ident@host, the ?= is more specific [22:29] hggdh: ping [22:32] hggdh: I sent you an invite into that group [22:50] MTecknology, I received, acted on it, and got it to be pending again. [22:50] * hggdh is lost [22:51] heh? [22:51] I sent an invite to your email addy :P [22:51] oh - diff email [22:52] all done [22:52] MTecknology, thanks. BTW, *now* I can give you a testimonial ;-) (but, of course, you do not need it anymore) [22:52] :P [22:53] I don't mind seeing what people wanna say about me anyway :) [22:57] heh. I will go there, then, and add it. Before it did not make sense, since I was not a member... [22:57] sounds great [22:57] One question... why is your LP profile hggdh2 [22:58] because 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 name [22:58] I was just referring to the 2 at the end [22:59] so there: hggdh2 is the gmail account I use for non-professional internet thingies [22:59] oh [22:59] the account does give my name, but with one of the last names I do not use anywhere else [22:59] to say, steinbach [23:00] lol - it's easy to find my full life story on the net [23:00] my birthday, where I live, where I work, what I do, full (including middle) name, etc [23:00] well... I use to tell my customers that if they want to do something anonymously, they should use the US postal service, not the internet ;-) [23:02] pretty much [23:16] MTecknology, done [23:17] hggdh: I love you for it :) - I'll check it out when the email comes :) [23:18] heh [23:18] * hggdh blushes [23:25] hggdh: you spelled my name wrong... [23:26] MTecknology, sorry, will correct [23:27] oh, missed a 'c'... [23:29] ;) [23:30] done... I think [23:31] thanks :)
