[01:13] <henux> 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] <henux> from the ubuntu manpage repo
[01:37] <danxor> I need an IRC client that fails to suck
[01:38] <LjL> danxor: if you mean an IRC client for Ubuntu, try joining #ubuntu-bots and saying "what's the best irc client".
[01:38] <LjL> otherwise, join #ubuntu for Ubuntu support (but don't poll)
[01:38] <danxor> thx
[01:43] <danxor> maybe not my client.  comcast seems to drop my connect randomly
[16:11] <ubot4> In #ubuntu-uk, daubers said: ubot4: ECDL is the European Computer Driving Licence
[16:26] <Pici> so?
[16:40] <Daviey> Pici: So.. he wants it as a factoid for #ubuntu-uk
[16:43] <jussi01> err, hows about...no? :D
[16:43] <Pici> Daviey: I know...  Is it a real request?
[17:55] <DJones> 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] <Pici> 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] <DJones> 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] <Pici> DJones: Its nick or mash
[18:01] <Pici> er, mask
[18:01] <DJones> ok, thanks so just the /csban xcdfgkjhgcv should do it
[18:02] <Pici> Yep
[18:02] <DJones> thanks, and just as i get ready, they leave the channel
[18:04] <tsimpson> Seeker` needs to learn how to set ident-bans ;)
[18:05] <DJones> i was wondering how they'd got in with one of the bans listed
[18:06] <tsimpson> I can't see anything that would match them anyway
[18:08] <nalioth> DJones: auto_bleh.pl is a better script for irssi, imho
[18:09] <tsimpson> if they always have the same real name, ban that
[18:10] <DJones> Thanks for the advice, I'll have look at the script and try & make sense of the bans in place
[18:10] <nalioth> 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] <DJones> sounds good advice
[18:52] <Seeker`> tsimpson: what ban would you suggest?
[18:54] <tsimpson> Seeker`: your bans are malformed: *!mjghf*@*.range86-149.btcentralplus.com and *!xcdfg*@*.* won't match anyone
[18:55] <Seeker`>  xcdf*!*@*.range86-149.btcentralplus.com
[18:55] <tsimpson> do you know if they always have the same realname set?#
[18:55] <Myrtti> realname?
[18:55] <Myrtti> tsktsk
[18:55] <Seeker`> tsimpson: no, they don't
[18:56] <Pici> ident?
[18:56] <Myrtti> that's the nickname
[18:56] <Myrtti> I wonder would I learn autobleh with another irssi
[18:56] <Myrtti> I just prefer my aliases for some reason
[18:57] <Seeker`> I don't think that any part of their hostmask has stayed constant
[18:57] <Myrtti> I know what they do
[18:57] <Pici> I don't like autobleh
[19:12] <DJones> 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] <DJones> assuming it was to stay constant
[19:14] <Myrtti> nick!ident@hostname
[19:14] <Myrtti> DJones: your realname is "Cheshire Viking"
[19:15] <DJones> Myrtti: Thanks, that explains it a bit more
[19:15] <tsimpson> real name bans are set with mode +d rather than +b
[19:15] <Myrtti> 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] <Myrtti> i= would tell the opposite
[19:16] <Myrtti> (I feel so damn old again)
[19:17] <tsimpson> the n=/i= thing is not really used for anything any more
[19:17] <niko> !? work
[19:17] <Myrtti> niko: fail ;-)
[19:18] <Myrtti> yeah, usually nick!?=ident@host works fine
[19:19] <tsimpson> nick!?=ident@host is better than nick!*ident@host, the ?= is more specific
[22:29] <MTecknology> hggdh: ping
[22:32] <MTecknology> hggdh: I sent you an invite into that group
[22:50] <hggdh> MTecknology, I received, acted on it, and got it to be pending again.
[22:50]  * hggdh is lost
[22:51] <MTecknology> heh?
[22:51] <MTecknology> I sent an invite to your email addy :P
[22:51] <MTecknology> oh - diff email
[22:52] <MTecknology> all done
[22:52] <hggdh> MTecknology, thanks. BTW, *now* I can give you a testimonial ;-) (but, of course, you do not need it anymore)
[22:52] <MTecknology> :P
[22:53] <MTecknology> I don't mind seeing what people wanna say about me anyway :)
[22:57] <hggdh> heh. I will go there, then, and add it. Before it did not make sense, since I was not a member...
[22:57] <MTecknology> sounds great
[22:57] <MTecknology> One question... why is your LP profile hggdh2
[22:58] <hggdh> 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] <MTecknology> I was just referring to the 2 at the end
[22:59] <hggdh> so there: hggdh2 is the gmail account I use for non-professional internet thingies
[22:59] <MTecknology> oh
[22:59] <hggdh> the account does give my name, but with one of the last names I do not use anywhere else
[22:59] <hggdh> to say, steinbach
[23:00] <MTecknology> lol - it's easy to find my full life story on the net
[23:00] <MTecknology> my birthday, where I live, where I work, what I do, full (including middle) name, etc
[23:00] <hggdh> 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] <MTecknology> pretty much
[23:16] <hggdh> MTecknology, done
[23:17] <MTecknology> hggdh: I love you for it :) - I'll check it out when the email comes :)
[23:18] <hggdh> heh
[23:18]  * hggdh blushes
[23:25] <MTecknology> hggdh: you spelled my name wrong...
[23:26] <hggdh> MTecknology, sorry, will correct
[23:27] <hggdh> oh, missed a 'c'...
[23:29] <MTecknology> ;)
[23:30] <hggdh> done... I think
[23:31] <MTecknology> thanks :)
