[01:50] <Flannel> Howdy th0r, how can we help you today?
[01:51] <th0r> do you guys need someone to complain about MyNameIsLuca?
[01:51] <Flannel> We don't need a complaint, but a headsup if no one's caught it is alway... I suppose I won't finish that
[02:37] <Flannel> Anyone ever heard anything about #ubuntu-signpost?
[02:39] <nhandler> Flannel: That is a project to help point people in the right direction to find answers to their questions
[02:39] <nhandler> There was discussion about it on the ubuntu-doc list
[02:39] <Flannel> The channel doesn't seem to exist yet, but there's a wikipage directing people there
[02:48] <nhandler> The signpost is still being developed. However, it does look like #ubuntu-signpost is the correct channel. You can try talking to Andrew Sayers about getting it properly registered and setup
[02:50] <Flannel> Oh, I'm not too worried about it, just noticed that alis and chanserv know nothing of it
[02:55] <nhandler> Flannel: That is because it isn't registered ;)
[03:38] <nalioth> strange that it is not found - there's poeple in it
[03:38] <nalioth> and people, too
[03:40] <innociv> I was sent to #ubuntu-read-topic after I already changed my port and wasn't having problems
[03:40] <innociv> the test me fails
[09:27] <Flannel> "everything looks garbled" right.
[14:09] <Bacta> Hi I would like to discuss my ban in #ubuntu-social
[14:10] <elky> there is no such channel.
[14:10] <Bacta> sorry, #ubuntu-offtopic rather
[14:11] <elky> what aspect of the ban would you like to discuss?
[14:11] <Bacta> firstly I can't remember how I got it
[14:12] <Bacta> Can you please refresh my memory?
[14:14] <elky> Bacta, you decided it was funny to join with the nick "Abortionist" and offer "free abortions"
[14:14] <Bacta> Oh that
[14:15] <elky> yes. that.
[14:15] <Bacta> That was pretty dumb of me
[14:15] <elky> it was, yes.
[14:16] <elky> You have a history of that kind of behaviour.
[14:16] <Bacta> Yeah
[14:16] <Bacta> I actually quit trolling last weekend
[14:17] <elky> You've promised this so many times in the past.
[14:19] <Bacta> We might oneday be friends if I stop trolling :)
[14:20] <elky> Bacta, why "if"?
[14:21] <Bacta> Sorry, should be "now i have"
[14:21] <elky> Bacta, what is there to make us believe that you really have quit this time?
[14:21] <Bacta> Do you have anything to do with linuxchix?
[14:21] <Bacta> I try elky, problem is I suffer from adhd
[14:22] <Bacta> I do stupid things when I'm not on the meds
[14:22] <elky> Bacta, so do i.
[14:22] <Bacta> Really?
[14:22] <elky> yes.
[14:22] <elky> minus the hyperactivity.
[14:23] <Mamarok> Bacta: this is the oldest bad excuse we know of, I have ADS too, so...
[14:23] <Bacta> Whole different illness with the hyperactivity
[14:23] <elky> Bacta, actually, it's not.
[14:23] <Bacta> Are you constantly in motion?
[14:24] <elky> Bacta, my brain is, my body isnt.
[14:24] <Mamarok> not at all, the hiperactivity just becomes less prominent in adults
[14:24] <elky> Bacta, ADD/ADHD do not impair your ability to separate right from wrong.
[14:25] <Bacta> Mamarok: Not for me
[14:25] <Bacta> elky: I wouldn't go out and kill someone
[14:25] <Bacta> As an example
[14:25] <Mamarok> Bacta: well, then you should get correct treatment first
[14:26] <Bacta> I'm on concerta
[14:26] <Bacta> But it doesn't work very well :(
[14:26] <elky> Bacta, we cannot grant exceptions for bad behaviour for any reason. if we grant it for one, we have to grant it for all reasons. I don't think you want to see what that would be like.
[14:27] <elky> pmatulis, hi, we'll be with you soon, ok?
[14:27] <Bacta> Yeah I'm not expecting you to unban me
[14:27] <Bacta> Just trying to explain why I'm like this sometimes
[14:28] <elky> Bacta, ok then. is there anything else then?
[14:28] <Bacta> I'm really trying hard
[14:28] <pmatulis> elky: i'm all good
[14:28] <Bacta> Yes do you have anything to do with linuxchix?
[14:28] <Bacta> Everytime I logon to their server I get reported to my ISP
[14:28] <elky> Bacta, i realise that, but you need to get yourself a proper management plan.
[14:28] <jussi01> !idle | pmatulis
[14:29] <elky> Bacta, there is no connection between Ubuntu channels on Freenode, and the linuxchix server.
[14:29] <pmatulis> jussi01: good to know
[14:29] <Bacta> I found a log of you talking about me
[14:30] <elky> Bacta, i'm sure you did. this channel, however, has no influence over that server.
[14:30] <Bacta> Ok
[14:30] <Bacta> So are you able to give me a timeline on this ban or will I just have to wait it out?
[14:31] <elky> Bacta, you'll just have to wait until we see a drastic improvement in your behaviour. We see you in other places on the network, and we use that to judge whether you have really stopped trolling.
[14:32] <elky> this includes in #ubuntu-artwork.
[14:33] <Bacta> oh snap
[14:35] <elky> Bacta, your local community health center should have information on managing ADD-related conditions, and maybe even support groups. Also consider seeing a nutritionist. Avoiding caffeine and excess sugar will also help.
[14:36] <Bacta> Oh the sugar and caffeine is all that gets me through my days :)
[14:36] <elky> It is probably what is getting you in trouble, too.
[14:36] <Bacta> wow
[14:36] <Bacta> health advice on an ubuntu chan :) full service ftw!
[14:37] <elky> no, this isn't health advice. this is 'where to find health advice' advice
[14:38] <elky> you're not the first geek in history to have an imbalance, some of us have been there, done that.
[14:38] <Bacta> an imbalance?
[14:38] <elky> your brain is one big chemical reaction.
[14:39] <Bacta> true
[14:39] <Bacta> Hanz Reiser had a big one :P
[14:41] <elky> that is not really an appropriate comparison
[14:42] <elky> Bacta, is there anything further you want to discuss in here?
[14:42] <Bacta> Not really
[14:42] <Bacta> Better go before I get kicked
[14:42] <elky> ok then, you know the drill.
[14:47] <bazhang> crosspost ftl
[14:49] <elky> eh?
[14:49] <bazhang> zhxk`
[14:50] <elky> ah
[14:51] <elky> was avoiding that particular situation. only had enough sanity points for one troll tonight
[14:51] <jussi01> elky: bed for you!
[14:52] <elky> yes, i know
[14:52] <Pici> And you certainly went thorugh them all...
[14:53] <elky> i really should go get myself properly diagnosed one day :P
[16:58] <Pici> hrm @ -offtopic
[17:04] <stew> bazhang: where is he crossposting?
[17:04] <Pici> stew: was to #freenode, #kubuntu, and #ubuntu at least.
[17:05] <stew> is this about grub options and runlevels?
[17:05] <Pici> It was.
[17:06] <Pici> But that was nearly 2 hours ago
[17:08]  * stew msgs
[18:28] <Flannel> ikonia: That's not him?
[18:28] <Pici> Who was that?
[18:28] <Flannel> that's root, he was .au
[18:28] <Flannel> er, sorry
[18:28] <Flannel> you banned someone who wasn't the guy you kicked
[18:28] <ikonia> he's unmuted
[18:28] <ikonia> the correct guy was kicked
[18:28] <Flannel> right
[18:28] <ikonia> auto-bleh lagged for some reason
[21:03] <Flannel> The FF thing just got to /., so stay aware of trolls/whatevers
[21:21] <ikonia> which FF thing ?
[21:21]  * ikonia is out of the loop
[21:30] <popey> ikonia: bug 402767
[21:30] <ikonia> ahh
[21:32] <Nafallo> bah. everyone should be using vimperator anyway.
