[00:07] <evilGUI> Hello, I just changed my port from 6667 to 8001 and still can't join #ubuntu
[00:07] <nalioth> evilGUI: did you ask the nice robots to help you?
[00:08] <evilGUI> I did a while ago, I'll try again.
[00:08] <evilGUI> k, it works now thanks.
[04:23] <Bacta> Hi I've discovered I've been banned from #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:23] <Bacta> I've been in that channel for well over 12 hours and when I woke up I discovered I had been banned
[04:24] <elky> you'll have to ask nalioth why, he's the one who did it.
[04:24] <Bacta> I've PM'ed him and will wait and see
[04:24] <Bacta> But I've been a good boy :(
[04:24] <nalioth> Bacta: you were banned from before
[04:25] <Bacta> Yes but the ban was removed by someone and I was told if I behaved from now on I would be fine
[04:25] <nalioth> Bacta: no sir.  you had an active ban in the channel when i added your current one
[04:25] <Bacta> Then how was I able to join?
[04:25] <Bacta> Nothing about my identify has changed
[04:26] <Bacta> So the ban couldn't have been active
[04:26] <nalioth> a technical glitch
[04:26] <elky> nalioth, ah, he was able to get in, and i couldn't see his old ban last night when i checked on my way out of the door.
[04:26] <Bacta> Did I do anything in there during that time that would have warranted a ban?
[04:27] <elky> nalioth, it wasn't an intentional evade. he was misled by my sloppy checking.
[04:30] <nalioth> Bacta: enjoy
[04:30] <Bacta> Thanks nalioth, glad we got the cleared upo
[04:30] <Bacta> *up
[04:31] <elky> was there anything else you needed fromthis channel?
[04:31] <Bacta> No not really
[04:31] <Bacta> Enjoy your day :)\
[04:31] <elky> cya
[05:06] <nalioth> ladies and gentlemen, please attend to your bans in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:06] <maco> "attend to" = ?
[05:07] <nalioth> maco: if you've set any bans in -offtopic, please review them and remove as necessary
[05:08] <maco> oh i cant set bans in there, i was just confused about what "attend to" means in the context of your above conversation
[05:08] <maco> since elky said she didnt see a ban for him from before, i thought maybe some of the bans had gone missing
[05:10] <nalioth> maco: there is a HUGE number of bans in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:10] <nalioth> i'm quite sure 50% of them are no longer needed
[05:10] <maco> ah ok
[05:12] <maco> what is % in a ban string?
[05:13] <maco> i know foo!n=bar has foo as nick and bar is their usrname (or i= for their ident) but what about %foo!n=bar ?
[05:13] <nalioth> maco: it represents a +q or 'quiet ban'
[05:13] <maco> whats that do?
[05:13] <maco> mute?
[05:14] <maco> im looking at #kubuntu's bans
[05:14] <Myrtti> Yup
[05:14] <nalioth> maco: yes, %maco = mute
[05:16] <maco> ok thanks
[05:18] <nalioth> oh no, i'll bet nickrud did it
[05:18] <bazhang> wb nickrud !!
[05:20] <nickrud> hey, hi there all
[05:20] <Myrtti> Hello
[05:20] <nalioth> nickrud: are you responsible for all those bans in #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[05:21] <bazhang> heh
[05:21] <nickrud> figured I'd stop in at least every couple years. (seems a bit long to let us absentees float along :)
[05:21] <nickrud> nalioth, if I could, I'd make it unjoinable
[05:22] <nickrud> has it gotten worse?
[05:23] <nalioth> nickrud: nah, just ops leaving their bans to stack up
[05:23] <nickrud> I don't have ops there, so I can't be guilty (of that particular sin)
[05:23] <nalioth> awww, man - you caught on
[05:24] <Myrtti> Feel free to remove mine that are redundant - I cant for few more hours
[05:25] <nickrud> Flannel was urging me to help out there; I spent some time there and realized I didn't have the time. Or inclination. Then I found I had even less time, couldn't even maintain #ubuntu responsibilities
[05:25] <nickrud> You'll just have to readd them Myrtti
[05:25] <mneptok> any of my bans in -ot can be removed. i haven't idled there in ~6 months.
[05:26] <nalioth> nah, there's a lot of 'em that are no longer valid (IPs reset / etc)
[05:26] <nickrud> life's been good for everyone? Your new job still shiny, mneptok ?
[05:26] <mneptok> nickrud: it is
[05:26]  * Myrtti waits for the ok for going home from the doctor to
[05:27] <mneptok> nickrud: although next week involves a trip Majorca, where there have been bombings
[05:27] <Myrtti> s/to$//
[05:27] <nickrud> your odds are still good; the streets are windy so the blasts would be deflected or contained
[05:28] <nickrud> got to visit there a few decades ago. Lovely place
[05:32] <nickrud> crap, I show up and am wonderfully off topic immediately. Some things never change
[05:33] <mneptok> there are approved topics for -ops?!
[05:33] <nickrud> no, #ubuntu
[05:35] <nalioth> mneptok: we let you in here, don't we?
[05:35]  * nalioth runs
[05:43] <Myrtti> *yawn*
[06:20] <Myrtti> I cant understand why people complain hospital food is bad.
[06:22] <nalioth> because in most hospitals, it's 'low bidder supplied'
[06:23] <nickrud> and unspiced, to allow the most amount of people to eat the same stuff
[06:28] <bazhang> arleslie, how may we help you
[06:28] <arleslie> #ubuntu-bots, bestbots is having errors
[06:28] <arleslie> *bestbot
[06:28] <bazhang> arleslie, okay thanks for the tip
[06:30] <Myrtti> Well inform the
[06:30] <Myrtti> Person running it
[06:30] <Myrtti> We'll, even
[06:30] <bazhang> tsimpson, ? jussi01 ? not sure who that would be ^^
[06:30] <Myrtti> LjL
[06:31] <bazhang> aha
[06:31] <Myrtti> Afaik
[06:31] <tsimpson> yes, it's LjL's
[06:36] <nalioth> no issue with the bot
[06:36] <nalioth> the reporter was unfamiliar with it's usage
[06:37] <tsimpson> nothing we could do about it even if there were an error
[06:40] <Myrtti> Yup
[06:54] <maco> Myrtti: i complain about hospital food because i see vending machines full of sugar, salt, and artificial preservatives (but not actually food) in hospitals
[06:56] <maco> the one that's the transfer point for the buses i take to work...their cafeteria, at breakfast, serves white-flour bread & bagels, eggs made with cheese, sausage links, sausage patties, and fries. i thought hospitals were supposed to be places of health!  and here they are...serving cholesterol and refined carbs :(
[08:06] <ikonia> can someone please explain to my why bacta has been unbanned in -offtopic please?
[08:08] <Myrtti> He hasnt, he banevaded?
[08:09] <ikonia> I don't think he did it intentionally reading the backlog, however his bans have now been removed
[08:09] <Myrtti> By accident in his words
[08:09] <ikonia> reading elky's comments she didn't believe it was an intentional evade
[08:10] <ikonia> but that's beside the point, I'm curious to why his ban has been removed
[08:10] <ikonia> actually - I'll rephrase that, I'm not happy about it
[08:10] <Myrtti> Oh yeah someone wanted to clear some of the bans, I guess
[08:10] <ikonia> that's nonsense
[08:10] <Myrtti> ive not touched them though
[08:11] <maco> i think they decided that since he was behaving his ban could be removed
[08:11] <Myrtti> I doubt it
[08:11] <ikonia> unaccaptable
[08:14] <Myrtti> ikonia anything in the bt?
[08:16] <ikonia> it's been explained to me
[08:16] <Myrtti> Right
[08:16] <Myrtti> Ok
[08:17] <Myrtti> I wonder how crippled Id feel without my phone - now Im feeling just semiparalyzed with only my phone
[08:18] <elky> in other news, i went to buy food and came home with $300 knee-high boots.
[08:18] <ikonia> Myrtti: my E71 is back at nokia for repair after 2 nokia care centers broke it, I'm missing it
[08:18] <ikonia> elky: the right choice for any women
[08:19] <Myrtti> ikonia Im trying to convince myself I couldnt have brought laptop here
[08:19] <elky> ikonia, i'm uncertain of their edibility.
[08:19] <ikonia> Myrtti: I was bored in hospital, I was greatful when my laptop turned up, passed the time
[08:19] <ikonia> elky: no food = more money for dresses/shoes
[08:19] <ikonia> I know the rules
[08:20] <maco> ikonia: it also = fitting into smaller dresses
[08:20] <ikonia> maco: exactly, so need a new wardrobe
[08:20] <ikonia> in smug news, I've dropped a waist size :)
[08:21] <ikonia> I bought a new pair of pants yesteday
[08:21] <elky> ikonia, the gym hurting less now too?
[08:21] <ikonia> elky: no, it's actaully mroe
[08:21] <ikonia> more
[08:21] <elky> haha
[08:21] <ikonia> but I've upped the effort
[08:21] <Myrtti> There isnt enough poweroutlets...
[08:21] <ikonia> Myrtti: buy a hamster + wheel
[08:22] <ikonia> Myrtti: unplug the next door bed's heart monitor
[08:22] <ikonia> he can do without it
[08:22] <maco> i need to start marking up my clothes with chalk and get out the needles
[08:23] <ikonia> maco: making them smaller ?
[08:23] <maco> my waist was about 10 inches (25cm) larger when i bought most of my clothing
[08:23] <maco> so now all my skirts are falling off :P
[08:23] <Myrtti> I got sickleave for the next week and Im getting out today \o/
[08:23] <ikonia> Myrtti: that's a hell of a loss
[08:23] <ikonia> oops
[08:23] <ikonia> maco: ^^
[08:23] <maco> ikonia: thats over the course of about 5 years
[08:23] <ikonia> Myrtti: take it easy at home then
[08:24] <Myrtti> The nurses want me to help as translator though ;-)
[08:24] <ikonia> maco: that's still a good drop
[08:25] <maco> shopping was much easier back then though :( i had a more common shape (36-36-36 :P)
[08:25] <ikonia> I need to go and prep the power drill, back later
[08:25] <maco> have fun
[08:27] <bazhang> someone thought putting a fork bomb in the channel was good fun
[08:31] <nalioth> maco: you were a cube?
[08:31] <bazhang> charming fellow in PM
[09:02] <maco> nalioth: hehe
[11:52] <Myrtti> home ♥
[12:04]  * Tm_T huggles Myrtti 
[12:09] <guntbert> HI, according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots#Looking%20for%20Factoids search accepts wildcards. But "search chess" yields 3dchess (because of the word 'chess' in the fact, I suppose) whereas "search *chess" yields nothing. As it seems to be easy to get correct results still, I suggest that "someone" remove the line "You can use * as wildcard."
[12:29] <tsimpson> guntbert: removed, thanks
[12:33] <guntbert> tsimpson: ok and bye
[15:03] <bazhang> haha
[15:03] <ikonia> ?
[15:04] <bazhang> the wrong channel guy
[15:04] <ikonia> ah
[15:10] <ikonia> bazhang: ?
[15:10] <bazhang> ban-dodging sdf the bot abuse guy
[15:10] <ikonia> oooh
[15:11] <ikonia> nice eyeballs
[15:18] <bernardlychan> hi
[15:19] <bernardlychan> woops wrong one sorry
[15:19] <ikonia> ok, bye
[15:20] <tsimpson> how strange
[15:20] <ikonia> not impressed with the stupid part message
[15:20] <ikonia> he did that to show me
[15:20] <bazhang> whoa
[15:20] <bazhang> yep
[15:20] <ikonia> he did it in #ubuntu but I ignored it and he got the "wrong" channel
[15:22] <ikonia> he then joined and parted #ubuntu with a clean part message to see if he was banned
[15:22] <ikonia> he's trying to provoke another ban
[17:41] <maco> oh god
[17:41] <maco> there's obamahatesUSA
[17:41] <maco> obamaIsKool
[17:42] <maco> oh. one guy. he's not NewWorldOrder
[17:46] <maco> *grumble* everyone put on their skirts and started yelping
[17:46] <maco> as if only skirt-wearers ever whine
[18:36]  * Mamarok doesn't wear skirts
[19:03]  * Seeker` does
[19:03] <Seeker`> err....
[19:03] <Seeker`> i mean...erm...forget that
[19:25] <Mamarok> Seeker`: swcottish ancenstry? The it's called a kilt, not a skirt
[19:36] <mneptok> no. it's called a "ef ya thenk ahm dressed layk a geerl, ell gev ya a Glusswayjin kess!"
[19:37] <Mamarok> hm
[20:13] <Mamarok> how do I tell a guy to look for himself and read stuff and not expect us to hold hands and do spoonfeeding for him without violating a guideline?
[20:15] <ikonia> Mamarok: check out the docs on project $X you'll find you'll get a lot further if you grasp the basics, and people have a lot more time for other people who put in a bit of effort themselves
[20:15] <mneptok> helping yourself a bit is usually a good way to ensure you get help from others.
[20:16] <Mamarok> well, that xsebx guy in #kubuntu is driving me nuts, he expects me to tell him everything without opening his own eyes *sigh*
[20:16] <mneptok> so walk away
[20:17] <ikonia> allow me
[20:27] <nalioth> Mamarok: point him to the docs
[21:21] <Mez> Seeker`: Knee length skirts I hope?
[21:24] <Seeker`> me? I don't wear skirts. Where did you get that idea?
[22:30] <Flannel> Ah fun, recruiting time again.
[22:52] <niko> i think windows-rules need a quiet
[22:52] <niko> i do sorry.
[23:01] <niko> unquiet him after a pm
