| Myrtti | right | 06:17 |
| Myrtti | I managed to catch him copypasting an email to the channel about how to get the ubuntu-myanmar community to himself | 06:17 |
| Flannel | to himself? | 06:18 |

| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu-ops! | 12:05 |

| Myrtti | brilliant | 13:03 |
| Myrtti | MenZa: condolences | 13:04 |

| jussi01 | yök | 13:31 |
| Myrtti | yeah well | 13:31 |
| Myrtti | he just did ask his question couple of times in #ubuntu | 13:32 |
| Myrtti | it just was too long in one line, and got cut off. | 13:32 |
| Myrtti | irony++ | 13:32 |
| MenZa | lol | 13:32 |
| MenZa | Wasn't the catb.org link in the factoid at one point? | 13:32 |
| MenZa | I remember seeing it used extensively | 13:32 |
| MenZa | It could've been different sources, but it is a fairly good article. | 13:33 |
| elky | aw man, we're giving ops to just *anyone* these days! | 13:36 |
| elky | :P | 13:36 |
| MenZa | :P | 13:36 |
| MenZa | Hihi, Melissa. | 13:36 |
| elky | hihi lasse | 13:37 |
| jussi01 | MenZa: huh? | 13:43 |
| * Myrtti gives jussi01 a cookie | 13:43 | |
| MenZa | jussi01: JonathanElli1's factoid edit submission. | 13:43 |
| MenZa | And my English is, yet again, playing up. s/different sources/a different source/ | 13:44 |
| MenZa | I blame the low caffeine levels in my system. | 13:44 |
| jussi01 | MenZa: I was referencing this: [15:34:42] <MenZa> "Niggemann" has to be one of the worst names, ever. | 13:44 |
| jussi01 | where did that come from? | 13:45 |
| MenZa | jussi01: the catb.org link. "Kai Niggemann" contributed, apparently. | 13:45 |
| jussi01 | o.O | 13:46 |
| Pici | I didnt see a link o.O | 13:47 |
| MenZa | Pici: in *here*. JonathanElli1's edit suggestion to !ask. | 13:47 |
| MenZa | I tend to get lost in whatever links I click. | 13:47 |
| Pici | MenZa: oh.. | 13:47 |
| gord | hi :) | 14:09 |
| Pici | Hi! | 14:10 |
| bazhang | w00t | 14:13 |
| MenZa | \o gord | 14:19 |
| jussi01 | Just so everyone has noticed, we have added gord and MenZa to the ops list in #ubuntu-offtopic. please make them feel welcome and help them if they need it :) | 14:19 |
| Myrtti | gord: commiserations | 14:19 |
| * MenZa thinks Myrtti has a /newopohdear alias. | 14:19 | |
| Myrtti | MenZa: no, it's just ungrateful job and I can't really fake my opinion that the job has more bad than good days :-< | 14:20 |
| Pici | Well, hopefully our new recruits can change that | 14:21 |
| Myrtti | it would be brilliant if the kids knew how to behave without any ops ;-) | 14:21 |
| * MenZa pets Myrtti | 14:22 | |
| MenZa | Alas, we don't live in a perfect world, Myrtti. | 14:22 |
| Myrtti | MenZa: which is why I'm the childlike lithmus paper | 14:22 |
| Myrtti | "wouldn't it be brilliant if" | 14:22 |
| topyli | "wouldn't it be nice to get on with me neighbours" | 14:23 |
| gord | "wouldn't it be nice if i had a cake" | 14:23 |
| bazhang | !cake | 14:24 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cake | 14:24 |
| Tm_T | kids... | 14:24 |
| bazhang | aww | 14:24 |
| jussi01 | !appdb | 14:26 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 14:26 |
| jussi01 | grr sorry for the random factoid | 14:26 |
| Myrtti | bazhang, noticed that you were one of the people who told jonathan__(?) join ##windows for help - what his question might have also been was "how do I restore GRUB after installing Windows on my dualboot", he just didn't get that far before people jumped to saying he should ask in ##windows | 14:32 |
| bazhang | Myrtti, as was Pici | 14:33 |
| Myrtti | then both of you | 14:33 |
| Myrtti | this is imo on the same level of question as "how do I install ftp server" or "how do I compile C code" | 14:34 |
| Myrtti | you need to ask why people are asking before giving them any answers | 14:34 |
| Myrtti | in most cases, people who want to install ftp servers just want to share files, which could be done with sftp or some other secure method | 14:35 |
| bazhang | right. | 14:35 |
| Pici | To be honest, I didn't actually read his question. | 14:35 |
| Pici | Guess thats what I get for assuming that everyone else was correct in thinking that it was an offtopic question. | 14:35 |
| Myrtti | Pici: "I need help installing windows" | 14:35 |
| Myrtti | which may, or may not be offtopic | 14:36 |
| bazhang | he mentioned he had ubuntu and wanted to reinstall xp. nary a thing about installing grub | 14:36 |
| Myrtti | bazhang: nary? | 14:36 |
| Pici | Myrtti: just a antiquated way of saying 'not' | 14:37 |
| Myrtti | a | 14:37 |
| Myrtti | anyway, it may just be that if he had known to ask correctly, reinstalling grub would've been the correct question he should've asked | 14:38 |
| Myrtti | or was what he really meant | 14:38 |
| Myrtti | but because people jumped into the conclusion that his case goes to ##windows, he got told off by several people, got frustrated, and /parted with some harsh language | 14:38 |
| bazhang | s/antiquated/formal/ | 14:38 |
| * genii makes more coffee | 14:40 | |
| bazhang | told off? honestly? '##windows please' | 14:41 |
| Pici | bazhang: I think she means he got told off *in* ##windows | 14:41 |
| Pici | or I could be mistaken | 14:42 |
| bazhang | Pici, I think it was the xy#$%^ the mint people always help me | 14:42 |
| Myrtti | bazhang: that was after he was told by about 6 people to go to ##windows | 14:42 |
| Pici | Everyone makes mistakes, even operators. | 14:43 |
| bazhang | Myrtti, I don't feel I made a mistake here. | 14:44 |
| bazhang | asking politely to go to another channel is not 'jumping on someone' | 14:44 |
| Myrtti | bazhang: I'm not saying you individually did a mistake | 14:45 |
| Pici | Myrtti: Did you talk to him, or are we just assuming that he needed grub help? | 14:45 |
| bazhang | Myrtti, thanks for pointing it out; I will be sure to ask carefully next time to allay any possible miscommunications/etc | 14:46 |
| Myrtti | Pici: I'm telling what I saw, what it felt like to me, and what might have been the cause of his question, and a reason to his frustration | 14:46 |
| Myrtti | Pici: so in short, we're assuming | 14:46 |
| Myrtti | and btw, he quit just when I asked him the question on #ubuntu | 14:48 |
| Myrtti | so I didn't have a chance to get a reply | 14:48 |
| topyli | windows was involved. see where it leads! | 14:49 |
| Myrtti | bazhang: thanks, that was all I really wanted to do, to point out what might have been the root cause of it all - not pointing any finger at you (apart the fact that I didn't notice Pici's nick, otherwise I would've included him as well from the start) | 14:49 |
| Myrtti | just sharing my thoughts on it | 14:50 |
| bazhang | topyli, haha | 14:50 |
| bazhang | as always appreciated Myrtti | 14:50 |
| ubottu | McPeter called the ops in #ubuntu () | 15:14 |
| Pici | Lots of French people today | 16:51 |
| Myrtti | that's one of the old ones | 16:52 |
| Myrtti | or feels like it | 16:53 |
| Pici | guess so | 16:57 |
| Myrtti | yup, same guy | 16:57 |
| Myrtti | [18:52] [freenode] ~~~Boob_ [n=Boob@42.158.86-79.rev.gaoland.net] | 16:58 |
| Myrtti | [18:53] [freenode] ~~~Julien__ [n=Jullien@79.86.158.42] | 16:58 |
| Myrtti | his typo gave him away | 16:58 |
| Myrtti | aha, he's on new ip | 17:26 |
| MenZa | Guys, would you consider NakidGirl_With_I an offensive nickname? | 18:04 |
| MenZa | I don't see a major problem with it, but a user seems to. I'm looking for some opinions here. | 18:05 |
| jussi01 | MenZa: would you put it in front of an 8year old? | 18:08 |
| MenZa | I don't see the nick itself being offensive in any way. | 18:08 |
| MenZa | Of course, I may just be hardened. | 18:09 |
| MenZa | Hence the request for second opinions :) | 18:09 |
| jussi01 | aye, | 18:09 |
| MenZa | Your call, jussi01? Should I politely ask them to change their nickname in a /query? | 18:09 |
| Tm_T | MenZa: you can ask even if its not offensive (: | 18:13 |
| Tm_T | I do all the time | 18:13 |
| MenZa | For what purpose, Tm_T? | 18:14 |
| Tm_T | sometimes I just ask if I think it could be/get offensive | 18:15 |
| MenZa | Ah. | 18:15 |
| MenZa | I'll do that, then. | 18:15 |
| Tm_T | no harm asking | 18:16 |
| Tm_T | if result is "no" nothing lost | 18:16 |
| MenZa | indeed | 18:17 |
| MenZa | Tm_T, jussi01: Took a while for her to respond, but she says she'll change it next login session. Makes sense, as she's got about three or four tickets going in #ubuntu right now, so it'd get confusing if she decided to change it right now. | 18:30 |
| Tm_T | aye | 18:31 |
| Tm_T | if he likes to change her nick, then all good, I'm not easily pushing people to do that though | 18:32 |
| Tm_T | he/she/it | 18:32 |
| MenZa | indeed | 18:33 |
| Pici | ugh | 19:08 |
| Myrtti | I can't believe what I'm seeing | 19:08 |
| Myrtti | I'll start kicking people on first sight | 19:09 |
| Myrtti | could someone more impartial than me ask her to change her nick and refrain from making "I'm naked" comments | 19:11 |
| Myrtti | I'm not really coping with her nick anymore | 19:12 |
| Myrtti | also, has anyone talked to popey lately about the fate of ubuntu tweak? | 19:15 |
| Myrtti | wasn't he going to discuss it over with the creator? | 19:15 |
| Pricey | Myrtti: who where? | 19:16 |
| Pici | NakidGirl_With_I | 19:16 |
| Pricey | Myrtti: ah, nakidgrl_blah? | 19:16 |
| Myrtti | yes | 19:16 |
| Myrtti | I'm grinding my teeth to sand after the "I'm naked" "omg pics" convo | 19:17 |
| Myrtti | she did tell them politely to get lost, but still | 19:17 |
| Pici | 'she' | 19:17 |
| Pricey | Myrtti: I've just looked at backlog, nothing wrong with her conduct is there? Just the name, and therefore the responses they're getting? | 19:17 |
| Myrtti | whatever. I'll go to bed so I don't need to witness this and you don't need to do a thing | 19:19 |
| genii | Pici: Damn, beat me to the !ot | 19:46 |
| Pici | Myrtti beat me to the no politics | 19:47 |
| Myrtti | yeah, couldn't sleep yet | 19:47 |
| Pricey | move to PM | 19:48 |
