[11:12] <miha> hello folks, "napsy" (also in this channel) sent mail about LoCoBot for #ubuntu-si (slovenian ubuntu support channel). could anyone check status, if any? much appreciated, thx.
[11:12] <miha> it's been few days
[11:13] <jpds> miha: Which loco bot are you refering to ubot* or locolog?
[11:13] <miha> well locolog
[11:13] <miha> and ubot :D
[11:13] <miha> both logging and answering keywords in our language would be great
[11:13] <jpds> miha: For locolog, try poking #ubuntu-eu.
[11:14] <miha> thx
[11:15] <jpds> Let me think what I'll need to do for ubot.
[11:15] <miha> we tried our own 'ubot' but why reinventing the wheel :D
[11:16] <niko> !clones
[11:16] <niko> fail.
[11:16] <bazhang> botclone
[11:17] <jpds> *me adding a new database into one of the existing bots*
[11:17] <miha> btw, if anyone is interested in java bot that reads RSS/Atom feeds, let me know
[11:18] <miha> #newsjunkie for example, also on #ubuntu-si
[11:25] <miha> http://petition.stopsoftwarepatents.eu/
[11:25] <miha> oops sorry
[11:29] <jpds> miha: How do you say: "Hi, welcome to #ubuntu-si" in Slovenian?
[11:30] <miha> Živjo, dobrodošli na #ubuntu-si
[11:30] <miha> if there's encoding problem
[11:30] <ubot4> In #ubuntu-si, jpds said: !hi is <reply>Živjo, dobrodošli na #ubuntu-si
[11:30] <miha> Zivjo, dobrodosli na #ubuntu-si
[11:30] <miha> would work
[11:30] <jpds> Oh, come on.
[11:31] <miha> :D
[11:31] <miha> jpds believe me, i'm used to *everything*. had to recode latin1 to utf8 since php can ignore charset, jdbc cant :D
[11:31] <miha> and oscommerce has latin1 as default. it would be trivial if i knew that at start, but after 2 years i didnt really want to manually edit database :D
[11:33] <miha> see, we use latin2
[11:33] <miha> latin1 has about 3 chars different :D
[11:33] <jussi01> jpds: you need to make sure you remember to make it a channel specfic factoid
[11:34] <jpds> jussi01: No, I just feed it a different database.
[11:34] <jussi01> oh?
[11:35]  * jussi01 thought ubot4 was using the synced db
[11:35] <jpds> But it has separate databases for certain loco channels.
[11:35] <tsimpson> I made the database config variable channel-specific a while ago
[11:37] <jpds> jussi01: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/354975/
[11:38] <jussi01> yep yep...
[11:38]  * jpds /msgs miha,
[11:39]  * jussi01 doesnt see the difference in channel specific dbs or channel specific factoids, but meh. its really of no consequence is it
[11:39] <jpds> The channel specific DBs don't have any English factoids in them.
[11:39] <miha> btw, it's cool that ubuntu takes irc seriously. after all, irc is cool way for feedback. facebook/twitter leave too much personal trail :D
[11:40] <miha> jpds is there a way to get list of english database? i'd try to translate
[11:40] <jpds> miha: ubottu.com/
[11:41] <miha> jpds ok, thx... a translation page would be feature wish though... like wikipedia, everyone tries to copy from en.wikipedia.org :D
[15:04] <ubot4> In #ubuntu-si, marko-_- said: !miha is <reply> http://www.dawngrrl.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/WindowsLiveWriter/ItstrueIdonereaditonthemInternets_7FE6/fat_guy_in_girl_underwear5.jpg
[15:04] <jpds> ...
[15:05] <jpds> marko-_-: Please don't abuse the bot like that.
[15:06] <marko-_-> yeah, i know
[15:06] <marko-_-> i didn't knew
[15:06] <marko-_-> i thought it was just another random bot of miha
[15:06] <marko-_-> sorry.
[15:11] <miha> jpds i hope we can joke a bit?
[15:11] <miha> or must we be 100% serious? :D
[15:54] <jussi01> miha: note on the bot usage page it says please dont submit joke factoids ;)
[15:54] <jussi01> (we have enough work to do already)
[15:59] <miha> jussi01 i doubt you will translate back from slovenian language and we can manage ourselves, please?
[15:59] <miha> it's just short funny lines about channel regulars, they choose it
[16:00] <marko-_-> you hurt my feelings miha
[16:00] <tsimpson> you know this channel is logged publicly?
[16:00] <marko-_-> tsimpson, it's not about this channel
[16:00] <tsimpson> so any requests sent here will show up on search engines
[16:00] <marko-_-> and this is bad because...?
[16:01] <tsimpson> because this is not the image we would like to give to people searching for "Ubuntu IRC"
[16:02] <marko-_-> so asking if we could have 5 or 6 funny (they all agree) factoids which describe channel users on our small (10 users talking at most) channel
[16:02] <marko-_-> could hurt your reputation
[16:02] <marko-_-> i see.
[16:03] <tsimpson> when they are posted to publicly logged channels, yes
[16:03] <tsimpson> and replace "your" with "ubuntu's"
[16:04] <miha> you have a point, i'll move the fun to channel bot and keep ubuntu answers only
[16:04] <miha> sorry to bother you
[18:58] <pressenter> Good afternoob.
[18:58] <pressenter> I'm an op from #ubuntu-pl and we have a problem, cause our owner hasnt been showing like 4 or 5 months now and we pretty much cant do anything.
[18:58] <pressenter> Is there a way to do something with this, if we have no contact with the owner?
[19:12] <jussi01> pressenter: please write email explaining the suituation to the irc council list
[19:25] <pressenter> jussi01: Thanks, and do you maybe know the email whereto i can write?
[19:25] <jussi01> pressenter: "Ubuntu IRC Council"  irc-council at lists.ubuntu.com
[19:27] <pressenter> Ok, thank you very much.
[19:28] <topyli> hm. i can't see it listed there btw
[19:30] <Pici> where?
[19:31] <topyli> there it is https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/irc-council
[19:31] <topyli> not on lists.ubuntu.com
[19:31] <tsimpson> you don't need to subscribe to send an email to the address
[19:31] <Pici> Its not on the main page for some reason.  I remember poking someone about it, but looks like nothing got done about it.  The CC's list isn't there either.
[19:31] <Pici> tsimpson: nor can you.
[19:32] <tsimpson> Pici: nor can I what?
[19:32] <jussi01> No, its not on the main page because itss a private list
[19:32] <Pici> tsimpson: er, I mean random people can't subscribe to the irc-council list
[19:32] <jussi01> like all of the private lists.
[19:36] <topyli> to clarify, you can always send mail though
[20:47] <jpds> Pici: Lists aren't publically listed by default.
[20:49] <nhandler> However, I believe there is a setting to change that in the admincp for the list
[20:56] <jpds> nhandler: Nope.
[20:56] <topyli> it's not very secret though, you can find the address on the launchpad and wiki pages
[20:56] <topyli> if you find those, that is :)
[23:15] <elky> yeah. if you give a subscribe button, you'll get people try to subscribe
