[14:21] <czajkowski> https://wiki.skynet.ie/Admin/SkynetMachines?action=show&redirect=Users%2FMachine+Names
[14:28] <czajkowski> akgraner: I can't promise, but this may tug at your apron strings  http://tc55travels.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-do-i-stop-my-babies-growing-up.html
[14:29]  * akgraner reads
[14:30] <maco2_> woah!  http://nextsprocket.com/
[14:31] <maco2_> it's for open source bounties
[14:31] <maco2_> you can say what you want done on open source software and how much you'll pay, then developers submit code, and you pick which one you want and pay them
[14:33] <akgraner> oh yeah - who was talking about that this weekend
[14:47]  * jussi01 prods at maco2_ ... is it alive?
[14:47] <maco2_> jussi01: whats up?
[14:48] <maco2_> i have most of my UI in existence now!
[14:48] <maco2_> and i can sort of make sense of qt4-designer now, though i think it's got a confusing interface
[14:48] <jussi01> maco2_: ahem... how do I know you are the real maco?
[14:48] <maco2_> because who else would answer like that?
[14:49] <jussi01> maco2_: just identify... ;)
[14:49]  * jussi01 hugs maco2_
[14:49] <maco2_> freenode wont let me /nick til i part #ubuntu-kernel
[14:49] <maco2_> 08:53 [Freenode] -!- maco2 #ubuntu-kernel Cannot change nickname while banned on channel
[14:49] <jussi01> youre banned?
[14:49] <maco2_> i assume this means -kernel is still in "omg youre not registered?!?! no sending to channel!" mode
[14:50] <maco2_> no i'm currently joined to -kernel
[14:50] <maco2_> i have to /part, /nick, identify, /join
[14:50] <maco2_> and i dont feel like it
[14:50] <czajkowski> maco2_: are you in ##unavailable
[14:50] <jussi01> hrm...
[14:50] <maco2_> czajkowski: no
[14:51] <czajkowski> maco2_: alternaively do /msg nickserv nick identify pwd
[14:51] <jussi01> -kernel is only +nt afaics
[14:51] <czajkowski> and that will sortit
[14:51] <jussi01> yup
[14:51] <jussi01> was about to suggest that
[14:51] <jussi01> you can be any nick and still identified
[14:51] <maco2_> nickserv just asked what the hell i was doing
[14:51] <jussi01> just do it in your status buffer, ok... :D
[14:52] <maco2_> telling it "maco identify <password>" just confused it
[14:52] <jussi01> /msg nickserv identify nick password
[14:52] <maco2_> ah ok that did it
[14:52] <jussi01> :)
[14:53] <maco2> oooh shiny
[14:53] <nigelb> welcome back maco2
[14:53] <nigelb> and be careful when you say shiny (brenda uses that nickname) :p
[14:53] <maco2> heh yeah i keep screwing her up with it
[14:54] <maco2> i have teh impression im not the only person to have picked up that word from firefly
[14:54] <nigelb> lol, I did that once or twice :p
[14:54] <maco2> because she said she really should have thought harder before using it as a nick
[14:54] <nigelb> haha, like the guy with nickname as nick
[14:54] <maco2> i usually say something like "oooh <that word>!" the next line is "<that word>: not you"
[14:55] <nigelb> hahaha
[14:55] <nigelb> price to pay when you use dictionary words as nicknames
[14:56] <czajkowski> <---- pretty unique just folks strugle with it
[14:57] <nigelb> lol, when you're not around, I pretty much refer to you by first name coz I can't spell czajkowski
[14:58] <maco2> you could just say "cz" and we'd know who you meant
[14:58] <czajkowski> Laura Cz works
[14:58] <czajkowski> :)
[14:59] <maco2> i think you're the only laura, so just laura does work rather well too
[14:59] <czajkowski> just in public I tune out to Laura, chances are there are other Laura folks around, so roaring Czajkowski works a lot better
[14:59] <maco2> er, around here, i emean
[14:59] <maco2> *mean
[14:59] <czajkowski> nope lauracowen
[14:59] <nigelb> (come to think of it, I might struggle with pronouncing your last name :p)
[15:00] <maco2> nigelb: you know the musician, tchaikovsky? like that
[15:01] <nigelb> maco2: and the first bit?
[15:01] <maco2> laura?
[15:01] <nigelb> lol, no
[15:01] <nigelb> the czaj part
[15:01] <maco2> that the tchai bit
[15:01] <czajkowski> Chi Kov Ski
[15:01] <maco2> just say it like "chai" as in tea
[15:02] <nigelb> I'd rather shout out laura
[15:02] <czajkowski> we'll see how responsive I am so
[15:02] <czajkowski> :p
[15:02] <jussi01> czajkowski: are you claiming to be a famous composer now? :D
[15:03] <czajkowski> jussi01: yes my dear of course I am
[15:03] <nigelb> czajkowski: thats like in the event that we do meet (which in itself is a next to impossible thing)
[15:05] <nigelb> maco2: you handy with python?
[15:06] <maco2> nigelb: nope
[15:07] <maco2> nigelb: i know very little python. i used to be able to do enough to write website scrapers
[15:07] <maco2> the project im working on now is pykde, but i havent actually learned to use it yet ;)
[15:07] <nigelb> maco2: um, apport hook.  wanted a little bit of help with masking some values ;)
[15:07] <maco2> popey: your blog "don't you know who i am?" tagline... "umm... elvis?"
[15:09] <popey> :) wondered how long before someone would notice that :)
[15:09] <nigelb> lol
[15:11] <maco2> popey: now you just need a pink & gold spaceship!
[15:12] <popey> ooookay
[15:13] <maco2> have you not read the hitchhiker's series?
[15:41] <nigelb> maco2: http://pastebin.com/XTrQLPGD what is the dumb thing I did here thats apparent to you
[15:41] <nigelb> I know its wrong, but I dont know *what* is wrong or how to correct it
[15:43] <nigelb> oh no! I scared her away :p
[16:37] <nigelb> jussi01: you around?
[17:53] <jussi01> hrm, they quit :(
