| akgraner | :-/ yep | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| elky | There's a special place in the deepest reaches of hell reserved for that man. Really. | 00:07 |
| IdleOne | sam? | 00:08 |
| elky | IdleOne, no less. | 00:10 |
| elky | IdleOne, oh, you don't knwo who sam is. | 00:10 |
| IdleOne | elky: no idea | 00:10 |
| IdleOne | ;/ | 00:11 |
| IdleOne | :/ | 00:11 |
| elky | a faux journalist who works for itwire.com. he's probably best described with a word I discovered via jdub: trollumnist | 00:11 |
| IdleOne | i guess he is a jerk | 00:11 |
| elky | that's putting it mildly, but yes. | 00:12 |
| valorie | what did he post, elky? | 00:17 |
| elky | I'm PMing the link to those who ask, who haven't found it via the itwire.com front page. | 00:18 |
| valorie | thanks! | 00:19 |
| valorie | geez, a FOSS gossip columnist | 00:21 |
| valorie | I guess we really are growing | 00:21 |
| elky | oh he's been around for like forever | 00:21 |
| elky | people allege he used to be good, but um, I believe his fu has slipped | 00:21 |
| IdleOne | well I read the article. First time I ever read anything from him and I am not familiar with Jono's comments or elky's blog post Sam is referring to. Seems to me like he is probably a jackass | 00:24 |
| elky | he's really no more a journalist than roy schetzowitz is. these days, his research is approximately on par quality wise. | 00:25 |
| valorie | :( | 00:26 |
| valorie | hopefully people ignore the acid | 00:26 |
| valorie | anyway, dinner..... | 00:26 |
| elky | if you go through his other writings, you can find the piece last week in which he decreed lucid unfit because "sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" complained about lack of root for the second part of that command. | 00:27 |
| IdleOne | well if he understood what && does he may not complain | 00:28 |
| elky | he blamed the man pages for lying to him iirc | 00:29 |
| IdleOne | && if and when and only when the previous command completes run following command | 00:29 |
| IdleOne | the following command being an sudo command should ask for auth imho | 00:30 |
| IdleOne | s/an/a | 00:30 |
| elky | yes, but that's not how "ive been using debian for fifty million years" genius boy interpreted it. | 00:31 |
| elky | (*not actually real quote, but sure as heck real attitude) | 00:32 |
| elky | anyway, i'm tired of talking about him, lets move on | 00:32 |
| IdleOne | elky if I was you I wouldn't waste any more energy on it. | 00:32 |
| IdleOne | heh | 00:32 |
| IdleOne | you type faster then I do :P | 00:32 |
| IdleOne | ok 3 things left to do today: 1) call the kids 2) eat something 3) go to sleep | 00:33 |
| IdleOne | I'll be back later :P | 00:33 |
| * pleia2 hugs elky | 04:54 | |
| elky | pleia2, speeeecial place in hell for that guy, srsly. | 05:07 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I don't think anyone takes him seriously anymore | 05:08 |
| elky | my response to him was intended to make him seem as jackassy as possible, since I /knew/ he was going to do this. | 05:09 |
| elky | hence it was not a plead, it was a stern directive. | 05:10 |
| valorie | once he gets predictable, he'll lose readers even with his pot-stirring | 05:10 |
| elky | oh, he's been losing readers since he before he lambasted the intern that swore in a blog post in the direction of stallman | 05:11 |
| elky | and his recent outburst at matt garrett for quoting him... hilarious | 05:12 |
| elky | but srsly, his best so far has to be the sudo gaffe late last week | 05:12 |
| rww | I rarely see positive things in the comments on his articles. He doesn't have readers because people think he's a good journalist, he has readers because he generates controversy. | 05:12 |
| rww | elky: His reply in the article's comments makes no sense :( | 05:13 |
| elky | oh, he has a few fans. one tried to use my blog comments to spamzor his own blog around | 05:13 |
| dholbach | good morning | 08:11 |

| Pendulum | pleia2: possibly (depending on what sort of shape I'm in) | 20:28 |
| pleia2 | no problem, if you're not available I'll just toss my ideas in an email and we can go from there :) | 20:29 |
| pleia2 | regarding t-shirts, this was created a while ago: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Ideas/TShirtDesigns | 22:19 |
| nhandler | pleia2: You might want to update the design to fit in with the new theme a bit more | 22:38 |
| pleia2 | none of these are my designs :) they are from last year | 22:38 |
| nhandler | Ok | 22:39 |
