| paultag | :) | 03:26 |
| czajkowski | Good Morning :) | 10:28 |
| duanedesign | good morning | 10:34 |
| * nigelb waves to cz | 10:40 | |
| nigelb | gah, czajkowski | 10:40 |
| nigelb | morning duanedesign, rather frightfully early today ? | 10:40 |
| duanedesign | nigelb: not to bad | 10:55 |
| duanedesign | 5 am | 10:55 |
| czajkowski | why so early | 10:55 |
| duanedesign | i just like to get up early. | 10:56 |
| duanedesign | :) | 10:56 |
| Pendulum | hiya | 13:22 |
| Pendulum | nigelb: only 90%? | 13:25 |
| nigelb | Pendulum: yeah. I need to go submit it. | 13:26 |
| Pendulum | ah | 13:26 |
| Pendulum | so it's all the stuff you can do now | 13:26 |
| nigelb | (a) I got lazy today. (b) Every time I stepped out, it started raining. | 13:26 |
| nigelb | Once I submit it, it takes like 2 weeks | 13:26 |
| nigelb | I'll probably take a day off on tuesday to do it. | 13:27 |
| nigelb | I wonder which blog popey was talking about | 18:57 |
| highvoltage | nigelb: what did he say? | 18:58 |
| popey | http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/dude-youre-35-year-old-with-neck-beard.html | 18:58 |
| highvoltage | ah, *that* one | 18:58 |
| nigelb | when he said "he'd rather gouge his eyes out with a rusty spoon" | 18:58 |
| czajkowski | I see he removed his post/copy of it from planet Ubuntu | 18:58 |
| highvoltage | yeah that's been all over the ubuntu twitter/dentisphere this morning | 18:58 |
| popey | he pasted it to the planet!? | 18:59 |
| czajkowski | yup | 18:59 |
| popey | jeeez | 18:59 |
| czajkowski | it's been removed about an hour now or so | 18:59 |
| czajkowski | possibly two seeing as I've been away actually | 18:59 |
| czajkowski | Not really what I'd expect to read on the planet tbh | 18:59 |
| czajkowski | http://humphreybc.wordpress.com/2010/08/08/dude-youre-a-35-year-old-with-a-neck-beard/ was on the planet | 19:00 |
| * nigelb votes blacklisting | 19:03 | |
| * vish silently removes nigelb vote ;p | 20:10 | |
| vish | popey: topyli's comment was nice and to the point! :) | 20:12 |
| pleia2 | popey: thanks for updating the sounder description :) | 20:16 |
| pleia2 | that list makes me facepalm frequently, but somehow the pedanticism of some of the members has kinda grown on me, they're such characters | 20:17 |
| czajkowski | great commen from zooko http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/dude-youre-35-year-old-with-neck-beard.html#comment-67017538 | 21:00 |
| paultag | Oh wtf | 21:13 |
| paultag | I'm a 21 year old with a neck-beard | 21:13 |
| paultag | haters gana hate | 21:13 |
| * AlanBell is now a little bit tempted to grow a neck beard | 21:15 | |
| czajkowski | akgraner: clearly women dont count in his books we don't have beards | 21:16 |
| paultag | do it! :) | 21:16 |
| AlanBell | paultag: I am 35 too | 21:17 |
| paultag | Oh man! | 21:17 |
| paultag | that's perfect AlanBell! | 21:17 |
| AlanBell | sometimes I want to help Ben to be a better person, other times I just want to rip his arms off and slap him about with the soggy ends | 21:18 |
| czajkowski | AlanBell: see that;s the dad in you | 21:18 |
| czajkowski | help a boy grow | 21:18 |
| czajkowski | not all boys grow up | 21:18 |
| * czajkowski mutters | 21:18 | |
| * paultag waves | 21:19 | |
| AlanBell | http://twitter.com/humphreybc definitely leaning towards the arms option at the moment | 21:20 |
| * cjohnston cant grow a beard | 21:44 | |
| AlanBell | I think everyone who can should turn up to UDS with a neck beard | 21:45 |
| paultag | +1 | 21:45 |
| cjohnston | I could try for that | 21:45 |
| paultag | Oh! And get a picture of Ben as Che on an acid wash T | 21:46 |
| AlanBell | neck wigs could be provided for the genetically neck-hair challenged | 21:46 |
| cjohnston | I found out yesterday I'm on call for a trial the entire week of UDS | 21:46 |
| cjohnston | and not jury duty.. to testify | 21:46 |
| cjohnston | boo! | 21:46 |
| cjohnston | I'm gonna try to get outta it since im on vacation | 21:47 |
| cjohnston | and its for work | 21:47 |
| vish | heh , upstreams are pissed at that post! | 22:08 |
| AlanBell | not surprised | 22:08 |
| jcastro | I have a neckbeard! | 22:08 |
| jcastro | tbh the post was tl;dr for me | 22:08 |
| vish | now that was removed from the planet they are questioning " i didn't see the post removed that called us (gnome icon theme maitainers) idiots " | 22:09 |
| AlanBell | vish: where? | 22:09 |
| vish | had to mention the OMG and planet are on same | 22:09 |
| jcastro | vish: ah, slippery slope | 22:10 |
| vish | s/on/not | 22:10 |
| jcastro | didn't he have some interview where he mentioned macking on ladies or something? | 22:10 |
| AlanBell | yup, that was last week | 22:10 |
| vish | jcastro: yeah , that line was removed | 22:10 |
| jcastro | classy! | 22:11 |
| czajkowski | jcastro: tl;dr ? | 22:11 |
| vish | AlanBell: the gnome icons post was one of an earlier post on OMG , iirc that was joey | 22:11 |
| jcastro | czajkowski: "too long; didn't read" | 22:11 |
| czajkowski | jcastro: ahh:) thank you | 22:11 |
| jcastro | I think part of ben's problem is that he's full of hopes and dreams. | 22:11 |
| jcastro | He hasn't been using linux long enough to be a beaten down piece of pulp | 22:12 |
| vish | lol! | 22:12 |
| czajkowski | jcastro: It's not even that, he just is young immature and lacks cop on and respect, that post insults Many many people | 22:12 |
| AlanBell | jcastro: he also has another 15 years to grow a neckbeard | 22:12 |
| jcastro | I don't think he'll ever grow a neckbeard | 22:13 |
| jcastro | you can tell | 22:13 |
| AlanBell | I can see that post as being rather damaging in terms of perception of Ubuntu by upstreams | 22:14 |
| jcastro | is omg!ubuntu on an ubuntu.com domain? | 22:15 |
| AlanBell | no | 22:15 |
| AlanBell | it is omgubuntu.co.uk | 22:15 |
| jcastro | right | 22:15 |
| jcastro | so like, why is ubuntu in the name? etc. | 22:16 |
| AlanBell | good question | 22:16 |
| czajkowski | its a fan base for Ubuntu, but not really much fo a fan when it posts shite like that | 22:16 |
| vish | and some supporting such posts :s | 22:17 |
| AlanBell | czajkowski: it is an add supported publication, they are making money from it | 22:17 |
| czajkowski | thats even worse then :( | 22:17 |
| vish | AlanBell: really? there was a comment from someone among them that he is not doing it for profit | 22:18 |
| jcastro | right, so like would we care if it was softpedia or webupd8 or some other site without "ubuntu" in the name? | 22:18 |
| czajkowski | meh we can all give out about out, we all dont like it, chances of his apologising are slim and none. whats the point. | 22:18 |
| AlanBell | tbh I am not that bothered about OMGUbuntu as a concept, they are learning journalism on the job, slowly, and they do put out some good articles | 22:18 |
| jcastro | besides, if you want more news on ubuntu you can always read plaanet fedora! | 22:19 |
| czajkowski | jcastro: for me, i see it as an Ubuntu member slagging off the majority of people who have developed and worked on Ubuntu and open source in rather poor taste | 22:19 |
| AlanBell | Ben has noticed that he gets rewarded with more readers and comments and probably add views when he posts that kind of article | 22:19 |
| jcastro | czajkowski: so say something! | 22:19 |
| jcastro | well, not to me | 22:19 |
| jcastro | but then it will just cause more pain | 22:20 |
| AlanBell | I am more concerned about it being on planet.ubuntu.com as an Ubuntu member and representing the project | 22:20 |
| jcastro | so you don't | 22:20 |
| jcastro | (I do this all the time) | 22:20 |
| jcastro | AlanBell: that is a good point | 22:20 |
| czajkowski | jcastro: I don't get you? | 22:20 |
| jcastro | czajkowski: like, you could respond with something | 22:20 |
| czajkowski | AlanBell: he removed it within an hr of it being on the planet | 22:20 |
| jcastro | but then there would be a retort | 22:20 |
| jcastro | and then other people would retort | 22:20 |
| jcastro | and then it would be even worse | 22:20 |
| czajkowski | jcastro: I've tried in the past to reason with ben and it didn't happen so I just gave up | 22:21 |
| AlanBell | yeah, that is the "don't feed the trolls" thing | 22:21 |
| jcastro | czajkowski: right, so you just put him in the "done with that pile" and move on | 22:21 |
| czajkowski | I didn't blog it, I spoke to him in pm and meh. exactly move on build a bridge and get over it :) | 22:21 |
| AlanBell | czajkowski: doesn't matter so much that he removed it from the planet, he is an Ubuntu member either way | 22:21 |
| czajkowski | aye | 22:21 |
| czajkowski | I think the person zooko wrote the bext reply on the comments with the dear Ben I am a 35.... | 22:24 |
| jcastro | I am 35! | 22:24 |
| AlanBell | so when he says on twitter about Maia Kozheva "Yeah, seriously, you should find her blog post. I just want to tell her to fuck off." I think that is kinda unacceptable | 22:25 |
| czajkowski | you can grow a beard :) | 22:25 |
| czajkowski | silverfox wrote a detailed bug report over the fonts wasn't it | 22:26 |
| AlanBell | lucidfox | 22:26 |
| czajkowski | ahh | 22:26 |
| czajkowski | yes | 22:26 |
| jcastro | I don't see why he's upset about that bug | 22:26 |
| czajkowski | he's not | 22:27 |
| czajkowski | she is | 22:27 |
| czajkowski | he's upset she filed the bug | 22:27 |
| jcastro | I don't see why he would care, the bug was worth it just so mark can explain why the font is what it is | 22:28 |
| jcastro | (I posted the same kind of thing on her blog) | 22:28 |
| AlanBell | yeah | 22:28 |
| jcastro | hmm, so hey | 22:30 |
| czajkowski | yup | 22:30 |
| czajkowski | z'actly | 22:30 |
| jcastro | the dell store started selling desktops again | 22:30 |
| jcastro | and I priced one for about $1000 USD | 22:30 |
| czajkowski | feck ye over in USa ye can get them! | 22:30 |
| jcastro | today I find the same one in a store | 22:30 |
| jcastro | with higher specs | 22:30 |
| * czajkowski can only get a mini over here | 22:30 | |
| jcastro | for 799, with windows 7! | 22:30 |
| czajkowski | ugh | 22:31 |
| jcastro | so I ask if they have the 7100n in stock, of course they've never heard of it | 22:31 |
| czajkowski | though I think the next laptop I get will be a system 76 shipped to mate in Canada - pending I get a job of course | 22:31 |
| jcastro | so basically, if I buy from their online store I am out the 500gb and 2gb that's in the store model + no ubuntu ootb | 22:32 |
| jcastro | (disk and ram spec, respectively) | 22:32 |
| AlanBell | at least they will let you buy it | 22:33 |
| jcastro | good point | 22:33 |
| AlanBell | did you see my conversation with them in the UK? | 22:34 |
| jcastro | yea | 22:34 |
| jcastro | loltastic | 22:34 |
| czajkowski | AlanBell: hey at least you didn't have to give them a geography lesson, she tried to tell me I was in the UK | 22:35 |
| AlanBell | now they only sell them over the phone, one of the guys in the UK loco phoned them up and got basically the same "you must buy windows" that I got online | 22:35 |
| czajkowski | I really wish other manufacturers sold with Ubuntu on them | 22:35 |
| AlanBell | czajkowski you are proper foreign | 22:35 |
| jcastro | am I proper rebel then? | 22:38 |
| czajkowski | AlanBell: I'm a mixutre alright :) | 22:39 |
| AlanBell | bedtime reading czajkowski http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy | 22:40 |
| czajkowski | I've not broken any.. | 22:40 |
| IdleOne | jcastro: with a name like yours claiming to be a rebel is a capital offence in some countries :) | 22:41 |
| highvoltage | czajkowski: ireland isn't part of the UK? | 22:41 |
| jcastro | IdleOne: yeah! | 22:41 |
| Pendulum | highvoltage: ooh. treading on dangerous ground there | 22:41 |
| * highvoltage backs off | 22:41 | |
| * IdleOne grabs popcorn and watches czajkowski rip highvoltage a new one | 22:41 | |
| czajkowski | highvoltage: I'm one of the few folks who don't mind it. I'm half English being born over there and dad is English, in fact he calls me a turn coat as I gave up british passport 12 years ago. | 22:42 |
| * czajkowski kicks highvoltage just the same | 22:43 | |
| czajkowski | highvoltage: you can chair the next two emea board meeting just for that | 22:43 |
| czajkowski | :p | 22:43 |
| highvoltage | ouch :) | 22:43 |
