[02:57] <maco> what the hell?
[02:58] <maco> steady stream of new silent people since that ban....
[02:58] <Pendulum> all coming from the same channel, probably
[02:58] <rww> 18:48:22 <Hoober> robert, did your friends call me retarded
[02:58] <rww> 18:48:28 <Hoober> my friends said your friends did
[03:01] <rww> so possibly they're meatpuppets of Hoober. yay :(
[03:02] <IdleOne> keep an eye on XIII
[13:18] <Pendulum> morning
[15:26] <czajkowski> hey there
[15:26] <Pendulum> hiya czajkowski
[15:27] <czajkowski> catching up on planet reading
[15:27] <Pendulum> *nods*
[15:27] <czajkowski> also step up 3D is the first film I've seen that makes sense to be done in 3D
[15:27] <Pendulum> heh
[15:28] <Pendulum> I'm refusing to see the step-up movies because as far as I can tell from the adverts it's a film about white appropriation of a traditionally black culture thing and it's sad that it couldn't just be about black culture/dance styles without a white lead character
[15:29] <czajkowski> um.... I wouldn't view it as that and never have done
[15:29] <czajkowski> none of the step movies are...
[15:30] <Pendulum> what race are the lead characters?
[15:30] <Pendulum> I'm not saying it's a conscious choice
[15:30] <czajkowski> there isn't any one major lead, it's a group so I really cant say tbh
[15:31] <Pendulum> okay
[15:31] <czajkowski> I never break folks down into race either tbh
[15:31] <Pendulum> maybe it's the American adverts, then
[15:31] <czajkowski> I cant related to that
[15:31] <czajkowski> sorry
[15:31] <Pendulum> that's fiar
[15:31] <Pendulum> *fair
[19:29] <pleia2> Pendulum, issyl0, reminder: interview due tomorrow :)
[19:29] <Pendulum> pleia2: I've poked ivanka a bunch with no answer :-/
[19:29] <pleia2> :\
[19:29] <Pendulum> I'll try again, but I know weekends are harder to get her
[19:30] <pleia2> maybe we should have an interview or two prepped in the queue so we don't miss months again?
[19:30] <pleia2> depending on a single interviewee is a burden on us and them, might be better if we loosened it a bit
[19:30] <pleia2> I am sure if we get the article in by monday it'll be ok, I've been late a couple times before :)
[19:30] <AlanBell> Pendulum: speaking of reminders . . .
[19:37] <nigelb> pleia2: +1 on having something ready so that you have some leeway
[19:37] <daker> anyone using the LoCo Directory API ?
[19:39] <AlanBell> daker: it has only been out a day hasn't it!
[19:42] <daker> AlanBell, the API ?
[19:43] <AlanBell> I thought so (I might be wrong)
[20:09] <daker> AlanBell, ?
[20:10] <AlanBell> daker: lets move this to #ubuntu-locoteams
[20:10] <daker> oki
[20:50] <czajkowski> isnt ivanka on hols?
[20:55] <elky> pleia2, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-women/2010-August/002955.html
[20:56] <pleia2> elky: yay! :)
[20:57]  * pleia2 just saw it hit her mailbox
[20:57] <elky> Let the games begin!
[21:01] <czajkowski> thats really cool
[21:01] <czajkowski> thanks elky
[21:01] <czajkowski> I should stop reading blog posts when they make me this mad :(
[21:02] <pleia2> czajkowski: yeah, I stopped a couple hours ago
[21:02] <czajkowski> I thought it couldnt get any worse
[21:02] <czajkowski> but it did
[21:03] <czajkowski> one person um zooko 3 hrs made a great point not sure I'm linking to it properly but...  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/dude-youre-35-year-old-with-neck-beard.html#comment-67017538
[21:03] <elky> It also went to planet.
[21:03] <czajkowski> and then removed very fast...
[21:03] <pleia2> I don't think their links to comments work
[21:03] <czajkowski> pleia2: seems that way.. but 3hrs ago is the time stamp
[21:03] <elky> pleia2, the comments are in disqus, which might get adblocked
[21:04] <czajkowski> starts off with Dear Benjamin:
[21:04] <czajkowski> I'm 36 years old. I have a beard. I have contributed to the creation of Ubuntu in several small ways over the
[21:04] <pleia2> czajkowski: yeah, I searched for the nick :)
[21:04] <pleia2> great comment
[21:04] <czajkowski> aye really nice comment
[21:05] <czajkowski> but I'e little or no time for Ben since his behaviour at UDS tbh and when I asked him to remove stuff that had me in it and never did. so not much respect
[21:08] <elky> I'm annoyed at the way he did the whole manuals thing too. Especially since when we turned him down for membership when he'd been around for only a month or so writing howtos on the forum or whatever we told him to work /with/ the docs team, not stomp off and build a new sandpit.
[21:10] <elky> Also that 'interview' a few days back where it's like the took a sample of their irc channel one friday after a few beers.
[21:10] <czajkowski> tbh I never read omg ubuntu as the writing style reminds me of a bunch of college kids, which it really is.
[21:10] <czajkowski> and articles like today prove it
[21:10] <czajkowski> and I don't think Ubuntu/canonical should be associated with it at all
[21:11] <czajkowski> todays article is daming
[21:11] <elky> Also, his pestering me on facebook to "hurry up and add" him so he could feed stuff in to my wall or respond to something I said or etc
[21:13] <elky> Anyway, enough time spent on him for today. G'nite
[21:13] <czajkowski> meh I came with a rule, if I've not met them or work with them on areas I dont add
[21:13] <czajkowski> G'night elky
[21:15] <elky> I have a rule too; If I see the bump before I see the original request, they meet my blacklist.
[21:15] <elky> ZZzzzz
[22:49] <maco> ooh apparently im blocked from commenting on omgubuntu?  or did comments close?
[22:50] <Pendulum> dunno
[22:58] <AlanBell> maco: looks open to me, I would be surprised if you were blocked though
[22:58] <maco> i wouldnt
[22:58] <maco> i publicly refer to that blog as a gossip rag in the grocery store
[22:59] <AlanBell> yeah, but they *like* comments like that
[22:59] <czajkowski> maco: lol
