| Prosperian | I would like to know how to get the required skills and experience for one of the Canonical jobs? | 05:48 |
|---|---|---|
| Prosperian | i can probably do it pretty fast | 05:48 |
| Prosperian | is there a aptitude test for which ubuntu job would be best? | 05:48 |
| Tm_T | Prosperian: I'm afraid this is not the right place to ask | 05:48 |
| maco | Prosperian: this is the get-unbanned-from-irc channel ;-) | 05:48 |
| Prosperian | i want to be a software dev or support guy mostly | 05:49 |
| IdleOne | Prosperian: see www.canonical.com/careers and www.canonical.com for more info, look for a training link | 05:49 |
| IdleOne | Prosperian aka Hoober | 05:50 |
| IdleOne | Please leave this channel. We have a no idling rule. | 05:50 |
| IdleOne | Wow that was easy | 05:51 |
| IdleOne | the nickname Dick drives my highlights crazy | 05:54 |
| Madpilot | you ping on swearwords? | 05:56 |
| IdleOne | certain ones yes | 05:56 |
| IdleOne | btw Hi Madpilot ltns | 05:57 |
| IdleOne | :) | 05:57 |
| Madpilot | been a while, hasn't it? finally got the damned wireless at my new place to talk to me | 05:58 |
| Madpilot | hates wireless, I do. Real internet comes on long blue cables. | 05:58 |
| IdleOne | hehe I feel the same | 06:00 |
| IdleOne | Sometimes grey cables | 06:00 |
| Madpilot | I'm not used to 15+ second lag on IRC, for example. Not Impressed. | 06:00 |
| Prosperian | hello | 06:36 |
| Prosperian | i visited the store. and the training is too costly for now | 06:36 |
| Prosperian | i like the merchandise though | 06:36 |
| maco | the training is normal desktop stuff anyway | 06:36 |
| maco | i think... | 06:36 |
| Prosperian | it pays to be a professional certified | 06:36 |
| Prosperian | i thought | 06:36 |
| maco | yeah but for that you want an LPIC book | 06:37 |
| maco | but this still isnt the channel for this | 06:37 |
| Prosperian | oh | 06:37 |
| Prosperian | ok well i need to be unbanned | 06:37 |
| Prosperian | so i can go to a channel for this | 06:37 |
| Prosperian | i am Hoober | 06:39 |
| Prosperian | the ip is a fios one | 06:39 |
| Prosperian | it has been 72 hours i believe | 06:39 |
| IdleOne | it has only been 48 hours, you were told to wait 72 hours | 06:39 |
| Prosperian | dang | 06:39 |
| Prosperian | see you this tiem tomorrow | 06:39 |
| Prosperian | 140am | 06:39 |
| IdleOne | Good night. | 06:39 |
| elky | You know, we used to extend bans to wean them off being annoying snots. I'm not sure why we've changed to rewarding their persistance in annoying snottery. | 06:41 |
| Madpilot | heh | 06:43 |
| IdleOne | Not sure exactly he was rewarded | 06:44 |
| IdleOne | how he * | 06:44 |
| elky | Well, by not being penalised for disrespecting. | 06:44 |
| IdleOne | I'm not to sure he was disrespectful, this time. | 06:46 |
| IdleOne | sure he came in 24 hours early | 06:46 |
| IdleOne | but both times he has entered he hasn't really been an issue and left when asked to | 06:47 |
| elky | Which is pretty consistently a baiting act of itself with these kinds of trolls. | 06:47 |
| IdleOne | If he comes back I'll ping you :) | 06:48 |
| jussi | IdleOne: the page is now: http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/careers | 07:03 |
| jussi | IdleOne: /careers 404's | 07:03 |
| IdleOne | thank you. | 07:03 |
| elky | Because redirects are too nice. | 07:13 |
| Flannel | elky: The canonical design team has to break all of the links every 12 months or it doesn't get its bonus. | 07:14 |
| elky | Ah, is /that/ what it is. | 07:14 |
| maco | i filed a bug the other day on the fact that the job app page is like "for a list, go to ubuntu.com/careers" which was a dead link | 07:15 |
| ubottu | FloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1410 users, 7 overflows, 1417 limit)) | 09:17 |
| ubottu | FloodBot4 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1412 users, 9 overflows, 1421 limit)) | 09:17 |
| ubottu | FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1404 users, 9 overflows, 1413 limit)) | 09:17 |
| ubottu | FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1412 users, 9 overflows, 1421 limit)) | 09:17 |
| ubottu | FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (banlist filling up: 463 bans) | 10:11 |
| jussi | elky: funny thing is, they are hiring someone where part of the job description is to fix redirects: http://webapps.ubuntu.com/employment/canonical_WM/ | 10:30 |
| Tm_T | shame I cannot apply to that job | 10:31 |
| elky | jussi, it's only taken them 5 years | 10:32 |
| jussi | heh | 10:32 |
| Tm_T | you would love my occasional triple redirects with easter eggs | 10:32 |
| jussi | Tm_T: you can, it says milbank, but they may consider remote work. | 10:32 |
| elky | This is an ongoing thing, as per what flannel says. | 10:32 |
| jussi | hehe | 10:32 |
| elky | jussi, reporting to Online Marketing Manager probably makes that less likely | 10:32 |
| jussi | perhaps, but if the right person comes along, I know canonical can be flexible ;)) | 10:33 |
| gord | pro-tip, never don't apply for a job you would like because you decided you can't get it. let them decide you can't get it | 10:46 |
| jussi | exactly | 10:57 |
| elky | Who says I want that job? | 11:03 |
| elky | Oh,you mean Tm_T | 11:03 |
| Tm_T | (:) | 11:05 |
| elky | gord, also, that's classed as fraud in .au if you're on welfare that makes you apply for a certain number of jobs/$time_period. | 11:05 |
| gord | really? crazy | 11:07 |
| jussi | o.O | 11:09 |
| elky | Yep. The likelihood of you getting busted aiming for a role a bit above your experience isn't high, but they got sick of highschool dropouts applying to law firms and hospitals. | 11:09 |
| elky | Which is genuinely quite deceitful. | 11:12 |
| elky | And you know how thick government policy makers can be. | 11:14 |
| jussi | Hrm, hopefully that worked and we will now have FB bans forwarded here for review, so we dont blindly remove them, but we also dont just leave them without review | 11:23 |
| Tm_T | neatos | 13:07 |
| jussi | excellent, it works :) | 13:07 |
| jussi | Tm_T: so you want to do the honours? | 13:09 |
| Tm_T | no, sorry, I am currently concentrating to write some job applications (:) | 13:10 |
| jpds | 13:11 | |
| jpds | God, that bot is annoying. | 13:11 |
| jussi | jpds: ? | 13:11 |
| ikonia | please don't have the bot message the channel | 13:51 |
| ikonia | can someone with ops remove Onga_The_Ghastly from #ubuntu-server, it's balzac trolling again | 14:34 |
| jpds | -ChanServ(ChanServ@services.)- You are not authorized to root this channel. | 14:55 |
| ikonia | thank you Pici | 14:58 |
| Pici | ikonia: hes annoying me in pm too. | 14:58 |
| ikonia | me too | 15:00 |
| ikonia | olha bruder | 15:00 |
| ikonia | etc | 15:00 |
| funkyHat | topyli: too violent? | 18:06 |
| topyli | whatwhat | 18:06 |
| funkyHat | 17:37:53 #ubuntu-offtopic: [topyli] funkyHat: awkward | 18:07 |
| ikonia | @mark #ubuntu papna-work I believe this user is trying to troll | 18:07 |
| ubottu | The operation succeeded. | 18:07 |
| topyli | oh no, that was my idea of a pun. sed was mentioned, i had to slip in awk somehow | 18:07 |
| topyli | sorry about the pun quality :( | 18:08 |
| funkyHat | topyli: ohh ⢁D. That one slipped right past me | 18:08 |
| ikonia | busted linux_op | 18:25 |
| ikonia | I'll remove it, but can we stop that from the bot please? | 18:51 |
| IdleOne | heh | 18:51 |
| Pici | Can we make that not be a notice? | 18:52 |
| ikonia | that would be better | 18:52 |
| IdleOne | I was gonna say, CTCP msg from ubottu to comment on floodbot* ban.... | 18:52 |
| Pici | a regular msg to the channel is fine, but notices display iconsistantly across irc clients. | 18:52 |
| maco | it shows as gold text in the channel for me | 18:53 |
| IdleOne | I am fine even with a direct pm | 18:53 |
| ikonia | not sure it's a good idea hitting the channel at all | 18:53 |
| IdleOne | /msg me all you like bot. but notices will get lost | 18:53 |
| Pici | Maybe an announcement in ubuntu-ops-monitor would be more appropriate. | 18:54 |
| IdleOne | hmm not everybody pays attention there | 18:54 |
| ikonia | in my head it's pointless as you have to be following the channel quite detailed to know why the floodbot did that, and if you did know, you'll already remove it | 18:55 |
| Pici | Its pointless for floodbot quiets, as it already had removed the quiet. | 18:55 |
| ikonia | what sort of info do you think it's worth while posting on then ? | 18:57 |
| Pici | I'd also like to see some discussion before we add these 'features' to the bot. | 18:57 |
| IdleOne | I don't think the bot should need comments on quiets, they are auto removed anyway, at most an inconvenience if a user is accidentally set +q | 18:57 |
| ikonia | note I don't believe rsr at all in #ubuntu as in ##windows he made the same clame about running windows | 19:31 |
| ikonia | he just added the word "ubuntu" for this channel | 19:32 |
| IdleOne | you really believe your going to convince the troll you're right? | 19:41 |
| ikonia | yes | 19:41 |
| ikonia | if he doesn't want to accept it, that's his problem | 19:41 |
| ikonia | if he carries on I'll just remove him | 19:41 |
| ikonia | I don't believe his intention, but I'm ahppy to give him the right information | 19:42 |
| ikonia | what happened with the bot ? | 19:42 |
| IdleOne | well right now you are both offtopic | 19:42 |
| ikonia | not at all he's asking how to do it in ubuntu | 19:42 |
| ikonia | its a reasonable question | 19:42 |
| ikonia | but as I stated earlier I don't believe his intentions | 19:43 |
| IdleOne | so drop the discussion. He won't quit | 19:43 |
| ikonia | he should do | 19:43 |
| ikonia | it's a reasonable discussion asking how to do it if it's genuine | 19:44 |
| IdleOne | But since you know it is not genuine, then you shouldn't indulge him | 19:44 |
| ikonia | I don't know | 19:44 |
| ikonia | I believe it's not | 19:44 |
| IdleOne | k | 19:45 |
| IdleOne | I believe your continued discussion with rsr about something he does not care to learn how to do is disruptive to the channel | 19:45 |
| ikonia | thats fine, I dissagree | 19:45 |
| IdleOne | I also believe you removing my +q was out of line | 19:45 |
| ikonia | it's a legtimate question, if he continued to disbelive me, I'd have delt with it, however I have to give him the chance | 19:46 |
| ikonia | fair enough | 19:46 |
| IdleOne | but he is gone now so us arguing about it is pointless | 19:46 |
| IdleOne | In the end he managed to achieve his goal to troll the channel and waste our time. | 19:47 |
| ikonia | I don't know if he did or not | 19:49 |
| ikonia | I believe he wasn't genuine, but he may be and just not fully understand how to ask what he wants | 19:49 |
| IdleOne | Your replies were coming off as argumentative to him and to me too honestly. On the second time he called you "not smart" I felt he need some quiet time to read the guidelines (my script auto msg links to the guidelines and coc) I was going to msg him and talk to him about it in pm but got distracted. | 19:51 |
| ikonia | I totally understand what your saying | 19:52 |
| ikonia | the freespeech rant suggests further than my suspision is correct | 19:54 |
| ikonia | (in my view) | 19:54 |
| IdleOne | free speach rant? | 19:55 |
| ikonia | "it's freespeech so I'll say what I want" | 19:55 |
| IdleOne | speach??? what the speech* | 19:55 |
| ikonia | oops | 19:55 |
| ikonia | yes, speech, thank you | 19:55 |
| IdleOne | haha no I made the mistake and was correcting myself | 19:55 |
| ikonia | ooh yes | 19:56 |
| ikonia | I thought I'd done that as I almost typed it earlier | 19:56 |
| IdleOne | not sure where you saw that though | 19:56 |
| ikonia | I didn't type it, I thought I'd typed it this time (as I almost did earlier) and you'd corrected me | 19:57 |
| IdleOne | lol | 19:58 |

| ubottu | I'll forget that, Pici | 20:01 |
| Pici | !forget hal9000-#ubuntu-offtopic | 20:01 |
| ikonia | Pici: he's gone, but I think his question will be why can't he talk in #backtrack-linux as I say him trying | 20:27 |
| ikonia | it's +r | 20:27 |
| Pici | Oh well. | 20:27 |
| guntbert | hi, the link http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases in !releases is broken | 21:05 |
| guntbert | bazhang: do ops usually read backlogs on returning here? | 21:47 |
| IdleOne | guntbert: some do | 21:48 |
| IdleOne | I would suspect most do | 21:49 |
| guntbert | I was asking to know if I should repeat my hint from 22:05 | 21:49 |
| IdleOne | guntbert: what would the new link be? | 21:49 |
| IdleOne | submit an edit to the !releases factoid | 21:50 |
| guntbert | IdleOne: I don't know, I just stumbled over "this page doesn't exist" | 21:50 |
| IdleOne | guntbert: would this be it http://releases.ubuntu.com/ ? | 21:53 |
| guntbert | IdleOne: I guess not, as that page only contains the releases themselves but not any info about them | 21:53 |
| guntbert | especially there is no info about old eol releases | 21:54 |
| guntbert | IdleOne: found it : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 21:55 |
| ubottu | In ubottu, guntbert said: !no releases is reply Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 21:56 |
| IdleOne | Someone will approve the edit soon | 21:57 |
| guntbert | IdleOne: thx for the guidance :-) | 21:57 |
| IdleOne | heh thanks for helping guntbert :) | 21:58 |
| guntbert | :) bye | 21:58 |
| KE1HA | Can you you all have a chat with LadyTala an in the Ubuntu Channel, way way off topic. | 22:29 |
| IdleOne | KE1HA: Thanks for the heads up. Please part the channel, there is a no idling rule. | 22:42 |
| KE1HA | Oh, ok. sri. | 22:45 |
| luis__ | hello | 23:21 |
| === luis_ is now known as TELL0 | ||
| jpds | 23:32 | |
| knome | ha | 23:35 |
| jpds | IdleOne: Please do not point people at releases.u.c, we have mirrors for a reaons | 23:39 |
| jpds | reason*. | 23:39 |
| knome | jpds, no one's going to do that ;) | 23:40 |
| knome | jpds, only linking to wiki in the factoid | 23:40 |
| jpds | Gut. | 23:40 |
| jpds | Cakester: Hello. | 23:42 |
| Cakester | cakester? | 23:42 |
| Cakester | my name changed.. but how | 23:43 |
| Cakester | i am hoober | 23:43 |
| Cakester | it has been long enough has it not? | 23:43 |
| Cakester | i really am interested in getting with the ubuntu people. my job interview today at the movie theater was terrible. the manager treated me abusively | 23:43 |
| Cakester | even though i told him it was my first interview | 23:44 |
| Cakester | i hope if i get to work for Canonical it won't be so bad | 23:44 |
| Cakester | whoops | 23:46 |
| Cakester | !help | 23:58 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:58 |
| Cakester | Please unban | 23:58 |
