AlanBelljcastro: important new UDS resource -> http://ubingo.libertus.co.uk00:08
AlanBellduanedesign: there are about 55 words, it shows 30 at random00:09
duanedesignAlanBell: would be funny if everyone had soda pop instead of beer. Can you imagine giving a talk and the entire audience drinking in unison (in what appears to you to be random times)00:09
AlanBelllol00:09
AlanBellheh, someone actually going could print out a stack for people to pick up on the way in00:10
nigelbAlanBell: Improvements02:31
duanedesignnigelb: friendly wager, whoever gets fewer words marked off in ubingo has to buy lunch :)03:23
nigelbduanedesign: can't be fewer, must be all!03:24
nigelboh wait, yah. I get it03:24

vishoh wise jcastro! where art thine "videos for bp" !? ;)13:53

vishgosh! seriously ben is *starting* to get annoying! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/615300/comments/14  whats with the "Ubuntu Camp" reference?16:07
ubot2Ubuntu bug 615300 in evolution (Ubuntu) "Set and/or enable default Evolution signature as "Sent from Ubuntu" (affects: 2) (dups: 1) (heat: 42)" [Medium,Fix released]16:07
nigelbvish: o.O16:17
AlanBellvish: https://answers.launchpad.net/malone/+question/12430916:17
vishAlanBell: haha! nice!16:19
AlanBellshame the answer was no16:20
vishbut it is silly when he says  "Ubuntu Camp" .. if it is a reference to members then he is part of it...16:20
vishif not , what camp is he from? ;)16:20
AlanBellhe was considering resigning his membership the other day, which I think would be a shame16:21
AlanBellto be fair adding a default signature is a somewhat sanity-light suggestion16:22
vishAlanBell: well , its not about the point he is trying to make, its just the *way* he is trying to make the point is getting annoying..16:23
AlanBellwhen I next catch Ben/Joey online I will suggest that in future bug related articles they have some standard text guiding people to the "affects me too" link16:23
vishoh, declining membership!! in hopes of *not* being controlled by the COC ?  hehe!16:23
jussivish: +116:23
AlanBellvish: indeed, one reason why I don't want him to do that16:24
jussiThankfully no one has proposed this for kmail yet :)16:24
* AlanBell goes to file a bug against kmail16:25
* nigelb goes to file bug against thunderbird16:25
vishjussi: once gnome-shell gets too annoying .. we'll get to you ;p16:25
nigelbvish: +116:25
* jussi files a bug against AlanBell :D16:25
jussivish: and we will sanely mark the bug as invalid... or maybe wont fix16:26
jussi:D16:26
vishjussi: no , i meant , we'll switch to kde as the main for Ubuntu and annoy kde users ;)16:26
jussivish: cripes... the world will end :D16:27
jussi:P16:27
jussiso anyway, no one wants a few months free mindmeister?16:27
nigelbjussi: um, what?17:29
vishnigelb:  <jussi> Ive 2 months free mindmeister for 5 people if anyone needs. just pm me for a code.17:44
* nigelb had to google mindmeister17:44
nigelbjussi: oye, you got some free time?18:05
czajkowskivish: what do you mean starting to ;)18:09
vishczajkowski: well , i guess i have a higher threshold for pain tolerance ;)18:09
czajkowskivish: trust me , mine is rather hight18:10
czajkowskihigh18:10
nigelbheh18:11
czajkowskiI delete the rude spammy comments from my blog18:12
* czajkowski dislikes rude people 18:12
* nigelb hugs czajkowski :)18:12
nigelbbetter to delete than to engage IMHO18:12
czajkowskiso true18:12
czajkowskiwont give them a platform for their crap18:13
jussinigelb: hi18:18
nigelbjussi: you have time later for a call?18:18
* nigelb wants to test google voice thingy18:18
nigelbjussi: wooo, that was fun!18:28
* nigelb is glad that 'it works'18:28
czajkowskiAnyone attending UDS I've updated the wiki to have an attendees page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-N/Attendees18:37
czajkowskiif you want to let people know your times of arrival so you cna hook up with others for taxis18:37
senseIf Ben talks about the Ubuntu Camp as a separate entity, coming up with all the ideas he dislikes, then it conveys to me that he doesn't feel he is a part of the Ubuntu community, or the group of people working on Ubuntu. He considers himself an outsider, an onlooker.18:59
AlanBellthat needs fixing19:00
nigelbsense: did you see the mail he wrong to -desktop about application raiting?19:00
sensenigelb: Don't remember seeing it, maybe it was mass-archived along with the Bug Watch spam. :)19:01
nigelbugh, that was indeed massive.19:02
senseThe first batch for me was over five hundred. I saw bugs I didn't even remember dealing with, and in the beginning actually thought those required attention.19:03
nigelbNot that I don't like Ben, but some antics are irritating.19:03
nigelbsense: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2010-September/002637.html19:04
nigelbI love jorge's reply19:04
sense:P19:04
senseGo Jorge!19:04
czajkowskiaye he does rock19:05
AlanBellhe is full of energy, like a bouncy puppy19:05
AlanBellgiven some training he could be useful19:05
AlanBellerr not jcastro, he is not a puppy19:06
sense:)19:06
nigelbAlanBell: More like a Lynx? ;)19:07
AlanBellany reason why http://omgubuntu.co.uk/author/humphreybc should not be syndicated to planet Ubuntu?19:11
czajkowskiyes it's OMG Ubuntu19:11
czajkowskiand he has hiis own blong19:11
czajkowski*blog19:11
nigelbI dont oppose really if he removes his exsiting blog and consolidates to this one.19:12
nigelband if there isn't any ads/branding on planet.19:12
senseI wouldn't classify OMG!Ubuntu! as a personal blog, or a platform for personal blog posts, so I don't think it is very suitable for Planet Ubuntu.19:12
vishAlanBell: come on , pls stop suggesting such ideas , even if it were meant as a joke19:13
AlanBellit is about Ubuntu, and by a member19:13
AlanBellvish: not joking19:13
nigelbsense: not all the posts of course, but I see what AlanBell is saying.19:13
vishAlanBell: well , he can post it in his blog.19:13
vishAlanBell: why not there?19:13
senseyeah19:13
AlanBellI am just working in mysterious ways19:13
nhandlerBased on my recollection of the planet ubuntu requirements, he could technically add that feed to the planet. It is an ubuntu member's posts and about ubuntu and in english19:14
nigelbexactly, we can't stop it19:14
nigelbunless we have another neckbeard like incident :p19:15
nigelbMurphy's law of flickr: If you're hungry and look through flickr, you'll inevitably find pictures of food :p19:16
AlanBelllol19:16
sensePerl law of regex: running autogen.sh causes regexes to fail, but only for one particular string, which seems regextechnically indistinguishable from the others.19:17
nigelbregextechnically - I like that19:18
sense:)19:19
nigelblater folks, bed time :)19:22
nhandlersense: Isn't Perl regex debugging fun ;)19:23
sensenhandler: Absolutely! The past few weeks were the most fun I've had in a while!19:24
nhandlersense: I've spent many evenings going back and forth between a regex and the text trying to figure out why it wasn't working. They really are a language in themselves19:24
senseIt's quite frustrating.19:25
PendulumAlanBell: I think there's some precident for it happening. akgraner has the Ubuntu User blog that feeds to planet and I thought her personal blog did as well19:28
AlanBellmy blog is an /author feed off a shared blog which is technically a company thing19:31
vishAlanBell: does your blog come with a prefill of discuss commenters?19:33
AlanBellI tend not to attract the "angry teenager" demographic19:34
AlanBellbut comments don't get syndicated anyhow19:34
vish;)19:35
AlanBellso how would you like OMGUbuntu to report on bugs in a less irritating way?19:35
vishAlanBell: if your commenter's get out of line of COC , do you still keep their comments?19:35
AlanBellbecause that bug is totally reportable news19:35
czajkowskiI really do not see bugs as news19:36
vishAlanBell: would you delete the comments out of Line or do you highlight those very same comments?19:36
AlanBellvish: no, and to be fair, OMGUbuntu now has a comment moderation policy (which I had at least some part in pressurising them to do)19:36
czajkowskiin fact I really hate seeing that kinda shite tbh19:36
vishAlanBell: no , but the moderation is taken/used to their advantages..19:37
senseThe bug was from Rick Spencer about adding the signature to Evolution, the news message was about the signature being added, illustrating the fact with the bug report.19:37
AlanBellI would rather fix the shite than keep it out of sight19:37
senseThey could have placed less attention on the bug, and more on the actual event.19:37
vishAlanBell: but they do not want to fix the site19:37
senseIt is worth a discussion.19:37
czajkowskisense: indeed19:37
AlanBellsense: precisely19:37
nhandlerczajkowski: Well, to be fair, certain bugs are news. i.e. I'm sure there was a bug about switching the default photo application used in Ubuntu19:38
czajkowskiAlanBell: it;s not about fixing, its, drawing the type of people who seem to flame things and refere to people as being in a Camp I object to19:38
czajkowskinhandler: we shall agree to disagree, bugs are not news :)19:38
* AlanBell avoids cheap ossbarcamp gag19:38
czajkowskiAlanBell: :)19:38
senseczajkowski: What about security bugs? ;)19:38
* AlanBell hugs czajkowski instead19:38
AlanBellsecurity bugs tend not to be news19:40
czajkowski*sigh*19:40
czajkowskibugs are not news!19:40
senseI hate Perl, I think. The two directories diff this little <http://paste.ubuntu.com/496615/>, but still 'r' won't build because something doesn't match a regex.19:40
AlanBellyeah, bugs are not news19:40
senseWhy?19:40
czajkowskiin fact when I see them on sites I think of them as fillers if they've nothing to actually report on19:41
AlanBellsome things that get reported in the launchpad bug system are not bugs19:41
senseVery true.19:41
senseUnfortunately...19:41
AlanBellthings like the font maybe not making it into Maverick is reportable news19:41
AlanBellnot really a bug as in "something broken in code that should work"19:41
AlanBelland the "lets add a signature to evolution" bug isn't technically a bug from the traditional definition19:42
senseThe crash of the first Ariana 5 rocket was a bug. Isn't that news? It was quite an expensive bug.19:42
senseNo, that was more a work-item.19:42
sense(The Ariana 5 software bug caused a loss of $370 million, according to Wikipedia.)19:44
doctormoduanedesign: ping21:29
doctormoNow I have to work out what it is about jono that made him easier to draw than anyone else I've ever tried to do.22:33
cjohnstondraw me ;-)22:38
doctormocjohnston: Any particiluar picture? And are you ok with being used as a immature artist model? :-P22:52
czajkowskidoctormo: what did the jono drawing look like22:55
cjohnstonuh oh22:56
doctormoczajkowski: Keep one caveat in mind, I am not an artist: http://doctormo.deviantart.com/#/d2yz9gu22:59
czajkowskibottom right is very him22:59
doctormoI was tempted to draw a party hat ont hat one and just have that.23:03
duanedesignhello all23:05
doctormoHEY duanedesign! just the person23:05
duanedesign:)23:06
duanedesigndoctormo: had a busy day. Just got a chance to sit down and sign on23:07
doctormoduanedesign: Perfect, well the good news is that thanks to Manuel de la Pena, you're all funded. He said you should get the money via paypal hopefully by Tuesday.23:08
doctormoduanedesign: And do let me know if anyone else donates, I've sent an email that we're done. But sometimes money pops through afterwards for some reason.23:09
duanedesigndoctormo: well that is awaesome23:10
duanedesignso awesome I lost my ability spell23:11
duanedesignno wait I never had that23:11
duanedesigndoctormo: if you have his email i would like to send a thank you23:12
doctormoHow apt, awesome: loosing one's breath at the sight of something. see irreverent.23:12
duanedesigndefinetly the whole experience has been overwhelming. It is exciting enough to get to go to UDS, On top of that the generousity of the community and it is awesome23:13
doctormoWell I have to go and see a show and catch some dinner... or visa versa. be back later!23:14
duanedesignok have fun23:15
duanedesignthanks23:15
