[00:00] <bazhang> I PM'd him and then he quit
[00:11] <bazhang> how about united*smokers
[00:11] <IdleOne> that might work
[00:11] <IdleOne> ok
[00:11] <IdleOne> thank you for joining
[00:11] <bazhang> * [unitedpotsmokers] (~UPS@115.133.70.192): United Pot Smokers
[00:12] <bazhang> there are two clients
[00:12] <IdleOne> we have an issue here, your nick is against Ubuntu irc  policy
[00:12] <marijuana> im sorry
[00:12] <IdleOne> and this current nick is no better
[00:12] <marijuana> ok
[00:12] <IdleOne> Can you please use a non drug related nick when in any Ubuntu channel
[00:13] <IdleOne> or we are going to end playing the cat and mouse game all the time
[00:13] <IdleOne> I'm tired of chasing you to be honest
[00:14] <marijuana> IdleOne, why now u asking me, i register this nickname almost 2 years
[00:14] <IdleOne> is this something you can agree to?
[00:14] <IdleOne> marijuana: because we had some complaints and we have to enforce the rules
[00:15] <IdleOne> So do we have a deal?
[00:16] <Flannel> marijuana: We discussed this with you in April of 2009 as well.
[00:16] <marijuana> if u dont like my name OK, i will not join your channel anymore
[00:16] <Flannel> (and before then as well)
[00:16] <marijuana> its ok, no problem man
[00:17] <IdleOne> well that went a lot better then I expected, lets keep an eye open all the same
[00:17] <IdleOne> I would of prefered he agreed to change his nick and stay in the channels
[00:20] <IdleOne> s/would of/would have/
[00:20] <IdleOne> I keep doing that :/
[00:20] <bazhang> -rww influence-
[00:21] <IdleOne> he corrects me all the time
[00:21] <IdleOne> I still do it
[03:22] <bazhang> quantum_ion rings a bell
[03:23] <IdleOne> yeah, but he has been "ok" lately
[03:25] <sprung> Hi. My +q was removed a few days back, and having done nothing, it's back. i don't know why.
[03:27] <sprung> when my +q was removed i didn't even say anything in the channel. i was glad it was over with and went to sleep
[03:27] <sprung> so i don't know why i have a +q now
[03:27] <sprung> or do i even have one, i'm not seeing my ip or hostname in the banlist but i can't type in ##ubuntu
[03:28] <IdleOne> sprung: give me a minute please to look into it
[03:29] <IdleOne> ok, from what I see you were argumentative with a channel op and you got a +q
[03:29] <sprung> correct, and it was since removed
[03:29] <IdleOne> hmm not sure why it was put back
[03:30] <sprung> i come back tonight and its back, but i havent even used the channel since he removed the q
[03:30] <bazhang> the ban cleanout and reset most likely
[03:30] <sprung> i had to sit here and apologize and make assurances to get the +q removed, and it was removed, and i havent even been in the channel since then
[03:30] <IdleOne> I will remove the +q but I would like you to read a couple of links so you can get a better understanding of our channel rules
[03:31] <IdleOne> sprung: we had a ban clean up and some bans may have been reset
[03:31] <sprung> absolutely, i will read them all again just like i did a few days ago
[03:31] <sprung> ok i understand
[03:31] <IdleOne> sprung: I am trying to help here and I understand your frustration. There is no need for attitude :)
[03:32] <sprung> no attitude here, i'm sorry i read that way.
[03:32] <IdleOne> ok, maybe it was me reading it wrong
[03:32] <IdleOne> try to speak in there now
[03:33] <sprung> ok
[03:33] <IdleOne> ok done. thanks for your understanding
[03:33] <sprung> it works, shall i part this channel now?
[03:33] <IdleOne> please

 have you guys ever found salvation in a can of pepsi ?
[07:46] <tonyyarusso> Silly Tecan, everyone knows that Pepsi is a false prophet, and salvation comes from Dr. Pepper.

[09:17] <Seveas> keeps spilling random crap in #ubuntu
[13:30] <elky_> Soooo... hurricane electric asploded my linode, now i can't get my proxy to connect to freenode.
[13:31] <jussi> yeah, we noticed the lack of fbk
[13:31] <elky_> jussi, but not the lack of me?
[13:31] <jussi> nah :P :P
[13:32] <elky_> * elky :Nick/channel is temporarily unavailable <-- not helpful
[13:32] <elky_> Freenode was flooding me off when bip was trying to reconnect me.
[13:33] <tsimpson> you can /ns release the nick
[13:33] <elky_> ...
[13:36] <elky_> yeah, it's still "throttling" me for "connecting too fast"
[13:37]  * elky_ whimpers in the general direction of jayne, who she can see active in #freenode
[13:39] <elky_> it even goes so far as to identify me in some of the instances
[13:39] <elky_> but still kicks me off
[14:40] <elky> jussi, you have floodbotk2 back
[14:46] <elky> ok, bedtime
[21:40]  * popey wonders where the candidate list for -offtopic ops is
[21:40] <bazhang> popey, Pici linked to a wiki in the mailing list
[21:43] <popey> which list?
[21:43] <Tm_T> ubuntu-irc
[21:43] <popey> thanks
[21:45] <popey> I dont see that
[21:47] <popey> only one mail from Pici this month
[21:50] <Tm_T> hmm, was it the launchpad mail then
[21:51] <topyli> it was sent as launchpad spam, for core channel ops
[21:51] <popey> oh, so not public yet?
[21:51] <popey> sorry for the ignorance, whats the process? I'd like to go through and leave testimonials for the people who are nominated.
[21:52] <topyli> the mail asked for feedback from existing ops, it's not a vote :)
[21:53] <popey> so there's no way for people to leave testimonials?
[21:53] <elky> there is, the people writing the pages asked their friends by the  looks
[21:54] <popey> yes, I was asked by one
[21:54] <topyli> i guess the candidates have asked for testimonials
[21:54] <popey> but I'd like to see the others too
[21:54] <elky> we have a few who've never even been in to channels they're asking for ops in until this month with stacks of testimonials
[21:56] <topyli> good point i suppose. i don't know how public the process should be. essentially, the process is "ircc appoints the ops"
[21:56] <elky> popey, i just mailed you
[21:56] <elky> aaand im off to work
[21:57] <popey> thank you
[21:58] <popey> even if its not a vote, it does seem 'odd' (and no more than 'odd') that nobody outside the ircc can see the list until someone has made it through the process
[21:58] <popey> not sure of any other team which does that.
[21:58] <topyli> ops on core channels should have the list
[21:59] <popey> sure, but I'm surprised there's no format 'request for comments' stage before people get it
[22:00] <popey> will the discussion and selection happen in public?
[22:00] <popey> like selection for the tech board does?
[22:00] <topyli> no. ops are appointed by the ircc, as always
[22:00] <topyli> we're asking *more* feedback than before
[22:01] <popey> you answered a question I didnt ask :)
[22:02] <popey> or maybe I just asked badly, never mind :)
[22:02] <topyli> i think we've missed -meeting ops though
[22:02] <topyli> well you compare the operators to the technical board
[22:13] <popey> how many positions are you looking to fill?
[22:13] <popey> or is it, as many as fit?
[22:17] <topyli> popey: we'll still need more, that much is clear at least
[22:17] <popey> have you reached the end of nomination period?
[22:17] <popey> or can people still nominate ?
[22:17] <topyli> yes, but we'll probably re-announce for certain channels
[22:17] <bazhang> it was applications not nomination afaik
[22:17] <topyli> yes as in yes nominations are closed
[22:18] <topyli> yeah
[22:18] <popey> ah, sorry, used wrong term
[22:18] <popey> no more applications sought?
[22:18] <bazhang> as I want ops in -ops etc
[22:19] <topyli> popey: people can always apply through launchpad these days
[22:20] <topyli> here's the process, scroll down a bit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/OperatorRequirements
[22:21] <topyli> it's not a two-week rally for office or anything like that
[22:24] <popey> thanks
[23:25] <elky> topyli, it was reenabled in launchpad? How is it you're not getting a dozen a week from people finding the team pages and compulsively clicking on "join".
