| rww | !no, intrepidkde3 is <reply> Kubuntu 8.04 ships with KDE3 and full support. Karmic and above do not include KDE3, but a remix install CD can be obtained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Karmic (or .../Lucid, etc.). This is not officially supported.

| rww | IdleOne: Why is there a +e on _Synergy_ in #ubuntu? | 05:07 |
| rww | ah, never mind, found the relevant log | 05:15 |
| * rww PMs the user asking them to actually get exploit tested, because setting +es on nicks is not a good solution | 05:18 | |
| Jordan_U | What does +es do? | 05:19 |
| rww | Jordan_U: +e, rather | 05:20 |
| * rww fails at pluralization | 05:20 | |
| Jordan_U | I tend to do things like "+e's". (even though it's gramatically incorrect) | 05:24 |
| rww | (and for those wondering why +e somenick!*@* is a bad idea, it means that /nick somenick allows anyone to bypass any ban that might be set on them in the channel) | 05:25 |
| IdleOne | rww, he was not able to join the other because he was in the victim list. I set a +e but afterwards tsimpson removed from the list | 05:25 |
| IdleOne | the other day* | 05:25 |
| IdleOne | you can remove it now I guess | 05:26 |
| rww | IdleOne: no he didn't :\ | 05:26 |
| IdleOne | he didn't what? | 05:27 |
| IdleOne | remove from the victim list? | 05:27 |
| rww | They're still in the victims list and still banned by nick from the channel. | 05:27 |
| rww | I removed the exempt and told the user in PM to go to -read-topic. | 05:27 |
| IdleOne | ok | 05:28 |
| IdleOne | sorry for any confusion I caused | 05:28 |
| rww | no problem. it's just one of my pet peeves; I'd recommend +e $a:accountname in the future. | 05:28 |
| rww | or "come back when the FloodBots aren't being crazy", but that might be a little harsh | 05:29 |
| rww | oy vey, user just ping timedout. | 05:29 |
| rww | I guess they won't have to join the channel themselves :\ | 05:30 |
| IdleOne | wouldn't +e $a:accountname still allow to bypass a ban? | 05:31 |
| IdleOne | no it wouldnt | 05:31 |
| rww | I assume that everyone else guards their nickserv password with their life ;D | 05:32 |
| rww | that's the exempt form we used in #ubuntu-women during Ridiculous Trollscapade 2010, btw ;) | 05:32 |
| rww | Thoughts on "!windoze is <reply> Please don't use silly misspellings to denigrate other operating systems. It makes users of that system feel attacked, and hurts Ubuntu advocacy by making you and us look unreasonable."? | 06:09 |

| rww | the bot surpasses herself | 06:10 |
| Flannel | rww: Well, start with that one, and we can alias other things to it, I suppose. | 06:11 |
| rww | could start with !misspellings and alias !windoze, !m$, etc(?) to it. | 06:11 |
| Flannel | That'll work. Except could misspellings be mistaken as an actual "spelling" issue instead? | 06:13 |
| rww | some English major has to have come up with a specific word for this sort of thing | 06:13 |
| Flannel | Hmm | 06:13 |
| rww | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windoze redirects to "Satiric misspelling" >.> | 06:14 |
| Flannel | Mmm, if I were to pick a dictionary word, I guess I'd lean towards travesty or parody. | 06:19 |
| Flannel | And then, to patent it, you just add "using a computer" or "on the internet" | 06:20 |
| rww | I've never seen anyone try to call !misspelling, I figure we just roll with that. | 06:28 |
| Flannel | sounds good | 06:29 |
| rww | !misspelling is <reply> Please don't use silly misspellings to denigrate other operating systems. It makes users of that system feel attacked, and hurts Ubuntu advocacy by making you and us look unreasonable. | 06:29 |

| Flannel | I don't like that "us" | 06:30 |
| Flannel | But that might just be me | 06:30 |
| rww | and the community in general? | 06:30 |
| Flannel | works | 06:30 |
| rww | !misspelling =~ s/and us/and the community in general/ | 06:31 |
| ubottu | I'll remember that rww | 06:31 |

| rww | or just "making the the community look" | 06:31 |

| Myrtti | nobody noticed that rwrite is banevading now? mainly though because I didn't notice he's running his irc client on a system that runs ident and could've been banned without the nickname in the banmask | 08:26 |
| Myrtti | I don't honestly know what to do with him | 08:30 |
| Myrtti | too tired still | 08:30 |
| Myrtti | suggestions are taken in | 08:37 |
| rww | which channel? | 08:37 |
| rww | nvm, found it | 08:38 |
| Myrtti | I don't understand where the script writers get their SUCKY quit messages | 08:38 |
| rww | I'd banforward *!*@zen.netx.org here, personally | 08:39 |
| Myrtti | yeah, but he's still on the channel | 08:40 |
| rww | then kick him | 08:40 |
| Myrtti | I'd probably use the ident too, though | 08:40 |
| rww | I wouldn't bother. Doesn't look like it's a shell service, just a personal server with an identd | 08:40 |
| rww | _Synergy_'s now idling in -read-topic, for anyone following that topic. | 08:42 |

| Myrtti | tsimpson: the logic of that? | 09:13 |
| tsimpson | [09:11:12]<iflema> rm -rf | 09:14 |
| tsimpson | and no reply to /msg, so I just removed | 09:14 |
| Myrtti | right | 09:15 |
| Myrtti | well, I can't see what harm that command would do without defining what would be deleted, but YMMV | 09:15 |
| tsimpson | indeed, that's why I tried to /msg first | 09:15 |
| tsimpson | but seeing as it wasn't in response to anyone and was the only message they posted... | 09:16 |
| rww | odd. maybe they mistyped into IRC instead of a terminal :\ | 09:16 |

| knome | what? | 18:31 |
| Myrtti | oh for goodness sake | 18:42 |
| knome | congrats | 18:43 |
| rwr | why am I going in here instead of #ubuntu? | 18:44 |
| Myrtti | because we want you to discuss about something | 18:45 |
| Myrtti | you are using epic5 script package? | 18:46 |
| rwr | what are you talking about? | 18:46 |
| rwr | yeh | 18:46 |
| rwr | something wrogn with the script? | 18:46 |
| Myrtti | could you be kind enough to remove some of the quit messages it randomly uses? | 18:46 |
| rwr | sure | 18:46 |
| Myrtti | there's one that made me retch of disgust last night | 18:47 |
| rwr | sorry | 18:47 |
| rwr | I was not aware of it | 18:47 |
| === rwr is now known as rawrite | ||
| Myrtti | thanks for your co-operation. I don't know what the developers were thinking when they conjured the "candy is dandy but chloroform keeps them still while I molest them" or something like that | 18:48 |
| rawrite | and was confused why I was joining here instead of #ubuntu | 18:48 |
| rawrite | sorry. I need to remove the lame epic script | 18:48 |
| rawrite | not worth it | 18:48 |
| Myrtti | yeah, that happens, sorry bout... | 18:48 |
| Myrtti | that. | 18:52 |
| charlie-tca | lol | 18:55 |
| charlie-tca | at least they were agreeable :-) | 18:55 |
| Myrtti | I could've complained about the banevasion but I figured it wasn't worth the time and effort | 18:56 |
| * charlie-tca nods | 18:56 | |
| Myrtti | if I see that quit message again I'll be most annoyed | 18:57 |
| jussi | Myrtti: well handled :) | 20:43 |

| ubottu | In #ubuntu, PerSeL said: ubottu: the 36 is stable I've checked | 22:14 |
| _Synergy_ | Ubuntu Ops please fix your bots. Every day I join Freenode on port #7000 (SSL) and your bots refuse me access to #ubuntu saying I have https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit. This has been going on for a long time. Disable that bot or fix it! | 22:19 |
| _Synergy_ | Thanks | 22:19 |
| rww | _Synergy_: I've already PMed you about this. If it's fixed, type "test me" in #ubuntu-read-topic. | 22:20 |
| rww | as that channel's /topic tells you. | 22:20 |
| _Synergy_ | The 'test me' option does not work. And it's beside the point | 22:20 |
| _Synergy_ | the bot should not be interfering with me anyways | 22:20 |
| rww | It does work. It is in fact currently working | 22:20 |
| _Synergy_ | I do not have that exploit, I'm not even on the right port | 22:21 |
| rww | It is now done. Have a nice day. | 22:21 |
| _Synergy_ | Your right - it's working today | 22:21 |
| _Synergy_ | But it's still not working the way it should. | 22:21 |
| _Synergy_ | thanks | 22:21 |
| rww | !virus | 22:39 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 22:39 |
| rww | !linuxvirus | 22:39 |
| ubottu | The short life and hard times of a Linux Virus http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 22:39 |
| rww | Seems like these could be merged? | 22:39 |
| rww | pleia2: What's the status on setting up a poll for the IRCC appointment process? I guess Christmas got in the way of it? :) | 23:09 |
| pleia2 | rww: yeah, we need lp admins to get us a full list of email addresses from the irc-members group | 23:10 |
| pleia2 | I think canonical is snoozing for the holidays | 23:10 |
| pleia2 | once we have the list we can set up the condorcet poll | 23:10 |
| pleia2 | the dropping of polls by LP has been a bit of a disaster TBH (I was under the impression that they'd be *adding* features to polling, not getting rid of them entirely!) | 23:11 |
| rww | LP could do with an "Export to CIVS" feature. I know Ubuntu Women has the same issue, and I imagine others do too. | 23:12 |
| pleia2 | yeah, akgraner had to go to the lp admins to | 23:12 |
| pleia2 | too | 23:12 |
| pleia2 | now with complete removal of polls everyone will need to, it's bad | 23:12 |
| pleia2 | I wish I knew why this happened, or where the discussion about it was :( | 23:13 |
| pleia2 | anyway, sorry for the off-topicness, and apologies for not having a poll yet, I'm trying! | 23:13 |
| rww | or just make user email addresses available to leaders of groups that the user is in, and have a warning about that on joining a group if the user's email address is hidden. iono. | 23:14 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 23:14 |
| pleia2 | oh and I'll extend Pici and jussi's terms another week if it comes to that, but I'm still hoping we get a poll in the next couple of days :) | 23:14 |
| rww | thanks for working on it, either way. I'm not trying to rush you, was just wondering if I missed something :) | 23:16 |
| tonyyarusso | pleia2: it would probably be faster to just manually send everyone an e-mail through LP... | 23:20 |
| rww | tonyyarusso: Assuming you value the anonymity stuff in CIVS, that doesn't work. | 23:20 |
| pleia2 | tonyyarusso: the email addresses needed to be added to CIVS | 23:21 |
| pleia2 | plus you are limited to how many you can send per day (maybe 20 or so?) | 23:21 |
| pleia2 | so either way, it doesn't really work | 23:21 |
| tonyyarusso | rww: what is CIVS? | 23:21 |
| pleia2 | the condorcet poll | 23:21 |
| rww | tonyyarusso: Condorcet Internet Voting System | 23:21 |
| tonyyarusso | oooh, I see now. | 23:21 |
| rww | Service ** | 23:21 |
| rww | You set up a poll and feed it email addresses, it emails each address with a unique voting link, and then forgets the email addresses. so votes aren't tied to an individual at all. | 23:22 |
| tonyyarusso | pleia2: for the latter Canonical_response_time > len(ubuntu-irc-members) / 20 | 23:22 |
| pleia2 | yeah, but you still have the CIVS problem, since it's not linked to LP | 23:23 |
| pleia2 | to get all the addresses I could use a script to grab all the addresses, then contact everyone who doesn't have a public address... | 23:23 |
| rww | the other option is using launchpadlib to pull public email addresses and then emailing ubuntu-irc saying to email $contact_person if you weren't in the pulled list, but that gets messy. | 23:23 |
| pleia2 | but this idea kind of givs me a headache :) | 23:23 |
| Pici | CIVS sounds like it could be a disease | 23:23 |
| rww | which is what I did at some point for something | 23:23 |
| rww | pleia2: yeah, it's a hassle | 23:23 |
| rww | I'd wait on Canonical, especially since this isn't really time-sensitive imho. | 23:24 |
| pleia2 | I'll appeal directly to Mark if we don't get movement soon (I know he's *around* he was even answering mail on christmas) | 23:24 |
| tonyyarusso | Pici: agreed | 23:24 |
| tonyyarusso | pleia2: Those bloody open-source hippie heathens! ;) | 23:25 |
| pleia2 | tonyyarusso: I know! (I'm one of them) | 23:25 |
| tonyyarusso | Actually, I was online on Christmas too - all of our actual stuff happens on Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day is "sit around in your pajamas until you decide maybe you should change at least for dinner" day. | 23:29 |
| rww | I volunteered for work hours on Christmas Day (and New Years Day, actually). Free money :) | 23:30 |
| Pici | yay, free money | 23:30 |
| * tonyyarusso wonders how "I worked" equates to "free" | 23:34 | |
| rww | tonyyarusso: not many people return library books on Christmas Day. I did a negligable amount of work. | 23:35 |
| rww | Maybe this is an odd mindset, but I like my job, so unless it's busy and stressful, it's free money :) | 23:35 |
| rww | and we're understaffed, so it's usually not free money right now :< | 23:35 |
