r00t4rd3dis there something wrong with floodbot ?01:51
r00t4rd3dit keeps flooding....01:51
r00t4rd3dsets j , unsets j and on on on on01:52
IdleOneCould someone explain why the bots keep setting +j -j ?02:13
rwwbecause FloodBot2 thinks it's in emergency mode and the rest don't. I just restarted 2, hopefully that'll fix it.02:14
rwwfyi, I got a PM from GreenTree, webchat from user-0cdfjit.cable.mindspring.com/24.215.206.93, calling me a pansy, so it appears Gretchen from yesterday decided to wander outside of the range my IP bans are set on ;(02:15
elkyand 4 of the 6 on @24.* are in #u02:23
elkythough, none of them using webchat02:24
elkyrww, was the ident still starting with 182?02:25
rwwHe's still online as GreenTree, and we don't share any channels, so I guess he's not bored enough right now or something/02:25
rwwelky: 18d7ce5d02:25
rwwgateway idents are a hexidecimal representation of the IP. so first two are the same because the 24 is the same, but the rest isn't.02:26
elkythere is only one other webchat person on from 24.* and they're only in freenode and defocus02:27
rwwnick?02:27
elkysatsujin02:28
rwwwrong ISP, so I think we're good for now.02:28
elkyyep so ban 18*@gateway/web/freenode/ip.24*02:30
elkyim doubting gretchen is going to install a client02:30
rwwsome of his previous instances were on clients. one was on a shellhost :\02:30
elkyah02:30
elkywe'll deal with them when/if they arise02:31
elkyjust obstruct him as much as possible now02:31
rwwI think banning any webchat users on 24.* is a little overbroad, personally. Would rather leave things as they are until he tries joining again.02:31
bearblack_hello i am back after about 2 days. 1 day you said for me to go away for a night02:34
bearblack_primal focus is to have ability to join #ubuntu in the future02:35
bearblack_if it helps, i  did throw up yesterday 6 times in a row02:36
bearblack_got the flue my parents had02:36
IdleOnehow is that supposed to help us?02:36
bearblack_ubuntu is more than just an operating system. it is a community. almost a way of life02:37
bearblack_by me sharing with you personal facts of my life, it opens doors02:37
FlannelHowdy bearblack_.  Let me take a look02:37
bearblack_i really enjoyed that linux viruses page in the ubuntu wiki. it had a link to the bukowsi project and i learned quite a bit02:40
bearblack_one really begins to appreciate the thought put into things, such as ubuntu and linux02:41
bearblack_odd. no ubuntu open source females in florida02:48
Flannelbearblack_: I'm not sure how that relates to the task at hand02:49
bearblack_what task would you have me do02:49
bearblack_i can program02:49
rwwelky: I think for ircd-eight, I'll ask for $troll extban feature. Magically stops any collateral damage ;(02:53
ubottuIn #ubuntu, NixGeek said: !no gender is <reply> I'm an awesome bot, so of course I must be male02:54
rwwubottu: notreally-#ubuntu-offtopic > NixGeek02:55
bearblack_so whats up02:55
Flannelbearblack_: What have you done over the past few days, besides getting sick, that you think would warrant the ability to rejoin #ubuntu today?02:56
bearblack_i have learned to be more tolerant02:57
bearblack_and laugh at myself and not be so serious all the time02:57
bearblack_i actually want friends now. not fame.02:57
Flannelbearblack_: How is this different than the last time or two you've been in this same situation?02:59
bearblack_this time i have no doubts. i am simply a changed person.02:59
bearblack_before i would overload my self with expectations of what i need to be worth something03:00
bearblack_but now i know that every little thing i can do can count and there is no pressure03:00
Flannelbearblack_: And if you were let into #ubuntu, you'd be able to actually follow the code of conduct and IRC guidelines?  I know you've said at least twice in the past that you've read and agree to them.03:03
bearblack_yes. the only thing i will do is ask questions or provide solutions if i have a good answer03:07
Flannelbearblack_: Alright.  I've gone ahead and removed your ban in #ubuntu.  Please join there and say something so I can verify I've got everything03:08
bearblack_it should of shown up03:09
Flannelbearblack_: Yep.  Alright, you're all set up it seems.03:11
bearblack_ty and have a nice night/day. going to go read stuff03:12
IdleOnemarcules: anything we can help you with?03:12
marculesÄh? No?03:13
marculesDon't know which channel redirected me here03:13
rwwmarcules: one sec, I'm checking into it03:14
IdleOneyou were sent here because of a inappropriate comment you made in #ubuntu03:14
marculeswhat03:15
rwwIdleOne: I'll handle it, it's my ban03:15
IdleOneno problem03:15
rwwmarcules: I banforwarded you from #ubuntu because your /quit message was inappropriate for #ubuntu.03:15
marculesI don't even know what my current quit message is… let me check03:16
rwwmarcules: Part of our channel guidelines is that messages, including /quit messages, need to be family friendly. The one you had was about some celebrity (I think?) and asking for nude photos.03:16
marculeslol :D03:16
rwwIf you change it, I'll remove the ban.03:16
marculesI'll translate it, if you'd like ^^03:16
rwwI had Google do that already. Unless my summary above is wrong, I think we get the idea.03:17
marculesIt's about Wikileaks (Vici Lieks) and a boulevard-"paper" here03:18
marculesBut I could exclude #ubuntu from my autojoin-list if you'd like03:19
rwwmarcules: Hrm, now that you've enlightened me on what a Vici Lieks is... with the caveat that it's rather borderline, I'll remove the ban. I'd prefer it if the /quit message changed, but I'm not going to exclude you from #ubuntu for it.03:21
marculesI'd change it for #ubuntu but xchat doesn't support channel specific quit-messages03:22
rwwindeed. It's not supported by the IRC protocol itself, in fact :(03:22
marculeshm :\03:23
marculesI'll look for another one, but I found this rather amusing :D03:23
Jordan_Umarcules: You can always leave #ubuntu before quitting.03:23
marculesyeah, but I'm not sure if I'll remember this every time03:23
rwwI'll admit, I find it amusing. The issue is that since it's borderline, you might end up getting pulled in here again by another op with a different (but still understandable, imho) definition of "family friendly".03:24
marculesIt'll be changed ;)03:26
rwwalrighty. thanks for understanding :)03:27
rwweither way, I've removed your ban, so you're free to /join #ubuntu, with the caveat that if this comes up again, I'll defer to the judgement of the other op.03:29
IdleOnemarcules: I am glad everything is resolved now. Kindly part the channel as per the no idling policy in this channel. Thank you.03:37
elkyIdleOne, i know you didn't mean it in this way, but "kindly <do action>" is read in the tone of "<do action> kthxbai!" to many folks.03:39
elkyJust something to be aware of.03:39
rwwelky: did you bring enough pastries for the whole class? ;(03:40
IdleOnewill keep that in mind03:40
IdleOnethank you elky03:40
Flannelrww: I hope so! I'm hungry!03:40
IdleOneI have canollis in the fridge03:40
* IdleOne is embarrassed to say i am not sure about the spelling03:40
elkyIdleOne, no problem. I think its interpretation is taken from some tv show i'm not familiar with or something, but i know it's been sore for some folks03:41
elkyIdleOne, two n's i think03:41
IdleOnetwo n's 1 l03:41
IdleOneanyway they are yummy03:41
FlannelIdleOne: Cinnamon rolls are better03:43
IdleOnein the morning with coffee, yup03:43
elkyi was opped up?03:48
IdleOnefor a minute03:48
elkyoh, probably leftover from removing gretchen's ban for this channe03:48
Flannelelky: For 17 hours!03:49
Flanneland yes03:49
Flanneler, no.  From setting it, looks like.03:49
Flanneloh wait, theyre next to each other, from removing it! pay no attention to my previous comment03:50
elkyFlannel, i removed it,03:50
Flannelelky: You set it too03:50
elkywell yes, but chicken, egg, etc03:50
rwwchicken03:50

elkytonyyarusso, How's your australian geography?07:11
elkyTell me what's wrong with this picture: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/12/30/article-0-0C9A810A000005DC-731_634x574.jpg07:11
tonyyarussoelky: terrible, but I'll look anyway07:11
mneptokelky: are Cylons coming?07:11
tonyyarussowth is "Capricornia"?07:12
elkyYar.07:12
elkyThis is precisely our query too.07:12
elkyWTG DailyFail07:12
rww"The people of northern North Queensland, sometimes called "Far North Queensland" [8] or "Capricornia", have long held views and self-identification distinct from that of the southern parts of the state."07:12
rwwit's the Quebec of Australia!07:12
mneptokhostie ...07:12
elkyLike seriously where did they /find/ that map?07:13
Flannelhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Queensland07:13
tonyyarussorww: well done07:13
tonyyarussoPoor parallel though.  Quebec wants to be a separate country, not a separate state within a country.  It's already its own province.07:14
elkyTell them to call the dailymail07:14
tonyyarussoMore accurate would be to compare it to the calls for northern Ontario to split from southern Ontario.07:14
rwwtonyyarusso: one step at a time!07:14
FlannelWhile we're at it, should cut California in half too!07:15
tonyyarussohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ontario#Secession_movement07:15
rwwI like how none of the comments on that article mention Capricornia, and 90% of them are about global climate change07:15
* tonyyarusso is mad about climate-induced oddities07:16
tonyyarussoWe got two feet of beautiful snow, and then lost of bunch of it when it decided to shoot up above freezing and dump inches of RAIN on it.07:17
macotonyyarusso: friday i was skiing and decided i'd do 30 runs then go in. as i was riding the lift for run #30, it started raining. good call, eh?09:11
tonyyarussoindeed09:12
tonyyarussoI had to throw tarps over my work-in-progress quinzee to try to save it from total destruction09:13
tonyyarussoIt's probably all ice now though :(09:13
* rww glances at elky, puts popcorn in microwave, watches -bugs09:34
elkyis this someone you're familiar with?09:34
rwwno, but redirecting people who sound like five year olds to a dev channel usually ends badly/amusingly/both09:35
elkythis is true09:35
rww(and yes, he did actually join there)09:35
elkyrww, he's bored again11:48
elkylol11:49
rwwhe said he wasn't using Windows and then the room got silent for a while and I got bored and left11:49
rwws/Windows/Ubuntu/11:50
elkyOk. I'm diagnosing "troll".11:54
rwwnah, he's actually on an iPhone11:54
rwwCTCP VERSION reply from Will_k: Colloquy 1.3.2 (5075) - iPhone OS 4.1 (ARM) - http://colloquy.mobi11:54
elkySure, but the first thing any windows user does when bored and on an iphone is to whine about boredom to a bunch of Linux geeks?11:55
elkyAnd ask for something to do.11:55
rwwTake a survey of OS usage in #ubuntu-offtopic. Pretty sure about half of the active users don't use Ubuntu ;(11:55
elkySure, but this kid isn't even a regular11:56
elkyhe's just appeared out of nowhere11:56
rwwhe's getting removed from the channel next time he fails at language appropriateness, but he's not a troll because of OS11:56
rwwit's eternal january. the winter school vacation that feels like it's never going to end ;(11:56
elkyi didn't say he was a troll because of OS. i said it because he's wandered in from nowhere and whined about boredom and turned down every suggestion since11:57
rwwfun fact: he averages 3 words per line. seriously.11:59
rwwoh, wait, no, 4.2 words. my eye skipped a row.12:00
rwwhow did chickens turn into meth. that channel is insane.12:06
elkyare you in agreement with me yet?12:12
rwwon a related note, I absolutely adore that new ubottu feature where it parses removal messages.12:13
elkyI'm thinking about going in to someone's community area and demanding to be fanned and fed grapes. Then, when i don't get enough attention, i'll accuse them all of being rude. Who wants to join me?12:17

LjLgenii-around: french press doesn't make very good coffee, at least in my mom's opinion who is quite a bit more of a coffee connoiseur than me. if you like american-style coffee though, i keep hearing about this weird, extremely simple (but not exceptionally cheap) "aeropress" thing15:35
