rwwindeed. irssi's /unban can take more than four arguments at once and autosplits them into groups of four though, it seems. so not too bad. just something to remember.00:01
rwwLetsGo67 is now PMing me asking whether his gameboy thing will shock him. I don't think he understands my point :\01:25
gnomefreakok it seems that the libreoffice PPA doesnt give you the PPA lines to add01:31
IdleOneadd-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa01:32
gnomefreakwell damn that is too easy :)01:33
IdleOnealso you could of done01:34
IdleOnedeb http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu maverick main01:34
IdleOnedeb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu maverick main01:34
gnomefreakwill it be nice and add it to my sources.list file or just the software sources01:34
IdleOneedit for correct version01:34
IdleOneshould add it to sources.list01:34
gnomefreakdeb http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ubuntu natty main01:34
gnomefreakoh forgot ppas01:34
gnomefreakppa01:35
gnomefreakIdleOne: thanks01:35
IdleOneif you click on Technical details about this PPA @ https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa it shows you the deb lines01:35
IdleOneno problem01:36
gnomefreaki dont see that on https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa/+packages01:36
gnomefreakoh i see the +packages is wrong01:36
* Jordan_U suspects that boldfilter in #ubuntu is a troll01:48
nhandlerJordan_U: I'm not quite sure. Although some of the answers users are providing (due to not including much information) are dragging on the discussion quite a bit01:53
IdleOnerww: isn't bearblack in -women ban evading?01:53
Myrttignomefreak: for the record, !list is done on some networks for the clients which support it to display and/or send the requestee a list of pirated software/media downloadable, which the requestee can then request to be sent to them01:54
Myrttiatleast, this is what I've been told by people wiser than me01:55
MyrttiI've never actually seen how it should work, back in the Windows days I used other means.01:55
IdleOneMyrtti: in file sharing channels on other networks, that is what !list is used for01:55
IdleOneand yes usually illegal file sharing01:56
gnomefreakoh01:56
Myrttithe reason why !list on our bot mentions something about the bot commands is because a) some people really think that trigger might output the bot commands and b) for everyone to give the benefit of doubt and plausible deniability that the person who triggered the factoid really isn't after pirated stuff01:58
IdleOnethere are a couple of very popular mirc scripts such as omen-script that use ! as a command prefix01:58
Myrttiatleast that's my theory ;-)01:58
Myrttia sort of backdoor way of saving face01:58
IdleOneit actually uses @ moreso but also has !commands02:00
IdleOneanyway, a lot today about nothing.02:00
IdleOne:)02:00
Myrtti*sigh* three weeks in berlin, flights leaving in <12 hours and I've barely packed. Fun times.02:02
IdleOneMyrtti: what was that link for the board game you posted earlier today?02:03
IdleOnewas that you?02:03
Myrttiprobably wasn't me, but if we're talking of board games, Ticket to Ride Europe is fun02:04
Myrttimind you, I'm so tired I can't even remember what I ate for dinner02:04
IdleOnehaha it was you in -ot02:05
Myrttioh, yeah. Angry Birds.02:05
IdleOneyup02:05
MyrttiI'm such a sad case, I needed to lastlog myself to see02:05
IdleOneI just linked pleia2 about it cuz she mentioned birds and pigs02:06
IdleOneblog to be posted in a few weeks from her hehe02:07
Myrttiright, need sleepzors.02:08
Myrttinightynight lovelies02:08
IdleOnenight02:08
rwwIdleOne: nope. they're a known issue from -ot, though02:10
IdleOnerww: ok so it is the same person02:11
tonyyarussohmm, how much should I charge someone to take apart and clean a laptop that was spilled on?02:11
IdleOne$5002:11
IdleOnesounds fair to me02:11
* tonyyarusso was thinking higher02:12
IdleOnedepends who it is02:12
IdleOnefamily?02:12
tonyyarussoNo, daughter of coworker of family.02:12
IdleOne$80-$10002:13
rwwIdleOne: according to my internet detective log grepping, yes02:13
IdleOnetonyyarusso: you could call up local shops and see what they would charge02:14
IdleOnebut cleaning a laptop is a pain to be honest, sure you want to do it?02:15
tonyyarussodunno02:15
IdleOnecall around see what they would charge you02:15
rwwIt'll end up breaking because of the spill anyway. I wouldn't work on it, personally.02:15
IdleOnedo it for $20 less, see if you can get info on time it would take to get it done02:15
rwwbut I'm non-confrontational, don't like people complaining about my work :(02:16
IdleOnetonyyarusso: I got a better idea02:18
IdleOnecall around for best price and do it for $40 more, take it to the shop and then pick when it is done. :)02:19
tonyyarussoha02:19
IdleOnenot kidding :/02:19
rwwI usually take Best Buy's prices and halve them. I still end up with more money than I'd otherwise feel comfortable asking for, and it makes a good talking point ;P02:19
IdleOneI think the question here is not how much to charge but more is it something you really want to do.02:20
IdleOnelaptops are a pain02:20
rwwDaGeek247: hello02:51
rwwDaGeek247: Anything we can help you with?03:03
* rww ponders unmuting ryaxnb and seeing if 5 days of social isolation did him any good03:27
elkyIf he hasn't noticed, then I doubt it.03:29
tonyyarussoRelated question:  Has it done the channel any harm?03:32
rwwnot that I can tell03:33
rwwassuming you mean the +q03:33
IdleOneit has been a lot quieter the past few days03:37

elkyIdleOne, it's pretty much the wrong time of year to take ebb and flow to be any kind of indicator for pretty much anything.08:55
rwwHrm, any sign of that JackOfHearts/marcusdavidus guy today?09:08
ubottuxangua called the ops in #ubuntu (Pr0n)09:08

bazhangtsimpson, thanks11:50
Tm_Tthat works too11:50
tsimpsonif it was one, I may be more tolerant, but 5...11:52
Tm_Tagreed11:52
gnomefreakwe were talkig about libreoffice. i found out you did not need to remove OO.o to install it, however there are depends issues12:03
gnomefreakdepends issues fixed :)12:15
gnomefreakwhat does metabot look for before tell ing us someone asked a question?12:41
tsimpsonit looks for something like a question, then waits a while to see if someone "answers" them12:42
tsimpsonthat is, someone replies with the nick prefixed12:42
gnomefreakoh i was leavning the "?" out of it so it woulkdnt ping me but that didnt work12:43
tsimpsonyeah, it doesn't require the '?', as many people don't always phrase their request as a question12:45
tsimpsonor are just lazy and miss off the punctuation12:45
LjLgnomefreak: it uses a bayesian filter to decide whether something is a question. it's basically like your antispam filter12:54
jussi4 mins iirc12:54
jussioh, its a LjL! hai LjL!12:54
gnomefreakLjL: ah thanks12:54
LjLhey jussi12:56

gnomefreakits seems OO.o will be upgraded when you install libreoffice14:00
ryaxnbwhy am i +q in #ubuntu-offtopic14:06
IdleOneryaxnb: not sure but hold a few minutes and see if one of the -ot ops is around14:07
ryaxnbi already saw you earlier :(14:07
ryaxnbi need an -ot op, also why arent you an ot op?14:07

topylicertainly14:09
ryaxnbcould it be a system bork?14:09
IdleOnepatience :)14:09
topyliwell, hopefully!14:09
ryaxnbsystem borks :)14:09

ryaxnbhehe14:10
topylialright try yelling please :)14:11
ryaxnbyay, thanks14:11
* gnomefreak hopes it wasnt me. im too tried to -q people until after my nap14:12
topylithe one who quieted ryaxnb? that was me. i have removed it too, but with my usual level of accuracy14:14
IdleOnehe should be able to talk in there now14:15
topyliaye14:16

rwwaert: Hi. Something we can help you with?21:07
aertrww: hi, no thank you, i was just wondering what ubuntu gurus are talking about on irc :)21:09
rwwaert: You may want to try #ubuntu, then. The -ops channel is just for resolving disputes, and is thus rather boring and un-guru-y ;)21:10
IdleOneungurie*21:11
aertrww: lol, i get it.21:11

fishsceneSo apparently, I triggered the ubuntu spam bot and was kicked from the channel for being afk. However, upon further analysis, It seems I was de-registered from freenode, is there a channel for freenode ops?23:15
IdleOnefishscene: #freenode but you appear to be cloaked now.23:19
fishscenesorry, just a sec. Phone call :S23:21
fishsceneYea, somehow I got decloaked. ok Thanks for the info.23:22
IdleOnefishscene: if there is nothing else, please part the channel.23:23
