[00:01] <rww> indeed. 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.
[01:25] <rww> LetsGo67 is now PMing me asking whether his gameboy thing will shock him. I don't think he understands my point :\
[01:31] <gnomefreak> ok it seems that the libreoffice PPA doesnt give you the PPA lines to add
[01:32] <IdleOne> add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
[01:33] <gnomefreak> well damn that is too easy :)
[01:34] <IdleOne> also you could of done
[01:34] <IdleOne> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu maverick main
[01:34] <IdleOne> deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu maverick main
[01:34] <gnomefreak> will it be nice and add it to my sources.list file or just the software sources
[01:34] <IdleOne> edit for correct version
[01:34] <IdleOne> should add it to sources.list
[01:34] <gnomefreak> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ubuntu natty main
[01:34] <gnomefreak> oh forgot ppas
[01:35] <gnomefreak> ppa
[01:35] <gnomefreak> IdleOne: thanks
[01:35] <IdleOne> if you click on Technical details about this PPA @ https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa it shows you the deb lines
[01:36] <IdleOne> no problem
[01:36] <gnomefreak> i dont see that on https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa/+packages
[01:36] <gnomefreak> oh i see the +packages is wrong
[01:48]  * Jordan_U suspects that boldfilter in #ubuntu is a troll
[01:53] <nhandler> Jordan_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 bit
[01:53] <IdleOne> rww: isn't bearblack in -women ban evading?
[01:54] <Myrtti> gnomefreak: 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 them
[01:55] <Myrtti> atleast, this is what I've been told by people wiser than me
[01:55] <Myrtti> I've never actually seen how it should work, back in the Windows days I used other means.
[01:55] <IdleOne> Myrtti: in file sharing channels on other networks, that is what !list is used for
[01:56] <IdleOne> and yes usually illegal file sharing
[01:56] <gnomefreak> oh
[01:58] <Myrtti> the 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 stuff
[01:58] <IdleOne> there are a couple of very popular mirc scripts such as omen-script that use ! as a command prefix
[01:58] <Myrtti> atleast that's my theory ;-)
[01:58] <Myrtti> a sort of backdoor way of saving face
[02:00] <IdleOne> it actually uses @ moreso but also has !commands
[02:00] <IdleOne> anyway, a lot today about nothing.
[02:00] <IdleOne> :)
[02:02] <Myrtti> *sigh* three weeks in berlin, flights leaving in <12 hours and I've barely packed. Fun times.
[02:03] <IdleOne> Myrtti: what was that link for the board game you posted earlier today?
[02:03] <IdleOne> was that you?
[02:04] <Myrtti> probably wasn't me, but if we're talking of board games, Ticket to Ride Europe is fun
[02:04] <Myrtti> mind you, I'm so tired I can't even remember what I ate for dinner
[02:05] <IdleOne> haha it was you in -ot
[02:05] <Myrtti> oh, yeah. Angry Birds.
[02:05] <IdleOne> yup
[02:05] <Myrtti> I'm such a sad case, I needed to lastlog myself to see
[02:06] <IdleOne> I just linked pleia2 about it cuz she mentioned birds and pigs
[02:07] <IdleOne> blog to be posted in a few weeks from her hehe
[02:08] <Myrtti> right, need sleepzors.
[02:08] <Myrtti> nightynight lovelies
[02:08] <IdleOne> night
[02:10] <rww> IdleOne: nope. they're a known issue from -ot, though
[02:11] <IdleOne> rww: ok so it is the same person
[02:11] <tonyyarusso> hmm, how much should I charge someone to take apart and clean a laptop that was spilled on?
[02:11] <IdleOne> $50
[02:11] <IdleOne> sounds fair to me
[02:12]  * tonyyarusso was thinking higher
[02:12] <IdleOne> depends who it is
[02:12] <IdleOne> family?
[02:12] <tonyyarusso> No, daughter of coworker of family.
[02:13] <IdleOne> $80-$100
[02:13] <rww> IdleOne: according to my internet detective log grepping, yes
[02:14] <IdleOne> tonyyarusso: you could call up local shops and see what they would charge
[02:15] <IdleOne> but cleaning a laptop is a pain to be honest, sure you want to do it?
[02:15] <tonyyarusso> dunno
[02:15] <IdleOne> call around see what they would charge you
[02:15] <rww> It'll end up breaking because of the spill anyway. I wouldn't work on it, personally.
[02:15] <IdleOne> do it for $20 less, see if you can get info on time it would take to get it done
[02:16] <rww> but I'm non-confrontational, don't like people complaining about my work :(
[02:18] <IdleOne> tonyyarusso: I got a better idea
[02:19] <IdleOne> call around for best price and do it for $40 more, take it to the shop and then pick when it is done. :)
[02:19] <tonyyarusso> ha
[02:19] <IdleOne> not kidding :/
[02:19] <rww> I 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 ;P
[02:20] <IdleOne> I think the question here is not how much to charge but more is it something you really want to do.
[02:20] <IdleOne> laptops are a pain
[02:51] <rww> DaGeek247: hello
[03:03] <rww> DaGeek247: Anything we can help you with?
[03:27]  * rww ponders unmuting ryaxnb and seeing if 5 days of social isolation did him any good
[03:29] <elky> If he hasn't noticed, then I doubt it.
[03:32] <tonyyarusso> Related question:  Has it done the channel any harm?
[03:33] <rww> not that I can tell
[03:33] <rww> assuming you mean the +q
[03:37] <IdleOne> it has been a lot quieter the past few days
[08:55] <elky> IdleOne, it's pretty much the wrong time of year to take ebb and flow to be any kind of indicator for pretty much anything.
[09:08] <rww> Hrm, any sign of that JackOfHearts/marcusdavidus guy today?
[09:09] <rww> ... hell of a hostmask on that Pr0n guy. Didn't notice that.
[09:10]  * rww ponders
[09:10] <jussi> rww: bleh, not nice at all
[09:11] <rww> ah, jussi is quicker than me.
[11:48] <bazhang> ton of !seen bot in #u
[11:49] <Tm_T> if someone has a time to find out the owner etc...
[11:50] <bazhang> tsimpson, thanks
[11:50] <Tm_T> that works too
[11:52] <tsimpson> if it was one, I may be more tolerant, but 5...
[11:52] <Tm_T> agreed
[12:03] <gnomefreak> we were talkig about libreoffice. i found out you did not need to remove OO.o to install it, however there are depends issues
[12:15] <gnomefreak> depends issues fixed :)
[12:41] <gnomefreak> what does metabot look for before tell ing us someone asked a question?
[12:42] <tsimpson> it looks for something like a question, then waits a while to see if someone "answers" them
[12:42] <tsimpson> that is, someone replies with the nick prefixed
[12:43] <gnomefreak> oh i was leavning the "?" out of it so it woulkdnt ping me but that didnt work
[12:45] <tsimpson> yeah, it doesn't require the '?', as many people don't always phrase their request as a question
[12:45] <tsimpson> or are just lazy and miss off the punctuation
[12:54] <LjL> gnomefreak: it uses a bayesian filter to decide whether something is a question. it's basically like your antispam filter
[12:54] <jussi> 4 mins iirc
[12:54] <jussi> oh, its a LjL! hai LjL!
[12:54] <gnomefreak> LjL: ah thanks
[12:56] <LjL> hey jussi
[12:57] <gnomefreak> hi LjL jussi
[13:02] <jussi> you know, sometimes you see the funniest hostnames... [14:51:02] --> skyvalve (~skyvalve@katiekitty.is.a.princess.who.uses.unixz.tk) has joined #kubuntu-offtopic
[13:48] <IdleOne> unbanned with the hope that he gets the idea now.
[13:57] <gnomefreak> good luck with that ;)
[13:57] <IdleOne> hasn't returned yet
[13:57] <IdleOne> I guess he got the idea and one less ban in the list
[13:57] <gnomefreak> they _always_ return
[13:58] <IdleOne> sooner or later yeah
[14:00] <gnomefreak> its seems OO.o will be upgraded when you install libreoffice
[14:06] <ryaxnb> why am i +q in #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:07] <IdleOne> ryaxnb: not sure but hold a few minutes and see if one of the -ot ops is around
[14:07] <ryaxnb> i already saw you earlier :(
[14:07] <ryaxnb> i need an -ot op, also why arent you an ot op?
[14:07] <IdleOne> I never applied to be one
[14:08] <IdleOne> topyli: can you see what you can do about ryaxnb +q in -ot?
[14:08] <ryaxnb> :/
[14:08] <ryaxnb> yay for topyli
[14:08] <topyli> sure
[14:09] <ryaxnb> so can u un -q me
[14:09] <ryaxnb> as far as  i  know i was never warned about anything and quite frankly im baffled for the reason.
[14:09] <topyli> certainly
[14:09] <ryaxnb> could it be a system bork?
[14:09] <IdleOne> patience :)
[14:09] <topyli> well, hopefully!
[14:09] <ryaxnb> system borks :)
[14:10] <topyli> hrm. i already have once, apparently i didn't do it very well
[14:10] <ryaxnb> hehe
[14:11] <topyli> alright try yelling please :)
[14:11] <ryaxnb> yay, thanks
[14:12]  * gnomefreak hopes it wasnt me. im too tried to -q people until after my nap
[14:14] <topyli> the one who quieted ryaxnb? that was me. i have removed it too, but with my usual level of accuracy
[14:15] <IdleOne> he should be able to talk in there now
[14:16] <topyli> aye
[14:16] <IdleOne> he hasn't yet
[14:16] <topyli> for better or worse! :)
[14:44] <jussi> bwahahah
[14:45] <jpds> Random.
[17:03] <Myrtti> well, we did wonder how long it would take for him to find out he's been quieted
[17:40] <h00k> A very exciting morning, apparently, in #ubuntu
[17:52] <mneptok> either mvanle took the time to make the lamest $realname ever, or is connecting from 1999.
[18:38] <LjL> the *porn*@* chanserv ban really misfired
[19:06] <jpds> backfired?
[19:07] <LjL> misfired as in got the wrong person
[19:09] <genii-around> Those ##politics spambots are annoying
[19:10] <h00k> Yes
[21:07] <rww> aert: Hi. Something we can help you with?
[21:09] <aert> rww: hi, no thank you, i was just wondering what ubuntu gurus are talking about on irc :)
[21:10] <rww> aert: You may want to try #ubuntu, then. The -ops channel is just for resolving disputes, and is thus rather boring and un-guru-y ;)
[21:11] <IdleOne> ungurie*
[21:11] <aert> rww: lol, i get it.
[23:15] <fishscene> So 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?
[23:19] <IdleOne> fishscene: #freenode but you appear to be cloaked now.
[23:21] <fishscene> sorry, just a sec. Phone call :S
[23:22] <fishscene> Yea, somehow I got decloaked. ok Thanks for the info.
[23:23] <IdleOne> fishscene: if there is nothing else, please part the channel.
