| rww | note to self: #ubuntu users don't take advice well. don't bother offering it. | 01:05 |
|---|---|---|
| h00k | rww: I don't take your advice, either. | 01:05 |
| * h00k plugs ears and hums | 01:05 | |
| * rww attempts and fails to warn h00k about the piano falling from window above :( | 01:06 | |
| h00k | Oh, look, rww is dancing. What is this impending, growing shadow? | 01:07 |
| rww | and the award for most confusing message of the day goes to xyz in #ubuntu. | 02:27 |
| IdleOne | that was disturbing | 02:29 |
| rww | 29.34 hours until full moon. | 02:44 |
| Pici | The Moon is Waning Gibbous (98% of Full) | 02:47 |
| rww | ah. i fail at reading wolfram alpha output | 02:51 |
| rww | this makes more sense, it has been an annoying week. | 02:51 |
| Pici | I was using pom, from the bsdgames package. | 02:51 |
| h00k | lee__ is interesting, I can't decide if it's a troll or not. | 02:59 |
| Pici | Maybe I'm just not used to #ubuntu at this time of the night, but it seems like theres a lot of offtopicness in there | 03:00 |
| h00k | yes | 03:01 |
| tonyyarusso | Pici: where are you pulling that data from? | 03:49 |
| * tonyyarusso is curious how close his script is | 03:49 | |
| tonyyarusso | Moon face is 95% illuminated. || Moon phase: Waning gibbous || Next full moon is on Thursday 17 February | 03:49 |
| Pici | tonyyarusso: 21:51:55 <Pici> I was using pom, from the bsdgames package. | 03:49 |
| tonyyarusso | I wonder what your source means by "98% of full". | 03:49 |
| tonyyarusso | Pici: ah | 03:49 |
| elky | January has never been relevant to the Moon Theory. | 03:50 |
| tonyyarusso | yeah, pom has a way more complex algorithm tha mine. | 03:53 |
| rww | there's always a full moon in #ubuntu-offtopic. but sometimes it's more full than others. | 03:54 |
| * tonyyarusso is feeling rather inclined to try an experiment in -ot | 04:36 | |
| rww | is it +r? please say it's +r | 04:36 |
| tonyyarusso | No, but close. | 04:36 |
| tonyyarusso | Block webchat. | 04:36 |
| tonyyarusso | although that would work too | 04:37 |
| rww | we lose aubade either way :( | 04:38 |
| * rww scrolls through log to see if anyone else he likes uses webchat | 04:38 | |
| tonyyarusso | aubade has a nickserv account | 04:39 |
| rww | nope | 04:39 |
| rww | (to both the scrolling and aubade having a nickserv account, that is) | 04:39 |
| tonyyarusso | rww: account 'aubade' Registered : Dec 21 03:42:48 2010 (4 weeks, 3 days, 00:56:10 ago) | 04:43 |
| rww | an imposter :( | 04:43 |
| tonyyarusso | really? sad | 04:43 |
| tonyyarusso | Well, serves him right for not registering I guess. | 04:43 |
| rww | but yeah, I like registration requirement better than banning webchat. some people can't use a real client (at work or behind proxy or something), but everyone can register, afaik. | 04:45 |
| rww | although either way is not ideal because it hinders redirecting offtopic people to -ot from #ubuntu | 04:45 |
| tonyyarusso | You know though, most of those redirected people are the problem anyway :S | 04:47 |
| rww | good point | 04:48 |
| tonyyarusso | You know what, I think I'll try a mute unregistered approach and see what happens. What say thee? | 04:48 |
| rww | +q $~a works for me. | 04:49 |
| tonyyarusso | We've had WAY too many extra-annoying people this week - something's gotta change :S | 04:49 |
| rww | might want to run it by more people, though. I'm not exactly great at judgement when it comes to -ot ;P | 04:49 |
| tonyyarusso | forgiveness, permission, and all that :P | 04:49 |
| elky | You might want to email the -irc list too | 04:53 |
| tonyyarusso | oh, perhaps. Might as well at least give it a few minutes first to see if anything explodes before I bother writing an e-mail :P | 04:55 |
| * tonyyarusso stabs eightyeight | 04:59 | |
| tonyyarusso | Now I'm getting reply-all spam because he sent a Facebook message to 300 people, and reply-all is the idiotic facebook default :( | 04:59 |
| rww | didn't he quit facebook | 04:59 |
| tonyyarusso | yes, hence the message | 05:00 |
| tonyyarusso | well, s/did/will/ | 05:00 |
| rww | does facebook have a bcc: option, or is it completely useless :(? | 05:04 |
| tonyyarusso | useless | 05:05 |
| elky | facebook is useless? say it isn't so. | 05:08 |
| IdleOne | Say it ain't so Joe please, say it ain't soooooooooooooo | 05:08 |
| elky | http://whatever.scalzi.com/2011/01/19/and-now-for-no-particular-reason-a-rant-about-facebook/ | 05:09 |
| rww | I quit Facebook before it was cool! | 05:09 |
| elky | "The answer is simple enough: Facebook is what happens to the Web when you hit it with the stupid stick. It’s a dumbed-down version of the functionality the Web already had, just not all in one place at one time." | 05:09 |
| rww | and then I rejoined it. and then I quit again, also before it was cool! | 05:10 |
| elky | did people mistake you for read write web there too? | 05:10 |
| rww | no | 05:10 |
| === IdleOne is now known as gpc | ||
| rww | gpc: what you do | 05:11 |
| gpc | what I do? | 05:11 |
| gpc | I do lots of nothing and I am really good at it | 05:11 |
| gpc | I want a raise! | 05:12 |
| rww | i forget, are those your initials | 05:12 |
| gpc | they could be | 05:12 |
| gpc | yes they are | 05:12 |
| rww | welcome to the awesome club | 05:12 |
| gpc | I checked to see if the nick was registered, it wasn't. | 05:13 |
| gpc | now it's mine | 05:13 |
| elky | heh | 05:14 |
| gpc | been considering a nick change for a while. | 05:15 |
| rww | i like this one better | 05:15 |
| gpc | going to try this on for a bit and see how it feels | 05:15 |
| elky | You should probably have done it quietly and in the middle of a netsplit when the logbot was dead. It'd throw the trolls off for at least a day. | 05:17 |
| rww | make sure to put gqc and other random silliness on highlight. people can't read :( | 05:18 |
| gpc | yeah, I don't make my nick changes according to how it effects trolls. Last thing on my mind is trolls but if it makes them happy to harass me that is great. | 05:19 |
| rww | affects | 05:19 |
| gpc | affects thank you | 05:19 |
| rww | someone did that like five times in an email i read today and it made me twitch :< | 05:19 |
| rww | I think gpc's volunteering to be a troll lightning rod. | 05:20 |
| gpc | I don't think they really need volunteers | 05:20 |
| elky | I think I heard that too. | 05:21 |
| gpc | hey my full name was plastered all over freenode for a week. Great job finding that on the web btw, not like it wasn't already public. | 05:21 |
| elky | Heh | 05:22 |
| gpc | Just watched a documentary on Rush (the band) they truly are the best band ever. | 05:23 |

| Tm_T | did I spoil your fun? (;) | 09:46 |
| elky | no. | 09:47 |
| Tm_T | while we're at it, apparently there's already some folks panicing of the Ubuntu Qt inclusion | 09:48 |
| jussi | come on, we knew the Qt thing was coming for ages... | 10:10 |
| Tm_T | jussi: already had one in -ot trying to get some fud-panic up | 10:10 |
| jussi | Tm_T: fudmeisters and panic feeders are always about... | 10:11 |
| Tm_T | I already see some "leave our gnome alone!" type of reactions coming | 10:13 |
| Tm_T | work -> | 10:13 |

| Tm_T | staff should know | 12:01 |
| elky | becuase there's too much staff turnover | 12:02 |
| elky | in a hundred years time when GMS finally gets finished, it'll be easier to stop that stuff | 12:02 |

| Pici | h00k: quiets unregistered users. | 18:09 |
| Pici | Looks like tonyyarusso discussed setting it last night, but there was no email sent about it. I'm removing it until there is further discussion about its ramifications. | 18:09 |
| Pici | h00k: and you don't need to be opped to check it ;) | 18:10 |
| h00k | Gotcha. | 18:13 |
| h00k | Pici: yeah, I did /modes on accident. Opped me, said there's no mode to set, and deopped me. | 18:14 |

| h00k | oh, $~a unregistered, makes sense. | 18:14 |
