[01:05] note to self: #ubuntu users don't take advice well. don't bother offering it. [01:05] rww: I don't take your advice, either. [01:05] * h00k plugs ears and hums [01:06] * rww attempts and fails to warn h00k about the piano falling from window above :( [01:07] Oh, look, rww is dancing. What is this impending, growing shadow? [02:27] and the award for most confusing message of the day goes to xyz in #ubuntu. [02:29] that was disturbing [02:44] 29.34 hours until full moon. [02:47] The Moon is Waning Gibbous (98% of Full) [02:51] ah. i fail at reading wolfram alpha output [02:51] this makes more sense, it has been an annoying week. [02:51] I was using pom, from the bsdgames package. [02:59] lee__ is interesting, I can't decide if it's a troll or not. [03:00] 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 [03:01] yes [03:49] Pici: where are you pulling that data from? [03:49] * tonyyarusso is curious how close his script is [03:49] Moon face is 95% illuminated. || Moon phase: Waning gibbous || Next full moon is on Thursday 17 February [03:49] tonyyarusso: 21:51:55 I was using pom, from the bsdgames package. [03:49] I wonder what your source means by "98% of full". [03:49] Pici: ah [03:50] January has never been relevant to the Moon Theory. [03:53] yeah, pom has a way more complex algorithm tha mine. [03:54] there's always a full moon in #ubuntu-offtopic. but sometimes it's more full than others. [04:36] * tonyyarusso is feeling rather inclined to try an experiment in -ot [04:36] is it +r? please say it's +r [04:36] No, but close. [04:36] Block webchat. [04:37] although that would work too [04:38] we lose aubade either way :( [04:38] * rww scrolls through log to see if anyone else he likes uses webchat [04:39] aubade has a nickserv account [04:39] nope [04:39] (to both the scrolling and aubade having a nickserv account, that is) [04:43] rww: account 'aubade' Registered : Dec 21 03:42:48 2010 (4 weeks, 3 days, 00:56:10 ago) [04:43] an imposter :( [04:43] really? sad [04:43] Well, serves him right for not registering I guess. [04:45] 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] although either way is not ideal because it hinders redirecting offtopic people to -ot from #ubuntu [04:47] You know though, most of those redirected people are the problem anyway :S [04:48] good point [04:48] You know what, I think I'll try a mute unregistered approach and see what happens. What say thee? [04:49] +q $~a works for me. [04:49] We've had WAY too many extra-annoying people this week - something's gotta change :S [04:49] might want to run it by more people, though. I'm not exactly great at judgement when it comes to -ot ;P [04:49] forgiveness, permission, and all that :P [04:53] You might want to email the -irc list too [04:55] 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 [04:59] * tonyyarusso stabs eightyeight [04:59] 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] didn't he quit facebook [05:00] yes, hence the message [05:00] well, s/did/will/ [05:04] does facebook have a bcc: option, or is it completely useless :(? [05:05] useless [05:08] facebook is useless? say it isn't so. [05:08] Say it ain't so Joe please, say it ain't soooooooooooooo [05:09] http://whatever.scalzi.com/2011/01/19/and-now-for-no-particular-reason-a-rant-about-facebook/ [05:09] I quit Facebook before it was cool! [05:09] "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." [05:10] and then I rejoined it. and then I quit again, also before it was cool! [05:10] did people mistake you for read write web there too? [05:10] no === IdleOne is now known as gpc [05:11] gpc: what you do [05:11] what I do? [05:11] I do lots of nothing and I am really good at it [05:12] I want a raise! [05:12] i forget, are those your initials [05:12] they could be [05:12] yes they are [05:12] welcome to the awesome club [05:13] I checked to see if the nick was registered, it wasn't. [05:13] now it's mine [05:14] heh [05:15] been considering a nick change for a while. [05:15] i like this one better [05:15] going to try this on for a bit and see how it feels [05:17] 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. [05:18] make sure to put gqc and other random silliness on highlight. people can't read :( [05:19] 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] affects [05:19] affects thank you [05:19] someone did that like five times in an email i read today and it made me twitch :< [05:20] I think gpc's volunteering to be a troll lightning rod. [05:20] I don't think they really need volunteers [05:21] I think I heard that too. [05:21] 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. [05:22] Heh [05:23] Just watched a documentary on Rush (the band) they truly are the best band ever. [05:29] Yes they are [06:01] no need to ask what he's got in that briefcase. [06:38] !bcm43xx =~ s/ / / [06:38] I'll remember that rww [09:42] * gnome is now known as LDXE [09:42] hahaha [09:42] ze wishes. [09:42] LXDE? [09:43] (as in, is the typo in the nick intentional) [09:46] * elky shrugs [09:46] did I spoil your fun? (;) [09:47] no. [09:48] while we're at it, apparently there's already some folks panicing of the Ubuntu Qt inclusion [10:10] come on, we knew the Qt thing was coming for ages... [10:10] jussi: already had one in -ot trying to get some fud-panic up [10:11] Tm_T: fudmeisters and panic feeders are always about... [10:13] I already see some "leave our gnome alone!" type of reactions coming [10:13] work -> [10:15] already? i thought those started while he was still typing up the blog post. [10:15] heck, im pretty sure it started before he even had a name for unity [10:28] The secret to keeping a classic environment is to invest in a low-feature graphics card :) === apachelogger is now known as releaselogger [11:55] * [BlockcolD] (~ginnypig@unaffiliated/blockcold): Unknown how is it that he has so many cloaks (spicemaster/athiest_monk /etc) [12:01] staff should know [12:02] becuase there's too much staff turnover [12:02] in a hundred years time when GMS finally gets finished, it'll be easier to stop that stuff [12:03] more rhetorical then anything; this is the 2nd time he's had double cloaks (the previous two having been removed due to similar hijinks) [12:13] elky: assuming the heat death of the universe doesn't happen first. Global warming, and all [12:14] indian (and surrounding areas) internets just sucks for moderating [12:15] Have you been to India lately? [12:16] jpds, no, i just deal with the first world impact. [12:17] i have a vague idea at how... unstructured things can be [14:05] * Tm_T huggles Myrtti [14:05] !pm ~= /askedfor/asked for/ [14:05] Nothing changed there [14:06] !pm [14:06] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [14:06] right. [14:07] nevermind ;-) [15:56] Jungli was yet again requesting a cloak [15:57] fantastic. [16:04] jungli is in india? [16:07] I suppose so [16:08] popey: We've moved onto Cuckcoo's Egg style operations. [18:05] uh [18:05] -offtopic is +q $~a ? [18:06] hmm. [18:08] Pici: that +q [18:08] does... what with $~a ? [18:09] h00k: quiets unregistered users. [18:09] 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. [18:10] h00k: and you don't need to be opped to check it ;) [18:13] Gotcha. [18:14] Pici: yeah, I did /modes on accident. Opped me, said there's no mode to set, and deopped me. [18:14] Ah [18:14] oh, $~a unregistered, makes sense. [18:14] One day, I'll figure out how to make chanserv set the topic, too. [18:14] //msg chanserv help topic [18:14] oops [18:17] yes, was just doing this [18:17] Pici: okie doke [19:03] DJones called the ops in #ubuntu (dr-v) [19:03] dr-v called the ops in #ubuntu (i need help masturbating) [19:07] !stats-#ubuntu-offtopic =~ s#$# http://status.nullcortex.com/other/other/irccountall/_ubuntu_offtopic.html# [19:07] I'll remember that rww [19:07] oops [19:08] !stats-#ubuntu-offtopic =~ s#http://status#or http://status# [19:08] I'll remember that rww [19:08] !stats-#ubuntu-offtopic [19:08] Some fun statistics for this channel can be found on http://ircstats.tonyyarusso.com/ubuntu-offtopic.html or http://rww.name/pisg/ or http://status.nullcortex.com/other/other/irccountall/_ubuntu_offtopic.html [19:08] was about to PM rufas but he's gone already === releaselogger is now known as apachelogger [20:01] why has my access from #ubuntu-irc-helpers been removed ? [20:02] #ubuntu-uds is still open also [20:12] ikonia: -irc-helpers has been closed [20:14] ooh, excellent, I'll remove it from my auto join, thank you [20:18] Oh wb Nikon [20:18] Ikonia even [20:18] Stupid phone [20:19] nikon is better [20:19] I'm only popping in, off shortly [20:19] * Tm_T huggles ikonia [20:19] why thank you [20:45] !stats-#ubuntu-offtopic =~ s#http://status/#http://status.nullcortex.com/irc/offtopic/# [20:45] Nothing changed there [20:45] !stats-#ubuntu-offtopic =~ s#http://status.*$/#http://status.nullcortex.com/irc/offtopic/# [20:47] !stats-#ubuntu-offtopic [20:47] Some fun statistics for this channel can be found on http://ircstats.tonyyarusso.com/ubuntu-offtopic.html or http://rww.name/pisg/ or http://status.nullcortex.com/irc/offtopic/ [20:47] better.

[21:11] kibot is the person you just kicked out of #ubuntu. There's another user called Not on the same host in there. [21:12] he can speak to kibot then, [21:12] I suspect that they're the same person. Was just letting you know ;P [21:12] it's a home PC [21:15] * kibot_boos_ikoni [21:15] new nick ^ [21:15] host is +q [21:15] who cares [21:15] he can change his nick all he wants [22:31] * popey tickles ikonia [22:34] hello [22:43] Pici: Your IRC client is fail :/ [22:45] Amaranth: eh? [22:45] Pici: irccount triggers a highlight for ircc? [22:46] Does picifoo do it too? :) [22:46] Amaranth: Probably because I'm too lazy to reconfigure the irssi hilight for it. [22:46] No. [22:46] Anyway, it needed to be a shorter url anyway. === mnepton is now known as mneptok
