[01:05] <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
[01:06]  * rww attempts and fails to warn h00k about the piano falling from window above :(
[01:07] <h00k> Oh, look, rww is dancing. What is this impending, growing shadow?
[02:27] <rww> and the award for most confusing message of the day goes to xyz in #ubuntu.
[02:29] <IdleOne> that was disturbing
[02:44] <rww> 29.34 hours until full moon.
[02:47] <Pici> The Moon is Waning Gibbous (98% of Full)
[02:51] <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.
[02:59] <h00k> lee__ is interesting, I can't decide if it's a troll or not.
[03:00] <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
[03:01] <h00k> yes
[03:49] <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
[03:50] <elky> January has never been relevant to the Moon Theory.
[03:53] <tonyyarusso> yeah, pom has a way more complex algorithm tha mine.
[03:54] <rww> 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] <rww> is it +r? please say it's +r
[04:36] <tonyyarusso> No, but close.
[04:36] <tonyyarusso> Block webchat.
[04:37] <tonyyarusso> although that would work too
[04:38] <rww> we lose aubade either way :(
[04:38]  * rww scrolls through log to see if anyone else he likes uses webchat
[04:39] <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)
[04:43] <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.
[04:45] <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
[04:47] <tonyyarusso> You know though, most of those redirected people are the problem anyway :S
[04:48] <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?
[04:49] <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
[04:53] <elky> You might want to email the -irc list too
[04:55] <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
[04:59]  * 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
[05:00] <tonyyarusso> yes, hence the message
[05:00] <tonyyarusso> well, s/did/will/
[05:04] <rww> does facebook have a bcc: option, or is it completely useless :(?
[05:05] <tonyyarusso> useless
[05:08] <elky> facebook is useless? say it isn't so.
[05:08] <IdleOne> Say it ain't so Joe please, say it ain't soooooooooooooo
[05:09] <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."
[05:10] <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
[05:11] <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
[05:12] <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
[05:13] <gpc> I checked to see if the nick was registered, it wasn't.
[05:13] <gpc> now it's mine
[05:14] <elky> heh
[05:15] <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
[05:17] <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.
[05:18] <rww> make sure to put gqc and other random silliness on highlight. people can't read :(
[05:19] <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 :<
[05:20] <rww> I think gpc's volunteering to be a troll lightning rod.
[05:20] <gpc> I don't think they really need volunteers
[05:21] <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.
[05:22] <elky> Heh
[05:23] <gpc> Just watched a documentary on Rush (the band) they truly are the best band ever.
[05:29] <topyli> Yes they are
[06:01] <mneptok> no need to ask what he's got in that briefcase.
[06:38] <rww> !bcm43xx =~ s/  / /
[09:42] <elky> * gnome is now known as LDXE
[09:42] <elky> hahaha
[09:42] <elky> ze wishes.
[09:42] <Tm_T> LXDE?
[09:43] <Tm_T> (as in, is the typo in the nick intentional)
[09:46]  * elky shrugs
[09:46] <Tm_T> did I spoil your fun? (;)
[09:47] <elky> no.
[09:48] <Tm_T> while we're at it, apparently there's already some folks panicing of the Ubuntu Qt inclusion
[10:10] <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
[10:11] <jussi> Tm_T: fudmeisters and panic feeders are always about...
[10:13] <Tm_T> I already see some "leave our gnome alone!" type of reactions coming
[10:13] <Tm_T> work ->
[10:15] <elky> already? i thought those started while he was still typing up the blog post.
[10:15] <elky> heck, im pretty sure it started before he even had a name for unity
[10:28] <persia> The secret to keeping a classic environment is to invest in a low-feature graphics card :)
[11:55] <bazhang> * [BlockcolD] (~ginnypig@unaffiliated/blockcold): Unknown  how is it that he has so many cloaks (spicemaster/athiest_monk /etc)
[12:01] <Tm_T> staff should know
[12:02] <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
[12:03] <bazhang> 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] <Hobbsee> elky: assuming the heat death of the universe doesn't happen first. Global warming, and all
[12:14] <elky> indian (and surrounding areas) internets just sucks for moderating
[12:15] <jpds> Have you been to India lately?
[12:16] <elky> jpds, no, i just deal with the first world impact.
[12:17] <elky> i have a vague idea at how... unstructured things can be
[14:05]  * Tm_T huggles Myrtti
[14:05] <Myrtti> !pm ~= /askedfor/asked for/
[14:06] <Myrtti> !pm
[14:06] <Myrtti> right.
[14:07] <Myrtti> nevermind ;-)
[15:56] <Tm_T> Jungli was yet again requesting a cloak
[15:57] <h00k> fantastic.
[16:04] <popey> jungli is in india?
[16:07] <Tm_T> I suppose so
[16:08] <jpds> popey: We've moved onto Cuckcoo's Egg style operations.
[18:05] <Pici> uh
[18:05] <Pici> -offtopic is +q $~a ?
[18:06] <h00k> hmm.
[18:08] <h00k> Pici: that +q
[18:08] <h00k> does... what with $~a ?
[18:09] <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.
[18:10] <Pici> h00k: and you don't need to be opped to check it ;)
[18:13] <h00k> Gotcha.
[18:14] <h00k> Pici: yeah, I did /modes on accident. Opped me, said there's no mode to set, and deopped me.
[18:14] <Pici> Ah
[18:14] <h00k> oh, $~a unregistered, makes sense.
[18:14] <h00k> One day, I'll figure out how to make chanserv set the topic, too.
[18:14] <Pici>  //msg chanserv help topic
[18:14] <Pici> oops
[18:17] <h00k> yes, was just doing this
[18:17] <tonyyarusso> Pici: okie doke

[20:01] <ikonia> why has my access from  #ubuntu-irc-helpers been removed ?
[20:02] <ikonia> #ubuntu-uds is still open also
[20:12] <tsimpson> ikonia: -irc-helpers has been closed
[20:14] <ikonia> ooh, excellent, I'll remove it from my auto join, thank you

[20:48] <h00k> ahha/
[21:10] <rww> ikonia: "Not" in #ubuntu is on the same host as kibot, fyi
[21:11] <ikonia> rww: who ?
[21:11] <rww> kibot is the person you just kicked out of #ubuntu. There's another user called Not on the same host in there.
[21:12] <ikonia> he can speak to kibot then,
[21:12] <rww> I suspect that they're the same person. Was just letting you know ;P
[21:12] <ikonia> it's a home PC
[21:15] <bazhang> * kibot_boos_ikoni
[21:15] <bazhang> new nick ^

[22:43] <Amaranth> Pici: Your IRC client is fail :/
[22:45] <Pici> Amaranth: eh?
[22:45] <Amaranth> Pici: irccount triggers a highlight for ircc?
[22:46] <Amaranth> Does picifoo do it too? :)
[22:46] <Pici> Amaranth: Probably because I'm too lazy to reconfigure the irssi hilight for it.
[22:46] <Pici> No.
[22:46] <Pici> Anyway, it needed to be a shorter url anyway.
