macoi just got another pm from them. where by "just" i mean 6 minutes ago when my client started connecting and so therefore claimed i was no longer /away, though ive only just actually gotten the ability to see backscroll and type now01:05
Picithem? you mean hoober?01:05
macolesbooter ?= hoober?01:06
macowhy do i use 2 ?s? i fail.01:06
Piciyes.01:06
Picihoober, goober, orangecard, OzoneScaredyMan, LesBooter, peronni, circlecrossdev, tartarfoofas, MorganMuffler, cromblight, IKnowWhoIAm, cromblight_, FeetAndCloth, vimber, DrummerBoy38, OzoneScaredyPant, foober, OzoneScaredyMan_01:07
macowow01:07
macoholy ban evasions batman!01:07
PiciThats only over the past two weeks or so too.01:07
LesBooterI have been banned from the #ubuntu channel01:11
LesBooterAre your operators pretending to know the boy? Is this a first impression?01:13
macoCould you please start making sense?01:13
LesBootermaco, you are a Ubuntu Hall of Famer01:13
LesBooteris that sense?01:13
macoFor example, explain what on Earth you are talking about01:13
LesBooterOn this earth is Ubuntu. Ubuntu you are a part of. You are a Ubuntu Hall of Famer01:14
macoI meant regarding some boy you keep going on about in my PM buffer and in here, a topic which as far as I know was never introduced01:14
maco(If he is not currently located on Earth, that is fine too.)01:15
LesBooterThe only explanation that would make sense is if I never entered #ubuntu-women today01:15
macoIf I scroll back, I see that you posted a link and were made to leave.  What has this to do with me?01:16
LesBooterYou are a boy in space. Down here on earth the events unfolded differently. I parted and felt no pressure to leave when I did.01:16
LesBooterAre you not going to handle the ban in #ubuntu-women?01:17
macoOh, so you did.01:17
macoJust as an op gaind +o to remove you01:17
macoGood timing!01:17
LesBooterDepends. You seem to ban my ips01:17
LesBooterOr will you admit I have 1 IP01:18
macoIf you already have one ban, re-entering the channel is cause for an immediate ban.01:18
macoNo other misbehaviour is required.01:18
LesBooterthe laws of ubuntu women are, ban if user is banned anywhere else?01:18
PiciLesBooter: You've been here before, you're familair with our rules, I'm not going to let you waste the time of another one of our ops.01:19
macoNo, though if a person is deemed a threat, a pre-emptive ban is permitted in that channel.01:19
LesBooterthen you aren't capable of seeing the deeming of a person as a threat as a means for a ban01:19
LesBooterotherwise you would of just agreed01:19
macoIn all Freenode channels, rejoining a channel after being banned from it (with a new IP or nick) is known as ban-evading and cause for another ban.01:19
LesBooterwhy did you ban me?01:20
macoIt can also be regarded as cause for a k-line01:20
LesBooteryou are incorrect.01:20
LesBooterNicknames and Username and Descriptions are all falsifiable and changable more than once01:20
macoThere are only like 4 bans in the banlist that are from me, and none of them match this person01:21
macoI must be getting slow01:22
PiciKB1JWQ: Just a heads up for #freenode, this is the same 'Roobet' fellow that was going on about this yesterday.01:26
PiciI really don't know whats going on with these overflows from here ending up in #freenode, but we're certainly not telling/asking/encouraging them to go there.01:28
PiciBut its only been this guy and Jungli/spicemaster recently... just feels like more than that.01:28
elkymaco, lesbooter is the person who was being all creepy and naming you as an object of affection in -ot01:38
macowith pics of you01:38
elkyYes.01:39
* tonyyarusso must not be cute enough to have a creepy stalker :P01:49
ubusercan anyone help me get flash running i have tried everything, im running an old version of ubuntu, but i got all my repos02:15
tonyyarussoubuser: This is #ubuntu-ops, for discussion of channel management issues, not a support channel.02:17
ubuseri got banned from ubuntu room02:35
ubuserpretty ghay02:35
ubuserwhat are ops again02:36
ubottuxangua called the ops in #ubuntu (dsdjf)03:56
rwwgpc: not to hand, but if he appears in #ubuntu, #ubuntu-offtopic, here, #ubuntu-women, or #ubuntu-devel, he's ban-evading. I do have BT IDs for all of those, if you want them.05:26
rwwgpc: ps, BT comments support newlines ;)05:30
rwwgpc: duh, I lied. pisg has a list: OzoneScaredyMan Callico10 MorganMuffler brown_boar TurmptTarp TuskRattle bearblack_ Shoasdf silvercrab circlecrossdev DrummerBoy38 foober cromblight LesBooter Roobet prosper00505:31
mneptokrww: + tartarfoofas05:35
* rww nods, is merging in Pici's list now05:36
tonyyarussoHe managed to get banned from -devel?  That takes effort.05:37
rwwgot a comment from sabdfl, even. he's truly exceptional.05:38
bazhang<EnrgySmth> can you confirm that 10.10 still uses gnome and gdm?05:38
bazhangnot for long!05:39
gpc31 nicks total is what i got for him05:41
gpcdoes that match you guys?05:41
gpcmake that 3205:41
bazhangsounds right05:41
rwwI don't see some of these nicks Pici has in my logs at all, either because 1) my logs are spotty before the turn of the year, 2) Pici's in more channels than me.05:41
bazhangI stopped counting at double digits05:41
rwwwhat's fubuntu?05:42
gpcnever heard of it05:43
rwwfluxbox + ubuntu, maybe *shrugs*05:44
bazhanga fedora remix05:44
gpcwonder if an @merge ban# would be a usefull feature05:44
bazhangfrom the lovely webupd805:45
gpcwhere it would merge comments from all ban#'s into one05:45
rwwI wish stalker.pl had a command for manually merging records05:46
gpcubottu: tell omarmt22 about guidelines06:03

elkybacon?06:27
rwwcandybar of meats06:27
rwwin that it's disgusting /and/ bad for you!06:28
elkyomnomnom06:28
rwwit's also the formaldehyde of meats, because it smells bad.06:28

Flannel!bacon-#ubuntu-offtopic06:29
ubottuI've always considered bacon to be the candybar of meats... http://xkcd.com/418/06:29
rwwelky: commiserations on your successful bid to lose even more of your sanity, btw.06:29
elkyrww, you forget i've been on the ircc before? there's nothing left for me to lose.06:30
rwwyes, hence the "even more". I figure you can always delve into the realm of negative sanity.06:31
elkyI'm pretty sure I'm the only one to bid for it really truly knowing what i've volunteered for.06:31
rwwI suspect Pici had an inkling.06:31
FlannelI think it's a logarithmic sort of thing.06:32
elkyan inkling is not sufficient06:32

KB1JWQJust gave switch a ten minute tempquiet; recurring issue in many channels.08:46
Tm_TKB1JWQ: I had a talk with him yesterday, I'm sure he will continue to be a bit of an issue08:49
KB1JWQYeah, I figured I'd let a named op handle it after than ten minute quiet elapses.08:49
Tm_The hasn't crossed the line well enough for plain ban I think08:50
Jordan_UI would disagree. What I see in the scrollback from #ubuntu seems to be pretty clear trolling.08:51
Tm_TKB1JWQ: anyway, thanks for the help (:08:51
Tm_TJordan_U: today? haven't checked todays behaviour08:51
Tm_TKB1JWQ: leave the quiet, I will remove it a bit laterm thanks (:08:53
Jordan_UTm_T: /lastlog switch for me in #ubuntu: http://pastebin.com/6xmhxajT08:54
KB1JWQTm_T: Unfortunately it's an automated thing.08:55
Tm_TKB1JWQ: ah, it's ok either way, I'm following his doings now08:58
Tm_TJordan_U: as I have already talked to him, and got no useful results, I rather see him doing one more push after warnings and quiet09:06
ubottuIn #ubuntu, fisch246 said: ubottu, this is now my favorite bot after that last statement..09:09
Jordan_UTm_T: Switch has begun again in #ubuntu09:59
Tm_Tyup, gave him last warning09:59
Tm_Tand there I was, hoping the remove would keep him out for some time10:10
Tm_The is informed in PM too10:13
ubottuIn #ubuntu, erUSUL said: !xy is <reply> You're trying to do X, and you thought of solution Y. So you're asking about solution Y, without even mentioning X. The problem is, there might be a better solution, but we can't know that unless you describe what X is.11:17
jpdsGraphy.11:19
jussimeh, I prefer12:30
jussi!details12:30
ubottuPlease give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."12:30
knomejussi, did you say VB was a good australian beer?12:32
jussiknome: I like it, yes12:33
knomejussi, you are wrong. :P this is almost as watery as the rest :P12:34
jussiknome: whatever you like :)12:34
knomejussi, i would even say i'd prefer fosters, if i could choose one of these served cold.12:34
knomejussi, warm, maybe this.12:34
knomewell, not cooled enough, that is12:34
jussifosters is horrible - and you probably lie it because its made here...12:35
knome:)12:36
knomefosters is much like lapin kulta in terms of drinkability... it goes if it's cool. if it's warm, it's really bad.12:37
gordsomeone from a different channel seems to have a bot logging in #ubuntu - Warrio is the bots name, not sure what our rules on that is12:55
jussigord: more details please?12:56
gordjussi, its a bot, its logging. thats about all i know. http://soldat.gr:5656/ its generating12:57
gordhonestly i just don't like the idea of unapproved bots in our channels, they can go wrong which can lead to lots of uncontrolled problems12:58
jribbots that don't interfere with the channel (no messaging/noticing) are ok because we can't really enforce anything else12:58
jussijrib: thats not actually the case for logbots12:58
jribjussi: how so?12:58
jussijrib: see the bottom of: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots12:59
jribi'm basically a log bot in the channel12:59
jussijrib: but you arent publishing said logs12:59
jussijrib: also, wrt you ban/exception yesterday, did you remember to put a note in the BT?13:00
jribjussi: kunwon?13:00
jussiyes13:01
jribI don't think I did, let me do that now13:01
jribBack to the bots though, I think it's a waste of time to try to enforce this rule, because you can only "catch" the honest people13:02
jriband having the bots log doesn't hurt anyone13:03
jussijrib: those who publish the realtime logs, if legit are more than welcome to, we just want to know about it. there are some privacy implications, as well as its against freenode policy to log without permission13:04
popeysurely against freenode policy to "log and publish" not just "log"13:04
jriboh, I wasn't aware that was freenode policy13:04
knomei suppose it would be impossible to ban logging, since many clients do that by default13:05
jussiknome: yes, you are correct13:06
jussianyway, Im off.13:06
knomehave a nice day13:06
jribwe should have the logs somewhere in #ubuntu according to freenode guidelines13:09
jribalso, I dislike the goo.gl links :/13:09
topyliiirc it's explained in a message when you join the channel13:10
jribtopyli: you are right13:10
topyliclick-through eula :)13:11
jribI'm surprised no one owns ubunt.us13:14
jribubnt.us is taken though13:15
jribhmm, .us is cheap13:16
cdbsPlease remove the 'New X stack' stuff from #ubuntu+1 topic, and add : "New X.org stack uploaded, known issues: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-February/032378.html"15:58
cdbsthanks15:58
