| bazhang | <dontknow> i think ubuntu is not suitable for matrix hacking. it wouldn't be cool to hack matrix with adware | 02:08 |

| bazhang | is he from the future? | 02:16 |
| zykotick9 | bazhang: you are a great OP in #ubuntu, but why suggest pastebin.com when paste.ubuntu.com exists? that is all. | 02:43 |
| chu | bazhang: :) | 03:23 |
| Unit193 | Because one paste service is better than the other? Or easier to remember. | 03:27 |
| elky | because pastes in paste.ubuntu.com live forever, pastebin.com gets purged, and users put stupid things in pastebins | 03:52 |
| elky | i'd actually be suggesting something that doesn't get indexed, like privatepaste.com | 03:53 |
| chu | So, the recent email regarding #ubuntu-discuss, if #ubuntu-offtopic *isn't* the place for it, should we set something in the topic for #ubuntu-offtopic (such as: "Want to discuss Ubuntu ideas? Consider #ubuntu-discuss!" or something) as a way of advertising it and promoting it? | 04:03 |
| Tm_T | chu: yes | 04:04 |
| chu | I must admit, I don't entirely *know* what #ubuntu-discuss is for (beyond literally just the channel name, but that seems quite general and applicable in #ubuntu-offtopic), so I don't really know what sort of advertisement/promotion would be appropriate. | 04:04 |
| Tm_T | ...and many other actions to make it really part of our channel landscape | 04:05 |
| Tm_T | chu: the idea has been that the channel is for anything that is ubuntu discussion but doesn't fall under user support | 04:08 |
| Tm_T | chu: for example not-yet-released products | 04:09 |
| chu | Is it strictly Ubuntu, or Canonical aswell? | 04:09 |
| Tm_T | both | 04:09 |
| elky | chu, to me, it's main appeal is that all the tiny niche areas which have their own deserted channels can redirect to there and have more audience to discuss with | 04:10 |
| elky | its* | 04:10 |
| Tm_T | we don't want to have canonical saying "we have this new hot product coming at some point, if any questions go to #ubuntu!" ... | 04:10 |
| elky | sadly, #ubuntu-marketing is still not redirected there :( | 04:11 |
| Tm_T | elky: good point | 04:11 |
| elky | and people come in and ask the crickets things and go away sad and ignored | 04:11 |
| elky | Tm_T, yeaaah, and not sending those people into an -ot regular's blathering is ideal. | 04:12 |
| Tm_T | -ot is totally wrong place too | 04:12 |
| elky | yeah | 04:12 |
| elky | on so many levels | 04:12 |
| Tm_T | I still don't like this "yet another channel" syndrome, but now it looks as the only sane solution | 04:12 |
| elky | well, i only put my support behind it if it was going to be used to consolidate "other channels" | 04:14 |
| elky | i don't think that's happened yet, which doesn't impress me at all | 04:14 |
| chu | I will try and promote it more - there has been some people coming into #ubuntu-offtopic in recent times (being the past few months) who have had questions which are probably more related to #ubuntu-discuss, and I will do my best to direct them there from now on. | 04:16 |
| Tm_T | I'd say we haven't even put an effort to use -discuss yet | 04:16 |
| Tm_T | neither has canonical, yet (; | 04:17 |
| elky | well, all it needs is a mail to the marketing list saying "Due to its nature, low traffic and non-existant management, we are going to redirect #channel to #ubuntu-discuss in $timeframe. Speak now or forever hold your peace." | 04:22 |
| elky | and then a week later making it so | 04:22 |
| elky | or whtever $timeframe is | 04:22 |
| elky | nobody's done that yet | 04:23 |
| elky | and s/marketing/relevant/ | 04:23 |
| chu | Is that saying that #ubuntu-[relevant] will be retired in favour of #ubuntu-discuss? | 04:25 |
| Tm_T | allright, I suppose it's time to move this corpse toward the office | 04:32 |
| ubottu | ered called the ops in #ubuntu-offtopic () | 04:40 |
| elky | chu, essentially, but defines what "retire" means | 04:48 |
| chu | Ahh, I guess "closed" after $timeframe? There's probably a better way of saying it, but hopefully that gets the point. Sorry, I'm very slow at the moment | 04:50 |
| elky | go to sleep you silly man | 04:50 |
| chu | I can't now though, 4 hours ok *maybe*, but now it's too late and I need to wrap around | 04:51 |
| elky | well, you just need to last another 2hrs actually, then sleeping 6 to 6 would be "sensible" | 04:52 |
| elky | depending how long you think you'd last for | 04:53 |
| elky | (sleeping) | 04:53 |
| chu | It'll be a while I imagine | 04:54 |
| ubottu | In #ubuntu, HiggsPossum said: !? #e3b is for you ! CLICK ON CHANNEL #e3b !!! RIGHT NOW :D ! Won't be disappointed our girls all wear glasses and have the latest version of UBUNTU installed! so there you go => #e3b ! | 07:04 |

| ubottu | In #ubuntu, loke said: ubottu: Well, now the solution is logged then. I'd love to know why that happened though. :-) | 16:14 |
| bazhang | troll detected | 16:24 |
| gnomefreak | loke == troll? | 16:25 |
| bazhang | lukecarrier in #ubuntu | 16:27 |
| gnomefreak | ah | 16:28 |
| bazhang | may as well just allow /amsg across all Ubuntu channels at this point | 17:22 |
| IdleOne | ? | 17:23 |
| bazhang | simplew / O_comprido constantly crossposting +1 issues in #ubuntu | 17:24 |
| bazhang | after repeated warnings | 17:24 |
| IdleOne | let me try explaining it to them one more time in +1 | 17:24 |
| bazhang | he did not even wait FIVE seconds before crossposting | 17:26 |
| IdleOne | wether he waited 5 seconds or 5 hours makes no difference really. +1 is not supported in #ubuntu. | 17:27 |
| mneptok | that user was first told that a long time ago. i think they are x-posting to try to get ActionParsnip's help. | 17:29 |
| bazhang | and the story changes each time | 17:29 |
| bazhang | mneptok, yep. he asked actionparsnip for help in #ubuntu then asked him to /join +1 | 17:30 |
| mneptok | see? i pay attention. | 17:30 |
| bazhang | heh | 17:31 |
| bazhang | I NEVER doubted that | 17:31 |
| mneptok | well, i wasn't sure if you did. because i so infrequently pay attention. | 17:31 |
| bazhang | you are just more ninja about it all | 17:31 |
| bazhang | haha | 17:31 |
| mneptok | O:) | 17:32 |
| IdleOne | bazhang: he has been warned. feel free to deal with them as you see fit in #ubuntu :) | 17:34 |
| IdleOne | So now he is just going to lie and say he is running quantal :/ | 17:34 |
| bazhang | IdleOne, yep. thanks | 17:36 |
