[00:01] k1l called the ops in #ubuntu () [02:08] i think ubuntu is not suitable for matrix hacking. it wouldn't be cool to hack matrix with adware [02:16] 18mil terabytpe [02:16] 18 million terabyte drive? [02:16] is he from the future? [02:43] bazhang: you are a great OP in #ubuntu, but why suggest pastebin.com when paste.ubuntu.com exists? that is all. [03:23] bazhang: :) [03:27] Because one paste service is better than the other? Or easier to remember. [03:52] because pastes in paste.ubuntu.com live forever, pastebin.com gets purged, and users put stupid things in pastebins [03:53] i'd actually be suggesting something that doesn't get indexed, like privatepaste.com [04:03] 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? [04:04] chu: yes [04:04] 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. [04:05] ...and many other actions to make it really part of our channel landscape [04:08] chu: the idea has been that the channel is for anything that is ubuntu discussion but doesn't fall under user support [04:09] chu: for example not-yet-released products [04:09] Is it strictly Ubuntu, or Canonical aswell? [04:09] both [04:10] 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] its* [04:10] we don't want to have canonical saying "we have this new hot product coming at some point, if any questions go to #ubuntu!" ... [04:11] sadly, #ubuntu-marketing is still not redirected there :( [04:11] elky: good point [04:11] and people come in and ask the crickets things and go away sad and ignored [04:12] Tm_T, yeaaah, and not sending those people into an -ot regular's blathering is ideal. [04:12] -ot is totally wrong place too [04:12] yeah [04:12] on so many levels [04:12] I still don't like this "yet another channel" syndrome, but now it looks as the only sane solution [04:14] well, i only put my support behind it if it was going to be used to consolidate "other channels" [04:14] i don't think that's happened yet, which doesn't impress me at all [04:16] 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] I'd say we haven't even put an effort to use -discuss yet [04:17] neither has canonical, yet (; [04:22] 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] and then a week later making it so [04:22] or whtever $timeframe is [04:23] nobody's done that yet [04:23] and s/marketing/relevant/ [04:25] Is that saying that #ubuntu-[relevant] will be retired in favour of #ubuntu-discuss? [04:32] allright, I suppose it's time to move this corpse toward the office [04:40] ered called the ops in #ubuntu-offtopic () [04:48] chu, essentially, but defines what "retire" means [04:50] 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] go to sleep you silly man [04:51] I can't now though, 4 hours ok *maybe*, but now it's too late and I need to wrap around [04:52] well, you just need to last another 2hrs actually, then sleeping 6 to 6 would be "sensible" [04:53] depending how long you think you'd last for [04:53] (sleeping) [04:54] It'll be a while I imagine [07:04] 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] uh oh [07:25] Jordan_U: I'm not slow! [07:25] * Tm_T hides [07:25] :) [07:26] =s [07:26] crassus is blowing my PM [07:27] blowing up* === Guest54651 is now known as Mamarok [16:14] In #ubuntu, loke said: ubottu: Well, now the solution is logged then. I'd love to know why that happened though. :-) [16:24] troll detected [16:25] loke == troll? [16:27] lukecarrier in #ubuntu [16:28] ah [17:22] may as well just allow /amsg across all Ubuntu channels at this point [17:23] ? [17:24] simplew / O_comprido constantly crossposting +1 issues in #ubuntu [17:24] after repeated warnings [17:24] let me try explaining it to them one more time in +1 [17:26] he did not even wait FIVE seconds before crossposting [17:27] wether he waited 5 seconds or 5 hours makes no difference really. +1 is not supported in #ubuntu. [17:29] 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] and the story changes each time [17:30] mneptok, yep. he asked actionparsnip for help in #ubuntu then asked him to /join +1 [17:30] see? i pay attention. [17:31] heh [17:31] I NEVER doubted that [17:31] well, i wasn't sure if you did. because i so infrequently pay attention. [17:31] you are just more ninja about it all [17:31] haha [17:32] O:) [17:34] bazhang: he has been warned. feel free to deal with them as you see fit in #ubuntu :) [17:34] So now he is just going to lie and say he is running quantal :/ [17:36] IdleOne, yep. thanks
