[05:32] <duanedesign> hello. A user came to #ubuntu-beginners and was trying to rejoin his channels and is getting msg he is baned from #ubuntu channel. Who should he contact about this?
[05:33] <IdleOne> he should join here
[05:36] <duanedesign> thanks IdleOne
[05:37] <veebull> hello folks
[05:38] <IdleOne> hello veebull
[05:38] <veebull> A gent by name of 'duanedesign' suggested I pop in here
[05:38] <veebull> I reinstalled (x)ubuntu this afternoon, and was busily re-joining various ubuntu-related forums this evening on xchat
[05:39] <veebull> but got a notice that I was 'banned' from #ubuntu
[05:39] <veebull> I'm trying to find out why/what for...
[05:39] <IdleOne> let me see if I can find out
[05:41] <IdleOne> ah, right. We have had some issues with a particular user from a similar host as yours.
[05:42] <IdleOne> Just give me a few minutes to figure out what is what
[05:46] <IdleOne> veebull: the op who set the ban is not active at the moment. They should be on in about 6 hours if you could come back then and speak with them, they should be able to get you sorted
[05:49] <veebull> 'kay... I am kind of interested in what I supposedly 'did', though.  Is that logged/recorded for posterity anywhere?
[05:49] <IdleOne> I'm not sure it is anything you did. I think you just got caught in a large net.
[05:50] <IdleOne> But I prefer letting the op who set the ban sort it.
[05:52] <veebull> fair enough
[05:52] <IdleOne> Thanks for understanding.
[05:53] <IdleOne> I left them a message to take a look at it when they come back online. If you would be nice enough to part this channel and return in about 6 hours that would be great
[14:00] <genii> It always amazes me that there's people out there that want to attack freenode.
[14:05] <k1l_> sometimes i am not sure if its caused by attacks or some staff pressing randomly buttons :)
[14:07] <genii> Like Ren and Stimpy. "Don't press the BIG SHINY RED TEMPTING BUTTON!" etc
[14:11] <k1l_> hehe
[14:26]  * Myrtti pees on the button in protest
[14:56] <Pici> anyone else want ops in #ubuntu while we wait for services?
[14:56] <Pici> (also just in case I manage to deop myself accidentally)
[14:59] <Myrtti> Pici: sure
[15:27] <genii> Heh. "ChanServ, this is a check to ensure that you're human and not a spambot: Type the number 6 in letters, not in digits"
[15:28] <20WACQ4ZX> O.o
[15:28] <20WACQ4ZX> what happened here
[15:29] <20WACQ4ZX> i go out for an hour and i find the house all wet with hard rain, and Konversation dead
[15:49] <bazhang> I thought Konversation died years ago
[15:50] <Guest46086> bazhang: The conversation did die years ago.
[15:50] <Guest46086> Oh wait.
[15:50] <bazhang> bwhahaha
[15:53] <LjL> just because y'all have somehow started using Quassel because of reasons that include that someone else had started using it for no discernible reason
[15:53] <LjL> doesn't make Konversation dead
[15:54] <bazhang> yeah, I was kidding
[15:55]  * genii stabbity-stabs Konversation but it keeps crawling away
[15:55] <bazhang> xchat is deader than Konv
[15:56] <LjL> what's even left that's not dead then
[15:58] <genii> I guess Empathy and Chatzilla
[15:59] <genii> Well, and of course irssi
[16:00] <Jordan_U> irssi, like polka, can never die.
[16:06] <LjL> genii: are those even IRC clients
[16:07] <genii> LjL: Nominally.
[16:16] <bazhang> in nominos patrii
[16:16] <bazhang> out Satan out!
[16:17] <LjL> well only someone conquered by Satan would mangle Latin like that!
[16:19] <bazhang> I'm caught out :|
[16:19]  * genii contemplates what to have for lunch
[17:11]  * genii curses his cheap crappy router for deciding to power itself off for no good reason
[17:21] <Pici> at least you don't need to constantly power it off and on to use it
[17:22] <bazhang> hehe
[17:22] <Pici> My parent's router does that... and it uses WEP.  I keep begging them to replace it.
[17:22] <bazhang> ouchie!
[17:22] <bazhang> it's like $30 for a nice new one
[17:23] <LjL> oh goodie, i can cancel that Verizon plan i planned for when i go to NJ
[18:32] <Pici> !toastbin
[18:38] <genii> This same one, when I set it up had the dsl line disconnected until I had all the routing tables and port forwarding set up... kept trying to sync with the dsl and chewing up it's cpu so that the config pages timed out. I'd get something different if I had a choice but it's what work gave me to use and I just have to live with it.
[18:48] <ikonia> I suggest someone get ops somehow in #ubuntu and required channels
[18:49] <k1l> Pici: and Myrtti have ops. they just need to spread the power :)
[18:49] <IdleOne> me too please
[18:49] <ikonia> ahhh pick has it
[18:49] <ikonia> pici even
[18:49] <Pici> the pick indeed does have it
[18:50] <ikonia> sorry, fat fingers
[18:50] <Pici> its okay iconia
[18:50] <IdleOne> hasha
[18:50] <IdleOne> err fat fingers here too
[18:50] <Myrtti> aw, man
[18:50] <Myrtti> I was just eating vanilla-apple turnovers
[18:50] <IdleOne> yummy
[18:51] <LjL> picpicpic i pickyou!
[18:51] <k1l> everybody stop! Myrtti is eating yummy stuff!
[18:51] <k1l> ;p
[18:55] <genii> I cannot ever recall eating anything that had apples and vanilla together in it.
[18:55] <Pici> it sounds very food
[18:55] <IdleOne> sweet vanialla frosting with sour apples :)~~~
[18:55] <IdleOne> vanilla too
[18:58]  * genii makes a note to try this sometime soon
[18:58] <bazhang> s/freenode/humptydumpty/
[19:03] <Pici> its not freenode's fault that someone keeps shoving it off that wall
[19:03] <bazhang> hehe
[19:13] <Myrtti> gn
[19:13] <IdleOne> gn
[19:14] <bazhang> bye
[19:30] <tomaw> I assume you guys are doing okay for ops where you need it?
[19:39] <IdleOne> seem to be good for now
[19:41] <tomaw> cool
