[09:07] cfhowlett called the ops in #ubuntu (Toadstool2,) [09:09] Asked them to stop the line of discussion [09:10] * AlanBell wonders if cfhowlett should apply for ops [09:12] I think he should, he's quite aware of channel guidelines & is around quite often, maybe a bit enthusiastic with factoids, but certainly has a good attitude [09:12] * AlanBell thought cfhowlett was a she for some reason [09:12] Could be, I'm not certain [09:12] Is it worth me sending a pm? [09:13] And asking if they'd consider it [09:13] to encourage them to ask for ops, yes [09:13] ok, will do [09:13] enquiring about gender, not so much ;) [09:13] Yeah, that would be irrelevant [09:14] I think I know an unrelated howlett who is a she, just mixed up in my head [09:15] anyhow, people who correctly use the !ops trigger in general are likely to people people we should empower to sort things out themselves [09:19] They are interested, going to look at the email and the links [09:20] Hi cfhowlett [09:20] DJones, hey! just checking in while my other eyeball is reading the links [09:20] Yeah, quite a bit of links to read [09:21] My initial thought is that since I only run LTS ubuntustudio, I could best help out in US or perhaps xubuntu [09:22] DJones, the "catalyst" page is actually quite helpful. [09:23] Its what you'd feel comfortable with, I use a default Ubuntu install, but only as a user, I don't have a great technical knowledge, but give support where I can & just be aware of potential issues [09:24] That is very handy, thats something you do well [09:26] DJones, outstanding. Let me read up. Thank you for the invitation. It is most appreciated. === mrmist is now known as mist [09:26] You're welcome [09:27] * Unit193 waves to cfhowlett. [09:27] * cfhowlett raises a tasty beverage in the direction of Unit193 [09:52] cfhowlett: Your slip is showing. === TheMaster is now known as Guest62851 [23:47] hi phunyguy [23:47] yes? [23:47] phunyguy, please fix my ban [23:47] i already join, why? [23:47] it's not long enough? [23:48] totem: because the ban is on your cloak and you've been joining before your cloak kicks in [23:48] !doublejoin [23:48] Your IRC client is completing NickServ authentication after joining channels, which triggers a fake quit and rejoin to apply your cloak and increases channel noise. Please see https://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nocloakonjoin and use SASL or another method to prevent this. [23:48] remove the channel from your auto join [23:48] totem: you do realize also, that #ubuntu-offtopic is not a support channel, right? [23:49] okay i understood [23:49] btw, i don't do drama [23:49] thanks [23:49] oh man, sorry for my smart-ass response, i thought i was in a different ops chan [23:49] well I was going to remove it.... [23:50] jbroome, mistakes happen, don't worry about it :) [23:50] the ban has been in place for over a month [23:50] shoot, over a year [23:50] 2013 [23:50] on the other hand, totem hasn't improved since 2013 [23:51] s/13/10/ [23:51] the user or the program? [23:51] both [23:51] yes [23:52] :P [23:52] ahh well. I will leave it in place.
