[02:54]  * Hobbsee eats the spam.  thanks, Mez!
[03:08] <jdong> eew that stuff is all saturated fat, it'll go to your waist and coronary arteries... ;-)
[03:14] <tonyyarusso> BUT, you should eat it anyway, because it's made in my state, and thus helps the local economy.
[03:14] <tonyyarusso> Also, we have a museum.
[03:52] <macogw> hey so there's this guy i used to date, and he came to #linuxchix (different server) yesterday and today and got himself "asked to leave" because of his attitude, abrasiveness, and sexism, and he came into #ubuntu-offtopic and #ubuntu as htmljunkie about 20 minutes ago asking everyone to flood #linuxchix and basically torment them because he thinks they're man-hating feminists. its more like they just hate his attitude.  he just switched to osx5 (st
[03:53] <jdong> breathe between your sentences macogw 
[03:53] <jdong> they're gettin cut off :)
[03:53] <Hobbsee> macogw:  osx5 (st
[03:54] <macogw> Hobbsee: huh?
[03:55] <jdong> macogw: your post was clipped at that point
[03:55] <jdong> we are waiting suspensefully for the conclusion
[03:55] <Hobbsee> i wish irssi had more sensible defaults, and so didn't cut off text.
[03:55] <Hobbsee> konvi will just split the line, and keep sending on the next message
[03:55] <macogw> oh
[03:55] <macogw>  he just switched to osx5 (still in #ubuntu-offtopic) after i told the channel what was really going on, but now he's PMing me 
[03:56] <macogw>                 non-stop and um just watch out for htmljunkie, osx5, or darkfate (the nick he used on #linuxchix to hide that he was the jerk from yesterday)
[03:56] <macogw> i'm using irssi too...
[03:56] <Hobbsee> macogw: i can tell.  sucky clients :)
[03:57] <jdong> Hobbsee: pfft....
[03:57] <jdong> :D

[04:15] <macogw> hi elkbuntu 
[04:15] <macogw> did you see last night's "excitement" in #linuxchix?
[04:15] <elkbuntu> macogw, no?
[04:17] <macogw> elkbuntu: my ex came really close to getting himself kb'd for trolling...and now he's ranting to freenode channels to go attack the man-hating linuxchix
[04:17] <macogw> see above
[04:17] <macogw> you can see him in your #linuxchix backlog as darkfate
[04:20] <elkbuntu> macogw, my linuxchix backlog must be incomplete, i dont see anything bad from him in that channel...
[04:22] <macogw> oh you werent in there last night
[04:22] <elkbuntu> i see him arguing about asprin, but that's all
[04:24] <macogw> ok there was a mess with him PMing Aishiko and lisa as part of it....called saz and Aishiko a manhater last night
[04:24] <macogw> one of the others may have their client still open from then
[04:26] <macogw> wait is htmljunkie in your backlog?
[04:27] <macogw> he came as darkfate after they were gonna kick him as htmljunkie

[13:39] <DJones> Hi, Can I suggest a factiod addition for ubotu for Avant Window Navigator?

[13:40] <Hobbsee> !awn
[13:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about awn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[13:41] <ubotu> I'll remember that, Hobbsee
[13:41] <Pici> hm,.. I thought I added that one.
[13:41] <DJones> I did a search on ubotu's web interface, couldn't see anything referencing awn or avant
[13:43] <DJones> Thanks for that
[13:47] <jdong> no, !awn is way too long (tm)
[15:11] <HardDisk> good afternoon, I request an ubuntu cloak please.
[15:12] <LjL> hello
[15:12] <LjL> are you an ubuntu member?
[15:12] <HardDisk> hi LjL, well I'm still not entirely sure what that means exactly.
[15:12] <LjL> !member
[15:12] <ubotu> Want to become an Ubuntu member? Look at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember
[15:12] <HardDisk> I am part of the ubuntu-eg team.
[15:13] <HardDisk> alrighty.
[15:13] <LjL> HardDisk: if you don't know what it means, then you're not one ;)
[15:13] <HardDisk> fair enough :)
[15:13] <HardDisk> I'll check the site out and see if I qualify.
[15:13] <HardDisk> good day.
[15:22] <Pici> Lots of that lately.
[15:24] <vorian> Pici: about membership?
[15:24] <Pici> vorian: Yeah.
[15:24] <jpatrick> vorian: interesting mail you sent me
[15:24] <vorian> jpatrick: yes, i know
[15:25] <vorian> jpatrick: i am a tard
[15:25] <vorian> I hope you deleted it
[15:25] <jpatrick> vorian: +5000 from me
[15:25] <vorian> thanks :)

[16:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici, Hi, my niece may be stopping in shortly to get her laptop setup to play DVD's I plan on checking in every now and then, but I need to go lay down for a bit.  I would appreciate it if you could keep an eye out for her.  Thanks
[16:26] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: In which channel?
[16:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Ubuntu
[16:27] <Pici> As?
[16:28] <Jack_Sparrow> No idea....
[16:28] <Pici> Well, I'll try to helpful then.
[16:28] <Jack_Sparrow> She is a ditz.. 
[16:28] <Pici> uh oh.
[16:28] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks...
[16:29] <Jack_Sparrow> I emailed her info on setting up medibuntu.. as she seems to have already nmessed that all up...
[16:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Appreciate it.. back in a few..
[16:29] <Pici> Sure

[16:47] <tonyyarusso> May I suggest a proactive campaign to urge legitimate users to register properly with nickserv if they haven't already prior to the 24th?
[16:50] <Pici> tonyyarusso: How do you suggest we do that?
[16:50] <Pici> besides changing the topic?
[16:51] <tonyyarusso> Pici: perhaps a topic, or perhaps a once-a-day /notice.  Or just putting it in our quit messages, if any of us ever quit...  :P
[16:52] <LjL> don't like notice
[16:52] <tonyyarusso> 'k
[16:52] <tonyyarusso> just thinking out loud really
[16:53] <LjL> you'd figure the daily +rR's due to attacks would convince those who're ready to be convinced, besides :)
[16:53] <tonyyarusso> You'd _think_, yes!
[16:53] <LjL> well, if those don't, i doubt a notice will do much better
[16:53] <tonyyarusso> true
[16:53] <LjL> those at least *show* you the hassles of not being registered
[16:54] <tonyyarusso> Also, any other brainstorming for any ways to make release day smoother that we haven't thought of already should probably start being tossed around shortly here.
[16:54] <Pici> Perhaps a list of factoids to modify
[16:54] <LjL> i'm starting to be for an #ubuntu-install for the first couple of days, for install and upgrade questions
[17:05] <ubotu> In #kubuntu, Nirkus said: ubotu: thanks. there is no usb stick image then, i guess?
[17:06] <Pici> handled.
[17:06] <tonyyarusso> hmm, that's not a bad idea LjL 
[17:10] <Mez> tonyyarusso, why prior to the 24th ?
[17:11] <Mez> oh... release day :D hehe
[17:11] <PriceChild> Mez: will attract nasties
[17:11] <Mez> arent we going to do -release-party again ?
[17:12] <LjL> think so
[17:12] <LjL> but that won't stop #ubuntu from becoming unusable for a few day, as usual
[17:13] <Mez> just set it +r and get Floodbot or similar to /msg users that arent ?
[17:13] <LjL> hmmm
[17:13] <Mez> or force unregistered to join a new channel during the release? (or even just -unregged
[17:14] <LjL> not sure that'd be good
[17:14] <tonyyarusso> That's a bit heavy-handed, and unfortunately, I think it would confuse too many people.
[17:15] <tonyyarusso> I'd _like_ it to work, but know too much about users.  :P
[17:15] <tonyyarusso> -release-party should still happen though, yes.
[17:56] <LjL> !eeepc is <reply> Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC
[17:56] <ubotu> I'll remember that, LjL
[18:00] <Seeker`> all this planning would be easy if it wasn't for those pesky users
[18:01] <PriceChild> Seeker`: I think that makes the solution obvious then.
[18:02] <PriceChild> Seeker`: we go to the route of the problem and eliminate it there rather than working around
[18:02] <Seeker`> +b *!*@*?
[18:05] <LjL> someone's saying in #ubuntu that http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download defaults to the 64 bit version for them, any idea...? (doesn't for me)
[18:06] <Seeker`> Defaults to x86 for me
[18:06] <PriceChild> fine for me... tell them to make sure they've clicked the right one, or try a different mirror
[18:07] <LjL> but the *checkbox* in the download page seems to default to 64bit for him
[18:07] <Pici> What checkbox?
[18:08] <PriceChild> LjL: well then he can check the other one?
[18:08] <LjL> the ones on that page?
[18:08] <Pici> I only see one for the alternate disc
[18:08] <LjL> PriceChild: yes but he's just asking why on earth the site would default to 64 bit. and i agree: why on earth would it?
[18:08] <LjL> Pici, under "What type of computer do you have?"
[18:08] <PriceChild> file a bug? what browser?
[18:09] <Pici> LjL: Those are radio buttons/selectors.
[18:09] <LjL> meh
[18:09] <LjL> whatever
[18:09] <Pici> I'm guessing its some sort of residual form completion bug in his browser.
[18:48] <sarah____> hello
[18:49] <Pici> sarah____: Hello, how can we help you today?
[18:53] <sarah____> hi  Pici
[18:53] <sarah____> can you test me for the bug?

[18:54] <LjL> and has to be unbanned manually because i banned sarah_*

[22:17] <ompaul> hiya
[22:17] <DBO> heya ompaul =)
[22:17] <DBO> i was about to do my weekly whining about nvidia packages being bad =)
[22:18] <ompaul> DBO, don't bother it is a well known fact
[22:20] <DBO> yeah, i know
[22:20] <DBO> but bothering Amaranth is something of a pass-time for me
[22:20] <DBO> plus there are now people who seem to have solved it, so I am going to try a solution, brb
[22:30] <nalioth> it's not a DBO
[22:30]  * nalioth notes that that DBO was unidentified
[22:31] <Seeker`> nalioth: That doesn't mean that it wasn't a DBO
[22:31] <ompaul> well there were clues
[22:31] <ompaul> but it was not an authed dbo this is true
[22:54] <ubotu> MrObvious called the ops in #ubuntu ()
[23:15] <nalioth> WHEEEE! HAI DBO
[23:15] <nalioth> howzitgoin!?
