[00:10] <Pici> !prayer
[00:10] <ubottu> Dear $DEITY, Give me strength to understand and work with users who question my logic, the rules, netiquette and common sense. Give me resilience to teach them the basics of Linux, Ubuntu, Community Guidelines and IRC. Allow me not to stray to nitpicking, argument, foul language or leisure op abuse. Deliver me my daily xkcd, User Friendly, LWN, /. and Planet Ubuntu, and guard over my encrypted drives. Let it be so.
[00:11] <LjL> Pici: yes, indeed
[00:16] <Myrtti> skype ♥ 
[00:19] <LjL> now the fun is #freenode's
[00:19] <Pici> yay
[00:22] <LjL> bash.org?
[00:22] <Myrtti> been down for months
[00:22] <LjL> oh
[00:23] <LjL> well it doesn't matter, this is not really bash.org's thing
[00:39] <Myrtti> should I know someone called Giuseppe Scrivano ?
[00:40] <LjL> Myrtti: he's apparently a developer of something named MyServer
[00:41] <Myrtti> so it seems...
[00:41] <Myrtti> he's asking me to befriend him in Facebook...
[00:41] <LjL> never befriend an italian
[00:41] <LjL> or someone with an italian name anyway
[00:41] <Myrtti> too late for that
[00:42] <Myrtti> anyway
[00:43] <Myrtti> I had my skype call with webcam and it's really late already
[00:43] <Myrtti> so I'll head to bed
[00:44] <LjL> Myrtti: rocky_10_balboa!*@gnu/giuseppe is him here
[00:45] <Myrtti> right
[00:45] <Pici> nice name
[00:45] <Myrtti> I declined his request though
[00:45] <Myrtti> I've never heard of him, so I won't befriend him either
[00:46] <Myrtti> off to bed to dream of a cute linux geek -->
[00:47] <Pici> goodnight ;)
[00:47] <LjL> hey, maybe you just declined a cute linux geek
[00:48] <Pici> He was the Italian Stallion...
[00:48] <LjL> anyway i'm even more convinced i'll never join facebook
[00:52] <LjL> jrib: do extremely fancy misspellings apply for your hitlist?
[00:53] <jrib> LjL: sure!
[00:53] <LjL> jrib: then look six lines or so from the last in #ubuntu
[00:53] <Pici> valateer?
[00:53] <LjL> right
[00:54] <jrib> LjL: better than "duel boot"
[00:55] <Pici> jrib: Do you mind sharing a copy of the list?
[00:55] <LjL> he has, it's on the pastebin
[00:55] <LjL> but you have to earn the right to read it
[00:55] <LjL> by browsing through every pastebin post until you find it
[00:55] <LjL> though when you have, you'll feel enough nausea that you won't want to look at it
[00:57] <Pici> Sounds like a great rainy day activity.
[00:57] <elky_work> jrib: but 'duel boot' is in some cases correct ;)
[00:58] <jrib> Pici: http://pastebin.com/f78cec26
[00:58] <LjL> elky_work: have a bare-metal machine with two virtual machine monitors running on it
[00:58] <Pici> jrib: I will cherish this always
[00:58] <LjL> elky_work: have the virtual machine monitors expose a vulnerability that lets one get out of the memory protection jail
[00:59] <LjL> elky_work: have two OS's boot in each of the virtual machines, the first that crashes the other wins
[00:59] <elky_work> hehe
[00:59] <LjL> although, i didn't invent this
[01:05] <elky_work> jrib: are they all from the same person?
[01:06] <jrib> elky_work: lol
[01:06] <Pici> That would be impressive.
[01:06] <elky_work> because, you know, i'd believe it if you said yes.
[01:07] <LjL> oh jesus, the stuff that guy posted in -ot should earn him a scolding, but it's fun
[01:08] <elky_work> considering i reguarly hear "I am a doctor, I think i know how the internet works" reguarly when i explain that no, google going down when you forget to pay your isp is not actually our fault, despite yes we do send you electronic pathology and radiology results.
[01:09] <Pici> jussi01: I think ubottu needs a bit of an apt refresh or something.
[01:26] <Seeker`> I heard someone talk about googling for something on youtube the other day
[01:27] <Seeker`> and googling for something on amazon
[02:21]  * Hobbsee wishes we'd declare an outright ban on politics discussions, and send everyone to ##politics today.
[02:25] <nalioth> i'd not wish ##politics on anyone
[02:30] <ubottu> FloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit)
[02:30] <ubottu> FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit)
[02:30] <ubottu> FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit)
[02:30] <Pici> hm
[03:00] <Hobbsee> i'm told about <JesseL627> www.surestocks.info - Anyone think this site is legit? Their first pick did shoot up 9% today, I'll be following it myself. in #ubuntu a couple of times
[03:00] <Pici> Hobbsee: Following that stock or that user?
[03:01] <Hobbsee> Pici: sorry, the < to the . is the user comment.
[03:01] <Hobbsee> the in to the times is my addition
[03:01]  * Hobbsee should have used quotes
[03:01] <Pici> :)
[03:03]  * Hobbsee gets worried about the cluefulness of these #ubuntu users, sometimes.
[03:04] <Pricey> Are they gone now?
[03:04] <Hobbsee> One just appologised to the floodbot.
[03:04] <Hobbsee> yeah, seem to be.  One of the guys warned him in +1 not to try that again, and he left
[03:04] <nalioth> good manners should be welcomed  :)
[03:04] <Pricey> Its pure spam right?
[03:05] <Hobbsee> indeed.  but it's like apologising to your wall.
[03:05] <Hobbsee> Pricey: that would be my interpretation of it, yes.
[03:06] <Pricey> Im on phone and hard for me to do much sorry but hopefully nalioth has seen.
[03:24] <elky_work> Hobbsee: nalioth: i find #wikipedia is sane enough and welcomes politics discussion
[03:36] <nalioth> yeah, #wikipedia is their screw off / catch all channel
[03:36] <nalioth> #wikipedia-XX is where you're supposed to go for help
[03:46] <Flannel> Who are we keeping an eye on?
[03:54] <mneptok> i'd like the steamed eggs and wikipedia - http://ourfounder.typepad.com/leblog/WindowsLiveWriter/Menu.jpg
[05:09] <elky_work> mneptok: i think i'll just have the stir-fried wikipedia, thanks.
[07:06] <Flannel> ubottu: tell g06|in about nickspam
[08:24] <jussi01> stdin: can you sort this? Im just running out: [03:09:37] <Pici> jussi01: I think ubottu needs a bit of an apt refresh or something.
[08:24] <stdin> jussi01: about the !find thing?
[08:25] <jussi01> stdin: doesnt it need equivalent to apt-get update?
[08:25] <stdin> jussi01: that gets run by cron every day
[08:26] <jussi01> ahh, ok
[08:27] <stdin> and the !find thing is just insane, I have no clue why it breaks
[08:27] <stdin> or why it breaks for ubottu but not nubotu, even when they use the same aptdir and same code :|
[08:56] <Tm_T> ehaheha
[08:56] <Tm_T> FYI: ~5 hours and I'm married <3<3
[08:58] <Nafallo> scary
[08:59] <Tm_T> indeed
[10:39]  * jussi01 hugs wgrant
[10:42] <stdin> jussi01: do you read the kubuntu-users mailing list?
[10:43] <jussi01> stdin: on occaision... I get it...
[10:44] <stdin> you know, it used to be good :s
[10:44] <stdin> now just seems to be full of people winging (not bringing up legitimate complaints, but winging)
[10:45] <stdin> erm, s/winding/wingeings/
[10:46]  * stdin wonders if the ubuntu list is the same
[10:48] <Myrtti> hello my lovelies
[10:56] <stdin> could someone set a forward on #kubuntu+1 to #ubuntu+1 ? please :)
=== ikonia_ is now known as ikonia
[11:23] <bazhang> \0/
[11:25] <Myrtti> I loves you all ♥ 
[11:26]  * bazhang has the day off Sunday!
[11:36]  * jussi01 sighs at how long it takes to format 500gb...
[11:40]  * Myrtti huggles jussi01 
[12:25] <Myrtti> ho-hum "load average: 8.33, 8.38, 5.91"
[12:25] <LjL> Myrtti: that sounds like my bots' server
[12:26] <Myrtti> it's ma laptop, with nothing but apt-get dist-upgrade and terminator running...
[12:26] <elky> apt is a hog
[12:27] <Pici> hogs don't go moo.
[12:27] <Myrtti> It also makes my computer unusable for five minutes
[12:27] <elky> it's a hog with a personality disorder.
[12:28] <LjL> Myrtti: /me hints at that little percentage figure that shows up when you do "df"
[12:28] <Myrtti> and which one would that be?
[12:29] <LjL> Myrtti: the one that's small enough to cause a hard drive to trash. if it's not, then the lack of a PASSED sentence in "smartctl -H"
[12:29] <LjL> thrash, even
[12:30] <Myrtti> SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
[12:30] <Myrtti> 10% / says he
[12:30] <Myrtti> any other bright ideas?
[12:32] <Myrtti> no? that's what I expected
[12:33] <Pici> I don't get any bright ideas until after I've had my caffeine 
[12:42] <LjL> Myrtti: 10% means fragmentation is possible *shrug*
[12:43] <LjL> Myrtti: do *you* have a bright idea on how to avoid having a root canal and yet restore a healthy tooth?
[12:45] <Pici> tuxice: Howdy, how can we help you today?
[12:45] <tuxice> is there an ubuntu artowork team chanel
[12:45] <tuxice> ?
[12:45] <tuxice> **artwork
[12:45] <jussi01> yes
[12:45] <LjL> #ubuntu-artwork
[12:45] <Pici> tuxice: #ubuntu-artwork
[12:45] <LjL> which is still registered to jdub FTR
[12:45] <Pici> !irc
[12:45] <tuxice> thank you
[12:45] <ubottu> A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines
[12:45] <tuxice> ok
[13:20] <jrib> pabix's question sounds like homework
[13:22] <jussi01> Pici: lancelot is an alternate menu for kde4
[13:22] <jussi01> Pici: I wrote a blog post not so long ago about it: jussi01.com
[13:23] <Pici> jussi01: Ah
[13:24] <jussi01> :)
[13:43] <pleia2> nalioth: you about? we need the modes changed on the #ubuntu-training channel
[13:44] <Myrtti> hmmm...
[13:47] <pleia2> nalioth: for now they just need it set +t (changing +s setting will be discussed at their upcoming meeting)
=== thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak
[14:18] <LjL> my apologies in advance
[14:18] <LjL> FUCK TEETH AND THEIR ROOT CANALS
[14:18] <bazhang> oh that stinks
[14:18] <LjL> and anesthesia that doesn't work
[14:18] <bazhang> sorry to hear it LjL 
[14:25] <jdong> LjL: yeah, it really sucks
[14:25] <jdong> LjL: it's been 3 months since mine and I still feel "fantom teeth"
[14:25] <jdong> like a really weird tingling/numbing pain that runs down my upper jaw bone into my cheeks
[14:26] <LjL> jdong: thanks, that's reassuring :<
[14:27] <LjL> not to mention the cost of a crown without an insurance
[14:27] <jdong> ouch that probably hurts more :(
[14:28] <LjL> besides, the idea of having a crowned tooth when i'm 26...
[14:28] <LjL> bah
[14:30] <Seeker`> LjL: how did the tooth get that bad?
[14:54] <jrib> !test
[14:54] <ubottu> sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed.
[15:18] <LjL> Seeker`: it apparently already had a filling, it started aching, i went to the dentist, he said it had quite a hole
[15:29] <Seeker`> ah, thats bad
[16:05] <jussi01> root canals suck... I had one when I was 17...
[16:52] <Pici> I fail
[16:53] <LjL> Pici: i'll make a redirect
[16:53] <LjL> oh, there already is a redirect...
[16:53] <LjL> and yet the channel is not registered
[16:53] <LjL> mysteries of staff, i guess
[16:53] <Pici> So.. I was right?
[16:53] <LjL> Pici: no, the right channel is #ubuntu-mythtv
[16:53] <Pici> Darn.
[16:54] <LjL> Pici: but if you try joining #mythbuntu, you are indeed forwarded there
[16:54] <LjL> Pici: but if you /cs info #mythbuntu...
[16:54] <LjL> [17:53:55] <eregi> Ljl can you just pls give me lines to add to the terminal, don't have time to read. please..
[16:55] <LjL> can i give him the rf? can i? uh?
[16:55] <bazhang> heh
[16:58] <LjL> Pici: the mythtv people should be thankful you weren't right anyway
[16:59] <LjL> Pici: because if you had been, i'd have dropped their channel and made a new one to make you not right anyway
[17:04] <LjL> eh christ enough is enough
[17:04] <bazhang> bad day to ask for car advice :)
[17:05] <LjL> never troll when an op has had a root canal, i say
[17:05] <bazhang> that should be a factoid
[17:25] <Pici> LjL: I feel your pain, I was going in circles with amanulla for the past two days.
[17:26] <LjL> Pici: hardcore's alter ego?
[17:26] <Pici> LjL: It very well could be.
[17:28] <Seeker`> nalioth: Please can you update mootbots logs
[17:29] <Seeker`> nalioth: I'm beginning to get people complaining about it
[18:27] <nalioth> Seeker`: every time they do, you can curse Dreamhost
[18:56] <johndarkhorse> has anyone heard of any powerpc troubles lately?
[18:57] <johndarkhorse> i can't seem to keep my machine going more than a few minutes if i'm working on it since i updated
[18:58] <johndarkhorse> seems load spikes are tickling something in the kernel and spontaneously killing  the box
[18:59] <LjL> johndarkhorse: is "working on it" something that could cause overheating?
[19:04] <johndarkhorse> LjL: i've been doing the same thing for years
[19:04] <johndarkhorse> this happened a couple of years ago with the powerpc machines + Ubuntu
[19:04] <johndarkhorse> back then, it needed more load before it'd CLICK off
[19:05] <johndarkhorse> this time, it's not taking much at all
[19:05] <LjL> johndarkhorse: still sounds like overheating to me, you know, cpu fans get dusty and slow down
[19:08] <johndarkhorse> no, the fans spin up just fine (and slow down)
[19:09] <johndarkhorse> i'm not sure if this is a "too many higher load threads" or what - it's different than last time
[19:09] <johndarkhorse> i'm on the live cd now, btw
[19:10] <johndarkhorse> gonna recreate my normal workspace here
[19:10] <johndarkhorse> and we'll just see
[19:13] <LjL> johndarkhorse: just one thing since i guess you aren't reading -irc, you cloaked luis, was he really actually a member?
[19:14] <johndarkhorse> LjL: he's a Kubuntu member
[19:15] <LjL> johndarkhorse: i saw he's in Kubuntu *Users*, but didn't notice any Kubuntu Members belonging...
[19:19] <johndarkhorse> fixed
[19:24] <LjL> `Chris:  what's the problem?
[19:24] <`Chris> Hey there is an issue regarding ubottu, when I typed "/msg ubottu equivalents" one of the links is reported by firefox as an attack site
[19:24] <`Chris> http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html
[19:24] <`Chris> That link
[19:24] <LjL> hello maniheer
[19:24] <LjL> anything we can do for you?
[19:24] <maniheer> hi LjL
[19:24] <maniheer> nutin much
[19:25] <LjL> `Chris: uhm, let me fire up firefox then
[19:25] <`Chris> Ok ;-)
[19:25] <LjL> maniheer, we like to keep this channel for purpose-specific use only
[19:26] <maniheer> so I cant watch
[19:26] <maniheer> np
[19:26] <LjL> `Chris: my firefox doesn't say anything, what version is yours? is it actually firefox reporting it, or do you have some proxy that does that perhaps? (not too familiar with firefox, kde user here)
[19:27] <`Chris> I'll C+P
[19:27] <`Chris> Reported Attack Site!
[19:27] <`Chris>       
[19:27] <`Chris>       
[19:27] <`Chris>

[19:27] <`Chris> This web site at www.linuxrsp.ru has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.
[19:27] <`Chris>

[19:27] <`Chris>           
[19:27] <`Chris>           
[19:27] <`Chris> Attack sites try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.
[19:27] <LjL> eek.
[19:27] <`Chris> Some attack sites intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.
[19:27] <`Chris> Damn are there massive spaces in that?
[19:28] <LjL> yes there were ;)
[19:28] <`Chris> Ok I am not sure if I spammed a tonne of blank lines?
[19:28] <`Chris> Ah right
[19:28] <`Chris> Well basically
[19:28] <`Chris> This is the summary
[19:28] <`Chris> http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?client=Firefox&hl=en-GB&site=http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html
[19:28] <`Chris> Specifically "Of the 6 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 2 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 10/01/2008, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 09/30/2008."
[19:30] <LjL> `Chris: well, you know what
[19:30] <LjL> i doubt that page actually contains malware
[19:30] <LjL> but anyway, it licences the text under the GNU FDL
[19:30] <LjL> so we can just copy the text to the wiki
[19:30] <LjL> and link to the wiki instead
[19:30] <`Chris> So you can host is elsewhere?
[19:30] <`Chris> Ah right
[19:30] <LjL> thanks for reporting it
[19:30] <`Chris> Ok no problem just testing out ubottu
[19:31] <`Chris> Ah well my bit is done I dunno how ubottu works so I'll leave the rest up to you guys
[19:31] <`Chris> Goodbye ;-)
[19:31] <LjL> bye!
[19:31] <LjL> a good time to make that page better, for that matter
[19:32] <LjL> as in, more ubuntu-centric
[19:32] <johndarkhorse> `Chris: lots of russian sites are erroneously labeled as "attack sites"
[19:32] <johndarkhorse> just about any user input site can get that label
[19:36] <ompaul> that looks like an interesting conversation :0
[19:36]  * ompaul sits back in the lang
[19:36] <ompaul> lag
[19:36] <johndarkhorse> LjL: i am thinking it's kernel trouble.  trick is: how do i proceed?
[19:37] <PriceChild> is there an old kernel in the grub menu to try?
[19:39] <johndarkhorse> PriceChild: the problem is _powerpc_
[19:39] <johndarkhorse> no grub
[19:39] <johndarkhorse> no list of old kernels to choose from
[19:46] <Nafallo> johndarkhorse: hardy?
[19:49] <johndarkhorse> Nafallo: yes
[19:50] <Nafallo> johndarkhorse: I think you want to check the memory used.
[19:50] <Nafallo> see if there is a certain point where if dies
[19:51] <johndarkhorse> where would i check that?
[19:52] <Nafallo> ehrm. I dunno? free? :-)
[19:53] <johndarkhorse> kinda hard to run any commands on a dead box
[19:53] <johndarkhorse> it totally turns off ( instantly ) upon reaching a certain load
[19:53] <johndarkhorse> i've not been able to find anything in /var/log/, either
[19:54] <Pici> Are you sure its not a heat issue?
[19:54] <johndarkhorse> i will have apt-get build gimp for me and we'll see
[19:55] <Nafallo> ah. not the same problem then. we had OOM after about 50%
[19:58] <johndarkhorse> Nafallo: are you on powerpc?
[19:59] <Nafallo> not to a huge extent, but they exist.
[19:59] <johndarkhorse> is your memory issue on a powerpc machine?
[19:59] <Nafallo> yes
[19:59] <Nafallo> otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it...
[20:03] <johndarkhorse> this is not the first time kernel ooopsies have shown up
[20:05] <ubottu> In ubottu, DSpair said: !ifup is A special wrapper script which references the /etc/network/interfaces config file and calls the appropriate system commands to configure an interface.

[20:07] <ompaul> Pici, ^^ some eth0 stuff would be cool 
[20:07] <Nafallo> the last one was weird :-)
[20:08] <Nafallo> cause really... my fiberlinks doesn't run on wifi ;-)
[20:08] <ompaul> Nafallo, my 100meg interwebz link is not working on anything other than wire
[20:09] <Nafallo> ompaul: draft-n :-)
[20:09] <ompaul> well cool :0
[20:10] <ompaul> it is nice to have disk i/o bound installs 
[20:10] <Nafallo> ehrm. slow disks? :-)
[20:10] <ompaul> raided scsi
[20:10] <Nafallo> my laptop peaked at 520Mbps when I grabbed DVD ISOs :-)
[20:10] <ompaul> nice
[20:11] <ompaul> Nafallo, ibm build for working not for speed :-/
[20:11] <Nafallo> I'm not sure I agree with that one :-)
[20:11] <ompaul> I had a choice I could have working, or I could have speed, I could not afford both
[20:11] <ompaul> Nafallo, it can serve fast 
[20:12] <ompaul> Nafallo, but if you ask it to install 100meg debs it takes a bit of work
[20:12] <Nafallo> sure sure
[20:23] <Myrtti> puss och kram allihopa
[20:26] <Nafallo> Myrtti: *puss*
[20:26] <Myrtti> teehee
[20:28] <LjL> wait
[20:28] <Myrtti> vad?
[20:28] <LjL> pussa means kiss, and kissa means piss?
[20:28] <Nafallo> yes
[20:29] <LjL> oh the irony.
[20:29] <Nafallo> even if some says pissa as well
[20:29] <Myrtti> kissa in finnish is a cat
[20:30] <LjL> and the difference between pussa and kyssa?
[20:30] <Nafallo> kyssa is more seriously meant.
[20:30] <Nafallo> pussa is what children tends to do a lot.
[20:30] <LjL> hah, i know you two didn't kiss seriously.
[20:30] <Nafallo> kyssa what teenagers tend to do ;-)
[20:31] <Myrtti> smooching vs kissing
[20:31] <Nafallo> well, teenagers and upwards :-)
[20:31] <LjL> thank you, but i had no clue what smooching meant either before now
[20:36] <jdong> is today completely OT day in -ops?
[20:37] <jdong> I think I've stumbled across at least three distinctly OT conversations the 3 times I checked here today :D
[20:37] <LjL> jdong: have you ever seen a kangaroo?
[20:37] <jdong> LjL: only on TV :)
[20:37] <LjL> jdong: they have a lot of OT conversations on TV
[20:37] <Myrtti> I just love you all, is there something wrong with that?
[20:38] <Pici> Only in mneptok's case.
[20:38] <PriceChild> Myrtti: jdong doesn't believe in love
[20:53]  * mneptok slithers out from behind the toilet
[20:54] <LjL> tritium: those two trolls managed to make me half believe they were right
[20:54] <LjL> bastards
[20:55] <Gary_> arghh it's a mneptok
[20:55] <LjL> coming from the toilet, at that
[20:56] <mneptok> i prefer cool, dark places. like behind the toilet or inside ompaul's psyche.
[20:56] <LjL> pfff
[20:56] <mneptok> i get that a lot.
[21:00]  * johndarkhorse toddles off to experiment
[21:01] <ompaul> mneptok, you no see your pm?
[21:01] <ompaul> or did your brain explode?
[21:07] <tritium> LjL: sorry :(
[21:08] <tritium> I stepped away to let the pest exterminators in the house.
[21:10] <nalioth> weirdly enough, these problems started when i made a 60mb file available for download ( so i've removed it and will see how weird it is )
[21:25] <LjL> tritium: yeah but i have to leave. gpart and testdisk are his friends, i'm pretty sure
[21:26] <tritium> OK.  See yu.
[21:26] <LjL> not gparted mind, gpart
[21:30] <tritium> I hadn't seen gpart before.  That's a nice tool.
[21:30] <LjL> i've made him backup his *current* mbr (if any) to ~/mbr_backup, so if my solution screws things up even more, someone tell him to restore that
[21:30] <LjL> testdisk is nice too, if a bit user-unfriendly
[21:30] <tritium> Thanks, LjL.
[22:08] <tuxice> whats the channel for ubuntu intrepid development?
[22:09] <nalioth> tuxice: #ubuntu+1 ?

[23:45] <Seeker`> :P
[23:46] <ompaul> Seeker`, for more years than I care to remember
[23:46] <jdong> Seeker`: please don't start another planet meme from that statement
[23:46] <jdong> Seeker`: the last one put up enough burning images of nipples and hair that I now have all images blocked on planet
[23:49] <Seeker`> jdong: what?!
[23:49] <Seeker`> what commente prompted that?
[23:50] <jdong> Seeker`: 18:45 <+Seeker`> ompaul is a guy?!
[23:50] <Seeker`> jdong: "the last one..."
[23:50] <Seeker`> what was the last comment
[23:50] <jdong> (1) Take a picture (2) Include enough proof of your gender (3) dont' edit or censor the picture (4) post on planet.
[23:50] <jdong> or something like that.
[23:50] <jdong> I forgot what the exact meme was
[23:50] <jdong> but the end result was something along those lines ;-)
[23:51] <Seeker`> eww
[23:51] <Seeker`> planet.ubuntu.com?
[23:51] <jdong> Seeker`: yeah
[23:51] <jdong> Seeker`: one of the steps should've involved "put a shirt on" or something like that.

[23:52] <jdong> nor am I
[23:52] <ompaul> are you on planet.earth.this-solar-system?
