I banned eternalis1 for very abusive pm after asking him to not use wtf in channel === gnomefre4k is now known as gnomefreak [01:28] i think #ubuntu+1 should forward to #ubuntu-release-party [01:30] if its gonna stay open sure or they will be forwarded 2 times [01:30] going to #ubuntu === gnomefre2k is now known as gnomefreak [01:35] well of course when -release-party is closed the forward would be changed back to #ubuntu [01:35] but people now are complaining (as they do on each release) about +1 not existing anymore [01:36] and you can't blame them, being throwing into the mess that #ubuntu currently is like this [01:37] those people can certainly take 2 weeks off [01:48] hm. [01:48] anyone got IRC client info for "orochi?" [01:48] i'm interested as to who he is [01:49] /version him [01:49] 1). not connected [01:50] 2). want realname and other client strings, not version [01:50] * mneptok is demanding [01:51] whatever happened to anonymity ;) [01:52] it goes buhbye when you claim special status as a customer. [01:52] if you want to make such claims, tell me who you are. or fuggoff. [01:53] >:) [01:53] Heh. [01:53] ah. I'm a customer. Just not a paying one ;-p [01:53] if he's offline, no info will be available [01:53] yeah, been gone too long for /whowas [01:55] mneptok: I'm sure Gerry can tell you. [02:00] wgrant: i'm sure he can't [02:02] Ah. [02:02] Damn. === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [02:21] Fishscene called the ops in #ubuntu-release-party (jeevan_ullas) [02:34] why is that channel still open? [02:35] dang, the 24th isn't even over [02:35] hey guys,. ive been talking to the ubuntu forums beginners team and realised that its not very well known about on irc -- i was wondering if we could get a factoid like !beginners -- If your new to ubuntu theres a team of dedicated helpers to ensure that your transition is as smooth as possible ##beginners-help -- what do you think? [02:35] it is for the majority of the world [02:35] because we have release parties going on all over the world still in few next days [02:36] Tm_T: that channel is hardly a coordination point [02:36] * nickrud thinks mneptok it becoming a crotchety old man before his time [02:36] nickrud: cool, so you'll moderate that channel for the next few days? [02:36] mneptok: I know ;) [02:37] nickrud: oh, that's right, you're not even /join'ed to it [02:37] mneptok is it that crazy? I was never offered mod there, so I never spent time there [02:38] In #ubuntu, JoshBP said: !upgrade is slow [02:38] nickrud: we can add you to the op list if it's important to you to keep the channel open. [02:39] mneptok oh, a sarcastic one too :) Sure, I'll stick around there for a day or so [02:39] mneptok better to keep the joy there rather than #ubuntu [02:40] In ubotu, JoshBP said: cheese is a delicous dairy product [02:43] tonyyarusso: please add nickrud to the -r-p access list? [02:48] is ubotu open source? [02:48] konversation literally isn't keeping up with the scrolling in #ubuntu, for christ's sake why should -r-p be closed strictly within 24 hours? it's not like *very* much op attention is being given to #ubuntu either so [02:48] !ubotu | bod_ [02:48] bod_: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.

[05:07] My optimistic guess was obviously wrong again [05:08] I'm thinking we're starting to stabilize wrt the number of users in #ubuntu [05:08] It doesn't seem to peak much anymore during release time [05:11] Amaranth: there's a limit on when people can actually get help, too [05:12] that wouldn't happen if health care were socialized!

[05:41] or her. [05:42] just my opinion, but I think emma has had more than enough chances by now [05:42] stdin: if you could get the -uk ops to agree... [05:42] stdin: she was banned last night. someone's gone and removed it [05:43] oh dear. emma spamming me. [05:43] * stdin pokes Amaranth [05:44] I banned her for PMing people we ban [05:44] Amaranth: someone's removed it [05:44] I thought perhaps she understood why that was bad so I removed it [05:44] And she didn't even stay in the channel long [05:45] she'll try and weasel here way back after a ban [05:45] *her [05:46] * Hobbsee dumps her on ignore [05:46] oh, then she came back after i stopped paying attention [05:46] of course [05:46] stdin: that requires that she gets unbanned from here [05:46] I've just been watching the whole "emma saga", but it's seems quite obvious to me what type of person she is now [05:47] yay, now she's threatening me. [05:47] "After being harassed yet again last night on irc, this is very timely news indeed!" [05:47] lovely [05:47] What did you mean by that? [05:47] Amaranth: fujisan. [05:47] Right, but what does that have to do with launchpad beta testers? [05:48] Do you get harassed on launchpad too? [05:48] Amaranth: yes. [05:48] Amaranth, fujisan stalked hobbsee and found out info about her from launchpad [05:48] they would have found that anyway [05:48] you don't have to be on the beta testers team [05:48] it may have been from the real name on irc, but yeah. [05:48] or even have an account [05:49] I could probably find you on launchpad based on your IRC nick [05:49] yeah, true [05:49] http://www.google.com/search?q=Hobbsee+launchpad [05:49] but that wouldnt' give an indication of my gender, et [05:49] you could probably find it via google for that matter [05:49] c [05:49] just the alias that i use [05:50] yeah, or her real name [05:51] from launchpad i get to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hobbsee [05:51] You're not very private :) [05:52] Amaranth: i know my nick isn't [05:52] Amaranth: my real name used to be [05:52] Every time you install hardy, Hobbsee pokes a kitten with the long pointy stick of doom!

I put the country select in there because it takes a while to test them all, and some folks would be waiting on that dialong a long time. Restricting to country seemed reasonable as a suggestion [11:19] Myrtti:: Just thought !slow could use something better than "be patient with APT" or whatever.
