[00:20] <ubottu> Alan502 called the ops in #ubuntu ()
[00:20] <dragon> In #ubuntu, _BLACK_MAN_ is looking for attention.
[00:21] <dragon> thanks bazhang
[00:21] <bazhang> in PM now
[00:50] <bazhang> linera seems to be having trouble understanding basics
[01:15] <bazhang> linera seems to be trolling; anyone else seeing this?
[01:16] <MenZa> bazhang: looks like trolling to me
[01:16] <MenZa> [2009-12-19 01:15:10 UTC] < Linera> i need dxdiag to see it
[01:16] <MenZa> that got me convinced ^
[01:16] <bazhang> MenZa, oh hai
[01:16] <MenZa> o hai bazhang
[01:16] <bazhang> yep, and two suggestions have morphed into 10,000
[01:16] <bazhang> MenZa, UBUNTU MEMBER!!!!
[01:17] <MenZa> indeed!
[01:17] <bazhang> :)
[01:17] <MenZa> 'tis a nice feeling.
[01:17] <bazhang> hehe
[01:17] <nhandler> You deserved it MenZa :)
[01:17] <MenZa> Thanks, nhandler :)
[01:17] <bazhang> very true :)
[01:17]  * MenZa bows deeply.
[01:19] <MenZa> My @ubuntu.com e-mail still isn't functioning.
[01:19] <MenZa> :\
[01:19] <bazhang> hah
[01:22] <nhandler> MenZa: How long has it been? The script runs every 2 days: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEmail
[01:22] <MenZa> Aye, it's been since Tuesday
[01:22] <MenZa> I confirmed with ninnnu who was accepted at the same meeting, and she's experiencing the same
[01:22] <MenZa> so I sent off an e-mail to rt@ubuntu
[01:23] <nhandler> :)
[01:23] <MenZa> Oh, nhandler -- yesterday, yes, I was referring to the ubuntu-irc thread
[01:25] <bazhang> going out for a bit, linera seems to have quieted down
[01:38] <MenZa> I'm confused as to Linera's intentions.
[01:39] <MenZa> Trolling? Are they just clueless?
[01:39] <ubottu> Jamed_ called the ops in #ubuntu (Linera asks the same question over and over, ignoring any attempts to help. i consider that trolling)
[01:40] <niko> any ops around ?
[01:40] <ubottu> Billiard called the ops in #ubuntu (Linera is a troll, complaining about lack of dxdiag, won't answer any questions when attempted to be helped)
[01:40] <ubottu> FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (repeated abuse from linera)
[01:41] <MenZa> Anyone?
[01:45] <bazhang> yikes
[01:45] <MenZa> bazhang: Hold it for a second.
[01:45] <bazhang> MenZa, ok
[01:45] <MenZa> bazhang: I've been watching it, and it seems like they /may/ make some sort of progress.
[01:45] <MenZa> Or perhaps they were just intimidated by all the ops calls.
[01:45] <bazhang> MenZa, apparently its been going on for hours
[01:46] <MenZa> bazhang: yeah, I'll keep watching
[01:46] <bazhang> okay, really going away now :)
[01:46] <MenZa> :<
[01:46] <MenZa> I have no access! :P
[01:46] <bazhang> I can mute her/him and have a chat
[01:47] <bazhang> the channel seems to be asking for his/her removal quite explicitly
[01:47] <MenZa> I'll just query switch
[01:47] <MenZa> No, no that's alright
[01:47] <MenZa> If it goes out of control, I'll call staff
[01:47] <bazhang> okay
[01:47] <niko> feel free to ask here
[01:47] <niko> if there is no ops
[01:48] <bazhang> he/she is just not listening.
[01:48] <MenZa> niko: gotcha
[01:48] <bazhang> same circle of I have ubuntu installed after repeated explanations
[01:49] <MenZa> \o enjoy, bazhang
[01:49] <bazhang> :0
[01:49] <MenZa> niko: If you're around, I'll poke you instead of calling everyone in here ;)
[01:50] <niko> i prefer you ask ops first :)
[01:50] <Pici> Its certainly not helping that 5 people are giving varying directions at the same time.
[01:51] <MenZa> Pici: I think people have gotten over-eager, and that last comment ("There is no terminal") is making me think this is just a very successful troll.
[01:51] <bazhang> its not varying directions. he/she was told to try something lighter.
[01:53]  * MenZa considers something like !confusion is <reply> Please don't all step in at once! It can be very overwhelming and confusing for a person to receive advice from more than one person at any given time.
[01:53] <bazhang> nah, its a troll.
[01:54] <Pici> It sounds like a confused user to me.
[01:54] <MenZa> Pici: It's been going on for hours now.
[01:54] <bazhang> that is what I thought as well
[01:54] <MenZa> Pici: Literally.
[01:54] <bazhang> but the responses are the exact same. and then it starts afresh.
[01:58] <bazhang> witness.
[01:58] <MenZa> ah, there we go
[01:58] <MenZa> the cycle is complete.
[01:58] <MenZa> and starts again.
[01:59] <Pici> Then take them aside
[01:59] <niko> i'm agree
[01:59] <bazhang> I'm already on ubuntu
[01:59] <MenZa> bazhang: yours for the taking.
[02:00] <MenZa> This is getting ridiculous.
[02:01] <bazhang> waiting for a response
[02:03] <niko> i guess you can wait a long time
[02:03] <bazhang> heh
[02:04] <bazhang> I'm a patient individual; try Taipei traffic sometime :)
[02:04] <MenZa> lol
[02:04] <bazhang> no response via PM so far
[02:05] <Pici> bazhang: please send another one
[02:05]  * Pici sighs
[02:05] <bazhang> Pici, done
[02:08] <Pici> incoming
[02:08] <bazhang> alright
[02:09] <Pici> bazhang: you're up
[02:09] <bazhang> Linera, hi
[02:13] <Pici> bazhang: Can you op up in #ubuntu and deal with Linera, I need to take a phone call
[02:13] <bazhang> Pici, no problems
[02:14] <bazhang> ray66, hi
[02:16] <bazhang> Linera, you are here though. This is where you need to address, or via PM
[02:19] <bazhang> Linera in here
[02:21] <bazhang> Pici, he/she claims not to be in this channel, I have to step out for a minute, will be back soon.
[02:24] <MenZa> I'm grabbing Cunbuntu in PM
[02:25] <elky> please tell me someone had a word about <AtomicSpark> i cant stalk the womens if my browser is unstable!
[02:25] <MenZa> wat
[02:25] <elky> in -ot
[02:25] <bazhang> did not see that
[02:25] <MenZa> me neither
[02:25] <elky> it seems he though myspace crashing firefox seemed to warrant that comment
[02:26] <elky> came through right on the hour to me
[02:26] <elky> 13:00:00 my time
[02:27] <bazhang> <Linera> i have only 1 channel opened  (from #ubuntu)
[02:27] <Pici> Perhaps ask how they got to #ubuntu and suggest that they use the same method to get here?
[02:28] <bazhang> Pici, he/she is refusing to listen to any/all responses.
[02:28] <nalioth> then let them be
[02:28] <bazhang> ok
[02:29] <ubottu> FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit)
[02:29] <nalioth> Linera: if you don't wish to speak with us here, please respect our topic
[02:29] <ubottu> FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit)
[02:29] <ubottu> FloodBot4 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit)
[02:29] <ubottu> FloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (exploit)
[02:29] <bazhang> whoa in his quit message no less
[02:30] <nalioth> no ban needed
[02:32] <bazhang> remove the mute on Linera ?
[02:32] <MenZa> For the record, Cunbuntu insisted he did nothing wrong and threw more of his nonsense from -ot at me.
[02:32] <Pici> Just a heads up, terrorink seems to have some problem with me. I've given him the appeals stuff, so if he comes in here please try to address his concerns.
[02:33] <bazhang> okay
[02:34] <nalioth> bazhang: leave linera as they are, please.  i was responding to the DCC in #ubuntu
[02:34] <bazhang> nalioth, ah sorry.
[02:35] <bazhang> Pici, going to de-op now, as Linera is in here and still not responding to my PM
[02:36] <Pici> bazhang: thats fine
[02:36] <nalioth> Linera: may we help you?
[02:47] <Pici> bazhang: someone reported some racist spam they were getting from cunbuntu
[02:48] <bazhang> Pici, lee ?
[02:48] <Pici> yes
[02:48] <bazhang> aha
[02:48] <bazhang> he was doing similar in -ot
[02:49] <Pici> Also, it seems like terrorink is now trying to guess where I live.  I think I'll put him on soft-ignore now.
[02:53] <bazhang> he's klined now (cunbuntu)
[02:53] <nalioth> Pici: feel free to give them my address
[03:43] <PhantomLink> I have temporarily disabled my script so that I can get help in the main channel.
[03:43] <PhantomLink> Am I okay to join there?
[03:59] <dragon> This guy Dorkins in #ubuntu is trolling.
[04:01] <dragon> Asked the same question several times and never acknowledges answers. Several people tried between 6:55pm - 7:20pm PDT
[04:01] <dragon> s/PDT/PST
[04:02] <dragon> and now he's back with the same
[04:57] <nalioth> jrib: did dorkins not seem familiar to you?
[04:57] <nalioth> dorkins = linera (ban evading)
[05:07] <jrib> nalioth: nope, haven't been around much lately
[05:08] <nalioth> jrib: ok.  was a real big to-do earlier over it
[06:10] <DrVenture> test me
[06:10] <DrVenture> << test me >>
[07:31] <bazhang> just a heads up, computer issues so will be away for a bit.

[08:55] <tonyyarusso> mobi-sheep: can you give me a quick run-down?  (just joined)
[08:55] <mobi-sheep> tonyyarusso: Spamming. Ubuntu is virus, etc.
[08:55] <tonyyarusso> heh, fun...
[08:56] <mobi-sheep> tonyyarusso: STFU and whatnot. :<
[08:56] <ubottu> Billiard called the ops in #ubuntu (dominic)
[08:56] <tonyyarusso> well that makes life easier.
[08:57] <mobi-sheep> tonyyarusso: Good job. :)
[08:57] <Flannel> Floodbots are crazy right now, apparently
[10:10] <ubottu> In #ubuntu, grubster said: ubottu: the probllem is i cannot access the web
[10:19] <aaron11> Hi!
[10:19] <aaron11> grubster wants to change somthing in !german
[10:39] <ubottu> guntbert called the ops in #ubuntu (crazyjr)
[10:52] <wgrant> elky: Thanks.
[10:54] <elky> wgrant, ping me if he comes back for your jugular
[10:55] <wgrant> elky: I'd have removed him myself if I hadn't been busy hunting for a reference.
[10:55] <elky> yeah, it's also better to have someone else deal with someone attacking you like that
[10:55] <elky> or some random onlooker will try cry personal
[10:55] <wgrant> Yeah, I guess.
[10:56] <elky> not essential, but makes it way easier to process
[10:56] <wgrant> Yep.

[11:18] <Mamarok> Tm_T: what is wrong with that yang guy?
[11:21] <Mamarok> Tm_T: please don't feed a troll...
[11:22] <Tm_T> I don't think I feed
[11:23] <Mamarok> just ignore him, he has been told the appropriate place to ask for his question, if he continues he is out
[11:23] <Tm_T> but I feel these things have to be told, it's up to them then to listen
[11:24] <Mamarok> Tm_T: we told him 3 times, I guess that is enough, no?
[11:24] <Tm_T> sure, I wasn't planning to go further, only to say how these things works
[11:24] <Mamarok> everything else is feeding trolls IMHO
[11:24] <Tm_T> Mamarok: hmh, didn't notice, I'm busy here cleaning home, sorry
[11:25] <Mamarok> Tm_T: OK, just read the backlog next time :)
[11:26] <Tm_T> Mamarok: I tried, my old eyes seems to fail when in hurry (:
[11:27] <Mamarok> veery old eyes :)
[11:28]  * Tm_T oils his/her/its rusty joints
[11:29]  * Mamarok wonders what she could oil that is not completely blocked yet
[11:29] <Tm_T> banhammer?
[11:30] <Mamarok> oh, right, good suggestion, in case I need it it better is oiled, indeed :)
[11:38] <jussi01> Hello komputes, is there something we can do today?
[11:38] <jussi01> (for you?)
[13:37] <Mamarok> I am off for shopping, later :)
[15:11] <Amaranth_> MenZa: Actually the script to create your email is "making elmo setup emails every so often"
[15:11] <Amaranth_> So, not actually a script :)
=== Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth
[15:12] <Amaranth> Well, I guess there may be a script involved somewhere...
[16:05] <Myrtti> lots of new names...
[16:06] <pleia2> hey Myrtti :)
[16:23] <tritium> greetings
[16:24]  * Tm_T huggles Myrtti
[16:25] <Myrtti> hi. I'm only testing the water
[16:28] <Mamarok> jussi01: komputes not reacting?
[16:28] <Mamarok> komputes: can we help you?
[16:28] <Myrtti> he's idle...
[16:29] <Myrtti> I could remove him but he's a member and might have a valid reason
[16:30] <Mamarok> Myrtti: he is idling since days now
[16:30] <Mamarok> he still can come back when not idle anymore
[16:31] <Myrtti> ok, pming
[16:32] <Myrtti> wow, I still know how to do that
[16:32] <Myrtti> so, I hear paste.ubuntu.com has been rendered useless?
[16:33] <maco> why's that?
[16:33] <tritium> How so?
[16:33] <maco> hi Myrtti
[16:33] <Myrtti> the openid login stuff?
[16:33]  * maco hugs Myrtti
[16:33] <maco> i havent seen you in a long while!
[16:34] <maco> eeeeek when did THAT happen??
[16:34] <maco> now we have to send people to pastebin.ca? ugh. pastebin.ca is slow. its only use WAS the fact that it had encryption
[16:34] <maco> now i guess its use is "not everybody has an lp account"
[16:34] <Myrtti> well my banlist script now useless until I rewrite it
[16:35] <maco> whose idea was *this*?
[16:35] <Myrtti> and the reason I chose it to use paste.ubuntu.com was because p.u.c doesn't have a list of past pastes that you can click and look at
[16:35] <Myrtti> so there was the random anonymity of "if nobody knows the id, you're safe"
[16:36] <Tm_T> indeed
[16:36] <Myrtti> it's not like the ban statistics are high security stuff, but I would've wanted to keep them at some level discreet
[16:36] <Mamarok> it changed to ubuntu.pastebin.com
[16:36] <Myrtti> meh, not going to use it
[16:37] <maco> Mamarok: which does have the sidebar list Myrtti is complaining about
[16:37] <Myrtti> oo, I can click my way to an email pici has pasted there
[16:37] <Myrtti> intresting!
[16:38] <Tm_T> awww
[16:39] <Myrtti> "road to hell is paved with good intentions"
[16:40] <Myrtti> I wonder if pastebinit has taken this recent change into account
[16:40] <Tm_T> Myrtti: 99,99 % sure it has not
[16:41] <Myrtti> yup
[16:41] <Myrtti> oh, WELL.
[16:41] <Tm_T> Myrtti: interesting times are these
[16:42] <Tm_T> does this paste.ubuntu.com change being announced somewhere?
[16:42] <Myrtti> Tm_T: I don't know, I just read it from the logs of this channel today
[16:43] <Myrtti> I've been trying to keep up with the latest news via them
[16:43] <elky> pastebin.ca does allow basic passwording
[16:44] <Tm_T> Myrtti: yu, I was wondering if others knows about it
[16:47] <Myrtti> I need more tea
[16:59] <bazhang>  avash ([email protected]) has left #ubuntu  just now
[17:00] <bazhang> avash, thanks for joining
[17:01] <avash> yeah because you forced too much. we are at residence now. so it was not any ban evading i was doing.
[17:01] <bazhang> asmodeus, ujjwhol switch , bulb have been using your addresses to troll several ubuntu channels
[17:01] <avash> not this one... they all maybe asleep by now. they do it at daytime from the ip of our work place not this one.
[17:02] <bazhang> avash, switching IP to gain entry to #ubuntu and other channels is ban evasion.
[17:02] <avash> this one is my personal one
[17:02] <avash> 113.199 is different one. you will know it after two days coz now we have weekend.
[17:02] <bazhang> avash, the way to resolve this is not to switch IP to gain entry, but to talk about it here
[17:03] <avash> the ip 113.199 may be banned till now also. its from our work place.
[17:04] <avash> anyway... i will take care of them. and promise you they will not spam or troll or disturb you in your channel. not oly inyours... in whole freenode
[17:04] <bazhang> and asmodeus was using it [asmodeus_] ([email protected]): Avash
[17:04] <bazhang> just a little bit earlier today
[17:05] <avash> yeah man.. i said it is my residence and all the machines i have are mine
[17:05] <bazhang> then you need to control your machines.
[17:06] <avash> it was actullay the olpc we use. we give it to everyone. all from my supervision
[17:06] <ubottu> LjL called the ops in #ubuntu (BLACK_MAN ban evade)
[17:07] <avash> i will just stop them...now stop blaming me to ban evade. its 11 pm here. i will go to sleep. wil inform you when i have done it.
[17:09] <bazhang> odd. the floodbots did not ban with remove (he's using gateway)
[17:09] <tsimpson> bazhang: because he /nick'd probably
[17:10] <tsimpson> the +e was removed then
[17:10] <bazhang> tsimpson, oh right, LjL just told me
[17:10] <Myrtti> [18:54] <komputes> oh hi, sorry about idling in your channel, I did not  know, I just wanted to get to know the IRC operators for  the official ubuntu channels
[17:11]  * MenZa boggles
[17:11] <MenZa> A... Myrtti?
[17:11] <Tm_T> MenZa: no, go back to sleep
[17:11]  * Tm_T hides
[17:11] <MenZa> It's 6pm here
[17:11] <bazhang> hehe
[17:11] <tsimpson> to be fair, that's how I first became an op, joined here and started idling ;)
[17:11] <bazhang> had a long chat with avash
[17:12] <Myrtti> tsimpson: the times, they are a'changed
[17:12] <bazhang> two or three of his flatmates are using his machines to troll,stalk, etc #ubuntu channels
[17:12] <MenZa> O_o
[17:12] <MenZa> This is what passwords are for.
[17:13] <bazhang> yep
[17:13]  * MenZa never, ever lets anyone use his machines unless they're on a seperate user account which he'll happily create for the sole purpose of not using his, even for five minutes.
[17:13] <bazhang> I asked him to rejoin here when he has gotten the machines in question under control in the next day or so
[17:14] <bazhang> heh
[17:14]  * MenZa nods
[17:14] <bazhang> the leader of the project they are involved with in Nepal knows as well
