Reminds me of a time that a server operator on another IRC network
accidentally managed to ban everyone from that network…that happened to
be the #3 largest IRC network at the time.  Fixing *that* was fun :)

Well the worst thing I've done is type and send my password...that was
on an internal work channel not an OpenStack one, but I think that
only made it more embarrassing!

... because I'm lazy and haven't brought my bouncer back online:

j #openstack-meeting-alt

Yes, I like to remind 'j' often that there is a channel called 
openstack-meeting-alt instead of actually joining it myself.

if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}${OS_CLOUD:+${OS_CLOUD}:}${OS_REGION_NAME:+${OS_REGION_NAME}:}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$

else

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}${OS_CLOUD:+${OS_CLOUD}:}${OS_REGION_NAME:+${OS_REGION_NAME}:}\u@\h:\w\$
'
fi

Is in my prompt for that very reason, FWIW

The fact that I'm prone to off-by-one errors (particularly when typing
spaces) has reconditioned me to no longer use "got it" in chat conversation.

That reminds me of how often I type "testes" when only 50% of the time 
I'm talking about male genitalia.

My IRC mishaps go like:

Tried to set a channel topic and ended up making it
look like messages sent on the channel instead.

Another moment was when I accidentally sent a PM to a channel.
(wrong window moment)

Hi!

I can't tell you the number of times I've typed or pasted one of these:

:wq

or

1407gg

or

ggVG

or

:find nova/compute/resource_tracker.py

or

Vgq

or

tox -py27 -- --failing

Such is the life of a keyboard-driven contributor I guess! :)

Quick tip:

#1 - Move all those bespoke rc's into a single clouds.yaml:
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-openstackclient/configuration.html

#2 - Abolish OS_* except OS_CLOUD from your environment variables

#3 - Add $OS_CLOUD to your $PS1 -- You will now always know what cloud
you're pointed at.

Re: [openstack-dev] [All] IRC Mishaps

[Miguel Lavalle]

On one occasion I was sharing links in a meeting, and kept typing #url
, until someone was gracious enough to ask me in a private
conversation what was the meaning of #url.

On another occasion, I was substituting for the meeting chair person and
typed #startmeeting wrong-meeting-name. When the chair person came back
from vacation, he couldn't find the log. Fortunately, the infra team helped
me moving the log file to the correct location

I have also had some ... unfortunate ... typos over the years. Changing
one letter of some words can really give a message a completely
different meaning :)

Also, I have '/j #openstack-meeting' and then '#startmeeting' while on a
completely different IRC network, and wondered why I was talking to
myself.

What about the one where you're conducting a private conversation in one 
window, and watching a group chat in another one, and then drop some deeply 
personal (or embarrassing!) content in the group chat instead the PM ;)

Re: [openstack-dev] [All] IRC Mishaps

[Mark Voelker]

I work with lots of different clouds and any time I switch focus to a terminal 
I have to figure out which cloud it’s environment is set up to use.  My 
terminal emulator has the same color scheme as my IRC client, so I’ve probably 
typed “set | grep OS_” into IRC accidentally about a million times over the 
years. 

Another fun one is that several times over the years I’ve gotten pings on IRC 
because someone was trying to copy/paste a large section of text from an IRC 
meeting into an email (usually to continue a conversation that was started 
during a meeting after we ran out of time).  Several times someone has 
accidentally pasted the text right back into their IRC client instead of their 
email client, so everyone in the meeting got notified that they’d been 
mentioned again.

I can't even keep count of the number of times I and others on the
Infra team get requests to redact passwords or similar sensitive
information from our published IRC logs. Across a community the size
of ours it's a pretty frequent occurrence (and of course we have to
remind them that there's not a lot of point since we can't scrub
anything from everyone's personal channel buffers/logs anyway).

Even though I've been a constant IRC user for nearly 3 decades, I
still do that with great frequency. It's also amusing to respond to
these with realistic shell errors or similar sorts of sarcastic
output. ;)

And the various other keyboard-emulating OTP fobs which regularly
spit up some 6-digit series when its user accidentally bumps the
button. It's fun to refer to them as "number stations."

Even more embarassing when you leak your IRC addiction with things like:

not realizing there is a space at the beginning of a line, and
typing a '/' command.

I am constantly typing ' /win 10' into channels, or more embarrassingly
' /whois '

Yes! Like all the time because there's no USB port that will be perfect for a

What about the one where you're conducting a private conversation in one 
window, and watching a group chat in another one, and then drop some deeply 
personal (or embarrassing!) content in the group chat instead the PM ;)

At a previous employer we had a policy that all passwords started with "/"
because of the sheer number of times someone typed the root password into a
public IRC channel.

How about the crowd favorite of accidentally submitting your password in
chat instead of where you were trying to?

At least people can help you evaluate your password strength :)

Hi!

I can't tell you the number of times I've typed or pasted one of these:

:wq

or

1407gg

or

ggVG

or

:find nova/compute/resource_tracker.py

or
