[04:07] <Madpilot> the--dud: ping
[04:07] <Madpilot> the--dud: are you writing those big Command Line articles on the wiki?
[04:29] <robitaille> Madpilot,  do you a good web site with public domain pictures?  I'm looking for a good picture of a duck to use on planet.u.c
[04:29] <robitaille> s/you/you know/
[04:30] <Madpilot> rob^: wiki commons?
[04:30] <Madpilot> robitaille: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Duck
[04:31] <Madpilot> but Dapper Drake is supposed to be a dragon, not a duck! ;)
[04:32] <robitaille> the poll on the fridge indicates otherwise :)
[04:32] <Madpilot> robitaille: if it has to be a duck, let's make it a cool looking duck: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Drake_Mandarin_Ducks.jpg
[04:32] <robitaille> thanks for the link;  I always forget about  that one.
[04:35] <mpt> also http://sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=search&txt=duck&w=1
[04:35] <the--dud> Madpilot, that would be me yes
[04:36] <Madpilot> http://sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=396319&DREAMID=1040deacb0cc676694f7a6bda804da73
[04:36] <Madpilot> the--dud: looks like it'll be a load of work!
[04:36] <Madpilot> the--dud: I was wondering where your work leaves BasicCommands?
[04:36] <sladen> we're going to end up with a fire-breathing duck at this point
[04:37] <the--dud> Madpilot, not sure I understand you...
[04:37] <Madpilot> the--dud: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands
[04:38] <Madpilot> we could go for the awww-cute factor: http://sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=357826
[04:38] <the--dud> ah ok, well its a slightly different angle and it goes a bit deeper. I hope
[04:39] <Madpilot> the--dud: when you've mostly finished your articles, maybe we should stick a link on the bottom of BasicCommands - for a more in-depth view, go here...
[04:40] <the--dud> excellent idea :) I've forked it into two parts, hoping to get the basic part done early next week
[04:45] <Madpilot> much cooler drake than some ducks: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Ljubljana_dragon.JPG
[06:15] <jsgotangco> hi ho
[06:16] <mdke> hello
[06:16] <mdke> :/
[06:16] <jsgotangco> mmm?
[06:16] <mdke> i had a bad dream
[06:16] <jsgotangco> whoa
[06:16] <mdke> then I just heard a man screaming as if hurt
[06:16] <mdke> i'm freaked out :)
[06:17] <jsgotangco> helloween night
[06:17] <mdke> i went out to look
[06:17] <mdke> but no one was around
[06:17] <jsgotangco> and you're alone in the dark...
[06:18] <mdke> heh
[06:18] <mdke> no i have lights
[06:18] <jsgotangco> mm..much better
[06:18] <jsgotangco> when i was in college i digged that kind of stuff
[06:18] <mdke> but not sleep
[06:19] <jsgotangco> mdke: does gnome have a speech synthesizer?
[06:19] <mdke> dunno
[06:20] <jsgotangco> im trying to make the machine speak to me
[06:20] <jsgotangco> like this chat for example
[06:20] <mdke> cool
[06:21] <jsgotangco> i just don't know if most kde apps integrate with kttsd
[06:26] <highvoltage> mdke: any luck with fastcgi?
[06:27] <mdke> no it crashed on me whenever a client connected
[06:27] <mdke> but henrik managed to get one up
[06:27] <highvoltage> oh, cool. sleep well then :)
[06:27] <mdke> i still wanna succeed at some stage
[06:27] <mdke> zzz
[06:28] <jsgotangco> what does fastcgi do?
[06:28] <highvoltage> my guess would be that it provides a cgi interface for webpages, and to do it fast :)
[06:29] <jsgotangco> lol
[06:37] <jsgotangco> im still trying to use dasher for my text input
[06:37] <jsgotangco> but somehow what i type won't move to firefox
[06:38] <jsgotangco> ahh i get it now
[06:44] <jsgotangco> its like that 
[06:44] <jsgotangco> ahhh!!!
[06:46] <highvoltage> it's like that, it's just the way it is.
[06:51] <jsgotangco> hehe its because of dasher
[06:52] <jsgotangco> perhaps something similar 
[06:52] <jsgotangco> wow
[06:52] <jsgotangco> i got to type that in dasher
[07:15] <jsgotangco> hey Burglaptop 
[07:21] <Burglaptop> salut jsgotangco 
[07:22] <jsgotangco> how's ubz?
[07:23] <Burglaptop> good
[07:23] <Burglaptop> just going to sleep now about going out to drink with jbailey 
[07:25] <jsgotangco> nice
[07:25] <jsgotangco> uphold the dokteam kause!
[07:26] <Burglaptop> I will try
[07:58] <Burglaptop> night
[04:07] <robitaille> so Burgundavia  how is Montreal?
[04:07] <Burgundavia> god
[04:07] <Burgundavia> good, even
[04:08] <robitaille> I'm a bit jealous :)
[04:08] <robitaille> ah well, tonight I'll do trick and treats with the kids
[04:08] <Burgundavia> yes
[04:10] <Burgundavia> you going to be around in 2 1/2 hours?
[04:10] <Burgundavia> helpful help bof is happening then
[04:11] <robitaille> Burgundavia,  maybe.  i'm at work all day long, with on and off irc access
[04:11] <Burgundavia> ok
[06:23] <jsgotangco> Burgundavia: evaluate gnome user guide?
[06:24] <jsgotangco> documentation marketing?
[06:26] <Burgundavia> jsgotangco, new specs, there is going to be a post to the list about them soon
[06:26] <jsgotangco> ok
[06:26] <jsgotangco> documentation marketing is interesting though
[06:26] <Burgundavia> there are 4 new ones
[06:27] <mdke> who wrote em?
[06:28] <mdke> ah you
[06:28] <mdke> i think we market are marketing them already
[06:29] <mdke> doc/help.u.c was posted to the fridge, I posted on the forums about them too
[06:29] <jsgotangco> well yeah
[06:29] <mdke> and sounder/ubuntu-users
[06:29] <mdke> and we can keep doing that
[06:29] <jsgotangco> i think corey is thinking more outside the ubuntu realm, say lwn
[06:29] <mdke> jsgotangco, i was just going on what it says in the spec
[06:29] <jsgotangco> i've seen my annoucement of the styleguide in lwn before
[06:31] <jsgotangco> don't get me wrong but our output still needs some more marketing love imo
[06:31] <mdke> sure
[06:32] <mdke> i was just pointing out that what is said in the spec under "implementation" is already the current practise
[09:08] <Burgundavia> hello all
[09:08] <Madpilot> hi Burgundavia - having fun in Montreal?
[09:09] <Burgundavia> indded
[09:12] <Madpilot> too much beer, too much geekery, not enough sleep, right?
[09:16] <Burgundavia> yep
