| glick | hello | 03:59 |
|---|---|---|
| glick | excuse me is there any tool that will turn an html book into a nice pdf book? | 03:59 |
| mpt | glick, find a Mac and choose File > Print > Preview? :-) | 04:00 |
| === mpt hunts for something better | ||
| glick | this is one long book | 04:02 |
| glick | the java virtual machine specification | 04:02 |
| glick | it consists of several cross referenced files and stuff | 04:02 |
| mgalvin | glick: you could, html2ps then ps2pdf | 04:04 |
| mgalvin | that might work | 04:04 |
| glick | mgalvin, does that cover multiple html files? | 04:04 |
| mpt | ahh, multiple files | 04:05 |
| mpt | probably not | 04:05 |
| glick | igs a book across multiple files | 04:05 |
| mgalvin | meaning will it determine what pages are linked and follow the links? | 04:05 |
| mgalvin | prob not | 04:05 |
| mgalvin | but its worth trying | 04:06 |
| mpt | mgalvin, I think just concatenating the files into one PDF would do | 04:06 |
| glick | http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/ | 04:06 |
| glick | thats the book | 04:06 |
| mgalvin | mpt: good point | 04:06 |
| mgalvin | that may work | 04:06 |
| mpt | awesome | 04:15 |
| mpt | htmldoc is available under the GPL <http://www.htmldoc.org/> | 04:16 |
| mpt | if you want a binary, that costs you $49.95 <http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/> | 04:16 |
| mpt | "Free binaries may be available elsewhere - search Google to find them." | 04:17 |
| mpt | ha | 04:17 |
| mpt | glick, install the htmldoc package from Universe | 04:18 |
| mpt | that should do what you want | 04:19 |
| glick | hehe | 04:20 |
| glick | thanks | 04:20 |
| mgalvin | sweet, i gotta keep that one handy too :) | 04:28 |
| mgalvin | good find | 04:28 |
| glick | nice! | 04:33 |
| glick | works like a charm | 04:33 |
| glick | thanks | 04:33 |

| bhuvan | what's the purpose of .omf files in our svn repo ? | 03:24 |
| jsgotangco | bhuvan: those are open meta framework files needed by scrollkeeper | 03:26 |
| jsgotangco | it enables the doc to be available in yelp | 03:26 |
| bhuvan | but, only very few documents uses .omf. any specific reason ? | 03:27 |
| === jjesse [n=jjesse@mail.ftpb.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| jsgotangco | bhuvan: its useful if you want to see your document in Yelp or Khelpcenter for example | 03:30 |
| jsgotangco | there's a better explanation in the help page of creating scrollkeeper files in yelp | 03:31 |
| bhuvan | ok, i'll check, thankx | 03:32 |
| jjesse | morning | 03:32 |
| jbailey | Oh, deos khelpcentre also do .omf? | 03:42 |
| jsgotangco | jbailey: sure its also scrollkeeper aware anyways | 03:43 |
| jbailey | Cool. | 03:43 |

| jsgotangco | hmmm | 03:48 |
| jsgotangco | can you file a bug on that? | 03:49 |
| Ophiocus | bugzilla you mean? | 03:49 |
| jsgotangco | you can use malone if you want | 03:50 |
| bhuvan | bugzilla.ubuntu.com | 03:50 |
| jsgotangco | but bugzilla is preferred | 03:50 |
| Belutz | jsgotangco, are you busy? | 03:53 |
| jsgotangco | i'm about to sleep early sure i have a minute or two for you :) | 03:54 |

| bhuvan | good night | 06:10 |
| highvoltage | where is everyone!? | 07:35 |
| Madpilot | home with a cold, in my case | 07:36 |
| Madpilot | I should be at work | 07:36 |
| === mpt [n=mpt@66.103.220.192] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| highvoltage | Madpilot: whatever you do, don't stay in bed. that's the biggest mistake people make. | 07:45 |
| highvoltage | if you have a cold, you should take it easy, but also get some fresh air. | 07:45 |
| highvoltage | if you stay in bed, you basically end up lying in a pool of your own germs. | 07:45 |
| Madpilot | I'm huddled with tea in front of the computer right now, that's a step above being in bed, I guess :) | 07:46 |
| Madpilot | going to go out for a walk later, unless it starts raining again | 07:46 |

| mdke | evening | 09:53 |
| keyboardMash | hi mdke | 09:54 |
| highvoltage | hi md | 09:54 |
| highvoltage | ke | 09:54 |
| mdke | :) | 09:54 |
| Madpilot | hi | 09:54 |
| mdke | Madpilot, following the King Bahamut business? | 09:57 |
| mdke | i just got some replies from him | 09:57 |
| Madpilot | the new wiki? | 09:57 |
| mdke | yeah | 09:57 |
| mdke | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81666 | 09:58 |
| mdke | start at post 25 on that thread | 09:58 |
| Madpilot | Bahamut - that name came up w/ one of the folks a few months ago who was moving huge chunks of the existing wiki around without talking to anyone, too... | 09:58 |
| mdke | yes | 09:59 |
| highvoltage | a woman just said "open sores" on oprah. i almost got excited and thought she said "open source. | 10:00 |
| Madpilot | King Bahamut is fond of his hyperbole, isn't he? | 10:01 |
| Madpilot | ... and I see that Steve Myer is mentioned, too... | 10:02 |
| rob1 | ok, I have a new nick now.. | 10:03 |
| rob1 | that caret couldn't be used in a hostmask | 10:04 |
| mdke | highvoltage, lol | 10:04 |
| rob1 | ok, off to work now.. | 10:04 |
| mdke | bye rob1 | 10:04 |
| mdke | Madpilot, yes, it looks like we're fighting a losing battle there | 10:04 |
| jjesse | wow what a crazy thread on that wiki | 10:04 |
| rob1 | eh another duplicate resource.. | 10:05 |
| Madpilot | it's insane, really... if Myers had just dropped a note to the list and talked about what he was planning, it would have worked out.... bleh... | 10:05 |
| mdke | correct | 10:09 |
| mdke | in fact I emailed him privately | 10:09 |
| mdke | and got no response | 10:09 |
| Madpilot | and several people left notes on his wiki user page or on some of the other pages he created, too | 10:10 |
| mdke | yes | 10:10 |
| mdke | I left one | 10:10 |
| mdke | both that and my email were extremely conciliatory | 10:10 |
| mdke | perhaps we can catch him on #ubuntu-gwos | 10:11 |
| === mdke tries | ||
| Madpilot | with all of 4 people there... | 10:12 |
| mdke | i pinged im | 10:13 |
| mdke | ok | 10:19 |
| mdke | forget it | 10:19 |
| mdke | his last post was simply rude | 10:19 |
| Madpilot | very strange... | 10:23 |
| mdke | yeah | 10:23 |
| mdke | well these things happen | 10:23 |
| mdke | i just thought I'd try and build some bridges ;) | 10:24 |
| mdke | since I've failed, I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it | 10:24 |
| mdke | odd chap that | 10:24 |
| Madpilot | I've encountered ppl like that elsewhere on the web - they won't play in anyone else's sandbox, they've got to have total control, and sulk when they don't have it... | 10:25 |
| Madpilot | the name-calling hyperbole fits right in to the same mold... | 10:25 |
| mdke | well for someone who writes documentation, he has a strange way of writing :D | 10:26 |
| jjesse | Madpilot: we have someone who is like that on the doc team :) | 10:53 |
| Madpilot | hmm? | 10:53 |
| mdke | nah, he's not so bad | 10:56 |
| mdke | :) | 10:56 |
| Madpilot | <grin> Corey can be a bit like that, but he's growing out of it... and I'm allowed to say that, because he's my younger brother :P | 10:57 |
| === LaserJock [n=LaserJoc@lambda.chem.unr.edu] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| mdke | he didn't mean corey | 10:59 |
| Kinnison | Madpilot: Older-brother's perogative eh :-) | 10:59 |
| Madpilot | Kinnison: absolutely :) | 10:59 |
| === Kinnison grins | ||
| === Kinnison 's younger brother is unfortunately taller and faster than he is | ||
| mdke | heh | 11:00 |
| Madpilot | Much to his frustration, Corey remains an inch or so shorter than I am | 11:00 |
| mdke | what age gap? | 11:00 |
| Madpilot | 4 years | 11:00 |
| mdke | ahh | 11:01 |
