[03:59] <glick> hello
[03:59] <glick> excuse me is there any tool that will turn an html book into a nice pdf book?
[04:00] <mpt> glick, find a Mac and choose File > Print > Preview? :-)
[04:02] <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
[04:04] <mgalvin> glick: you could, html2ps then ps2pdf
[04:04] <mgalvin> that might work
[04:04] <glick> mgalvin, does that cover multiple html files?
[04:05] <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
[04:06] <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
[04:15] <mpt> awesome
[04:16] <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/>
[04:17] <mpt> "Free binaries may be available elsewhere - search Google to find them."
[04:17] <mpt> ha
[04:18] <mpt> glick, install the htmldoc package from Universe
[04:19] <mpt> that should do what you want
[04:20] <glick> hehe
[04:20] <glick> thanks
[04:28] <mgalvin> sweet, i gotta keep that one handy too :)
[04:28] <mgalvin> good find
[04:33] <glick> nice!
[04:33] <glick> works like a charm
[04:33] <glick> thanks
[05:51] <LaserJock> rob^: have you heard from Unfrgiven  about the packaging guide?
[06:53] <jsgotangco> hello

[08:16] <rob^> does anyone know who the freenode contact is for Ubuntu?
[08:16] <jsgotangco> why?
[08:16] <jsgotangco> your nickmask?
[08:16] <Burgundavia> rob^, I believe it is Dennis K, or Seveas
[08:16] <rob^> jsgotangco, how did you guess?
[08:17] <jsgotangco> rob^, ask Seveas
[08:17] <rob^> Burgundavia, thats what I thought, but I know jdub owns the chans on here so it could also be him
[08:19] <Belutz> jsgotangco, may i pm you for a minute?
[08:20] <jsgotangco> Belutz, sure
[03:24] <bhuvan> what's the purpose of .omf files in our svn repo ?
[03:26] <jsgotangco> bhuvan: those are open meta framework files needed by scrollkeeper
[03:26] <jsgotangco> it enables the doc to be available in yelp
[03:27] <bhuvan> but, only very few documents uses .omf. any specific reason ?
[03:30] <jsgotangco> bhuvan: its useful if you want to see your document in Yelp or Khelpcenter for example
[03:31] <jsgotangco> there's a better explanation in the help page of creating scrollkeeper files in yelp
[03:32] <bhuvan> ok, i'll check, thankx
[03:32] <jjesse> morning
[03:42] <jbailey> Oh, deos khelpcentre also do .omf?
[03:43] <jsgotangco> jbailey: sure its also scrollkeeper aware anyways
[03:43] <jbailey> Cool.
[03:47] <Ophiocus> hi there just to let you know 1) ubuntu started guide is awesome and 2) theres a typo for the link on step six in http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/faqguide-all.html#sect-dhcp-server
[03:48] <jsgotangco> hmmm
[03:49] <jsgotangco> can you file a bug on that?
[03:49] <Ophiocus> bugzilla you mean?
[03:50] <jsgotangco> you can use malone if you want
[03:50] <bhuvan> bugzilla.ubuntu.com
[03:50] <jsgotangco> but bugzilla is preferred
[03:53] <Belutz> jsgotangco, are you busy?
[03:54] <jsgotangco> i'm about to sleep early sure i have a minute or two for you :)
[03:54] <Belutz> ok, i pm you
[03:59] <Ophiocus> done
[06:10] <bhuvan> good night
[07:35] <highvoltage> where is everyone!?
[07:36] <Madpilot> home with a cold, in my case
[07:36] <Madpilot> I should be at work
[07:45] <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.
[07:46] <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
[07:53] <judax> greetings
[07:53] <highvoltage> Madpilot: any idea where your brother is?
[07:54] <highvoltage> hi judax 
[07:54] <judax> hiya
[08:43] <Madpilot> highvoltage: probably at work
[09:53] <mdke> evening
[09:54] <keyboardMash> hi mdke 
[09:54] <highvoltage> hi md
[09:54] <highvoltage> ke
[09:54] <mdke> :)
[09:54] <Madpilot> hi
[09:57] <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
[09:58] <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...
[09:59] <mdke> yes
[10:00] <highvoltage> a woman just said "open sores" on oprah. i almost got excited and thought she said "open source.
[10:01] <Madpilot> King Bahamut is fond of his hyperbole, isn't he? 
[10:02] <Madpilot> ... and I see that Steve Myer is mentioned, too...
[10:03] <rob1> ok, I have a new nick now..
[10:04] <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
[10:05] <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...
[10:09] <mdke> correct
[10:09] <mdke> in fact I emailed him privately
[10:09] <mdke> and got no response
[10:10] <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
[10:11] <mdke> perhaps we can catch him on #ubuntu-gwos
[10:12] <Madpilot> with all of 4 people there...
[10:13] <mdke> i pinged im
[10:19] <mdke> ok
[10:19] <mdke> forget it
[10:19] <mdke> his last post was simply rude
[10:23] <Madpilot> very strange...
[10:23] <mdke> yeah
[10:23] <mdke> well these things happen
[10:24] <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
[10:25] <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...
[10:26] <mdke> well for someone who writes documentation, he has a strange way of writing :D
[10:53] <jjesse> Madpilot: we have someone who is like that on the doc team :)
[10:53] <Madpilot> hmm?
[10:56] <mdke> nah, he's not so bad
[10:56] <mdke> :)
 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
[10:59] <mdke> he didn't mean corey
[10:59] <Kinnison> Madpilot: Older-brother's perogative eh :-)
[10:59] <Madpilot> Kinnison: absolutely :)
[11:00] <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
[11:01] <mdke> ahh
