Burglaptopthe pain comes when I move, so as long as I sit still I am fine12:07
BurglaptopI fixed that s/Below/Under thing I did yesterday12:08
BurglaptopI hate having to break URLs like this, but I think we need to, because the other wikis are not appearing soon12:09
Burglaptopmdke: and did you have any thoughts on removing all the talk pages that merely list all the previous subpages?12:09
=== mdke hmms
mdkeBurglaptop, yeah the talk pages can go. we kept them with the idea that some might be useful for making lists in the original pages, but that need has long gone away IMO12:10
Burglaptopok, they are going to die now12:10
mdkeit might be time to up the pace on BetterWikiDocs, you're right12:10
mdkebrb12:11
mdkeback12:12
BurglaptopI am expecting dapper+1 realisitically12:17
mdkedepends i think12:18
mdkeif we push it and work out a really good solution, we can get it done quicker12:18
mdkegeez I can't upgrade here at my parents12:22
mdkemust be the fascist ISP getting in the way12:23
Burglaptopwhy? apt uses port 8012:28
mdkeyeah, working now12:28
=== mdke shrugs
mdkeperhaps it was trying to resume an old download or something and didn't like it12:28
Burglaptopwell, that should be all the talk pages12:36
mdkeheh12:36

Burglaptops/are/say12:42
Burglaptopabout, even12:44
Burglaptopand I claim to speak english!12:44
=== mdke tries to understand
Burglaptopdon't bother. Madpilot gave up years ago12:47
mdkehehe12:47
mdkegeez dapper is so good, I'm really tempted just to dist-upgrade my breezy partition and use it for work12:49
BurglaptopX is going to break in early Jan, daniels warned yesterday12:50
mdkeah, is that version 7 coming in?12:51
crimsunyes12:51
Burglaptopyes, and some other breakage related to meta packages, from what i understand12:51
mdkeah hey crimsun 12:51
mdkebut will it break even just doing upgrades, or will he keep the packages back until they are fixed?12:52
Burglaptopno, it is some upgrade issue12:53
Burglaptopdaniel did not elaborate12:53
mdkeok12:53
mdkei generally feel that as long as I don't dist-upgrade, I'm safe12:53

BurglaptopLaptopUsage or LaptopHowTo for a clearinghouse page for laptop usage on Ubuntu02:10
Burglaptop?02:10
Madpilothi all02:44
mdkelo02:45
MadpilotBurglaptop: you've started to spell "useful" as "userful", you know - I've seen it several times in your RecentChanges flood :P02:46
mdkethe guy is on speed, give him a break :)02:47
Burglaptopno, it is because of my job02:47
MadpilotHe also works for a company called "Userful" - maybe it's subtle advertising02:47
Burglaptopnope, when I try and spell userful, I usually spell it useful02:48
mdkei still blame the speed02:48
mdkeor morphine or whatever02:48
Madpilotmdke: I think it's actually Tylenol, but whatever ;)02:48
mdkewell whatever it is, it works02:49
mdkejudging by RecentChanges02:49
Burglaptopactually it is boredom02:49
Burglaptopso, LaptopUsage or LaptopHowto for the clearinghouse page for help on using laptops02:49
mdkewhatever you prefer02:50
mdkebloody hell this sounder crap is getting on my tits02:50
mdke4 consecutive mails, on the same thread, by the same person??02:50
BurglaptopScott?02:51
mdkeyes this guy with all the anger02:52
Burglaptopangrykeyboarder indeed02:52
mdkethis latest one02:52
mdkei'll summarise02:53
Madpilotdoes Sounder = Ubuntu Users, or are there still two mailing lists?02:53
mdke"we should have build-essential because linux geeks are surprised not to find them. If Ubuntu made more frequent updates, I'd have no need for compiling software..."02:53
BurglaptopMadpilot: there are still two02:53
=== mdke swears
Burglaptopmdke: more frequent updates???? 6 months is grueling enough02:54
mdkewhat a cock02:54
MadpilotOK - I'm on neither, but do sometimes check ubuntuforum's mirror of UUsers02:54
mdkebshumate, you rock! nice work on the wiki02:54
Madpilotthat passwords page is great - and I'm going to be looking into Bastille more...02:56

Burglaptopwould you guys assume that if a page has had no edits recently, it likely hasn03:52
Burglaptopt got any views either?'03:52
crimsundepends03:53
Burglaptopfor docs, I can assume so03:53
crimsunif the creation date of the page is pre-Hoary, I'd say that's a viable assumption03:53

rob1does anyone know what the url is to the fridge rss feed?08:03
Burglaptopnope, nor is it easily availabe08:03
rob1dang08:04
rob1why not?08:04
Burglaptopbecause it isn't08:05
Burglaptopemail fridge-devel about it08:05
rob1bah08:07
rob1gya08:07
rob1s/gya/gay08:07
Burglaptoprob1: that is not a term we like to use around Ubuntu08:13
Burglaptopgay should not be used as an insult08:13
=== rob1 shrugs
rob1get over it Burglaptop 08:18
Burglaptoprob1: no, I am quite serious08:20
=== rob1 [n=Robert@ubuntu/member/rob1] has joined #ubuntu-doc
Burglaptoprob1: you might have missed what I said. I said I was quite serious08:23
rob1haven't you got something better to do then harass me?08:27
BurglaptopI am not harassing you08:28
BurglaptopI find the term "gay" used as an epithet offensive08:28
rob1sure, but was it that big a deal?08:29
crimsunit can be, particularly with those of us who don't find gender labels very appropriate.08:30
Burglaptopgay is as offensive as calling someone a nigger08:30
rob1gee, when did everyone start getting all politically correct?08:30
Burglaptopor a kike. It it tolerated now, just as those terms were tolerated earlier in history08:30
Burglaptopit doesn't make it any better08:31
Burglaptoprob1: it has nothing to do with being PC. It has to do with respect08:31
rob1yeah ok Burglaptop08:32
rob1like you've never used such terms before08:32
=== rob1 just shrugs and goes back to what he was doing
Burglaptopnot recently and I have made an effort to remove them because they are disrespectful08:33
rob1well good for you, no need to force your believes down my throat08:35
crimsunI certainly wouldn't use them in -devel, I'll put it that way.08:35
crimsunnot only because there are Canonical and Ubuntu employees who would readily smack you down, but like Corey stated, it's disrespectful.08:36
Burglaptoprob1: it is not my beliefs. It is the Ubuntu code of conduct08:36
Burglaptopwhich incidentally all three of us have signed and are in a channel that is bound by it08:36
rob1like I said, surely you have something better to do. whats the big deal exactly?08:37
crimsunthe big deal is the simple lack of respect08:38
rob1of what, exactly?08:38
Burglaptoprob1: I said that I found the term you used offensive08:39
Burglaptopand you choose to ridcule that belief08:39
rob1ok, well I apologize that you took it as being offensive, that wasn't the intent. 08:40
Burglaptopthank you08:40
Burglaptopand please don't use that term on any ubuntu channels again08:41
Burglaptopyou might get a far harsher reception08:41
Burglaptopat least 2 of the Canonical employees are openly gay08:41
rob1whatever, you don't tell me what to do08:41
Burglaptopno, I made a request of you08:41
rob1you got your apologie, what more do you want?08:42
Burglaptopit is not about me rob108:43
Burglaptopseperate the messenger from the message08:43
rob1get over it08:43
Burglaptoprob1: one of the things that Ubuntu is well known for a welcoming and inviting community to all08:45
Burglaptoppeople using the word "Gay" as an epipthet is not part of that08:45
=== rob1 just puts this down to a difference in cultures
Burglaptopand the precise reason the CoC was created08:45
Burglaptoprob1: in fact there a lot of people in Canada who use it to and I hate it from them as well08:46
rob1where I live, people don't get on the bandwagon about something as innocent as this08:46
rob1oh well..08:46
Burglaptoprespect is one of those intangible things that you can lose with the smallest of things and must make the largest of efforts to gain back08:47
Burglaptophence why we must think carefully about what we say and how we might offend other people, especially in a place where people can only see your text and not your body language and tone of speech08:48
rob1its not about respect, I made a momentary lapse in judgement - not something so bad as to publicly deserve the third degree08:50
Burglaptopthat was not the third degree08:50
rob1if you had a problem with it, you should have pm'ed me instead and I would have quickly apologised. harping on in chan about something as ridiculous as this just gets you on the bad side of people08:51
rob1hence, I have no time for it08:52
BurglaptopI didn't mean to publicly embarrass you. I merely was pointing out something I found offensive. I am sorry if I offended you08:55
rob1ok08:55
rob1I'm off, I have christmas things to do08:55
Madpilot... wow, the things I miss when I'm away from the computer...08:55
Burglaptopbon soir, Madpilot08:55
Madpilotjust finished read the backscroll :P08:56
MadpilotI need to crash. Good night, Merry Christmas, and bah humbug to all - I'll be back on the 26th, probably.09:06
Kamping_Kaisernight mate09:06
Kamping_Kaisersee you round09:06
MadpilotBurglaptop: I'm going to shut down the server until I get back, too09:07
BurglaptopMadpilot: np09:08
