LaserJockyeah, I know07:43
theCoreoh, hello LaserJock07:44
theCoreI'm still trying to recover (my crash was really due to a hard drive failure), but I should be up tomorrow, because I will get two 40 gb hard drives today.07:47
LaserJockman that stinks, is your brother going to pay for it?07:48
theCoreno, the hard drive would have failed anyway, and it was only 10 years old 10gb hard drive, so it isn't a big lost07:50
LaserJockjpatrick: ok, it's in. For future reference you need to have a <para> inside <note> ;-)07:50
theCoreLaserJock: Plus, I will the both 40gb hard drive for free07:51
LaserJocktheCore: oh, that's nice07:53

LaserJockSo your writing it in OO?08:50
Burgworkactually, I am writing in gedit08:51
Burgworkthen I import that raw text to OO and theme it08:52
Burgworkas I don't trust OO.o to be stable enough08:52
LaserJockahh, interesting. I would have thought it would be done in latex08:52
Burgworklatex is way to geeky08:53
Burgworkthis is not being published by oreilly08:53
LaserJockoh, us scientists use latex for everything08:53

jjesseor kubuntu :)08:59
jjesseBurgwork: yeah it was the same for my one chapter08:59
Burgworkare you done?09:00
jjessei gave chris my second draft09:00
LaserJockBurgwork: hmm, I'm looking forward to seeing it. will it have to be redone for each release or is it general enough that it will only be written once?09:00
BurgworkLaserJock, if it sells, it could be redone for each release09:00
Burgworkit is very much up in the air right now09:00
LaserJockso who is going to publish/distribute it?09:01
jjesseit was pretty much all i did for two weeks each night09:01
BurgworkLaserJock, Prentice Hall09:02
LaserJockBurgwork: nice, it would be cool to have a PayPal button or something on the Ubuntu website.09:03
BurgworkLaserJock, to do what, donate?09:03
LaserJockwell, I guess buy the book, but maybe something like "For a donation of $ or more you get the Ubuntu Book"09:04
jjesseinstead of buying it through amazon?09:05
