[12:27] <Burglaptop> ok, it is cold in my house. We ran out of oil last week and have been too cheap to buy more, so I can see my breath inside
[12:28] <LaserJock> ughh
[12:28] <LaserJock> not fun
[12:29] <Burglaptop> oh, I saw a funny poster downtown the other day
[12:30] <Burglaptop> it was the bsd daemon, the OO.o bird and the Tux, with hammers in their hand
[12:30] <Burglaptop> it was advertising some djs
[12:37] <LaserJock> hi Madpilot 
[12:37] <Madpilot> hi LaserJock 
[01:23] <Burglaptop> HULK SMASH!!!
[01:23] <Burglaptop> bloody OO.o

[01:24] <crimsun> Burglaptop: (I don't mean to step on your toes in #edubuntu)
[01:24] <Burglaptop> it won't import the bloody template
[01:24] <Burglaptop> crimsun: np
[03:25] <LaserJock> hi jsgotangco

[04:43] <Burglaptop> bhuvan: who is the writing coming?
[04:44] <bhuvan> Burglaptop: ?
[04:46] <Burglaptop> bhuvan: are you not writing a server chapter?
[04:47] <bhuvan> Burglaptop: did you mean for ubuntu book ?
[04:47] <Burglaptop> yep
[04:47] <bhuvan> nope, i didnt receive any intimation to do so
[04:51] <jsgotangco> hmm
[04:53] <Burglaptop> bhuvan: hmm, I had thought you had
[04:54] <bhuvan> Burglaptop: ok. check and confirm if i should prepare the document
[05:00] <Burglaptop> bhuvan: hmm, deadline is tomorrow. I will chat with the publisher tomorrow
[05:01] <bhuvan> oh :)
[08:15] <Madpilot> hi robitaille 
[08:16] <robitaille> hi Madpilot 
[08:25] <Burglaptop> salut robitaille
[08:25] <robitaille> hello Burglaptop 
[08:27] <Madpilot> Burglaptop, how's the book going?
[08:36] <Burglaptop> Madpilot: grinding along
[11:09] <Madpilot> hmm?
[11:21] <bhuvan> Madpilot, last ubuntu-doc dapper update was on feb 03 2006
[11:22] <Madpilot> last package build or whatever? I think mdke_ is in charge of bothering the packaging folks, isn't he?
[11:22] <bhuvan> may be
[11:22] <Madpilot> mail the list, I guess
[11:25] <bhuvan> i'll check with mdke_ before sending an email
[11:55] <bhuvan> whats the kde version used in dapper kubuntu ?
[06:28] <LaserJock> jjesse_lunch: I'm going to apply jpatrick's diff after I tweak a couple of items, ok
[06:36] <jjesse> LaserJock: that's cool w/ me
[06:37] <LaserJock> jjesse: thanks
[07:30] <LaserJock> hi theCore 
[07:39] <jpatrick> LaserJock: svn up does nothing
[07:43] <LaserJock> jpatrick: hmm?
[07:43] <jpatrick> it's not updated
[07:43] <LaserJock> yeah, I know
[07:44] <theCore> oh, hello LaserJock
[07:47] <theCore> I'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.
[07:48] <LaserJock> man that stinks, is your brother going to pay for it?
[07:50] <theCore> no, the hard drive would have failed anyway, and it was only 10 years old 10gb hard drive, so it isn't a big lost
[07:50] <LaserJock> jpatrick: ok, it's in. For future reference you need to have a <para> inside <note> ;-)
[07:51] <theCore> LaserJock: Plus, I will the both 40gb hard drive for free
[07:53] <LaserJock> theCore: oh, that's nice
[08:43] <Burgwork> talk people!
[08:44] <theCore> blah
[08:45] <LaserJock> hi Burgwork, how's it going?
[08:46] <Burgwork> good
[08:46] <LaserJock> got the book done?
[08:46] <Burgwork> hah
[08:46] <LaserJock> I take it that means "no" ;-)
[08:47] <Burgwork> I fought with oo.o to take a template last night, that was the major sticking point
[08:50] <LaserJock> So your writing it in OO?
[08:51] <Burgwork> actually, I am writing in gedit
[08:52] <Burgwork> then I import that raw text to OO and theme it
[08:52] <Burgwork> as I don't trust OO.o to be stable enough
[08:52] <LaserJock> ahh, interesting. I would have thought it would be done in latex
[08:53] <Burgwork> latex is way to geeky
[08:53] <Burgwork> this is not being published by oreilly
[08:53] <LaserJock> oh, us scientists use latex for everything
[08:56] <jjesse> how many chapters are you doing burgwork?
[08:57] <Burgwork> jjesse, three plus one appendix
[08:58] <jjesse> Burgwork: ouch
[08:58] <LaserJock> what is the intended audience? Windows user wanting to switch?
[08:58] <Burgwork> LaserJock, anybody who wants to learn more about Ubuntu
[08:59] <Burgwork> jjesse, been a lot more work than I imagined
[08:59] <jjesse> or kubuntu :)
[08:59] <jjesse> Burgwork: yeah it was the same for my one chapter
[09:00] <Burgwork> are you done?
[09:00] <jjesse> i gave chris my second draft
[09:00] <LaserJock> Burgwork: 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] <Burgwork> LaserJock, if it sells, it could be redone for each release
[09:00] <Burgwork> it is very much up in the air right now
[09:01] <LaserJock> so who is going to publish/distribute it?
[09:01] <jjesse> it was pretty much all i did for two weeks each night
[09:02] <Burgwork> LaserJock, Prentice Hall
[09:03] <LaserJock> Burgwork: nice, it would be cool to have a PayPal button or something on the Ubuntu website.
[09:03] <Burgwork> LaserJock, to do what, donate?
[09:04] <LaserJock> well, I guess buy the book, but maybe something like "For a donation of $ or more you get the Ubuntu Book"
[09:05] <jjesse> instead of buying it through amazon?
[09:08] <LaserJock> jjesse: well, I would think both but it would be nice to play it up well on ubuntu.com
[09:10] <LaserJock> I'm sure it is all planned, I just wonder how it is going to be done
[09:11] <Burgwork> there are plans to get good community feedback
[10:54] <LaserJock> hi Madpilot 
[10:54] <Madpilot> hi
[10:55] <Burgwork> salut Madpilot 
[10:55] <Burgwork> Madpilot, I had a good conversation with John at ReStore today
[10:55] <Burgwork> he was much better to chat to in person than on on the phone
[10:55] <Madpilot> it's always easier to blow someone off over the phone...
[10:56] <Burgwork> plus I spoke with Project Literacy Victoria
[10:57] <Madpilot> get them onside for training?
[10:58] <Burgwork> going to chat with their computer person tomorrow, but yes, that is the plan
[10:58] <Madpilot> cool
[11:45] <ompaul> Burgwork, Me = finished, there is more that could be done, poke me with suggestions in a mail I am going to listen to music for a while - wiki.ubuntu.com/website/FAQ
[11:45] <Burgwork> ompaul, ok
[11:46] <Burgwork> Madpilot, you want to have a go at the above?
[11:46] <ompaul> Burgwork, I would need advice on aim here or poke there
[11:46] <Burgwork> ompaul, sorry, don't follow?
[11:47] <ompaul> Burgwork, if anyone wants anything in particular there they can add it, or if they are busy say it to me and I'll do it 
[11:47] <Burgwork> ok
[11:48] <ompaul> I hope it ain't too butchered :)
