mdkeit's nice to keep good company12:04
Burgworklol12:05
Burgworkwell, the first premier of BC was called Amor de Cosmos12:05
mdkeCanada sounds like a great place12:06
LaserJockmdke: it full of fruits and the rejects from America. Sort of like Australia and the UK ;-)12:07
mdkeare they good at sport?12:07
LaserJockonly cold ones12:07
BurgworkLaserJock, we prefer the term "Liberal"12:08
mdkeice hockey isn't a sport12:08
mdkeit's just fighting12:08
Burgworkit is not a dirty word here12:08
LaserJockBurgwork: hehe. better watch out, I'm from solidly Red states :-)12:10
LaserJockmdke: and fighting isn't a sport?12:10
mdkenah12:11
LaserJockwell, hockey does seem like just a reason to skate around and knock each others teeth out12:12
BurgworkLaserJock, funny, red is the colour of the Liberal party here. Blue is the colour of the Conservatives12:12
=== mdke shudders at the liberals
LaserJockBurgwork: yes, very weird. Red is also used a lot for communist countries. I don't know why we got stuck with red12:12
Burgworkmdke, neither the liberals or the conservatives are very friendly to the needs of open content and open source12:13
mdkeBurgwork: you need to become a politician12:15
Burgworkmdke, you are not the only person to tell me that12:15

mdkedid I say that?12:16
mdke>_>12:16
mdke<_<12:16
LaserJockMost of the time that isn't exactly a compliment around here :-)12:16
LaserJockI'm fascinated by the ability of politicians to do nothing other than keep their position and power12:18
LaserJockit's like actually doing something or standing for something automatically means they lose12:19
mdkeours just bugger stuff up and then switch jobs12:20

jsgotangcoWhy does About Ubuntu have 2 copyrights?05:54
mdkewhoosh05:54
mdkewell spotted05:54
mdkeno idea how that happened05:55
jsgotangcoyeah Dean Sas has its own copyright05:55
mdkethe version in the repo is ok.05:56
mdkehow odd05:56
jsgotangcothis is a fresh flight 705:57
mdkeand opening the file with yelp normally is also ok.05:58
mdkejsgotangco: are you on en_GB?05:58
mdkedsas appears to have claimed copyright for himself in the en_GB version05:59
mdke;)05:59
=== dsas doesn't know how that has happened.
mdkedid you translate about-ubuntu to en_GB?06:00
dsasYeah, sure did.06:00
mdkehmm06:02
jsgotangcomdke: yeah06:03
jsgotangcoi guess that's the reason06:03
mdkeit must have taken it from translator-credits06:03
jsgotangcointeresting behavior06:03
jsgotangcoyeah i'm on en_GB06:03
mdkeit hasn't done it for italian though06:04

dsasSurely it should go to ubuntu-l10n-en-gb if anyone.06:04
jsgotangcothat explains it, didn't expect an en_GB translation :D06:04
mdkeah, it's done it for korean06:04
mdkedsas: you have to put that in translator-credits then. You put your name/email address in06:04
jsgotangcodsas: no offense, meant, it was just odd behavior on how it rendered after translation06:04
jsgotangcomdke: perhaps this is normal behavior06:05
mdkeyeah, it's not a problem. But I always think it's better to have translator-credits as the translator team, rather than an individual06:05
jsgotangcothat's true, its a rosetta issue06:06
jsgotangcoor rather the pot?06:06
dsasI'll put it over to the ubuntu-l10n-en-gb team, I think that's instep with what others have done, and looks tidier than a long list of people.06:06
jsgotangcoi think it only defaults to the first person who added it06:06
mdkejsgotangco: it's up to the translator to decide what to do.06:06
mdkemaybe a default to the team would be nice06:10
dsasI imagine things getting messy unless people do, do that. I wonder how it handles upstream translations.06:12
jsgotangcociao06:34
dsasHmm, it appears that the exploit I discovered when translating about-ubuntu which let you translate without being in a team has been fixed.06:35
dsasSo I'll have get membership of the group to change it.06:36
klepasin CSS, margin: 0 0 0 5px; implies a 5px marginal indent from which side?06:40
klepasgoing inwards north, east, south or west...?06:40
dsasI think it's top, bottom, left, right.06:44

=== klepas grumbles... why could they not follow the compass in a clockwise direction
=== lakin [n=lakin@S01060013101832ce.cg.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
dsasIt makes doing margin: 0 0 for giving top+bottom 0 and left+right 0, slightly more sense I think.06:47
klepaswhat exactly is the difference between padding and margins...?06:50
dsasmargins are outside the imaginary box and padding is inside it.06:51
dsashttp://www.brainjar.com/css/positioning/default.asp06:52
dsaspadding will make the boxes background grow outside 06:53
klepascheers06:54
dsaswhoops, didn't mean to press enter... Padding makes the boxes background (or whatever) grow bigger/smaller, whilst a margin will push it away from other boxes without carrying on it's effect.06:54
dsasif that makes sense :/06:54
klepasyea, it does06:55
klepasmhh06:55
klepasgiven something like blockquote, code, h1 and so forth06:55
klepaswhat is 'select'?06:55

=== mpt [n=mpt@203-109-236-140.bliink.ihug.co.nz] has joined #ubuntu-doc
dsasIt'd be a pseudo class, but I'm not sure there is a pseudo class called attribute.07:01
dsassorry, pseudo class called select07:01
