[00:55] <rledge21> would anyone know where I could learn more about making a desktop applet?
[00:56] <posingaspopular> making?
[00:56] <posingaspopular> you might want to ask in #ubuntu-devel for that one
[00:56] <rledge21> okay, thanks
[00:57] <kgoetz> i'd suggest a channel for <your desktop environment>
[00:57] <rledge21> gnome it is
[00:58] <kgoetz>  /server irc.gnome.org would be the place to look :)
[00:59] <rledge21> thanks :)
[01:35] <j1mc> i can assign colors to my gmail tags now.  man, gmail keeps coming up with new stuff.
[01:35] <j1mc> oops - wrong channel. :)
[01:38] <posingaspopular> smooth j1mc
[01:45]  * oldmanstan beats j1mc with a sock full of ping pong balls
[01:57] <somerville32> :]
[01:57] <somerville32> The new version is _way_ too slow for my old beast
[02:07] <j1mc> oldmanstan: you there?
[02:08] <oldmanstan> no
[02:08] <oldmanstan> wait, yes i am
[02:08] <j1mc> can i email you an xml doc file for you to see if it validates on your computer?
[02:08] <oldmanstan> sure thing
[02:08] <j1mc> i tried a ulink insteal of an xref to fix a validation issue - it works on my computer, but i want to make sure it works on someone else's.
[02:09] <j1mc> i don't want my directory structure to be something messes things up.
[02:09] <oldmanstan> go fo it
[02:12] <j1mc> sent.  thanks, george.
[02:15] <oldmanstan> hmm
[02:16] <oldmanstan> i get a bunch of external entity errors
[02:16] <j1mc> really??
[02:16] <oldmanstan> but it's not in the right place in the tree so that's prolly why
[02:16] <j1mc> on what lines.
[02:16] <j1mc> what is not in the right place in the tree?
[02:17] <oldmanstan> lines 1 and 5, so yeah, it's prolly cuz i didn't stick it in the tree structure
[02:17] <oldmanstan> i just put it in a random directory and validated it
[02:17] <j1mc> ah, ok.
[02:17] <j1mc> /xubuntu/switching/C/installing.xml
[02:18] <j1mc> i don't think that the validator actually validates a ulink.
[02:18] <j1mc> after all, for it to do so, it would have to go out to a website to make sure the website were there.
[02:19] <j1mc> so as long as the ulink is correct in syntax, it will validate.  (i think)
[02:19] <oldmanstan> yep, stuck it in the right place and it validates peachy
[02:20] <j1mc> ok.  i'll load it into yelp, and see if clicking on the link brings me to the dualboot page.
[02:20] <j1mc> if it doesn't, then i'll have to fix stuff.  otherwise, i should be ok.  thanks, oldmanstan
[02:20] <oldmanstan> no prob
[02:20] <oldmanstan> glad to see somebody getting stuff done :)
[02:21] <j1mc> :)
[02:27] <j1mc> i think i'm going to send a note out to the doc list about this one.
[02:28] <j1mc> i can't get the link to work.
[02:28] <oldmanstan> weird, does it work but not connect? or just totally not work?
[02:30] <j1mc> it says the uri is invalid, even though the path is valid.
[02:30] <j1mc> (i've modified it since i sent it to you)
[02:30] <oldmanstan> strange
[08:43] <mdke> sommer: re your conversation with nixternal about help links, yelp uses 'type="help" url="ghelp:docname#section"'
[13:36] <sommer> mdke: thanks it makes sense now.
[14:51] <sommer> mdke: okay... Now I think I get it.  thanks again
[20:22] <bogey-> what what up, bogey in da house!>!>
[21:32] <sommer> mdke: I brought up updating doc.u.c at the server meeting... didn't get much love though
[21:32] <sommer> mdke: just an fyi... thanks for your help with that.
[22:52] <mdke> sommer: cheers, every little helps. I'm stressing the sysadmins
[22:53] <mdke> sommer: do you want to investigate the question of how to convert docbook to txt or man/info pages for the serverguide? I looked into it and found that it's not as easy as I thought
[22:53] <mdke> sommer: about the best way was to generate html and then run it through "lynx -dump" to get a text file, but it's pretty ugly
[22:54] <mdke> sommer: there are various docbook2man tools around but I didn't succeed in getting to grips with why they didn't work
[22:55]  * mdke drifts off again
