| mdke | kirkland: that's pretty cool. funnily enough we've recently been working on something similar. I'll email you to discuss | 08:00 |
|---|---|---|
| mdke | hi glatzor | 08:20 |
| mdke | glatzor: I noticed there are not many german translations in ubuntu-docs this cycle - is there a shortage of contributors in the de translation team? I'm surprised because it's a large community, and a lot of the other languages have made really good progress | 08:23 |
| mdke | glatzor: let's chat another time about it, I have to go to work now | 08:43 |
| kirkland | mdke: hiya | 15:08 |
| kirkland | mdke: I responded to your email, with a bit more background on my efforts with this | 15:08 |
| kirkland | mdke: the net is that I'm happy to collaborate, and I didn't know you guys existed :-) | 15:19 |
| mdke | kirkland: :) welcome and thanks | 20:12 |
| kirkland | mdke: sure, no problem | 20:15 |
| kirkland | mdke: I was looking for a way to join the doc team on Launchpad | 20:15 |
| kirkland | I don't see a "Apply" link as i thought I might | 20:15 |
| kirkland | mdke: I'm going to capture the highlights of my design ideas in a Blueprint, and we can refine/collaborate on those as appropriate | 20:16 |
| mdke | kirkland: ubuntu-doc on LP is an umbrella team for a number of other subteams, so we don't add individuals to that; however you might be interested in one of the subteams | 20:17 |
| mdke | kirkland: blueprint sounds great | 20:17 |
| kirkland | mdke: gotcha, i'll have a look at those | 20:17 |
| kirkland | mdke: I'll send you a followup note pointing to the blueprint when I get around to it | 20:18 |
| kirkland | mdke: ISO testing is hot and heavy right now ;-) | 20:18 |
| mdke | kirkland: many thanks | 20:18 |
| kirkland | mdke: you bet. | 20:18 |
| kirkland | mdke: so you're the leader of the documentation posse, I take it? | 20:18 |
| kirkland | :-) | 20:18 |
| mdke | kirkland: we don't really have a "leader" | 20:19 |
| kirkland | :-P | 20:19 |
| mdke | bbiab, dinner has arrived | 20:20 |
| kirkland | mdke: well, I was pointed to you | 20:20 |
| kirkland | later | 20:20 |
| mdke | kirkland: I guess I'm the person who bosses others around more than anyone else | 20:43 |
| kirkland | mdke: I just ran across your blog, saw you were having trouble with at t43 and hard disk detection... is this still a problem? | 20:44 |
| kirkland | mdke: see the footnote in http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T43 | 20:45 |
| kirkland | "While the physical disk is PATA (IDE), it is accessed through a SATA controller and a SATA-to-PATA bridge. It thus appears as a SATA device to the operating system, which causes some problems under Linux. The SATA-to-PATA bridge also necessitates drive firmware changes, causing a problem with non-ThinkPad hard disks. " | 20:45 |
| mdke | kirkland: I still have it, but I'm pretty sure now it's a hardware issue, because it always used to work, and often when I cold boot, Windows won't start unless I reboot the system after a "no hard disk found" error | 20:47 |
| mdke | kirkland: I'm going to send the laptop back as soon as I get around to it | 20:47 |
| kirkland | mdke: yuck, that's a mess | 20:48 |
| mdke | kirkland: still in warranty :) | 20:48 |
| kirkland | mdke: well there you go | 20:49 |
| mdke | kirkland: thanks anyway | 20:49 |
| kirkland | mdke: I've only ever owned Thinkpads, but I've owned a lot of them, and I swear by them, and especially their warranty | 20:50 |
| mdke | kirkland: this one has been pretty flawless. | 20:50 |
