dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, hi there :D18:11
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, do you have some time to push my website patch or should we wait until mdke finds more time18:12
Rocket2DMndhillon-v10, you are talking about bug 381650 right?18:22
ubot4Launchpad bug 381650 in ubuntu-docs "help.ubuntu.com does not tell you how to determine which version you have" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/38165018:22
Rocket2DMnI'm not really qualified to decide if that should be pushed18:23
Rocket2DMnThough, looking at your script I could provide a few suggestions which aren't that important18:24
Rocket2DMnfor instance, you did if { } else { if {} else {} }18:24
Rocket2DMnthere is no need to embedded more if/else statements in the first else clause18:24
Rocket2DMnyou could do if/ else if/ else18:24
Rocket2DMnalso, you sentences should end with a period18:25
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, alright thanks for that :) I will change that and then there are some other ones that i did as well, but i haven't added the patches to the bug report so I'll go ahead and do that as well18:29
Rocket2DMndhillon-v10, bug 460365 is on my to-do list of items to talk to mdke about18:29
ubot4Launchpad bug 460365 in ubuntu-translations "Create a separate license document and include it in all documents" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/46036518:29
Rocket2DMnright now i'm mostly concerned about getting fixes in for the main system docs, and also for community doc pages18:29
Rocket2DMnactually for 460365, i don't think that is an ubuntu-docs bug18:30
Rocket2DMni'll start emailing matthew about some of these bugs on my list since i haven't been able to get ahold of him on irc for quite some time18:30
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, alright I'll try emailing him too and sorry for the delay, cleaning my room which is a big pain18:53
Rocket2DMndhillon-v10, i have both those bugs on my list18:54
starcraftmandhillon-v10: bah, if anyone asks just say your obeying the natural tendencies of the universe to descend into chaos.18:55
Rocket2DMnyou don't need to email him, i can take care of it18:55
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, alright thanks18:55
starcraftmanI was referring to room mess btw :)18:55
dhillon-v10starcraftman, lol yah that makes sense18:55
dhillon-v10starcraftman, entropy of my room18:55
starcraftmandhillon-v10: of course it does, second law of thermodynamics is gold.18:56
starcraftmanUnless someone who complains can offer a contradiction of it, or a proposition for fighting the way the universe works :)18:56
dhillon-v10starcraftman, someone might actually come up with that, i was reading this paper the other day: Our universe without any thermodynamics that sounds strange18:57
starcraftmandhillon-v10: a the minute it stops, I'm asking the universe to stop so I can get off before it kerplodes.18:58
dhillon-v10starcraftman, :) hey can you have a quick look here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/492942 what applications besides pidgin, gimp should go here, just give me like a brain-dump18:59
ubot4Launchpad bug 492942 in ubuntu-docs "Listing non-default applications in "Ubuntu Equivalents to Windows Applications"" [Low,In progress]18:59
starcraftmanoh noez, asking me to brain-dump.19:00
starcraftmanbut I need.... brain!19:00
dhillon-v10starcraftman, oh and F-Spot is being removed as well19:00
dhillon-v10starcraftman, lol19:00
starcraftmanbah, they list totem.19:01
starcraftmanVLC should be made default...19:01
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, starcraftman: ever thought of taking over the world19:01
starcraftmanWe need a petition.19:01
dhillon-v10starcraftman, agreed, VLC is the best19:01
starcraftmandhillon-v10: yes, but then I realized I'd have to get an army and money and then lazyness took over.19:02
dhillon-v10starcraftman, nice :) the getting an army part requires a lot of work, if someone did that for me then that would be great19:03
starcraftmandhillon-v10: not just get an army, they gotta be fed and clothed and keep em happy or else coup.19:03
starcraftmantoo much work.19:06
starcraftmanOne day we need to just make a hacker revolution, would be easier, take over worlds most essential computers and make an AI we control :)19:07
Rocket2DMnskynet19:08
starcraftmanRocket2DMn: no, that got out of control.19:08
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, lol skynet19:08
starcraftmanWe need something stupid enough not to overthrow us.19:08
starcraftmanOr make terminators and time travel.19:08
dhillon-v10starcraftman, we could make a stupid version of skynet, one that only takes commands19:09
starcraftmandhillon-v10: oh and on that page they say windows equivalent to firefox is ie, it has a win version ya know. And I'd hardly call em equivalent. I'm biased I guess.19:12
starcraftmanI'm in favor of more options rather than just default.19:12
starcraftmanBut might get a bit big.19:13
dhillon-v10starcraftman, what I am going to do is something like Ubuntu Installed and Featured apps and then put them under each category19:13
starcraftmanalso, it doesn't mention nautilus or brasero19:13
dhillon-v10starcraftman, alright so how many apps in total do you think I should mention like 10 for Ubuntu installed and about the same for featured ?19:14
starcraftmanI don't think it needs a hard number, I'd mention the important ones. an explorer and cd burner I think pretty important.19:15
dhillon-v10starcraftman, yup, alright so adding those in, thanks a bunch19:15
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, another patch coming up :D19:15

ubot4Launchpad bug 492942 in ubuntu-docs "Listing non-default applications in "Ubuntu Equivalents to Windows Applications"" [Low,In progress]19:31
