godbykMake sure that you run 'make' first so you know you haven't introduced any syntax errors, though.01:13

Captainkrtekgodbyk, question, when making the pdf I get these messages06:10
Captainkrtek Overfull \hbox (4.16705pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 132--13306:10
Captainkrtek\EU1/LinuxLibertineO(0)/m/n/10 Ask Ubuntu is a free community driven Question a06:11
Captainkrteknd Answer website for Ubuntu06:11
godbykThose are okay.06:11
Captainkrtekokay06:11
Captainkrtekgodbyk, any sections that need more attention?06:13
godbykCaptainkrtek: I think it's pretty much hit and miss.06:48
Captainkrtekgodbyk, just submitted my first commit :)06:48
Captainkrtekalthough I need to re-commit, found one typo :P06:48
Captainkrtekhttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual/ubuntu-manual/maverick/revision/12106:48
Captainkrteksee 122 as well06:49
godbykIn r121 I think that "slowly and methodically" was better as it was (before your change).06:51
Captainkrtekokay06:52
Captainkrtekfeel free to change it06:52
godbykAlso, quotation marks in LaTeX are like ``this'' not "this".06:52
godbykI wouldn't use quotes around 'clean', either. It's kind of odd.06:52
Captainkrtekokay06:52
godbykI'd have to look at the context for your mention of VLC, but in general, we try to focus on the default applications.06:54
godbykOtherwise, your edits look pretty good so far.06:54
CaptainkrtekI saw VLC mentioned somewhere else06:54
Captainkrtekcheck the index06:54
Captainkrtekpage 107 I think06:54
godbykYeah, I know it's mentioned elsewhere. That's why I said I'd have to look at the context.06:54
Captainkrtekyeah06:54
Captainkrtekwe mention VLC in the Ubuntu Docs06:54
godbyk(The diff I'm looking at doesn't provide enough context to make a judgment.)06:55
Captainkrtekcause it supports so many codecs06:55
Captainkrtekk06:55
Captainkrtekgodbyk, Ill try to make my edits better next time06:56
godbykCaptainkrtek: No worries. Just some constructive criticism. It takes a while to learn the LaTeX syntax and get a feel for the style and voice we're trying to achieve.06:57
Captainkrtekgodbyk, exactly, I appreciate the support, feel free to remove all my changes if you wish ;-)06:58
CaptainkrtekI'm off to bed, thanks godbyk07:07
godbykG'night, Captainkrtek.07:09
=== daker_ is now known as daker
issyl0You'll notice now in commits that I'm no longer "issyl0", but my full name.18:22
issyl0:-)18:22
=== daker is now known as daker_
godbykissyl0: Cool.19:13
issyl0I thought that'd be easier.19:14
godbykProbably.  Also, thanks for adding your full name to the credits.  I don't think Chris knew what your last name was when he added you.19:17
issyl0That's fine.  :-)19:44
issyl0Probably because in the past I'd hidden it due to paranoia.  :P19:45
issyl0I've given up now.19:45
thorwiljust because you give up on paranoia doesn't mean they are not after you!19:55
