myrtlebeachbumsI can take the first two or all three. Same kind of write up as ITP/ITB right?17:22
tycheYep.  Pretty much.  You tell me how much you want to tackle, and which ones (as applicable) and I'll do whatever you don't cover.17:23

tychekk17:44
myrtlebeachbumsLaunchpad News pasted in and ready for review.17:46
tychejohnc4510: I hate to suggest this, but I think you need <<BR>> between the end of the lines, and the division between the launchpad links and the wiki links.17:46
tycheWant me to get them?17:47
johnc4510let me look17:47
johnc4510tyche: do the first one and let me look at it17:47

johnc4510lol17:47
tychekk.  Standby17:48
tycheOK, first one, with just the break between the links, and with the two links indented.  To get a l/f between the text and the links would take another <<BR>>17:50
johnc4510tyche: not bad bud i like it the other way better17:51
johnc4510it's the way we've always done it sorry17:51
tycheYou like them inline, like that?17:51

tycheI see that.18:08
tycheWorking on them.18:08
johnc4510k18:08
johnc4510updates and security look correct18:09
myrtlebeachbumsIf anyone's going in editing soon, this just doesn't read right to me. Under Brainstorn:18:11
myrtlebeachbumsModify the linux for capturing the gaming market.18:11
johnc4510i'm just looking at that18:12
johnc4510either the list changed or it was put in wrong18:13
johnc4510i show different top 5 for the wk18:13
johnc4510myrtlebeachbums: can you go in and update that please?18:14
myrtlebeachbumsSure18:14
johnc4510k18:14
johnc4510thx18:14
tycheAnyone know what MIR is, with respect to Linux (particularly the wakeonlan package?)18:14
tycheAll I come up with in Google is the Mir space station.18:15
johnc4510lol18:16
johnc4510let me look18:16
myrtlebeachbumsDone18:18
tycheit's in the Server Team Meeting, near the bottom.  The only close definition I come up with is Maximum Information Rate.  That doesn't seem to fit wakeonlan, either.18:18
johnc4510tyche: does this definition make sense? http://linux.about.com/cs/linux101/g/mir.htm18:18
tycheIt might, if someone wanted to define the definition that I don't understand.  Hee hee18:19
tycheAs I understand it, registers are things that are addressed in assembler language, as they are part of the processor chip.  That would be an extremely low-level programming.18:20
johnc4510tyche: ok, since we don't know, leave it out of the glossary18:21
tychekk18:21
johnc4510i'd rather have someone ask than to put the wrong thing in18:21
johnc4510:)18:21
tycheYep.  Then, if someone asks, maybe someone else will answer, and I can add it to the Glossary page.18:22
tycheFor future reference.18:22
tycheIt's up to 56 terms, so far.18:23
tycheAnd all set up for copy and paste.18:23
johnc4510nice18:23
tycheAnd 12 terms in this weeks UWN18:24
johnc4510:)18:26
johnc4510tyche: myrtlebeachbums have we done any proofing yet?18:26
tycheYes, I did as I scanned down for Glossary terms.18:28
tycheSOP for me.18:28
johnc4510k18:29
