tycheFortunately, it's a copy and paste.16:11
johnc4510cool16:12

johnc4510tyche: kennymc0 what are you two working on so i don't step on you16:30
tycheI believe he said he was re-vamping.  But I don't see anything more than what he'd done for bugjam.  So I'm not sure what's happening.16:30

johnc4510-laptopk16:59
tychejohnc4510-laptop: just as a suggestion, not really a complaint.  When you put a parenthetical expression after a link, please put a space between them.  Otherwise the wiki thinks that it's part of the link.17:08
johnc4510-laptopnot sure where i did that17:09
tycheI've already gotten beyond that.  But it WAS a bit of a problem until I realized what had happened.  LOL17:12

myrtlebeachbumsOkay guys - my ITP write ups are in. What else would you like me to work on?18:07
johnc4510-laptopproof please18:08
johnc4510-laptop:)18:08
johnc4510-laptopthx18:08
myrtlebeachbumsWill do!18:08
johnc4510-laptopthx18:09
johnc4510-laptopmyrtlebeachbums: i'm down thru brainstorm18:10
myrtlebeachbumsOkay.18:10
johnc4510-laptopstart at loco news18:10
myrtlebeachbumsWill do18:10
johnc4510-laptopthx18:11
myrtlebeachbumsWow on the first loco news story. I wish someone would do that locally so I could attend.18:12
myrtlebeachbumsQuestion on the last line of the Chicago article: ....and one team member really saw the meaning of what the Ubuntu Community is all about.18:13
myrtlebeachbumsThat sounds like a lot of resources for one guy to "get it".18:13
myrtlebeachbumsWould sound better as "and team members really saw the meaning of what the Ubuntu Community is all about."18:13
johnc4510-laptopgood you can change that18:14
myrtlebeachbumsI'm a whiz at creating more work for myself. ;)18:14
tychejohnc4510-laptop: Let me know when you're out, and I'll toss in the Glossary18:17
myrtlebeachbumstyche - while you're in can you modify where the links are for my ITP's?18:18
myrtlebeachbumsI see yours have no white space between the end of the article and the link.18:18
tycheThen maybe MINE need to be modified.18:19
myrtlebeachbumsLooks like the style you used is the preferred one now. It was that way in UWN 130.18:20
myrtlebeachbums...but if you'd like to go through back issues and correct yourself, by all means feel free. ;)18:20
tycheI see them both ways.18:20
myrtlebeachbumsWe should aim for consistency though. johnc4510-laptop: do you feel strongly one way or another?18:21
johnc4510-laptopok, i had the final results of gbj stats save on my box, and i posted them in place of the reg. 5-a-day18:21
tycheOK, I'm out.18:25
myrtlebeachbumsI *SWEAR* we did the "Netbook Nightmare" story before. I remember writing it up, but I can't find it in any of the recent UWN's.18:28
johnc4510-laptopgive me the link and let me look18:29
johnc4510-laptopplease18:29
myrtlebeachbumshttp://broadcast.oreilly.com/2009/02/netbook-nightmare-my-experienc.html18:29
tycheI don't remember it.18:29
myrtlebeachbumsI'm looking for Sylvania in all of the UWN's, and the only hit I get is from UWN123 where I did a write up on the new notebooks coming out.18:30
johnc4510-laptopnope, we do very little form oreilly18:30
myrtlebeachbumsI wish I could find the article I'm talking about because I'd like to think that I'm not doing UWN ITP write ups in my dreams.18:30
myrtlebeachbumskennymc0 - Ubuntu runs one of every 3 Dell Netbooks sold: Who's Mr. Pinkert? If his full name is listed I'd put it in as "Joe Blow, Dell's Director of Marketing, announced..."18:34
myrtlebeachbumsJust anal-retentive constructive criticism. :)18:34
myrtlebeachbumsQ for everyone - it's generally accepted as OpenOffice, not Open Office, right?18:35
johnc4510-laptopyes18:36
tycheTechnically, it's OpenOffice.org.  They had a problem with another app that had the name Open Office, so they used the URL name.18:36
myrtlebeachbumsOkay. I'll change it to that.18:37
johnc4510-laptopbut if you put it in that way do this please Open``Office18:37
johnc4510-laptopotherwise it'll be a hot link18:37
myrtlebeachbumsI've not missed a camel back this issue, so I'll try not to start now. ha ha18:37
johnc4510-laptop:)18:37
myrtlebeachbumsjohnc4510-laptop - please let me know when you're out.18:40

myrtlebeachbumsThanks18:41
johnc4510-laptop:)18:41
myrtlebeachbumsOkay, all the Open Office have been changed to Open``Office.org and one other minor typo fixed.18:42
johnc4510-laptopthx18:43
myrtlebeachbumsCan I assume that "Whe participate" should be "We participate" under the Columbian Team write up?18:50
johnc4510-laptopprobably18:51
johnc4510-laptopgo ahead and fix it18:51
myrtlebeachbumsDone, and fixed some more stray camel backs.18:52
johnc4510-laptopcool18:52
myrtlebeachbumsIt's comforting to see that I'm not the only one who fat fingers it as netowrk. ;) fixing.18:55
johnc4510-laptopsure18:55
myrtlebeachbumsOkay. My proofing is done. I think I got everything.18:56
