newz2000hey, will be on a bit later, sorry missed you03:07
newz2000So I've closed 2 dozen bugs but for the most part they've been obsolete16:54
newz2000I'm afraid that soon I'm going to have to actually do some work to close them16:54
=== Turl1 is now known as Turl
alitabuger7newz2000: How long is it going to take rt@ubuntu.com to even acknowledge the email about SpreadUbuntu. It's been over a week now. Are they considering it? Did they get it? What's going on?20:38
newz2000alitabuger7: hi, I don't have a good answer for you because I'm not certain of who hadnles that. Let me see if I can get you an answer, do you happen to have the RT number?20:39
leftyfbnewz2000: what ever happened to getting spreadubuntu.org to the spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org website?20:39
newz2000leftyfb: I think that's what alitabuger7 is referring to. It is in the hands of someone else but I will see if I can find any information.20:40
leftyfbi just got here, wasn't aware of it being discussed already :)20:40
leftyfbI came up with the original idea back in March and came here to request it in April .. bad timing since everyone was busy with the Jaunty release20:41
newz2000I remember. :-)20:42
newz2000I think it's a good idea personally.20:42
alitabuger7I run that website, so that's why I'm asking. I did not get a number. I sent an email to rt@ubuntu.com, like you asked me to. I have not gotten any feedback on that yet.20:44
newz2000oh, you didn't get an auto reply? Hmm20:46
leftyfbalitabuger7: hi there. I thought your site was great and deserved the unutilized domain name20:46
alitabuger7nothing20:46
leftyfbso I took it upon myself to request it back in April20:46
newz2000alitabuger7: can you give me your email address you used? (you can /msg me if you prefer to keep it private)20:46
alitabuger7I sent it from AliTabuger7@gmail.com and signed it with the same key as I have on launchpad.20:46
alitabuger7on LP my username is edb8218920:47
newz2000let me look, just a moment20:47
newz2000alitabuger7: your ticket number is 733620:48
newz2000let me ping the IS staff to see if I can get an answer20:48
newz2000I see that the ticket has been put in a queue but it hasn't been prioritized or assigned yet20:48
newz2000a sysadmin is looking at it21:02
alitabuger7yeah, leftyfb, that's kind of why I don't really understand why it took so long. They're paying for that domain anyway, and right now it's not doing nearly as much good as it should be.21:03
alitabuger7Thank you newz200021:03
newz2000Well, the problem is that there are a lot of things to do and sometimes you get so caught up and focused on the big things that it eats up all your time.21:04
alitabuger7Which is a better primary domain, spreadubuntu.com or spreadubuntu.org? I can change the .htaccess so that it pushes all .com traffic to .org and vice-versa.21:05
alitabuger7I understand being busy, for sure.21:05
leftyfbi'd say stick with .org21:17
leftyfbit's not really a commercial entity21:17
GreySimBut definitely still grab the .com and redirect.21:18
leftyfbwell, that's up to the admins :)21:19
alitabuger7If they direct them to my server, I can choose between the two.21:22
newz2000alitabuger7: I think they replied, did you get it?21:25
alitabuger7I have recieved an email from nick moffitt21:25
newz2000excellent21:25
alitabuger7"Please accept my apologies for the delay in replying to you.  We will be in touch shortly with an update on this."21:25
newz2000Basically they haven't had time to look at it but Nick himself isn't authorized to make a final decission on this21:26
newz2000but he's very responsible, I expect it will get attention soon21:26
newz2000it's evening time in Europe which is where the people who need to decide are located21:26
alitabuger7Thank you for getting things moving again. I'm sure that the ball is rolling now.21:27
newz2000you're welcome21:28
SiDi(these damn europeans, they're always somewhere else when we need them :P)22:05
jpdsnewz2000: http://webapps.ubuntu.com/employment/canonical_STA/22:15
jpdsnewz2000: Job summary: Millbank ?22:15
jpdsI know Millbank's a nice place... but it's not the best thing to put into a job summary ;)22:16

* SiDi waits on a "stupid mascot" job offer to send an application mail !22:23
newz2000SiDi: I'll make sure to give you notice before I post such a job to the website. :-)22:35
SiDithanks, newz2000 !22:36
MadsRHAny wiki masters here?23:15
MadsRHI just need help making a table center on the wiki. Does anyone know how to do that?23:17
SiDii'm not sure you can23:19
SiDiyou can use the table style to change the inside, but i dont think you can change the positioning :/23:19
MadsRHSiDi -> :-( ok, thanks23:20
SiDii just checked : the table style doesnt care about margin style properties23:21
SiDiso you cant emulate centering with margins23:21
SiDiand since i forgot 75% of CSS, i dont remember how else to center stuff23:22
MadsRHokay, I'll work something out - thanks again23:23
GreySimI would have to see the markup in question and play with it to be sure, but you *might* be able to set "text-align: center" on the table itself, then "text-align: left" on the table contents.23:24
MadsRHPerfect GreySim! I created a tablestyle with text-align:center23:28
MadsRHThanks23:28
GreySimNo problem, glad it worked. :)23:29
