joeyakgraner: the email from today has really gotten to me and reinforced the awareness that because of my employer I may be doing more harm than good.... so I'm just about resolved to resign.  You previously expressed an interest in leading the fridge team. Do you have any objections if I transfer the team ownership over to you?17:52
akgranerjoey, no.. however, it will a temp thing until the team decides as a whole... we can establish guidelines for that17:53
akgranerno as in no objections until the news-team as a whole ratifies the procedures etc17:53
joeyok17:53

ZachK_:D20:13
scott_evhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/j.scott.gwin20:14
akgranerpleia2, isn't there a template?20:14
pleia2akgraner: not really20:14
pleia2we just all copy each others20:14
scott_evI copied a copy of johnc4510's20:14
ZachK_scott_ev: ok so what is the issue...20:15
scott_evactually kennymc0 got me started20:15
scott_evoh, wow, I didn't think I fixed it20:15
scott_evoh,...20:16
ZachK_i was gonna say it looks fine to mee20:16
scott_evwait20:16
scott_evboth of the tables are full and every time I uncomment to make more space, I get it messed up20:16
scott_evI'm way behind and need more blank spaces to fill in20:17
ZachK_the newsletter tables?20:17
ZachK_and the meeting table for the AZ Loco?20:17
scott_evyes, and the moderator table20:17
ZachK_ok let me see20:18
akgranerscott_ev, just add || to the end of each line20:18
ZachK_i can probably just add some fields20:18
akgranerand you will get more boxes20:18
scott_evakgraner: understood, for some dumb reason it doesn't work for me - I don't hold my tongue just right I guess20:18
akgranerhmmm20:18
akgranerZachK_, are you in his wiki right now?20:19
scott_evI mean I do pretty good from a command line but can't edit a wiki20:19
ZachK_akgraner: yeah20:19
akgranerok20:19
akgranerI'll let you take care of that then..20:19
scott_evI have 4 servers running here at home but can't edit a wiki table properly - it's embarrasing20:19
scott_evoh man, you should see my new NAS20:20
scott_evw00t w00t20:20
ZachK_akgraner: hehehe20:22
ZachK_ok scott_ev in the wiki syntax on your page you'll have the Ubuntu Weekly News #132 which ends the first row ok20:23
scott_evZachK_: thanks alot20:25
ZachK_scott_ev: i did it so you could see just take a look at the code and i'm sure you'll get it...20:26
ZachK_scott_ev: gimme just a sec20:26
ZachK_scott_ev: i see where the mod table is broke..fixing20:29
scott_evexcellent,  I really appreciate the help ZachK_20:34
ZachK_scott_ev: i think you have too much code dude...stuff that you don't even need20:34
ZachK_i'm copying it to my Bluefish so i don't lose the code incase i need it but so far i'm removing a bunch of stuff and not noticing a change to the page20:35
scott_evhuh.20:36
scott_evok20:36
ZachK_yeah...20:36
scott_evEventually I'll be uncommenting that other table and doing the AZ LoCo Weekly News too20:36
ZachK_ok20:37
ZachK_scott_ev: my wiki if you wish to see how i format is here at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZachK_20:38
scott_evthat looks nice.  but changing the format this late in the game sounds like more work than I want to do as I have many projects demanding my attention20:43
pleia2yeah, your wiki looks great :)20:44
scott_evI have plenty more I could put in there to help prove my worthiness for Ubuntu Mambership, but enough is enough20:45
ZachK_scott_ev: i'm not saying for you to change the format...20:46
scott_evoh, I wasn't sure.  yours is laid out nicely and easy to follow20:47
ZachK_scott_ev: it's just the way you had your table it makes it WAY TOO hard to add anything PLUS it makes it really easy to break...i'm almost done20:47
scott_evunderstood, tyche did that for me.  and, I agree, it's very easy to break20:47
ZachK_scott_ev: do you use Skype perhaps?20:49
scott_evnot right now20:51
scott_evI need to get it set up again20:51
scott_evthere's now skype software for my droid....20:51
scott_evwhere atr you located ZachK_ ?20:51
ZachK_the 'ol united states...20:52
scott_evI kinda figured that.  which part?20:52
ZachK_Illinois20:54

pleia2"It's All Text"21:08
akgraner:-)21:08
ZachK_no21:08
akgranerthanks pleia221:08

ZachK_k21:09

ZachK_yeah...21:14
ZachK_i don't know how he makes this page work21:14
ZachK_it's ridiculous21:15
