pleia2anyone else available for review of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue224 before publication tomorrow?00:04
pleia2and we need the links check to make sure they all work :)00:04
nlsthznpleia2: ouch... link check sounds painfull...00:07
pleia2http://linkchecker.sourceforge.net/ looks promising :)00:09
* pleia2 tries it out00:09
pleia2(it's in apt, just installed it)00:09
* nlsthzn holds thumbs that it does what you hope...00:10
pleia2hmm00:10
* nlsthzn crosses fingers00:10
nlsthznalways forget that holding thumbs is a native figure of speech that nobody outside of my home country will get :p00:10
pleia2hrm, that doesn't help00:14
philipballewso holding thumbs down is a good thing?00:14
pleia2http://validator.w3.org/checklink seems better00:15
nlsthznI guess it is the manual way then :'( I'll start from the bottom and work my way up...00:15
nlsthznphilipballew: holding thumbs is just an expression for luck... like crossing your fingers etc...00:15
pleia2nlsthzn: this seems to be working00:15
* nlsthzn stops clicking links...00:16
philipballewhaha, i read in a book last year sticking your middle finger at somebody in aferica was a sing of congrats where in america it is not00:17
nlsthznphilipballew: well africa is a very large place... I would suggest not doing to in South Africa ;)00:17
pleia2woohoo, looks good00:19
pleia2the link checker fails on wiki.ubuntu.com pages, I suspect there is some robots.txt by canonical to prevent it from working00:19
nlsthznI also ran it and I am getting a few strange results00:21
pleia2strange results?00:22
pleia2it claims the informit article is a 404, but I confirmed it's not00:22
