guiverclooking at #538 : i made the top 5 questions list (askubu; i haven't noticed that before [an answer])  :)00:50
guivercprogress yaru:  "details the install means and notes" - too difficult?  means could be mis-understood by those not first language english   (though this is me; the pot calling kettle black !)00:53
Bashing-omguiverc: Feels good all over - I too get a charge when one of my posts (forum)  makes it onto the list .00:54
guiverc:)00:55
guivercplanet:open the cosmic: "why it wasn't included in 18.04 are given" i think is change ; s/are given/is given/  (many->singular) ??00:58
Bashing-omlook'n .. you may well be right :) lemme log back in .01:01
guivercmy thoughts; not @ end yet...01:02
Bashing-omYep ! .. agreed .. should be singular . will change .01:03
guiverckde plasma 5.14: "Joey apprises though, the"   - this is really petty, but I say ; (not comma)01:04
Bashing-omguiverc: ack01:06
guivercCanonical Donates: "for the Nexus 10; Dalton Durst reports"  I suspect a 'as Dalton Durst" would read better; ie. possibly add a "as"01:08
guivercplenty of muscle - you have to have written that; I sure don't use analogy!01:09
guiverclooks really good in my opinion Bashing-om01:11
Bashing-omguiverc: guilty . saves listing the specs . // As to the comma in kde plasma 5.14: I kinda want to have that pause because of the length of the sentence and to add emphasis . - I can live with taking the comma out, however .01:12
guivercdo as you suggest - I barely passed english !  (maybe I should have said that earlier; though is mostly obvious!)01:12
Bashing-omguiverc: If we add 'as' it changes the meaning of the sentence somewhat . We really want to do that ?01:16
guivercit was a suggestion; if you don't like it ignore my suggestion please!01:16
guiverc(if I read the same thing tomorrow; I'll likely come up with different suggestions - i'm better @ reading cobol & prehistoric computer code!)01:17
Bashing-omguiverc: Never ignore .. I am the novice here ... rmember, I am the gofer in this enterprise .01:17
guivercthis relates to ENGLISH - in my opinion you're the master there friend :)01:18
Bashing-omguiverc: Speaking of gofer, are you able to do the media postings Monday? As that is above my pay-grade .01:19
guivercyep - you tell me when, and I'll post...01:19
Bashing-omOh say .. long about 8ish GMT to do the media releases ?01:20
Bashing-omPM !01:21
guiverc_di'm looking at clock, may be closer to ~10:00 [UST/UTC/GMT] that I can do it; happy?); but will do when I can in 5+ hours okay?01:24
=== guiverc_d is now known as guiverc
Bashing-omguiverc_d: 1000 UTC puts me at 5 AM ... I have not had my coffee at that time ! I shoot for releasing while still a Monday on Greenwitch time .01:27
guivercokay - i probably need my coffee; i have it ~2:30 in london; which is why I said 5+ hours (to get close to 8am) from now (making allowances for me in yard & busy on housework i do each monday); doing it later (say 7-9 hours) is actually easier for me..01:33
Bashing-omguiverc: ' TZ='UTC' date ' We can do it - later - we got wiggle room and still slide under the wire of Greenworch Tuesday .01:34
guivercyep; i'm used to it being published 'tuesday' my local (+10) time; but I've always followed directions so am not used to saying when...01:36
Bashing-omguiverc: 20 hours from now will do me good .. give time for Lyz or Simon to give thier opinion on the 538 issue .01:38
guiverctomorrow then; i will potentially need prompting (b/c of brain injury; I can wake with little memory of past; esp. earlier in day & that will be early my local time..)01:41
Bashing-omguiverc: Understood. I will ping ya here . It only takes me about a half hour to do the mailings and post to the forum .01:54

Bashing-omOK, issue 538 is history .. 539 is set to go :)23:14
Bashing-omguiverc: I have not seen yet the channel bots to advise that the Fridge has the new issue .. is there a problem ?23:18
guivercwas I to do the fridge post; I don't see it ?23:18
guiverci'll post to fridge .. which goes to ....23:20
Bashing-omguiverc: Got me .. as I have no account there .. is above my pay grade :)23:20
guiverci suspect we're all on the same pay grade :)23:21
Bashing-omLOL23:21
guivercBashing-om, who ran the python code that copied to wiki - they'll have the source i need for it? (hopefully; will be faster)23:25
Bashing-omguiverc: Sorry, I do not know anything about the python code for the wiki .23:27
guivercwho copied it from gdoc to wiki?23:28
Bashing-omguiverc: I did the copy from Gdoc to the wiki - yes .23:29
guiverccut & paste I'm guessing..23:29
Bashing-omguiverc: Cut and paste to the wiki is the only way I know how to do it :(23:30
guivercno probs - how I did it too... just found krytarik's notes on correct way :)23:31
guiverc(not touching the wiki - the correct way generates a version for fridge - it's what I want; copy & paste doesn't create that...)23:31
Bashing-omguiverc: yup, I run the script to get the forum version. I do note there is a fridge.post file :)23:34
guiverccan I please get a copy of it - it's what I'm trying to generate... (haven't got there yet)23:34
Bashing-omsure ,.. gimme a tic to termbin it .23:35
Bashing-omguiverc: see: http://termbin.com/2p63 . That look like what you need ?23:37
guivercjust created it anyway, but thanks; will confirm what I created matches yours, then post...23:37
guivercdiff same; so we both screwed up the same way, or we both did okay!23:38
Bashing-omguiverc: That one ^ still has " [B]WORK IN PROGRESS[/B] " . that will require removing when posting .23:38
guiverci don't see it in file..23:38
Bashing-omguiverc: Will not be in a new generation .. I failed to remove the WIP before I ran my scripts .23:39
guivercnot an issue; the script doesn't copy everything, just titles & links (& must skip wip)23:41
guiverclinks all okay..23:43
guiverchttp://fridge.ubuntu.com/?p=8413 - if you wanna look & please scream @ me if anything is wrong..23:44
Bashing-omguiverc: I do not know what I can do - but I will look anyway :)23:45
Bashing-omguiverc: Got me .. I have never looked at the Fridge postings before .. I do not know what to compare to .23:47
guiverchttp://fridge.ubuntu.com/2018/07/23/ubuntu-weekly-newsletter-issue-537/ is prior one; http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2018/07/30/ubuntu-weekly-newsletter-issue-538/ is current one.. i think all is good23:48
Bashing-omguiverc: However ^ .. the links complete to an expected result :)23:49
Bashing-omguiverc: Yepper ! .. looks good to me :P23:49
guivercmy 8413 post may not help you  (my bad) ; i think it assumes you have wpadmin authorities23:50
guivercand given some time, the posts should be picked up by SwissBot, Marvin & any other bots here & there :)23:51
guivercgood pick up fridge was forgotten - thank you... didn't even occur to me...23:52
Bashing-omguiverc: I just so accustomed to seeing the bots report of the fridge posting .. so I wondered :)23:54
guiverc:)  at times i remember things, other times I struggle with simple things... i can assist, alas i'm not equipped to lead anything23:57
Bashing-omguiverc: I do what I can - but I re-affirm - I am the gofer :P .. leastways til we get new blood .23:59
