| * guiverc noticed nothing on updates | 02:31 | |
| guiverc | looks good to me Bashing-om , thank you sir. | 02:33 |
|---|---|---|
| Bashing-om | guiverc: Appreciate your sharp eyes too :D // On another front - before airing any laundry that might be dirty - I have a proto type of "What say you" in our template. See what you think please. | 02:45 |
| guiverc | I'd suggest using upper case in title (I like all lower case, but it'll look unusual in index I fear)... & I'd probably remove some \n's eg. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YCGM7fsTNp/ | 02:57 |
| Bashing-om | editing | 03:05 |
| Bashing-om | guiverc: ## What Say You ## I would rather that it were as a statement vice a question .. and the name of submitter as a signature at the end. | 03:22 |
| guiverc | signature at end okay; but I'd prefer it on the same line as the text; not line after.. (we could have "Signed: Bashing-om" but I don't think "Signed:" helps. | 03:24 |
| Bashing-om | guiverc: My intention herein is to lead by example :P | 03:24 |
| guiverc | "## A good think (Bashing-om)" could also be "## A good thing by Bashing-om" to avoid () | 03:25 |
| guiverc | I realize that (leading by example.. I started editing your text (start) at first, then felt that wasn't a good thing either so reverted those changes.. | 03:26 |
| guiverc | (my changing text was to make it more summary-consistent with regards wording, but that also takes away from the original-nature of what the posts are supposed to be which is NOT good) | 03:27 |
| Bashing-om | guiverc: We can run A good thing by Bashing-om up the flag pole and see how it flys :P | 03:30 |
| Bashing-om | saved the template - see now if you like. | 03:31 |
| guiverc | no issues with it... I'm no fan of \n before "What is your story?" but adding that to a 'contributor submission' isn't great either... At least initially, we may want to include a short 'intro' (or could be ending) but I'm not thinking of replacing your <ins> text.. something we leave in issue (at least initially; 1 sentence hopefully only).. | 03:39 |
| * guiverc going to go walk dog, BOM (bureau meterology) suggest more rain coming.. | 03:42 | |
| guiverc | ^ bom do spel their name correctly... meteor.... | 03:43 |
| Bashing-om | guiverc: Before we go live i intend to get aaronprisk's opinion - if he considers that this will further the Newsletter. | 03:43 |
| guiverc | that is a great idea.. (this discussion may have been better if we'd had it on matrix.. more eyes tehre maybe)... but had that thought a tad late.. | 03:43 |
| Bashing-om | *HOT* and dry here -- we have hope for rain in a couple of days in the forcast. | 03:44 |
| Bashing-om | copy and paste to Matrix ? | 03:45 |
| guiverc | maybe not copy/paste.. we could just talk about it [on matrix] when we're working on next issue.. bring up some of ^ discussion there (even do that via ping to AaronPr in that room; or were you thinking of discourse pm/message? I suspect that's better than just copy/paste.. | 03:52 |
| * guiverc away awhile.. | 03:52 | |
| Bashing-om | guiverc: Back on ? | 05:22 |
| guiverc | ~yeah... got rained on so didn't get far from home | 05:22 |
| Bashing-om | Curious, Mouse cursor locator - is the key binding universal - in Xubuntu is the combo super+F1 - does this also work in Lubuntu ? | 05:25 |
| guiverc | I'm using `xfwm4` for my WM, a Lubuntu default uses `openbox`, so whilst most of my lubuntu shortcuts/key-bindings will work; not all will... Given I don't know what you're expecting with Super+F1 I'm betting NOPE.. I'd have to logout & login with an Xfce sesssion to see what it does there... I do have EYES on panels on all my monitors to help me find my mouse-pointer !! (ie. six [sets, not 3x2] eyes looking direction of mouse-pointer at | 05:30 |
| guiverc | all times - my aid here on LXQt) | 05:30 |
| Bashing-om | guiverc: On Xfce super+F1 gives an expanding radii in the quadrant of the mouse cursor. | 05:35 |
| guiverc | I'll endeavour to try that when using xfce... hold on.. (realized I have a noble box in another room running logged into xubuntu/xfce..) | 05:36 |
| guiverc | that is cute.. so nope I don't have it here.. (not sure I'll remember it; I tend not to if not available in all my environments.. but it maybe helpful, more useful than my eyes which are far from perfect..) | 05:38 |
| Bashing-om | Just curious if particular to the Xfce environment or if a kernel thing. | 05:42 |
| guiverc | I'm betting Xfce.. as I'm not getting it here on LXQt using xfwm4 as WM, but sorry I don't know. | 05:44 |
| Bashing-om | :-) | 05:47 |
