[00:04] <pleia2> anyone else available for review of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue224 before publication tomorrow?
[00:04] <pleia2> and we need the links check to make sure they all work :)
[00:07] <nlsthzn> pleia2: ouch... link check sounds painfull...
[00:09] <pleia2> http://linkchecker.sourceforge.net/ looks promising :)
[00:09]  * pleia2 tries it out
[00:09] <pleia2> (it's in apt, just installed it)
[00:10]  * nlsthzn holds thumbs that it does what you hope...
[00:10] <pleia2> hmm
[00:10]  * nlsthzn crosses fingers
[00:10] <nlsthzn> always forget that holding thumbs is a native figure of speech that nobody outside of my home country will get :p
[00:14] <pleia2> hrm, that doesn't help
[00:14] <philipballew> so holding thumbs down is a good thing?
[00:15] <pleia2> http://validator.w3.org/checklink seems better
[00:15] <nlsthzn> I guess it is the manual way then :'( I'll start from the bottom and work my way up...
[00:15] <nlsthzn> philipballew: holding thumbs is just an expression for luck... like crossing your fingers etc...
[00:15] <pleia2> nlsthzn: this seems to be working
[00:16]  * nlsthzn stops clicking links...
[00:17] <philipballew> haha, 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 not
[00:17] <nlsthzn> philipballew: well africa is a very large place... I would suggest not doing to in South Africa ;)
[00:19] <pleia2> woohoo, looks good
[00:19] <pleia2> the link checker fails on wiki.ubuntu.com pages, I suspect there is some robots.txt by canonical to prevent it from working
[00:21] <nlsthzn> I also ran it and I am getting a few strange results
[00:22] <pleia2> strange results?
[00:22] <pleia2> it claims the informit article is a 404, but I confirmed it's not
[00:22] <nlsthzn> http://examplefoojkldsfsds.com/ ?
[00:22] <pleia2> you're looking at an old revision of the page
[00:22] <pleia2> I had that in for a test
[00:22] <pleia2> it's gone now :)
[00:23] <nlsthzn> oh ok :D
[00:23] <nlsthzn> Got me :)
[00:23] <nlsthzn> Very cool site... good find
[00:24] <philipballew> nlsthzn, this is true, the world is a big place. yet somehow small
[00:25] <nlsthzn> :)
[02:14] <nlsthzn> catch you all later...
[05:01] <philipballew> all good in the hood with the newsletter?
[08:32] <nlsthzn> hey... on the latest newsletter the date still has to be changed :)

[16:03] <nlsthzn> pleia2, sorry... thought we were a week out :p
[16:03] <pleia2> ah :)
[16:03] <nlsthzn> it is looking good :)
[17:06] <pleia2> for proofing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue224
[17:06] <nlsthzn> So far I think 224 looks pretty good :)
[17:06] <pleia2> all the links work, just need another pair of eyes to make sure we don't say silly things or whatnot
[17:07] <pleia2> I probably won't get to publishing until after work (in 7 hours)
[17:13] <nlsthzn> pleia2, your two accounts on natty and and lucid are popping in and out of the classroom :p
[17:13] <pleia2> nlsthzn: yes, I'm using this week for testing lernid
[17:14] <nlsthzn> cool
[17:14] <nlsthzn> I tried it once... installed it but never used :/
[17:15] <Unit193> Nice job on the Squiggle part :P
[17:32] <Unit193> I didn't see any problems, but I'm not exactly a proof reader.
[17:43] <pleia2> thanks Unit193 :)
[17:49] <Unit193> Maybe next week I can submit blog posts instead
[17:54]  * NRWlion wants to try to hand in some summaries
[17:54] <nlsthzn> it was fun
[18:00] <NRWlion> ok folks, i am gonna put myself in front of tv and report off duty ;)
[18:37] <nlsthzn> night
[21:49] <pleia2> looks like dholbach added a bunch of stuff to the top, I had to remove it because it was a *ton* of stuff and duplicate of some of the other stuff, I'll follow-up with him in email
