Hi, I've formatted the cells as date mm/dd/yy and entered the values as is. Also tried by preceeding with equal sign in case deemed to be a formula but neither works. I assume a difference between two days yields the difference in days, correct? Or are the formula different than plain math? Eduard the Osborne guy at last meeting

Lineage OS anyone?

Has anyone here installed, successfully or not? If so, what device? Strongly considering doing this on my Pixel2, but it requires a custom compile, as the device is not in the official support list. I would also consider something other than Lineage, if anyone has recommendations.

MUUG Meeting, Sept 10, 7:30pm -- Terraform (feat. Terragrunt)
by Gilbert E. Detilllieux 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, June 11. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Terraform (feat. Terragrunt) Wyatt Zacharias will present Terraform, an open-source infrastructure-as-code tool maintained by HashiCorp, used to automate deployment of compute resources. Terraform provides a universal configuration language that can define resources across many different platforms. It offers stateful deployment to track and maintain deployed resources. Additionally Terragrunt is an open-source wrapper tool maintained by Gruntworks, which provides additional management features and fills in feature gaps of the vanilla Terraform tool. The group holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ******************************************************************* Please note our meeting location for this month: *Room 1M28* Manitoba Hall, University of Winnipeg, entrance on Ellice Ave. between Spence and Balmoral St. Parking is available on the surrounding streets and in the lots on nearby streets. Look for signage once you're at the building, or ask a security guard. ******************************************************************* For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their web server: https://muug.ca/ Help us promote this month's meeting, by putting this poster up on your workplace bulletin board or other suitable public message board: https://muug.ca/meetings/MUUGmeeting.pdf -- Manitoba UNIX User Group E-mail: <gedetil(a)muug.ca> c/o Gilbert E.
