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

Reminder: MUUG Online Meeting, Tonight, Mar 8, 7:30pm -- Serverless Web Sites with AWS, tldr
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 08 Mar '22

A reminder that the MUUG online meeting will be on BBB this evening... The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting online, on Tuesday, March 8th, at 7:30pm: Serverless Web Sites with AWS What? How do you host websites without a server? Impossible? Join the meeting to find out! Wyatt Zacharias will take us through using AWS to set up so-called "serverless" web sites. RTFM: tldr(1) - a simpler alternative to man(1) This month, Brad Vokey will give us a quick demo of the tldr command that he introduced to us in the December 2021 newsletter (last page). tldr is a Python command-line client to the TLDR pages. The TLDR pages is a free and open-source collaborative software documentation project that aims to be a simpler, more approachable complement to traditional man pages. It's a collection of community-maintained help pages that covers command-line utilities and other computer programs. This will once again be an online meeting. Stay tuned to our muug.ca home page for the official URL, which will be made available about a half hour before the meeting starts. (Reload the page if you don't see the link, or if there are issues with connecting.) 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. 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, or linking to it on social media: https://muug.ca/meetings/MUUGmeeting.pdf -- Gilbert E.

Re: [RndTbl] Old MUUG server up for grabs! ($$$)
by Adam Thompson 03 Mar '22

The high bid on the server was $719. If you believe you submitted a higher bid than that, that I’m ignoring or didn’t receive, let board@ know ASAP. -Adam From: Adam Thompson On Behalf Of athompso(a)muug.ca Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2022 11:51 PM To: MUUG Roundtable <roundtable(a)muug.ca>; MUUG Announce <muug-announce(a)muug.ca> Cc: 'athompso(a)muug.ca' <athompso(a)muug.ca> Subject: Old MUUG server up for grabs! ($$$) We’re getting rid of the old server! It’s up for auction, to MUUG members in good standing only. We’re taking bids for the rest of the month by email. Emailed bids must be received by me no later than Monday 2022-Feb-28 23:59:59 to be considered eligible. We’re doing this as a “blind auction<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-price_sealed-bid_auction>”, where everyone submits their bid to me (Adam Thompson), and at the end of the bidding period, I’ll contact the highest bidder. If they’re unable to follow through for any reason, it goes to the second-highest bidder, and so on. We cannot issue a receipt for tax purposes. The MUUG board (excluding board members who entered bids themselves) shall be the only, and final, avenue of appeal for anything related to this auction. Since we already know some of the board is planning to bid, and I am not, send your bids to me directly: athompso(a)muug.ca<mailto:athompso@muug.ca> (or my usual address, they both wind up in the same place), and not to board@. Please provide name, email, phone#, and dollar amount. If you don’t receive a confirmation from me within a few days, post to roundtable letting me know something’s wrong. And/or try a different email provider.
