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, Sept 13, 7:30pm -- PHP/rsyslog, and bpytop

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, September 13th, at 7:30pm: RTFM Duo This month, we'll have a couple short RTFM-style presentations. First, Trevor Cordes (who normally prefers working quietly behind the scenes on coding or newsletter editing) will be presenting on rsyslog. Next, Brad Vokey will be presenting on bpytop. Fighting the PHPower with rsyslog Help! The new PHP8 has made normal, everyday scripting practices an error on screen or in the logfiles. Fight the power and reclaim your PHP sanity using rsyslog and its filtering options. But beware, rsyslog itself is a minefield of inexplicableness. Trevor Cordes will lead you on a quick and easy path to victory over PHP, and any other daemon you may disagree with! Bpytop - a Python port and continuation of bashtop(1) This month Brad Vokey will give us a quick demonstration of byptop. Bpytop is a colorful, efficient, responsive, terminal resource monitor that shows usage and stats for your processor, memory, disks, network and processes. Written in Python by the original author of bashtop, the author claims it is faster and much better supported. Add some bling to your original old top(1) command! 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.
