schestowitz-TRI assume a rewrite of the echos with \n after quotes is the reasonOct 11 08:13
schestowitz-TRI guess that eventually it would be nice to get a list of all dirs, then loop and refactor the whole thing, not assume with dis exist and be limited to thatOct 11 08:15

schestowitz-TRjust to be sure, you changed the git updater on the SBC but did not commit to git, right? I usually check before editing which one i s ahead, if any...Oct 11 10:05
schestowitz-TRI've just committed the changesOct 11 10:07
Techrights-secYes, it is not commited I want to make sure I got all the lines fixed first.Oct 11 10:07

schestowitz-TRI checked carefully to be sure all 8 dirs were handled exactly the same wayOct 11 10:12
schestowitz-TRwith refactoring we can get lots of stuff done more easilyOct 11 10:13
Techrights-secI have a back up here too.  I'm overly careful about that.Oct 11 10:13
schestowitzit seems to have run OK, see e.g. gemini://gemini.techrights.org/git/tr-git/sbin/Oct 11 10:14
schestowitz-TRI'm done with it for now, I see no bugs after testing about 20 pages. I won't touch it the rest of the day now, to avoid conflicting changes...Oct 11 10:16
schestowitz-TRI saw the timing changes in the front page, but have not noticed changes to the ftont page today, except maybe it says time of next update instead of time leftOct 11 10:16
Techrights-secOk, can you do the commit?  I'll pull here then.Oct 11 10:18

schestowitzI feel blessed to have been invited to speak at the VPP-Herbstfachtagung 2021 in Bonn later this month. The topic of my talk will be “How the EPO examines software patents”.Oct 11 22:07
schestowitzOne of the speakers before my slot will be Fritz Blumer, legal member of the EPO Boards of Appeal, who was involved in G1/19. Another speaker will be Harald Heiske, IP Counsel at Siemens, who is not very much in favor of G1/19.Oct 11 22:07
schestowitzAll in all, it looks like the lineup could involve a vivid - and quite controversial - discussion. So I wanted to give you the opportunity to have your say:Oct 11 22:07
schestowitzWhat’s your feedback on G1/19 to an EPO Board of Appeal member? Hit reply and tell me, and I will feed it back to Mr. Blumer.Oct 11 22:07
