[19:43:03] <systemd> ^ 03Error
[19:43:04] <exec> └─ 13Error
[19:49:07] <Subsentient> Bytram: Encountered a bizarre bug where it tried to set the time to 1969 on the story, even though the time formatting was identical to other stories.
[19:49:26] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Can you add a sanity check for story display times?
[19:49:42] <Subsentient> Make sure it results in a value within this century?
[20:27:30] <Bytram> Subsentient: it's a known "feature". My suggestion is to *always* check the list of story times listed on RHS (Right Hand Side) after preview (also protects against 2 eds working at same time and unknowingly scheduling a story for the same 'slot')
[20:28:05] <Subsentient> Bytram: Ahh, okay, so it's a WONTFIX, got it :^P
[20:28:38] <Bytram> don't have time at the moment to explain, but it does have some value
[20:29:23] <Subsentient> So I guess it just sets the time since the epoch to 0 if it can't strptime() to its satisfaction
[20:29:43] <Bytram> Is there anything you'd like to change in the capitalization of the story's title?
[20:29:56] <Bytram> not sure
[20:30:29] <Bytram> just got back on; need to make dinner; back in a few minutes
[20:30:58] <Subsentient> Bytram: Fixed the "In" to "in"

[20:48:06] <Bytram> Subsentient: Looks good! Now, leaving it NOT display pls pick a release date/time slot.
[20:49:16] <Subsentient> Bytram: Already did, but somehow it got bumped to a day later than I wanted. Fixed it
[20:49:43] <Bytram> k; looking
[20:50:37] <Subsentient> Bytram: You'll probably have to refresh
[20:51:01] <Bytram> refreshed
[20:51:47] <Subsentient> Should say 08/20 07:32 (12:32AM)
[20:51:48] <Bytram> weekdays, we aim for story separation of 129 minutes +/-4 minutes
[20:52:58] <Subsentient> Bytram: k, bumped a few minutes
[20:53:01] <Bytram> aka 2h9m +/- 4m
