13:24:15 <jralls> warlord: I've locked up the Windows VM. Neither restart nor power down from the console works.

15:18:52 <shersk> Hello. I am looking for templates for accountancy reports. Is there a repository somewhere for that?
15:29:28 *** opal has quit IRC
15:30:14 *** opal has joined #gnucash
16:06:55 <jralls> sherak: GnuCash reports don't use templates, so I can only say that we have no repository for that.
16:29:25 *** fekepp has quit IRC
16:35:27 <shersk> -jralls OK
16:35:55 *** shersk has left #gnucash
16:36:42 <warlord> jralls: I'm power-cycling it. The Power Down from the UI really is "soft shutdown".
16:37:15 <jralls> warlord: Yeah, we've been through this before. :-(
16:37:42 *** noah has quit IRC
16:45:38 <warlord> jralls: yeah.
16:45:56 <warlord> jralls: anyways, it should be coming back up now.
16:47:36 <jralls> No worrries. I switched to building the release on my local VM. It's just about done.
16:51:49 <warlord> Okay. Well the builder should be back up now.

18:11:09 <gnomey> when a stock splits, and a fractional share is sold, it's normally called "cash in lieu", but gnucash incorrectly treats that as "income"
18:11:53 <gnomey> what's a sensible way to enter that? Since the stock split wizard gets it wrong, i skip it in the wizard
18:12:51 <gnomey> but then I go to the splits to add a line. I want to add a "sell" line for the fractional share, but i'm blocked from entering the unit price and number of units
18:54:54 *** Cuare has quit IRC
19:09:57 <jralls> gnomey: It is income. You can assign it to any income account you like including long-term cap gains. But if you'd rather break it out as a sale you can do that too *as long as you have the max fraction set to a small enough value*.

19:12:32 <jralls> gnomey: I just tested creating such a split-pair in the stock-split transaction.

19:33:04 <chris> jralls are you online?
19:33:13 <jralls> Yup.
19:33:40 <chris> I'll have a Christmas surprise; I was thinking of delaying but I think it's worth stating it now :)
19:34:04 <chris> I managed to track down rgmerk (the original transaction.scm author) and could meet him in Melbourne in January
19:34:16 <jralls> Cool.
19:34:36 <chris> He's become a Monash uni lecturer and is considering using gnc project to teach undergrad
19:35:18 <chris> I can't supervise this; perhaps you will have some pointers?
19:35:32 <jralls> Hmm. Somebody approached us about that last year. Absolutely nothing came of it. GnuCash is pretty gnarly to unleash on undergraduates.
19:37:25 <chris> true I wouldn't know how to evaluate, mentor or assess students either
19:38:06 <chris> but someone who was involved a long time ago could possibly read the code
19:38:45 <jralls> Well the evaluating and assessing is his job anyway. The issue is that it generally takes more than 12-18 weeks of an academic term to get your head around all of the pieces of gnucash.
19:39:11 <chris> ...
19:39:19 <chris> yes took me years
19:40:21 <chris> I'll go anyway and see what comes of it :)
19:43:39 <jralls> OK. Ask him if he's actually looked at GC since he wrote the reports. It was a much simpler program in 2001, which looks like his only commit.
19:48:08 <jralls> Ah, that's because there's a name change that github can't see. His earlier work was in 2000 and was provided as patches which Dave Peticolas applied.
19:49:55 <jralls> Heh, looks like he had his hands on date-utilities.scm. You'll have a lot to talk about! ;-)
19:51:15 <chris> yeah including a buggy week calculator
19:53:37 <chris> With that, I'm off to get ready for work
19:53:48 <jralls> Cheers!
