20:22.47plarsenMan, I sure could do with a XML forum with ppl who knows XSD. Not necessarily IRC. Anyone have an idea?
20:31.57jsmithI've heard good things from some of the mailing lists
20:43.19plarsenjsmith: any particular one?? :D
20:43.36plarsenI could try NovaLug - but usually ppl there aren't discussing programming at all.
20:44.43jsmithThere are some XML and DocBook mailing lists out there where most of the XSD experts hang out
20:44.54jsmithI'd lean more towards those, than the general purpose Linux ones
20:48.52sticksterplarsen: There's an #xml channel here on Freenode you should try
21:06.53stickster*: Anybody know if there's a way to "kick" a process that's hung on a futex, or am I stuck with killing the process?
21:12.24jsmithAs far as I know, you have to kill it
21:12.35jsmithUnless it'll respond to SIGUSR or something like that
21:26.42sticksterjsmith: Blecch
21:26.50jsmithstickster: I know, I know...
21:26.54stickster:-D
21:27.04jsmithGotta go build a server... be back later
21:27.14sticksterFortunately, Inkscape keeps a relatively contemporary backup in /tmp/inkscape- ...
21:27.23sticksterWanna see my crummy poster/flier?
21:27.33jsmith-awaySure!
21:28.20sticksterhttp://groups.google.com/group/fredlug
21:28.25sticksterI just put it up in the Files area
21:28.40sticksterSorry I'm not much of an artist.
21:28.43sticksterNor a designer.
21:28.51sticksterNor a Inkscape guru.
21:28.55sticksterNor a *SMACK*
21:29.36jsmith-awayLooks pretty good.
21:29.38jsmith-awayI like the oclors
21:29.41jsmith-awaycolors, that is
21:29.52jsmith-awayThe one thing I might add is "Wondering what open source is all about?"
21:29.57sticksterYeah
21:30.01sticksterSuggestions welcome
21:30.08jsmith-awayOther than that, it looks wonderful.
21:30.18sticksterI built it with layers so I can substitute other text in places
21:30.23sticksterEspecially that area to the left of our ol' pal Tux
21:30.34jsmith-awayThat reminds me, gotta try to fix my travel schedule to get back the night of the 27th instead of the morning of the 28th.
21:30.39sticksterhaha
21:30.48jsmith-awayAnyhoo... I'm outta here.
21:30.54jsmith-awayCatch y'all later.
21:31.00sticksternighty-night
21:31.04sticksterhope you're feeling better too :-)
21:31.21jsmith-awayYeah, I'm doing quite well
21:31.32jsmith-awayStill can't lift anything more than 5 or 10 pounds
21:31.41sticksterRight, don't strain yourself, man!
21:31.55jsmith-awayBut with the help of quigleymd and a bunch of other people, we got our stuff moved from storage to the house over the weekend
21:31.59jsmith-awaySo I'm no longer a transient!
21:32.23sticksterwoohoo!!!
21:32.38plarsenstickster: sorry, I was away. i've tried #xml for about a week now. Not even close to an answer to any of the questions I've posed.
21:32.39sticksterI suppose all the pix taken from here on out will include broad grins
21:32.57sticksterplarsen: Wow, that sucks. If you're going to bother having a channel, you should have people there at least :-\
21:33.18sticksterWell, there's always the xml-list, probably easier to get async communication there anyway
21:34.01sticksterWhat is it, xml-dev?
21:34.03sticksterCan't remember
21:36.21plarsenstickster: that wouldn't be too bad.
21:36.30plarsenAs long as there at least is a message or two a day
21:45.05plarsenwoohooo - problem solved.
21:45.35plarsenI guess the threat of finding a different place made them wake up (nahh, didn't write anything there). #xml was able to respond now.
