| 17:31.18 | quigleymd | stickster: ping |
| 17:31.27 | stickster | quigleymd: pong |
| 17:37.09 | quigleymd | goodmorning |
| 17:37.16 | quigleymd | for some ;) |
| 17:37.32 | quigleymd | stickster: i've been trying to change the date on the fliers you made for the installfest |
| 17:37.42 | quigleymd | and i cant edit that text field |
| 17:37.44 | quigleymd | or any for that matter |
| 17:38.11 | quigleymd | now if i create a new document with some text fields in them |
| 17:38.14 | quigleymd | i can edit them |
| 17:38.18 | quigleymd | any pointers? |
| 17:38.25 | stickster | Hi quigleymd |
| 17:38.31 | stickster | Hm, I was just working on the flier last night |
| 17:38.35 | stickster | Oops, two nights ago |
| 17:38.54 | quigleymd | were you able to edit your text fields? |
| 17:39.02 | stickster | hang on... did I upload to the google group? |
| 17:39.06 | quigleymd | imm |
| 17:39.17 | quigleymd | i think no, i DL'd about noon yesterday |
| 17:39.23 | stickster | quigleymd: |
| 17:39.32 | stickster | Oh, I see, the SVG files |
| 17:39.35 | quigleymd | it is also possible that i just suck and didnt see the new one :) |
| 17:39.48 | stickster | I converted them to paths so they would be printable by anyone even without the right fonts |
| 17:39.57 | stickster | That's why they don't show up as text fields any more |
| 17:39.59 | stickster | Hang on |
| 17:40.06 | quigleymd | ahh hah |
| 17:40.24 | stickster | I wanted to make sure that whoever pulled them down didn't forget to make them into paths for that reason, and I was worried that not everyone would know how that worked |
| 17:40.41 | stickster | Hang on, I'll upload the source |
| 17:40.55 | quigleymd | :) |
| 17:41.47 | stickster | quigleymd: OK, it's up there now |
| 17:41.56 | stickster | Remember to convert everything to paths when you're finished |
| 17:42.01 | quigleymd | thank you sir :) |
| 17:42.13 | stickster | Are you taking this by some places today? |
| 17:42.25 | quigleymd | i think tomorrow morning |
| 17:42.36 | quigleymd | i was going to do it yesterday, but I couldnt get them edited |
| 17:42.45 | quigleymd | and i think the places i went before were closed on Sun |
| 17:45.21 | stickster | ah |
| 17:45.25 | stickster | quigleymd: That's cool! |
| 17:45.33 | quigleymd | :) |
| 17:45.34 | quigleymd | thanks man |
| 17:45.37 | quigleymd | i'll check you later |
| 17:45.39 | quigleymd | have a super sunday |
| 17:45.42 | stickster | If I don't hear back from Marie on Monday I will be cold-mailing tech teachers throughout Stafford/Spotsy/Fburg |
| 17:45.45 | stickster | quigleymd: you too |
| 17:45.56 | stickster | quigleymd: Nice to see you around, we've missed you |
| 17:46.18 | quigleymd | its good to be around |
| 17:46.26 | quigleymd | hopefully things are going to slow down a bit... |
| 17:46.50 | quigleymd | you find a list of tech teachers online? |
| 17:48.25 | stickster | quigleymd: I think I'll end up hitting them school-by-school from the web sites |
| 17:48.27 | stickster | :-( |
| 17:48.44 | quigleymd | bummer |
| 17:48.48 | stickster | Stafford County, at least, has a decent online presence for each school, and most of them list the tech resource teachers. |
| 17:49.00 | stickster | Yeah, I was hoping Marie could just mass mail some internal list. |
| 17:49.06 | stickster | I'm not sure they're that advanced :-\ |
| 17:49.18 | stickster | My daughter will probably be hacking them by fourth grade. |
| 17:49.24 | quigleymd | stickster: well hopefully this get them interested and they'll get on our mailing list |
| 17:49.27 | quigleymd | hah |
| 17:49.31 | quigleymd | sad but true... |
| 17:49.40 | stickster | Dude, she is so all over her XO, it is almost not funny |
| 17:49.56 | quigleymd | thats awesome! |
| 17:50.07 | quigleymd | does she know anyone else with them? |
| 17:50.26 | quigleymd | the piconet stuff looked really cool |
| 17:50.33 | quigleymd | just wondering if you've seen it work first hand |
| 17:50.42 | stickster | piconet?? |
| 17:51.18 | stickster | Is that what they call the 802.11n mesh stuff? |
| 17:51.19 | quigleymd | thats prolly not the correct term for it, but I had thought i read something about them finding neighbor XOs and allowing collaborative document editing and all kinds of other fun stuff |
| 17:51.25 | stickster | Oh yeah, that's it. |
| 17:51.35 | stickster | they have dual active antennas with a really good range |
| 17:51.52 | stickster | The funny thing is, in my house, when I'm on my laptop, she sees me there too, thanks to my telepathy presence |
| 17:52.06 | stickster | We haven't been able to communicate yet, but that's probably due to some sort of firewalling config |
| 17:52.15 | stickster | I'm digging this empathy client though |
| 17:52.25 | stickster | When my wife's on downstairs we /msg each other from different floors |
| 17:52.32 | stickster | It's so silly |
| 17:52.49 | quigleymd | :) thats awesome |
| 17:53.19 | quigleymd | im all for non-verbal communication |

| 17:53.50 | stickster | Afternoon, plarsen |
| 17:53.52 | plarsen | howdy howdy |
| 17:53.56 | plarsen | you too stickster |
| 17:54.18 | quigleymd | plarsen: ahoy hoy |
| 17:54.48 | plarsen | hey, have you seen anything that manages filesystem properties as a gui? Like "gparted" but where it actually allows you to setup and change file system properties? |
| 17:55.11 | plarsen | ahoy quigleymd |
| 17:55.48 | stickster | system-config-lvm |
| 17:56.01 | stickster | Oh, I see |
| 17:56.03 | plarsen | stickster: nope - not filesystem properties ;) just lvm/volume properties |
| 17:56.15 | stickster | No, you won't find that in a gui, but who needs it? Just use debugfs |
| 17:56.42 | plarsen | lol - well, I was simply thinking that since all other aspects had a gui, why not the file system? |
| 17:57.01 | stickster | I think the use cases for |
| 17:57.01 | plarsen | why use system-config-lvm when you have "lvm" ?? :D |
| 17:57.02 | stickster | oops |
| 17:57.21 | stickster | I think the use cases for file system property changes don't really demand GUIfying :-) |
| 17:57.40 | plarsen | stickster: well as much as lvm and parted does? |
| 17:57.44 | stickster | Most admins never need to change them, and because they can be so immediately damning, probably best not to make iteasy |
| 17:58.30 | stickster | Well, beyond the few truly destructive bits like removing partitions entirely, a lot of the backend work is hidden behind easier controls, as in the case of resizing |
| 17:58.35 | stickster | But you're welcome to write one! |
| 17:58.47 | plarsen | lol |
| 17:59.20 | plarsen | so, what tool would you use to set a label? Or change root reserved space? I can't be the only one who opererates fairly often on those levels? |
| 17:59.22 | plarsen | okie dokie |

| 19:27.51 | stickster | quigleymd: You still around by any chance? |
| 19:28.09 | stickster | I loaded up your new SVG and it's... kinda funky :-) probably just that I'm missing some fonts |
| 19:28.56 | stickster | I should have made a listing of the fonts I used |
