17:37.09quigleymdgoodmorning
17:37.16quigleymdfor some ;)
17:37.32quigleymdstickster: i've been trying to change the date on the fliers you made for the installfest
17:37.42quigleymdand i cant edit that text field
17:37.44quigleymdor any for that matter
17:38.11quigleymdnow if i create a new document with some text fields in them
17:38.14quigleymdi can edit them
17:38.18quigleymdany pointers?
17:38.25sticksterHi quigleymd
17:38.31sticksterHm, I was just working on the flier last night
17:38.35sticksterOops, two nights ago
17:38.54quigleymdwere you able to edit your text fields?
17:39.02sticksterhang on... did I upload to the google group?
17:39.06quigleymdimm
17:39.17quigleymdi think no, i DL'd about noon yesterday
17:39.23sticksterquigleymd:
17:39.32sticksterOh, I see, the SVG files
17:39.35quigleymdit is also possible that i just suck and didnt see the new one :)
17:39.48sticksterI converted them to paths so they would be printable by anyone even without the right fonts
17:39.57sticksterThat's why they don't show up as text fields any more
17:39.59sticksterHang on
17:40.06quigleymdahh hah
17:40.24sticksterI 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
17:40.41sticksterHang on, I'll upload the source
17:40.55quigleymd:)
17:41.47sticksterquigleymd: OK, it's up there now
17:41.56sticksterRemember to convert everything to paths when you're finished
17:42.01quigleymdthank you sir :)
17:42.13sticksterAre you taking this by some places today?
17:42.25quigleymdi think tomorrow morning
17:42.36quigleymdi was going to do it yesterday, but I couldnt get them edited
17:42.45quigleymdand i think the places i went before were closed on Sun
17:45.21sticksterah
17:45.25sticksterquigleymd: That's cool!
17:45.33quigleymd:)
17:45.34quigleymdthanks man
17:45.37quigleymdi'll check you later
17:45.39quigleymdhave a super sunday
17:45.42sticksterIf I don't hear back from Marie on Monday I will be cold-mailing tech teachers throughout Stafford/Spotsy/Fburg
17:45.45sticksterquigleymd: you too
17:45.56sticksterquigleymd: Nice to see you around, we've missed you
17:46.18quigleymdits good to be around
17:46.26quigleymdhopefully things are going to slow down a bit...
17:46.50quigleymdyou find a list of tech teachers online?
17:48.25sticksterquigleymd: I think I'll end up hitting them school-by-school from the web sites
17:48.27stickster:-(
17:48.44quigleymdbummer
17:48.48sticksterStafford County, at least, has a decent online presence for each school, and most of them list the tech resource teachers.
17:49.00sticksterYeah, I was hoping Marie could just mass mail some internal list.
17:49.06sticksterI'm not sure they're that advanced :-\
17:49.18sticksterMy daughter will probably be hacking them by fourth grade.
17:49.24quigleymdstickster: well hopefully this get them interested and they'll get on our mailing list
17:49.27quigleymdhah
17:49.31quigleymdsad but true...
17:49.40sticksterDude, she is so all over her XO, it is almost not funny
17:49.56quigleymdthats awesome!
17:50.07quigleymddoes she know anyone else with them?
17:50.26quigleymdthe piconet stuff looked really cool
17:50.33quigleymdjust wondering if you've seen it work first hand
17:50.42sticksterpiconet??
17:51.18sticksterIs that what they call the 802.11n mesh stuff?
17:51.19quigleymdthats 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
17:51.25sticksterOh yeah, that's it.
17:51.35sticksterthey have dual active antennas with a really good range
17:51.52sticksterThe funny thing is, in my house, when I'm on my laptop, she sees me there too, thanks to my telepathy presence
17:52.06sticksterWe haven't been able to communicate yet, but that's probably due to some sort of firewalling config
17:52.15sticksterI'm digging this empathy client though
17:52.25sticksterWhen my wife's on downstairs we /msg each other from different floors
17:52.32sticksterIt's so silly
17:52.49quigleymd:) thats awesome
17:53.19quigleymdim all for non-verbal communication

17:53.50sticksterAfternoon, plarsen
17:53.52plarsenhowdy howdy
17:53.56plarsenyou too stickster
17:54.18quigleymdplarsen: ahoy hoy
17:54.48plarsenhey, 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?
17:55.11plarsenahoy quigleymd
17:55.48stickstersystem-config-lvm
17:56.01sticksterOh, I see
17:56.03plarsenstickster: nope - not filesystem properties ;)  just lvm/volume properties
17:56.15sticksterNo, you won't find that in a gui, but who needs it? Just use debugfs
17:56.42plarsenlol - well, I was simply thinking that since all other aspects had a gui, why not the file system?
17:57.01sticksterI think the use cases for
17:57.01plarsenwhy use system-config-lvm when you have "lvm" ?? :D
17:57.02sticksteroops
17:57.21sticksterI think the use cases for file system property changes don't really demand GUIfying :-)
17:57.40plarsenstickster: well as much as lvm and parted does?
17:57.44sticksterMost admins never need to change them, and because they can be so immediately damning, probably best not to make iteasy
17:58.30sticksterWell, 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
17:58.35sticksterBut you're welcome to write one!
17:58.47plarsenlol
17:59.20plarsenso, 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?
17:59.22plarsenokie dokie

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