Hi folks. I've been having such fun this season. The only thing sad for me
|
|
is, I still haven't gotten around to updating my workstation. I did update
|
|
my laptop tho. Debian Testing is coming along nicely.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
Okay, I'll make the Peeve of the Month quick. First a big hand to most of
|
|
our querents for using real subject lines! Some of you still need to work
|
|
on it tho. However, abuse of Quoted Printable when you only have plain
|
|
English messages jumps back into number one. Our foreign messages are up,
|
|
so maybe half the people who did this really had a romance language to defend.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
We've got some very good general information this month which I hope you'll
|
|
find tasty.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
Before I take on this years "New Years Resolution" (21" diagonal sound good?)
|
|
I suppose I'd better finish setting up last years... I've got a color inkjet
|
|
here, a nice little Epson Stylus. Of course if I want it to work under most
|
|
circumstances I have to recompile Ghostscript with gimp-print extensions,
|
|
which means adding a half dozen -devel rpms, and... and... you know, this is
|
|
a real pain. I don't even see that one of the fancier print environments
|
|
would help. Aaaargh.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
And to think I was ragging on word processors last year. I have to say
|
|
they've gotten much better. They crash less often than Netscape (well, ok,
|
|
that isn't saying much for some folks, but I got NS to be pretty stable a
|
|
while ago. Leaving JS off seems to help a lot). Documents are getting to
|
|
be kinda usable. I saw a freshmeat app pushing to be a desktop publishing
|
|
program. What I really wonder is when someone is going to write the
|
|
"obvious" wrapper around the GIMP or ImageMagick to do all those old
|
|
"Print Shop Deluxe" kind of things in a fairly slick way. Of course I'm
|
|
bucking for The GIMP, because it's supposed to make my color printer happy...
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
Well, enjoy your bit of the bubbly, <em>try</em> not to blow up anything
|
|
when you set off your OpenGL firecrackers, and don't get run over, it's
|
|
bad for your health. I won't be at LWE New York, I've been travelling way
|
|
too much lately, but if you're going, consider writing a show review for
|
|
the <em>Gazette</em>, okay?
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
See ya!
