| <z-tau> anyone here? | |
| * cafuego_ snores | |
| <siccness> im here | |
| <siccness> but barely | |
| <praetorian> im here | |
| <praetorian> but not bare | |
| <siccness> heheh | |
| <praetorian> next | |
| <praetorian> paycheck balances | |
| *** cps|out is now known as cps | |
| <siccness> damn it, broke the fence :( | |
| <cps> siccness: how did you manage that? | |
| * elkbuntu will laugh if it involves a vehicle | |
| <siccness> cps: cricket bowling | |
| <siccness> bowled beyond 200kmph+ for sure (j/k) but it was quick enough to snap a plank of the fence in half and flying back into the neighbours yard | |
| <cps> so they fence couldn't take your onslaught | |
| <siccness> Yup | |
| <cps> seems like one of those bitter-sweet moments | |
| <siccness> dont you hate it when you buy a crapload of meat from the butcher | |
| <siccness> to find all of it is shit | |
| <cps> all the same kind of meat | |
| <cps> *? | |
| <siccness> different | |
| <cps> what was wrong with it? | |
| <siccness> the steak was impossible to cut | |
| <siccness> so the steak is all different widths | |
| <siccness> so when i go to cook it | |
| <siccness> half will be rare, the other half will be medium | |
| <cps> that's all right if you are catering for people of different tastes | |
| <siccness> yes but im catering for myself and myself only. | |
| <siccness> I want the whole damn thing rare | |
| <siccness> ahh well, :| | |
| <Tatey> "emacs is an excellent OS, it just needs a good text editor" lol | |
| <siccness> Tatey: Heh | |
| <ginnus> 'ello | |
| <siccness> G'day mate. | |
| <praetorian> a glass thanks | |
| <ginnus> only if it's full 'o merlot | |
| <praetorian> oh | |
| <praetorian> i thought you were bringing Guiness | |
| <ginnus> lol | |
| <praetorian> ginnus guiness | |
| <ginnus> yes it was a hurried bastardry that stuck .. | |
| <ginnus> *shrug* not realy fussed on burnt beer ... | |
| <siccness> guiness is rat shit | |
| <siccness> VB is what all should drunk :) | |
| <praetorian> ive never tried it | |
| <siccness> Try it | |
| <praetorian> i just drink scotch and coke | |
| <praetorian> um | |
| <ginnus> scotch and water .. | |
| <ginnus> or merlot | |
| <ginnus> so fellow tipplers .. | |
| <praetorian> siccness, you just lost 10 points of rating | |
| <praetorian> karma | |
| <praetorian> whatever you want to call it | |
| <praetorian> VB is horse piss. | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <siccness> Trust me mate, I never lose points. | |
| <siccness> I'm always right | |
| <siccness> :) | |
| <praetorian> sure sure | |
| <ginnus> after much poorly aimed googling ... I've failed to find out how to get a list of installed packages on my newly commisioned ubuntu server box .. | |
| <ginnus> I only have ssh access to the sun lump of ____ so its a cli thing .. | |
| <praetorian> dpkg -l | |
| <praetorian> iirc | |
| <praetorian> been along time since i used apt | |
| <ginnus> realy ... I thought i tried that ... brb. | |
| <praetorian> probably might even be an easy way | |
| <praetorian> easier | |
| * praetorian ssh to debian box | |
| <praetorian> yep, dpkg -l | |
| <ginnus> ah shite .. thank you it worked .. I must have done something wrong the last time .. | |
| <siccness> Been a while since I used Debian, and/or Debian based | |
| <Tatey^2> siccness prefers to use nub-based distro's | |
| <ginnus> its one of the few that offer linux for sparc | |
| <praetorian> siccness: i have a debian vps that i remember exists every x days | |
| <praetorian> or every wordpress update | |
| <praetorian> so some times that can be every x minutes | |
| <praetorian> given the security of wordpress | |
| <siccness> Yep, but atleast my distribution is specifically designed for treating the end-user properly. There's this distribution called "Arch" linux which has treated its users so poorly by using 'call-home' software that actually tracks the users data and forwards any innapropriateness found to the corresponding agency. | |
| <siccness> Expect a call from the Federal police oh so soon Tatey^2 :D | |
| <ginnus> eww.. i'll avoid that one then .. | |
| <siccness> Yeah | |
| <siccness> You really should. | |
| <ginnus> what do they call that ... from trusted computing to enforced ethical computing .. | |
| <praetorian> yeah | |
| <praetorian> everyone needs to use gentoo | |
| <TheMuso> siccness: I don't believe that. | |
| <praetorian> either do i :P | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <siccness> TheMuso: its completely false | |
| <siccness> but | |
| <praetorian> Could not connect to mouth.voxel.net:80 (69.9.180.118), connection timed out | |
| <praetorian> damn you mouth.voxel.net | |
| <siccness> tatey and i like to humiliate each others distribution of choice | |
| <praetorian> humilate Hit3k's distro of choice | |
| <praetorian> its not hard | |
| <praetorian> its windows | |
| <praetorian> :~ | |
| <siccness> slack | |
| <siccness> or win? | |
| <Tatey^2> everyone DOESN'T need to use Gento | |
| <Tatey^2> *Gentoo | |
| <harrisony> slackware == hmm, gentoo == ok ubuntu == 1 thing wrong :) | |
| <ginnus> some people use suse or so I've been told .. | |
| <siccness> suse sucks | |
| <ginnus> *evil grin* | |
| <ginnus> beats windows .. | |
| <siccness> thats just my opinion tho | |
| <harrisony> rpm ==badddddd (dont know why, someone just said_ | |
| <ginnus> but then dos beats windows | |
| <siccness> each to their own | |
| <ginnus> lol... | |
| <siccness> im not sure what people talk about when they say rpm sucks, i just know everytime i use an RPM based distro i can barely ever install shit correctly | |
| <harrisony> i know yum is stuffe | |
| <harrisony> d | |
| <TheMuso> Heh. Who couldn't see Wild I&T's demise coming? | |
| <ginnus> well I suppose after your kind help I should go use my new dpkg list to figure out my new box ... | |
| <siccness> i usually receive some rediculous error that takes 4hrs to fix | |
| <ginnus> thankyou muchly gents .. | |
| <siccness> ginnus: :) | |
| <ginnus> *wave* | |
| <siccness> you're quite welcome to stay | |
| <siccness> because | |
| <siccness> if you leave, the channel will go back to idling | |
| <purserj> TheMuso: and in other news PlanetDomain has been bought out | |
| <ginnus> i might just loiter a bit ... | |
| <ginnus> I may find further questions ... lol | |
| <TheMuso> purserj: So? | |
| <purserj> Well they are/were who I had the domain reseller account with | |
| <purserj> Just venting really | |
| *** cafuego__ is now known as cafuego_ | |
| <TheMuso> oh ok | |
| <adhok> evenen all =) | |
| <siccness> Evening | |
| <adhok> hey siccness | |
| <adhok> how be you mate? | |
| <siccness> how be me? well it's rather easy to be me | |
| <adhok> ah indeed | |
| <siccness> but to answer your somewhat poorly structured questio, i'm good mate, yourself? :D | |
| * adhok wonders about the bleedin' obvious... | |
| <adhok> pffffffffffffft | |
| <adhok> poorly structured! | |
| <adhok> i'm fine. been a long hot day | |
| <siccness> I hear ya mate. | |
| <adhok> went to our local LUG this evenen =) | |
| <adhok> joel showed us the OLPC | |
| <adhok> there were a lot of new faces | |
| <siccness> quick question on OLPC | |
| <adhok> siccness: who/where is your local LUG? | |
| <siccness> obviously it's there for child education | |
| <siccness> but would someone who's a little older than what one would consider a 'child' be allowed? | |
| <siccness> for the sole purpose of education. | |
| <adhok> its an interesting and exciting shift in application design | |
| <siccness> my local lug would be the Melbourne one | |
| <adhok> thinking about pairing down the apps to the actual bones of the functionality | |
| <adhok> so LUV ? | |
| <siccness> or vicYeah | |
| <adhok> vicYeah ? | |
| <siccness> poorly structured sentence? | |
| <siccness> :) | |
| <siccness> Yeah, i'm not sure. | |
| <adhok> hehehe | |
| <siccness> I'd like to get involved in a LUG group | |
| <siccness> but | |
| <siccness> I'm not really sure how to go about it, and I'm not a confident man. I'd need someone to attend with me | |
| <cafuego_> siccness: Just turn up, you'll be fine. | |
| <Phlosten> evening all | |
| <cafuego_> siccness: In regards to the OLPC, if you order 1,000,000 they don't care what age you are. | |
| <purserj> siccness: cafuego_ is part of LUV, he should be able to help out | |
| * cafuego_ is just a member, you have no direct evidence that I support the presidents drinking habit. | |
| <adhok> AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGH! | |
| <cafuego_> adhok: bless you | |
| * purserj refuses to make comment on the LUV presidents drinking pro... habits | |
| <adhok> i don't think you are taking this in the spirit it was intended! | |
| <adhok> pah! | |
| <adhok> you guys have such short memories | |
| <cafuego_> yeah, something about alcohol abuse that seems to just kill the brain cells | |
| <adhok> or you were all getting more miles up on your own drinking pro ... habites | |
| <purserj> sorry, I've only had three bottles tonight | |
| * cafuego_ has had none :-( | |
| * adhok finishes of first tallie | |
| <purserj> tallie - ho? | |
| <cafuego_> purserj: I'm afraid you're the only smoker | |
| <adhok> tallie == long neck | |
| <purserj> ahhh | |
| <cafuego_> adhok: is that crazy adelaide-speak? | |
| <adhok> prolly | |
| <adhok> does anyone know about this iBurst internet thingy? | |
| <purserj> evil_steve does I believe | |
| <adhok> ah yes, he be the one supplying a modem for barcamp | |
| <purserj> ah | |
| <adhok> we are currently internet-less at barcampadelaide | |
| <lucychili> http://www.iburst.com.au/?file=/uploaded/Adelaide.gif | |
| <adhok> their site sucks | |
| <cafuego_> evil_steve *is* awake | |
| <cafuego_> hiding on #linux.conf.au | |
| <adhok> pfft thats not a coverage | |
| <cafuego_> adhok: airstream it | |
| <cafuego_> adhok: Borrow a couple of 2m dishes | |
| <cafuego_> and fry whoever gets in the way ;-) | |
| <adhok> yeah | |
| <adhok> thats an option if we had a 100M mast | |
| <adhok> there is a little mountain range in the way | |
| <merlin-linux> evening all | |
| <adhok> i wonder how they put this map together ... | |
| <adhok> spot of war driving? | |
| <merlin-linux> adhok: huh? | |
| <adhok> merlin-linux: looking at iburst for internets | |
| <adhok> coverage in adelaide is pretty slim | |
| <merlin-linux> oh blah | |
| <adhok> mate in sydney has it and we used it at the LCA | |
| <adhok> coverage was patch there too =/ | |
| <adhok> was good through put before 9am and carp until about midnight | |
| <merlin-linux> iburst is for mobile fones? | |
| <adhok> no, wireless internets | |
| <adhok> 3.5GHz - IIRR | |
| <adhok> its not an ISM band | |
| <merlin-linux> ok | |
| <adhok> its licenced to commercial providers | |
| <adhok> think TV kind of broadcast mode; | |
| <adhok> model | |
| <cafuego_> adhok: packet radio! shortwave! | |
| <adhok> i have thought about this | |
| <adhok> i can't get my foundation licence fast enough =/ | |
| <cafuego_> bdale will love you | |
| <adhok> i wnat to get into packet anyway | |
| <cafuego_> hmm, i know someone here with a licence | |
| <siccness> Hey cafuego_ | |
| <cafuego_> she spoke with MIR | |
| <cafuego_> siccness: yo | |
| <Hit3k> <praetorian> humilate Hit3k's distro of choice | |
| <Hit3k> <praetorian> its not hard | |
| <Hit3k> <praetorian> its windows | |
| <Hit3k> what? | |
| <siccness> burned | |
| <adhok> Hit3k: does your window manage have windows? | |
| <Hit3k> window manager? gnome? yes :p | |
| <cafuego_> siccness: what's up? | |
| <adhok> dialog boxes? or buttons perhaps? | |
| <siccness> cafuego_: bugger all mate, yourself? | |
| <Hit3k> Dialog Boxes? adhok why... | |
| <cafuego_> siccness: Oh, just browsing for lighthouse photos in fspot | |
| <siccness> cafuego_: iirc, you provided me with assistance on subnetting, correct? | |
| <cafuego_> siccness/24 indeed | |
| <siccness> heheh | |
| <siccness> would you be able to assist me sometime later this month or next month? | |
| <cafuego_> i expect so | |
| <Hit3k> goodnight australia! | |
| <cafuego_> well, put it this way, i can try | |
| <siccness> it wont take longer than a normal conversation, ill just need a method of understanding how to do things, ill write it up and learn it | |
| <adhok> hehehe | |
| <adhok> definition; subnetting, the art of making your life easier by cutting networks into smaller, more managable pieces | |
| <elkbuntu> http://bash.org/?727758 <-- i like this guy's logic | |
| <siccness> yea | |
| <siccness> adhok: i know the purpose of it | |
| <cafuego_> siccness: *nod* | |
| <adhok> elkbuntu: slow night huh? | |
| <elkbuntu> adhok, my brain has gone on a hiatus | |
| <siccness> elkbuntu: lol, i hear ya :) | |
| <siccness> it's around that time of year where you're at the point of Kevin Bloody Wilsons DILLIGAF | |
| * adhok steals elkbuntu's idle CPU cycles | |
| * merlin-linux is bombed out | |
| <siccness> <--Has a wedding to attend to on Saturday | |
| <siccness> Best thing about weddings, free beer :D | |
| <adhok> huh? siccness you ... gardening? | |
| <siccness> eh? | |
| * merlin-linux thinks 10 days till barcamp and to much to to do | |
| <adhok> hi Hobbsee | |
| <siccness> adhok: was that some question related to me getting married? if so, no, im not getting married. I'm just attending. | |
| <ginnus> nite all | |
| <siccness> Night mate | |
| <adhok> weeding != wedding | |
| <siccness> big ol' sicc is a lil too young to be tying himself to a ball and chain | |
| <siccness> well luckily i didnt saying weeding. | |
| <adhok> siccness: mate you got plenty of time | |
| <siccness> mind you, ill never get married. | |
| * merlin-linux is going to die a lonely old man :-) | |
| *** cps is now known as cps|Zzz | |
| <siccness> It's the only way, merlin-linux | |
| <Hobbsee> hiya adhok | |
| <adhok> being a lonely geezer is over rated | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: yeah i been there and done it all before | |
| <lucychili> http://tools.waglo.com/hotw/barcamp | |
| <siccness> See, let the wise siccness explain something to you all. Women are fantastic. For a day. Any longer, they get to that stage of "why are you still here?" | |
| <merlin-linux> i have a daughter out of it all | |
| <siccness> Then again, my ability to hold a conversation with a female is about as short as a Windows ME uptime. | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: lmao | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: funny thing is i agree with your philosophy | |
| <siccness> well like i said, i am wise. | |
| <siccness> moreso than einstein | |
| <merlin-linux> hehe | |
| <merlin-linux> now you are just getting cocky | |
| <siccness> Hi, I'm siccness. :) | |
| <adhok> way cool, hack your way to soundcard based packet radio! | |
| <adhok> http://www.dxzone.com/cgi-bin/dir/jump2.cgi?ID=13803 | |
| <siccness> that is pretty damn cool | |
| <adhok> it is? | |
| <siccness> no idea | |
| <siccness> i need to play around with ACLs | |
| <adhok> right now i could do with some internet bandwidth ... | |
| <siccness> adhok: you know a lot about linux sys administration, are ACLs important? | |
| <adhok> i must be capped or summat | |
| <adhok> yes | |
| <elkbuntu> adhoc, i've had that feeling for the past couple days. general browsing as been sluggish :( | |
| <elkbuntu> however im certain we're not capped. nobody here does anything to suck 20gb | |
| <adhok> huh | |
| <adhok> elkbuntu: you'd be surprised | |
| <adhok> i let rtorrent go mad | |
| <adhok> maybe i slurped 8gb =( | |
| <elkbuntu> adhoc, by 'here' i mean this household | |
| <adhok> movies from LCA mostly | |
| <adhok> elkbuntu: i understand | |
| <elkbuntu> adhoc, they're on 'node now, thanks to shenki | |
| <siccness> i check my download limit daily with my bigpondusage.sh script :) | |
| <adhok> node rocks =) | |
| <adhok> siccness: pfffffffffft | |
| <adhok> i should setup something like that too | |
| <siccness> hey! don't knock the only worthy thing ive ever created in bash :P | |
| * adhok needs mid digit extraction | |
| <adhok> siccness: =D | |
| <siccness> We found out our BASH assignment today | |
| <siccness> You would not believe how easy it is | |
| <adhok> siccness: yess? | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, you go to TAFE, right? | |
| <siccness> it's basically "cat /var/log/messages" | |
| <siccness> elkbuntu: yea | |
| <elkbuntu> then yeah, i'd believe it's easy | |
| <siccness> elkbuntu: it's all well and good to assume such | |
| <siccness> but | |
| <adhok> siccness: i should show you some of the bash one liners i hack up on the mailman/ldap server =) | |
| <siccness> it's not what I'd consider /fair/ | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, my statement stands | |
| <siccness> That's fine. I just disagree. | |
| <elkbuntu> TAFE doesnt run courses, they run 2yr long games. | |
| <adhok> at uni i had to write cat /var/log/messages in asm | |
| <siccness> adhok: lol | |
| <adhok> 6809 assembler | |
| <siccness> Configuring a CISCO router isn't what I'd consider a 'game' | |
| <siccness> We had no documentation on how to use it | |
| <adhok> hacked up a floppy drive to a dual way latching thingy on the bus | |
| <elkbuntu> adhoc, and of course your teacher told you how he had do it in binary in his day, right? | |
| <purserj> Punch cards elkbuntu punch cards | |
| <siccness> LOL | |
| <elkbuntu> riiight | |
| <siccness> purserj: ahh the good ol' days :D | |
| <siccness> I still remember using BBS with my old man | |
| <siccness> 4 or so years old, askin him to get games | |
| <siccness> ahh how so much has changed. | |
| <elkbuntu> purserj, i beg forgiveness, especially considering the oldest hardware i've physically seen is an old telstra drum | |
| <elkbuntu> s/telstra/telecom/ | |
| * adhok hacked a 1/2 inch tape drive to work on his linux box in 1994 | |
| <adhok> the paper tape reader from the 11/30 took longer ... | |
| <siccness> Damn you people are old :P | |
| <adhok> siccness: started early | |
| <siccness> in computing? or linux? | |
| <adhok> yes | |
| <elkbuntu> the only decent tafe teacher i had used to do IT Admin for telecom, and he hoarded some old bashed-in-for-security drums from like 20+ years ago | |
| <siccness> yes? yes for what? | |
| <siccness> elkbuntu: I've got a great new set of tafe teachers | |
| <adhok> siccness: i am older than you and been using linux since 1993 | |
| <siccness> I got one who's knowledge on computers is extremely broad and in-depth | |
| <siccness> i got another one who has 20,000 certs | |
| <siccness> and well, the rest are duds | |
| <elkbuntu> 20k certs. sure. | |
| <adhok> thgats how much he spent right? | |
| <siccness> hyperbole, but the point remains. | |
| <adhok> you have to pay for certs right... | |
| <elkbuntu> bah. dont use english terminology with me after 5pm | |
| <siccness> hyperbole = wild exaggeration | |
| <elkbuntu> aha | |
| * elkbuntu barely scraped past HSC english. would have been moderate if the essay question hadn't been written by a drunk, stoned, braindamaged quadruple amputee | |
| <siccness> Schools stupid | |
| <adhok> siccness: use "out of touch with reality" | |
| <siccness> I had decided I wanted to be in the I.T field since I was about 10 years old. Why should I be forced to learn accounting, science and other un-related bullshit just because they think I might change my mind. | |
| <adhok> siccness: you're lucky i had no idea about what i wanted to do | |
| * adhok is here by chance | |
| <siccness> Ahh fair enough | |
| <siccness> I've just always loved computers | |
| <adhok> i finished year 12 and drifted | |
| <adhok> siccness: me too, but ... | |
| <elkbuntu> heh. i left highschool to do environmental science at uni and tafe for the next 3 years -- unsuccessfully | |
| <purserj> I didn't even finish highschool | |
| * adhok has always loved computers and cars and bikes and electronics and maps and ... | |
| <elkbuntu> then a school project involved making a website, so i taught myself html one saturday since nobody in the class had a clue | |
| <siccness> I've always loved cars myself, just never knew enough about them to have any form of career in them | |
| <elkbuntu> and yeah well.. computers sort of took over | |
| <siccness> I'd love to be able to rebuild a motor | |
| <adhok> damn it! | |
| <adhok> you guys have a direction! | |
| * adhok needs a direction! | |
| <elkbuntu> adhok, i do? | |
| <adhok> elkbuntu: um ... | |
| <siccness> I'd be reluctant to call it a direction | |
| <adhok> probably | |
| <siccness> Computers are so broad | |
| <adhok> damn .. i was on a roll there | |
| <adhok> stop shooting me down in flames like that =/ | |
| <elkbuntu> adhok, does blindly following a faint distant light count as 'direction'? | |
| <siccness> I want to become a system admin, just so I can go back to high school and tell the teacher who said I never had a chance | |
| <adhok> elkbuntu: yeah ... maybe ... no | |
| <elkbuntu> adhok, im in your club dude | |
| <purserj> adhok has a club? | |
| <purserj> adhok: you want a challange? Have a look in the pacific, look at what they're doing with wireless | |
| <siccness> purserj: whens the next cast? | |
| <purserj> siccness: a week tomorrow | |
| <siccness> whats on the schedule? | |
| <purserj> I was thinking of another round table | |
| <purserj> This time looking at Graphics Doods | |
| <siccness> ill tune in | |
| <purserj> cool | |
| <purserj> If we can get streaming that is | |
| <siccness> heh | |
| <elkbuntu> my goodness. he's proliferating | |
| <siccness> elkbuntu: 5pm dear. | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, it's called 'payback' | |
| <siccness> heh | |
| <elkbuntu> you used damn english terminology before. you deserve a proper word now | |
| <siccness> haha | |
| <elkbuntu> pro = positive, lif = life, erat = random crap to make it seem like a word, ing = action | |
| <elkbuntu> basically, multiplying | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <elkbuntu> like teh bunny rabbits | |
| <siccness> I can see how cutting them into sections makes it more logical | |
| <elkbuntu> yes, cutting rabbits into sections does make logical sense ;) | |
| <elkbuntu> especially the chocolate ones | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <siccness> chocolate is terrible | |
| <siccness> unless it's cadbury | |
| <siccness> that's some pimp chocolate | |
| <elkbuntu> yeah.. too true. 'willow' is the brand of the el cheapo chocolate eggs that occur in this area at this time of the year. it's oversweet and a tad nutty | |
| <siccness> yeah, they really do put out easter eggs and what not bloody early | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, it starts *on* NYE | |
| <siccness> Exactly. It's pathetic. | |
| <elkbuntu> indeed | |
| <elkbuntu> but hey, i am appreciative for the extended Cadbury Creme Egg purchasing window | |
| <siccness> the best eggs are those small (not the really small ones) cadbury ones | |
| <siccness> the ones which are about the actual size of an egg | |
| <elkbuntu> the 25g ones? yeah | |
| <elkbuntu> i like to get a big egg and smash it into a bowl and put it in the fridge | |

| <Hobbsee> elkbuntu: wrong. not NYE - the day after boxing day, here. | |
| <Hobbsee> and that's only because we're not open on boxing day. | |
| <Hobbsee> might have delayed to NYE where you are, though | |
| <elkbuntu> Hobbsee, well, it was a few years ago since i worked at coles, but that's when it happened back then. wouldnt surprise me if it's been bumped forward now | |
| <Hobbsee> heh | |
| <MatthewV> haha | |
| <MatthewV> what am i laughing at? | |

| <praetorian> dxf2svg | |
| <pschulz01_> praetorian: package? | |
| <praetorian> no idea | |
| <praetorian> i just googled dxf2svg and it exists | |
| <pschulz01_> praetorian: Not a package in edgy repositories. | |
| <pschulz01_> praetorian: Im printing to 'ps' and then seeing if I can import that in to inkscape. | |
| <praetorian> k | |
| <pschulz01_> praetorian: Hmm.. you might be onto something.. my method didn't work. | |
| <cafuego_> dxf2svg.sf.net | |
| <cafuego_> Except they have no actual software yet | |
| <cafuego_> dxf2svg-inkscape does | |
| <pschulz01_> cafuego_: I saw that.. why do people insist on using 'zip' | |
| <cafuego_> pschulz01_: clearer to OSX users? | |
| <cafuego_> windows weenies? | |
| <adhok_> zip is dos land man! | |
| <pschulz01_> cafuego_: praetorian: ... and its corrupt! | |
