RagnarokAngel | I have a question about word processors and type-setting programs -- basically I want to have a window that is simple and just focuses on the text, like gedit, but allows some formatting (bold, italic, etc) and then use another program to typeset it when I want to send it. | 01:46 |
---|---|---|
RagnarokAngel | Anyone have some suggestions? | 01:46 |
wrst | hey RagnarokAngel | 01:50 |
RagnarokAngel | hey wrst | 01:50 |
wrst | RagnarokAngel: no real suggestions can't say word processing is something I do much of | 01:51 |
RagnarokAngel | and anyone who writes code has different parameters than someone writing fiction and criticism | 01:51 |
RagnarokAngel | wrst: no vi or emacs? | 01:52 |
wrst | RagnarokAngel: I have been using google docs lately for what little word processor stuff I do | 01:52 |
wrst | RagnarokAngel: Im a sissy its nano all the way for me :) | 01:53 |
RagnarokAngel | gdocs is fine for my formatting requirements | 01:53 |
RagnarokAngel | or writer | 01:53 |
RagnarokAngel | or anything really | 01:53 |
RagnarokAngel | I just like composing in simple text | 01:53 |
twayneprice | RagnarokAngel: I'm a fan of textpad and sublime. Markdown is good too if you are wanting to format later. | 01:54 |
wrst | I have never used sublime but I have heard its good, but of course I'm not a programmer | 01:56 |
RagnarokAngel | oOOOooo sublime looks good | 01:57 |
twayneprice | I really like the viewer on the right that shows you where you are in the file. | 01:57 |
RagnarokAngel | My thing is that I may end up formatting some text into rtfs and others into epubs | 01:57 |
RagnarokAngel | so a basic .txt file is usually a good starting point | 01:58 |
twayneprice | You should take a look at markdown and its variations. http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/epub.html | 01:59 |
RagnarokAngel | twayneprice: thanks so much this is intuitive and is basically what I'm looking to do | 02:03 |
twayneprice | RagnarokAngel: happy to help. :) | 02:03 |
wrst | twayneprice: I have made it two days without blowing the raspberry pi up | 02:04 |
twayneprice | wrst: :) | 02:04 |
wrst | i have been taking it out on my laptop, actually going to attempt to get / off of the sd card but going to do it a little more "old fashioned" than the tutorial that caused it to crash and burn | 02:05 |
RagnarokAngel | wrst: you burned a raspberry pi? How long did you let it bake for? :-p | 02:09 |
wrst | RagnarokAngel: well just toasted my pride, was attemtping to move / off the sd card onto a usb external hdd and managed to type something wrong and toasted the card | 02:09 |
wrst | following a tutorial and still messed it up :) | 02:10 |
wrst | so had to reinstall | 02:10 |
RagnarokAngel | I came close to doing that to internal memory on my phone. | 02:11 |
wrst | a little more sever on a phone :) | 02:12 |
wrst | severe | 02:15 |
twayneprice | wrst: I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with mine. Or my arduino. | 02:15 |
wrst | twayneprice: i'm doing boring things with the ones I have | 02:16 |
twayneprice | wrst: What os did you put on it? | 02:19 |
wrst | on the one running irc i am running arch, on the print server raspian (debian) and have xbmc on the other one but don't have it hooked up completely yet | 02:20 |
Unit193 | wrst: apt-cache search cherokee on raspian? | 02:22 |
Unit193 | There was one weird package I wasn't sure would be on there..... | 02:22 |
Unit193 | Can't remember what it is.. | 02:22 |
wrst | Unit193: I don't have it running yet, waiting on the USB hub | 02:22 |
Unit193 | Ah, coolio. | 02:23 |
wrst | hopefully this weekend, the wifi doesn't have enough power to run | 02:23 |
wrst | or run for long | 02:24 |
twayneprice | wrst: desktop? | 02:25 |
wrst | on the pi twayneprice? | 02:26 |
twayneprice | yes | 02:26 |
Unit193 | ...Someone wants to remove ifupdown... | 02:26 |
Unit193 | The Moon is Waxing Gibbous (99% of Full) I blame that. | 02:26 |
wrst | none on the little print server and the irc one | 02:26 |
wrst | Unit193: I don't think arch has that command | 02:27 |
Unit193 | Wanted to remove it off xubuntu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5599909/ | 02:34 |
RagnarokAngel | turns out gedit has markdown support! | 02:39 |
RagnarokAngel | I will still fool around with sublime | 02:39 |
Unit193 | Scite or mousepad have it? | 02:40 |
twayneprice | RagnarokAngel: Perfect! I've got about 450 pages left out of about 500 pages that I need to move from word to markdown. | 02:42 |
RagnarokAngel | twayneprice: did you recently start using markdown? | 02:42 |
twayneprice | RagnarokAngel: yes. | 02:43 |
RagnarokAngel | how convenient that I asked in here | 02:43 |
twayneprice | RagnarokAngel: Yup. Timing is everything. :) | 02:43 |
twayneprice | wrst: Maybe I'll make a dropbox clone. http://owncloud.org/ | 02:55 |
