[01:46] <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?
[01:50] <wrst> hey RagnarokAngel
[01:50] <RagnarokAngel> hey wrst
[01:51] <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
[01:52] <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
[01:53] <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
[01:54] <twayneprice> RagnarokAngel: I'm a fan of textpad and sublime.  Markdown is good too if you are wanting to format later.
[01:56] <wrst> I have never used sublime but I have heard its good, but of course I'm not a programmer
[01:57] <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
[01:58] <RagnarokAngel> so a basic .txt file is usually a good starting point
[01:59] <twayneprice> You should take a look at markdown and its variations.  http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/epub.html
[02:03] <RagnarokAngel> twayneprice: thanks so much this is intuitive and is basically what I'm looking to do
[02:03] <twayneprice> RagnarokAngel: happy to help.  :)
[02:04] <wrst> twayneprice: I have made it two days without blowing the raspberry pi up
[02:04] <twayneprice> wrst: :)
[02:05] <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
[02:09] <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
[02:10] <wrst> following a tutorial and still messed it up :)
[02:10] <wrst> so had to reinstall
[02:11] <RagnarokAngel> I came close to doing that to internal memory on my phone.
[02:12] <wrst> a little more sever on a phone :)
[02:15] <wrst> severe
[02:15] <twayneprice> wrst: I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with mine.  Or my arduino.
[02:16] <wrst> twayneprice: i'm doing boring things with the ones I have
[02:19] <twayneprice> wrst: What os did you put on it?
[02:20] <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
[02:22] <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
[02:23] <Unit193> Ah, coolio.
[02:23] <wrst> hopefully this weekend, the wifi doesn't have enough power to run
[02:24] <wrst> or run for long
[02:25] <twayneprice> wrst: desktop?
[02:26] <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
[02:27] <wrst> Unit193: I don't think arch has that command
[02:34] <Unit193> Wanted to remove it off xubuntu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5599909/
[02:39] <RagnarokAngel> turns out gedit has markdown support!
[02:39] <RagnarokAngel> I will still fool around with sublime
[02:40] <Unit193> Scite or mousepad have it?
[02:42] <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?
[02:43] <twayneprice> RagnarokAngel: yes.
[02:43] <RagnarokAngel> how convenient that I asked in here
[02:43] <twayneprice> RagnarokAngel: Yup.  Timing is everything.  :)
[02:55] <twayneprice> wrst: Maybe I'll make a dropbox clone.  http://owncloud.org/
