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