| 14:16:32 | Mecworks | Bradipo: How'zit? |
| 14:37:13 | Bradipo | Not bad. |
| 14:44:47 | Mecworks | cool |
| 14:45:00 | Bradipo | It's actually cooler outside. |
| 14:46:10 | Bradipo | Checkout this uptime on one of our FreeS/Wan boxes: |
| 14:46:12 | Bradipo | 8:51am up 478 days, 19:58, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00 |
| 14:46:20 | Mecworks | nice! |
| 14:46:31 | Bradipo | Indeed. |
| 14:46:33 | Bradipo | I'm surprised. |
| 14:46:42 | Bradipo | There haven't been any power problems or anything. |
| 14:46:54 | Mecworks | Hey, it looks like I'll be presenting on Linux and GPS at the upcoming CTS confrence in Sept. |
| 14:47:10 | Mecworks | yes, that uptime is very impressive. |
| 14:47:12 | Bradipo | What is CTS? |
| 14:47:33 | Mecworks | Of course, your should really have a comertal solution to be vialble in a business... |
| 14:47:44 | Mecworks | (ha ha ha) |
| 14:47:49 | Bradipo | Oh yeah, free software sucks. |
| 14:47:55 | Mecworks | Computer and Technology Showcase. |
| 14:48:02 | Mecworks | 8^) |
| 14:48:05 | Bradipo | Cool, where is it going to be? |
| 14:48:27 | Mecworks | up at the Salt Palace Convention Center in September. |
| 14:48:37 | Bradipo | Excellent. |
| 14:48:52 | Mecworks | SLLUG was given a 10x20 booth and a whole track of talks to fill during the two days. |
| 14:49:13 | Bradipo | Is there a webpage up for all the tracks? |
| 14:49:23 | Mecworks | yea, right now, we have all the slots filled with talks. THere's not a page yet. |
| 14:49:26 | Mecworks | There will be. |
| 14:50:16 | Mecworks | we had to get the schedule out to the show organizers so that they can print things and get other information ready for the show. |
| 14:50:44 | Bradipo | Well, if I have some free time, I think it would be great to see the GPS action. |
| 14:51:25 | Mecworks | cool. It will be the last presentation on the first day |
| 15:42:00 | Bradipo | Poor ibot. |
| 18:59:43 | Bonez39 | greetings... |
| 19:00:33 | Bonez39 | Here's my question for the day...My wife does business with an illustrator who uses Quark or Quark Express....what application in linux will read and write the quark express file format? |
| 19:16:46 | fozz | Unfortunately, a lot of people have that question. :) |
| 19:17:02 | fozz | I'm not aware of any Quark-compatible apps for Linux yet. |
| 19:17:25 | fozz | Adobe _was_ working on a FrameMaker port for Linux and then abandoned that. |
| 19:36:19 | Bonez39 | I don't get it....I would gladly PAY.....for a product to run on linux......same as with windows......I am not looking for a freebie....why do developers fail to realize that linux users would pay for quality ports of popular windows apps |
| 19:52:30 | Mecworks | I don't think that it's a question if there are people willing to pay for it. I think that's always been the case. I think it's an issue of how many people are willing to pay for it. Once you get the port done, there's also support issues and maintanance that goes along with a product. A company has to justify all that commitment to an OS an _possible_ customer base before even starting the port. Most busineses arn't willing to take the risk |
| 19:55:01 | Bonez39 | I imagine so....sounds logical ..... sad but true |
| 20:00:10 | Bonez39 | a case in point...for my work, as a chiropractor..I think a lot of chiros would jump over to linux if there were a native application for handling patient accounts, billings, etc....it would be a boost to the company who dares to venture into linuxland first..and have the first app on the block....yet, none seem willing to try. |
| 20:05:22 | Mecworks | I think there is something like that for Linux. Check on Freshmeat.net. THere's some medical tracking/billing software I beleive. |
| 20:05:47 | Mecworks | I haven't looked at it but remember reading the releases. |
| 20:09:01 | Mecworks | I searched for "medical" and found some interesting hits. I don't know if thoese are what you are looking for. |
| 20:09:51 | Bonez39 | I'll hit freshmeat now..and see.... |
| 20:26:20 | Bonez39 | here's another question....at present on my KDE 2.1 desktop, I have an icon for Netscape 4.7. How do I add an icon for Mozilla 1.0 to my taskbar? |
| 20:30:59 | Mecworks | I don't have kde 2.1 in front of me but there's an item in the pop-up meue for the Panel. In there, there is a place to add items to the panel. I think there should be similar on 2.1 Also, try right clicking on the panel for a meue (it might have tools there). |
| 20:36:01 | Bonez39 | thanks |
| 21:30:52 | Bonez39 | greetings. |
| 21:31:07 | Bonez39 | oh, I hate windows....takes forever to load.... |
| 21:39:28 | Bonez39 | anyone around? |
| 21:40:50 | Bonez39 | here's another question...how can I make the default browser i.e., when I type www.domainname.com at a prompt, to have my system default to Mozilla? Now, it defaults to Konqueror as the browser. |
