Putting Technology into the Hands of Tomorrow....Today
,----[ Quote ]
| Skip Guenter is a Director for The HeliOS
| Project so one would expect him to put in a
| little extra effort but Skip passed "a little
| extra" sometime in early May. Skip worked
| dozens of his own hours to get equipment
| running, computers operational and things
| organized for the technical side of the room.
| I also want to thank Ron West for his
| dedication to what we do and the sweat equity
| he put into Linux Against Poverty. What many
| people did not see was the pre-activities
| prior to LAP.

Another One Bites the Dust

| I installed a raft of games, vlc, xawtv,
| sound-juicer, childsplay, gcompris, ktouch and
| google-chrome as well as the default stuff for
| an XFCE4 desktop. A webcam from Logitech
| worked and I left a self-portrait on the
| desktopâ I expect the owner will change that
| quickly.

A standard Windows desktop is useless

| I type, LyX does the layout. Creating a PDF
| is painless. With eLyXer HTML creation is
| easy - and boy, does it look good. With
| LaTeX2RTF I can create those @#$% Word
| documents the whole world seems to be craving
| for. I written my entire 4tH manual with LyX,
| which is over 450 densely written letter-size
| pages - with graphics. No problem. Making
| references, bibliographies or a simple table
| of contents, it's just a few quick clicks
| away. I fire LyX up, adjust the document
| properties and I'm away. I type the title, my
| name, indicate this is the "title" and
| "author" and begin my first section.
| Highlight the section title, indicate this is
| a "section" and off we go. That's how you
| produce content. Needless to say that once
| you've put an image somewhere that it doesn't
| move anymore - and certainly isn't overlaid.
