Bit of an inside joke…

geek…

more gimp hacking… Made a decent start on a feature I’ve
wanted to add for about 5 years now. “font brushes”. The
idea being you can use a vector font, render it to whatever
size you need, and use it as a brush.

Next steps are to do the ui bits so you can adjust
them.

After that, the obvious next step is SVG brushes.
That would be very cool.

geek:

I did some hacking on gimp last night,
for the first time in years. I just added the ability to sort
color palettes by various metrics to the palette editor. But
I’ve got a couple other ideas in my head.

Since gimp is currently getting close to a 2.2 release, the
patch will probably have to wait. Patch here.

Seem to have gotten a backup done finally. Took
a while.

mv 30gigs to big single partion on new
drive. Have finder hang a few times.
Resort to rsync.

Notice that I need to split it into two
partions, one bootable snapshot, one archive.

mv 30gigs back to internal harddrive.
Have finder hang again, revert to
rsync again.

partion drive into two junks.

mv 30gigs back to second partion.

ccc the main drive to the first
partion.

Only took about 6 hours. Writing
to the external firewire drive seems
faster than writing to internal drive.

I bought a firewire drive for the mac. I’m looking
for suggestions on backup software/strategies/etc
for os x.

I’d like to be able to create a snapshot of
the install. Bootable even better.

I can figure out data archiving myself, but
snapshoting I haven’t a clue whats needed.

I have about 30gigs of data (audio stuff)
to archive, and the rest to snapshot.

I made a little bit more progress on the troubleshooting doc. Started thinking
about how to do the markup. I suppose it should be docbook. Or
some fancy xhtml or whatever it is the cool kids are using these
days.

Also vaguely thinking about setting up a new personal website.
I’ve got likins.com, so might as well. Probably some sort
of blog site I suppose. Probably just swallow the content
out of lj if I can. But that requires picking the right
blog software, tracking down all the useful extensions, and
*gasp* actually designing a web site. And being lazy
and all, that sounds like a lot of work.
