Scribus 1.1.6

[Ug]

You can read my Scribus review here (http://madpenguin.org/Article1284.html).

I got it posted on Madpenguin.

Congrats Ug, you have been /.'d!!!!


It takes a great article to get on Slashdot's front page:

http://slashdot.org/

None of mine have been there yet!!! :mad:


WELL DONE!!!! :D

[Ug]

Bloody hell, I've been slashdotted.

I can't even reach the article anymore. :D This is pretty good. ;)

I'm also writing the Fedora Core 2 review for MadPenguin.

[Ug]

Sorry Tux, for getting the site slashdotted. ;)

[ewdi]

no wonder server was heavy yesterday hahahah :p
our server is down for madpenguin, got to reboot them.

[Ug]

Like i said, I'm guilty. :eek:

[ewdi]

hahahah yeah, i would blame the nuke script though, they are too heavy. the server is P4 3.0 with 1024MB DDR Ram and RAID, it should hold enough traffic, but not with nukes :p

[Ug]

I'm gonna write another review, so here's to hoping for another slashdot. ;)

[ewdi]

post it on our article section too, we have empty spot on review section hahaha

[Ug]

I will do later. (I'm sitting in an ICT class atm, trying to pay attention)

Well done ug, now it's going to be a week before I can get a chance to read it! :D

[Ug]

:p Madpenguin is still down...

[ewdi]

i already rebooted it and adam said it was up for a while and went down again, postnuke really kills the machine. We gonna change madpenguin frompostnuke to nephp.com cms soon

[Ug]

Yea, its certainly not the first time Postnukes killed it.

Its dead again. :eek:

I got approached by a guy from O'reilly today. They're willing to pay me for any articles which I write and they publish, providing that I don't reproduce it anywhere else for 30 days.

You are very lucky :) Would you mind to let me translate some of your articles ? (the old ones and the new after 30 days ;) )

[Ug]

No problem. ;)

Whaooo, that's great news for you. If you got the time, go ahead...

Translations can be quite funny. You should see our page:

If you click the google ones, ie English to Spanish, I am Henrio De Gavin :)

[ghenry]

O'reilly, really? That's brilliant. How much? That's not fair :(

Oh, the link in the original article should have a lowercase s, not a S in Scribus, as the link is broken.

Sorry, that's a long way of saying the link is dead for the Fedora rpm.

Great news though.

Bout $50 - $100 an article.

Wow, that's really not bad :cool:

Will you become toffee-nosed and wont speak with us little people :D

[Ug]

Obviously.

Nah, course I won't. To be honest it hasn't exactly bothered me - its a nice thought and all but no more than that really.

I'm really scratching my head for something to write about though. I know that I'm gonna produce a Gnucash review at some point for MadPenguin and have also been promised the chance of reviewing FC2 for them.

Other than that I'm really wondering what I could write about. I want something thats gonna be interesting, i've just not decided what software to do as of yet.

[Ug]

Current ideas include:

mplayer - with some speculation following their licencing stuff and staff leaving
GIMP 2 - I haven't seen any GIMP 2 reviews as of such yet, and I think it would be interesting to do one.
rhythym box - explore rhythym box a bit more and its plans for the future, seeing as the rumour mill has said that it may replace XMMS in FC3

thoughts?

[ewdi]

write about GIMP2, it's amazing how close they are to what advanced graphics tools in the market

[ilja]

I would make the list of priority:
1st GIMP
2nd mplayer
3rd rhythym box

Why?
GIMP is I think one of the most important projects of Linux. I know allmost everyone uses GIMP, who uses Linux and there are a lot of people out there using GWIMP on their Windows machine. So a review would be very good.
mplayer becomes very strong in last time. When I began to play with Linux xmms was the one and only thing for multimedia. But now I hear more and more about users, who change to mplayer, but it is very full of mistery. So some explanations about it, would be also nice.
And rhythym box , I don't like it and so for me it is not worth to be reviewed, but it is very much subjectiv.

Wow, awesome work Ug! That is really awesome about O'Reilly too! *turns green* ;) Where did you submit your review btw? Through the news submission? Are you part of the staff?

[Ug]

Staff ;)
