Something to collect disparate pieces of information with that can organize and present it. For web pages, the scrapbook extension for Firefox works pretty well: http://amb.vis.ne.jp/mozilla/scrapbook/ It is an add-on popular enough to have spawned its own set of extensions. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You can do something like this: java -jar /path/to/src/jarnal-current/jarnal.jar -t /path/to/src/jarnal-current/annotate.jaj -b foo.pdf Make an alias for that, and you're all set.

On Wed, 25 Jul 2007 09:29:52 +, Thufir wrote: The tools I found are Xfig and flpsed. Xfig is a general image editor, while flpsed is specifically for marking up PDF files. It's important to note that neither of these programs can actually edit PDF files. Rather, they can be used to add new text and graphics on top of the file. This is generally all you need for filling out typical business forms such as contracts. Jarnal is the best tool I've seen for this purpose so far. You can load a PDF as a background, paint/write all over it and export the result as PDF again. No ebuild, though. Roger -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] headphones don't work since upgrade to kernel 2.6.19???

You could try 2.6.21-rc5 and see if that helps. Roger -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Whether you suggested; Unison File Synchronizer http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ Yes. One of the more underestimated tools, presumably due to rsync's popularity. It's in portage, so emerge unison should work. I'm trying to find out whether real time synchronization is possible, unison in batch mode (-batch) triggered by umount (as suggested by others) should be close enough.
