creating patterns

2000-09-28 Thread Hago Ziegler

Hi,

I try to create a pattern, using a part of a JPG-image.

I already did patterns, sometime I could save it as *.pat, sometimes
not, but I don't know what it's depending of.

Could somebody please describe the exact way to create a pattern?

A stupid question: What is gimp-1.201 and where do I get it ? Via CVS ?

Open the Makefile in '/opt/gimp-1.1.26/plug-ins/perl/po' and search for
`../blib/lib/Gimp.pm'. Than simply delete the line.

Why So Much Smart Money Is So High on Read-Rite !!

Why So Much Smart Money Is So High on Read-Rite
By Herb Greenberg 
Senior Columnist
9/26/00 6:30 AM ET 

Read-Rite(symbol= RDRT)

Feeling benevolent, so let's get bullish: 

Reading right: As I've written in RealMoney.com's Columnist Conversation, the 
one stock quite a few of my smartest sources are yapping about is Read-Rite 
(RDRT:Nasdaq - news - boards), the (until very recently) long-forgotten maker of 
heads for disk drives. The only reason I take it seriously is because of the variety 
of 
investors in the stock (from seasoned and savvy traders to some of the 
most-dogged researchers I know). 

Most of the sizzle surrounding the company in recent weeks has been tied to the 
launch of a new division called Scion Photonics, which is developing optical 
wafers for use in the fiber-optic networks, and which was initially funded with $25 
mil from Tyco Ventures and Roger McNamee's Integral Capital, which got a 
quarter of the company in return. 

But that's only part of the story: 

According to Scott Turkel of TCM Partners, who has had his share of hits and 
misses in this column, and who also happens to be the only on-the-record holder 
among my sources, the company without Scion is worth about where it trades 
today, $10.50, or around 1 times sales. "They're completely sold out in their core 
business in the fourth quarter," he says, "and for the first time, they have pricing 
power." (One reason is that disk drives are no longer sold mostly for PCs; they've 
become a staple in storage networks.) 

Scion, meanwhile, is currently valued at around $100 million (based on 
Tyco/Integral's 25% stake). "Chump change," says Turkel. That's because the 
valuation is without even having a marketable product; the first wafer isn't expected 
to hit the market until next year (which, I should point out, is why some skeptics 
are, uh, skeptical). 

But another very sharp manager I know, who is often short stocks, said he saw 
Read-Rite at several recent conferences, and "I thought the story got better 
between Salomon Smith Barney and Banc of America, both on the optics side 
and on their base business. They actually showed a slide of the optical wafer 
prototype they had made; they said they are sampling product with several 
customers. They said, Our customers have said, 'If you can make them, we'll buy 
them.' In other words, the move to optical is less theoretical than it was a month 
ago." 

What's more, according to this money manger, who is great at spotting nuances, 
"They went from saying, 'We'll be break-even cash flow in Q-4 from core 
businesses,' to saying, 'We are on allocation and we may actually make money in 
Q4' from the core business.' " 

Based on that, Turkel (who first bought the stock when it was $4 not long ago) 
thinks he now owns a $10 stock that is worth $25. 

P.S.: Read-Rite recently paid the first installment of interest on a convertible bond 
with cash, rather than stock, which was an alternative. (The cash came from the 
State of Wisconsin Investment Board, already a large Read-Rite investor.) 
Translation to some investors: The only reason the state paid with cash is because 
it thinks the stock is going higher. Or, put another way, Wisconsin, which already 
owns a 20% stake, wouldn't have sunk in even more cash if it didn't think it would 
make a decent return. (Did I really write something that glowing? Must be some 
kind of a market top!)

Read-Rite CEO gets into growth
By Janet Haney, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: [Timestamp]NewsWatch
Latest headlines
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Read-Rite Chief Executive Officer Alan Lowe waxed positive 
about the future growth prospects for the magnetic-recording-head supplier.

Lowe told a crowd of investors and analysts during a presentation at the Banc of 
America Securities Investment Conference in San Francisco on Thursday that he expects 
huge unit growth potential for Read-Rite's (RDRT: news, msgs) December quarter, as 
well as the possibility of profitability.
Lowe added that the company is hiring people as fast as it can for its wafer 
fabrication facility.
For the September quarter, the CEO said Read-Rite has a "lot of product to ship in the 
last 10 days of the quarter."
Additionally, Lowe talked about Read-Rite's recent formation of an independent fiber 
optic company called Scion Photonics which he said hopes to go public.
Scion received funding from Tyco, which will make a presentation at the conference 
later Thursday.

compile gimp-1.1.26 (error)

2000-09-28 Thread Dominic Knight

Hi, I'm trying to compile gimp-1.1.26 and it fails with the following error,

make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/gimp-1.1.26/plug-ins/perl/po'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../blib/lib/Gimp.pm', needed by `gimp-perl.pot'.  
Stop.

I retried gimp-1.1.24 and 1.1.25 and they both compile fine.

Cheers,
Dominic.

BTW the last question I asked on this list was answered in 8mins 19secs. COOL

I had this same problem, compiling on Solaris 8 x86.

If you just do a 'touch compat10.h' in the main Gimp-1.201 directory, that
should take care of it.

Is this a joke? egroups sends an advertisement with every email. Which

you obviously dont have to download around 500k of spam a day over a modem
link  ;-)
 
at my work address, spam is just a 'd' key away. at home, my old and
trusted account has been picked up by more spammers than "fran-spam the
great spamming man of spam"  (thanks to me using USENET I guess :-|)
and its a consant fight.

I guess when we in the UK finally get access to decent telecomms (eg
33Mb/s cable modem or *proper* ADSL (not the junk 'reduced ADSL' that BT
are offering) then i wont be bothered.


anyway, lets drop this...spam can cause more bandwidth from people
complaining than the original message ever did  ;-)
