Hi, what keeps deleting files and directories under /var/run? Having them deleted is extremely annoying because after a reboot, things are suddenly broken because services don?t start.

I appreciate the parable of helping non-technical users (or, more precisely, users not keen on IT). As I understand, placement of software like Word or Photoshop servers this purpose. But both of them have decent open-source counterparts, and they are better fit for an rsync manual. Or, if from any reason proprietary software is preferred in this context (perhaps because it generates even more

ok, i waited for 2 weeks, and still no votes -- none! -- on whether my posts are sufficiently on-topic, or not... and that basically confirms what i suspected all along, which is that no one really cares one way or the other. even the guys who put up the bitchy posts are probably just having a bad day, and they don't have a dog to kick, and the wife made 'em stop smoking herb, so they

godspeed, steve. thanks for giving us the tools to catch fish. -bowerbird -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/markdown-discuss/attachments/20111006/3e1c11bd/attachment.htm>

brett terpstra continues his obsession with markdown... > http://fuckyeahmarkdown.com/ there's also a g-rated version: > http://heckyesmarkdown.com/ brett has accomplished more in the last three months than this listserve accomplished in the last three years. and it looks like he's only just getting started... meanwhile, fletcher is about to send off his rocket, which

i'll be doing some experiments myself, but i thought i'd ask here first about back-translation and round-tripping with markdown and its xhtml output. the object is to take markdown output, reduce it back to a markdown text-file, then regenerate the output again and compare it with the "original" output, repeating if necessary until there exists a pair of files that give perfect

Call to Action! For those who have the courage/ability, go grab an SVN copy of the asterisk release, the HEAD version, and my latest patch, from: http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=6021 Right now, the latest version of the patch is 0.10. apply it to the SVN head version, and do a "make". Read the Wiki on AEL2: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+AEL2 Look at the examples

spring has sprung, so on this day of grass, i guess i just can't hold this back any more. > http://zenmagiclove.com/aarp2.py voila. a dingus for zen markup language. lighter than markdown. _and_ more powerful... i know. wha? go figure. not that it's a competition. supporters will love finally seeing a look. detractors will love the bugs i left in there, just for them, as

this is fascinating: > http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/08/05/markdown-uti i don't know (and don't care about) any possible significance of such a pronouncement on a "uniform type indicator", but i think that it's interesting that gruber has decided to make _any_ type of statement on markdown, with the big moves now underfoot, and doubly so when he chooses to

so, the rumor is that apple will announce an authoring-tool for e-books tomorrow, and most specifically for digital text-books. and, if you look closely, they _are_ rumors. nothing more... plus, they don't even seem to be coming from sources inside of apple. nonetheless, the rumor is "authoring tools". "garageband for e-books", as ars called it... if it's true,

so much for the markdown listserve grapevine... it ends up that there has been a markdown-savvy display-in-real-time app for a couple months now, by the name of "macchiato", coded by a college kid. > http://getmacchiato.com > http://kswizz.com/post/8624456381/macchiato > http://mac.onedayoneapp.com/macchiato/ > http://shawnblanc.net/2011/08/macchiato/ >

here's a little present for y'all... > http://jaguarps.com/tools/jaguar-editor-727.png that's a screenshot of my latest project... i've slapped a little text-editor in front of my e-book conversion routines, so that the feedback loop becomes much tighter, goosing the learning process considerably. no more mystery about whether it's right; if it looks correct in the

they say that deaths come in threes... for me, it was these: 1. scott wannberg, los angeles poet, one of my favorite performers 2. michael hart, founder of project gutenberg, icon and iconoclast 3. steve jobs, seemingly the only guy who made stuff work correctly i'm sure that for others, dennis ritchie is on their list, for his own trio: 1. c 2. k&r 3. unix godspeed to all

big congratulations to fletcher penney on his release of "multimarkdown composer". at #21-paid when i purchased it just now. i'd say $9.99 will be best in the long-term -- don't listen to people who say more -- but $7.99 is the _right_ introductory price. word-of-mouth will be what sells this pup, so you want it to flow copiously right now. -bowerbird -------------- next part

"multimarkdown composer" has been out for 4 weeks now, so let's mosey on over to the app store to see what it says... "composer" is #184 in productivity apps, a bit disappointing, considering that it was in the top-20 when it first came out... it's gained only 5 reviews over the 18 it had right off the bat. perhaps even more surprising, to some, is that

to nobody in particular, and all of you markdown in general! *** i fully understand why it "seems" straightforward to you. but you're doing it ass-backward. if you're trying to develop a parser, you're doing it backward. you need to start with the end-user. figure out how you're gonna explain it to the average person. then work your way back from there. i've
