Nice read, very nice read man, keep up the good work, and keeping the masses entertained.

Oops, you got a fact wrong, kensei's don't wear armor, check the D&D rules, they can't ever wear an armor, they are one with their swords and do not rely but on their swords for offense and defense.

PS: I'll try the roundhouse thing laterz.

Superb stuff - especially liked 'grepp' ( it's in my .bashrc now ).

Keep 'em coming...

Oops is right... guess you learn something new every day! Thanks for the correction Kensai. The reference in question has been fixed... hopefully before too many people saw our little SNAFU.

That was a neat tip, wasn't it... Hoping that he'll package a version for AUR soon. If he doesn't, maybe I will, with his permission of course...

HEH, now I have to download it again, what a waste of bandwidth, so good here it is not limited.

Great job! Archinit looks very interesting!

kjon · 2009-05-02 20:37:58

may i ask something? which program did you use to create the magazine? I don't think it's made on openoffice. Isn't it?

That would be fine by me, believe it or not, I haven't ever delved much into packaging things for Arch. I guess it's just not my cup of tea
I much prefer doing other things to help the Arch community, plus, time is sometimes an issue for me.

I like the way the formatting turned out in this issue much better, great job ! Your getting very good with Scribus. You may end up having to write an article on how you set everything up for the magazine, might make an interesting tutorial.

I'll have the package done by tomorrow, and thanks for the praise!

Great read! ASCII WARS was the highlight for me. grepp looks useful too.
