I just lost a whole toolbox full of lovely (high quality) new tools. They were on board the wave-rig I've spent the last 3 years working on - when it capsized last week... oops. (I was also on board some minutes before it went over!). At some point the lost work and effort will dawn on me - for now I'm just cross about my lost tools. It is nice to see that some of the gEDA community is still out there and active, but I don't think this thread is going to aid development effort nor uptake by new users. By all means, help people who want to learn a "make" based work flow.. but keep to the technical specifics - and direct it towards those who want to learn. For me, please... ** No more analogies which will remind me of my lost tools. ** ** No more ranting - life is too short. ** I'm looking on all of this in the context of how trivial gEDA/gaf is compared to $real_world. A number of people (including myself) are lucky to be alive and uninjured after the wave rig went down. Perhaps I'm still not that well adjusted on what matters though - I'm still more brothered about my lost tools than $scary_experience. ;) All the best, -- Peter Clifton <pc...@cam.ac.uk> _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
