Re: [PLUG] Portland Swift Linux

2011-09-18 Thread Neal
The first thought I had for a Portland band was Everclear, followed by
Seafood Mama / Quarterflash. Make three (four?) versions if you want
to include Decemberists as the bands differ quite a bit.

[PLUG] Printing envelopes with postage - Linux apps?

2011-09-18 Thread Keith Lofstrom
Workflow would be simpler in my wife's new office if we could 
print envelopes with postage - one operation rather than three.
There are apps for PC and Mac that do this.  Is there anything
available for Linux, or a webapp accessable with a browser?

I may have to buy a Mac Mini.  At least they run BSD, and
I can kinda trust one connected to the internet through a
firewall.  I hope I can bring up a Mac app with SSH -X
from Linux desktops elsewhere in the office, perhaps even
drive it from a script (permitting more automation).

Have you tried loading the Windows app in the latest wine?

Dazzle runs on wine, though it is very clunky to use and you have to 
type your password whenever it starts because of a wine-related(?) bug 
in retrieving the password from the registry.  I keep it running by 
itself in a VNC session and only speak to it via the XML interface 
(which is attached with duct tape and activated via the windows 
command-line).  It prints to a postscript file (courtesy of CUPS) and 
all of this is managed by the app and DB which have much more to do 
than print postage.

Endicia also has an enterprise server solution, which I'm guessing 
is exactly the same as what you would find by sniffing the network 
traffic off of the dazzle desktop software, but it took a week for 
an enterprise sales representative to write back to me with no useful 
information.  I imagine that someone will have to violate the terms of 
service to make and publish something which allows endicia's customers 
to use Linux without so much hassle.
