I could > sell eleventy billion copies for sure. I have a list of Harry Potter movies that I don't expect Ms Dowling will EVER allow anyone to make. A number of them involve well-known Potter characters engaged in such activities. Just think of the possibilities of BSDM-related magic!

So break it down into chapters and write each one as a story. > Writing is harder than it looks, and it eats vast amounts of time. Sure does. Have two college degrees in it and been doing it since 1969. But it produces something of lasting value. (Unless you write user manuals. Those have an inherent lifespan, during which they frequently need 2nd, 3rd, etc editions done.) So do a 2nd, updated edition of your Rosegarden book as an ebook! -- David W.

I wasn't going to go there, but yeah, if I could somehow combine Harry Potter with 50 Shades of Grey and then have everybody get killed off every few chapters (combine with Marquis de Sade?) I could sell eleventy billion copies for sure. In reality, I'm never going to write a novel, because I can't turn out a story that goes for more than about 15 pages.

It's a combination of surrounding growth and two extremely brutal winters in a row. Back when I planned all this, it was safe to bet on the high side of average winter temperatures, and that row of shrubs providing my privacy was only about 5' tall. Now the shrubs are 10' tall, and it's hard to maintain a balance between privacy and light penetration.

Add some pron AKA "erotica" and it would be a massive bestseller. Then you could devote your time to music and Rosegarden. David W.

It has been a long time since the last release, and it's also the 10th anniversary of the "total financial failure" that was my ill-fated book. It's also when I finally get to take a train ride, pulled behind a freshly restored steam locomotive. I wouldn't put it past me to figure out a way to get a rose into the same photo as the locomotive, and use that for the new splash screen. Sadly, the iconic Rosegarden rose is nearly dead, so I doubt I will be lucky enough to get another good photo of that one. -- D.

[Rosegarden-user] RG 14.12
Hi, Trying to compile RG 14.12 (it's not in the repository, I currently have RG 13.06) on my Ubuntu Studio 14.10. I checked & installed all the dependencies (except one, as stated below) from http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/dev:contributing I get an error message upon ./configure... > checking for dssi.h... yes > checking X11/SM/SMlib.h usability... no > checking X11/SM/SMlib.h presence... no > checking for X11/SM/SMlib.h... no > configure: error: Failed to find required X11 header X11/SM/SMlib.h I try installing libsm-dev from Synaptic & get a warning message to the effect that the package is broken...
