| [[thufir]] | if a text file is "printed to file" and results in a NON-pdf file, can gost script get it from PCL, or similar, back to PDF? | 16:37.28 |
| robin_watts_mac | For the logs: We did have trouble with godaddy a while ago. | 22:46.35 |
| | The woman on the phone said "ooh, you're breaking our terms and conditions", and I said "Well, we haven't changed what we're doing and it was OK until now" and she shut up. | 22:47.28 |
| | But she got someone to look into it, and confirmed they could see a problem, and a couple of hours later it was fixed. | 22:47.51 |
| | Jogu: Do NOT offer to do backup hosting for downloads.ghostscript.com - we burn through terrabytes a month. | 22:48.23 |
| | All details of the account are in the DownloadsInformation.txt file (or something like that) in my casper home dir. | 22:48.55 |
| rayjj | thufir (for the logs): GhostPDL (pcl6.exe) _might_ be able to get a PDF from the PCL produced. It's worth a try. | 22:56.56 |
| | Note that this is GhostPDL pcl6 *NOT* Ghostscript gs (gswin32.exe). Ghostscript 'gs' (windows gswin32.exe or gswin32c.exe) only handle PostScript input, which, frankly, is better to start with than PCL, and you can install a PostScript printer and print to file easily | 22:57.22 |
| robin_watts_mac | rayjj: I don't think thufir was sure it was PCL. | 22:57.42 |
| rayjj | robin_watts_mac: right. I just noticed that. | 22:58.06 |
| robin_watts_mac | But your answer is right of course; if it's PCL use pcl6.exe, if it's PS or PDF use gs. Otherwise, you're outta luck. | 22:59.00 |
| rayjj | thufir: if you can "Print to file" using a PostScript printer driver (such as the generic "MS Publisher Color Printer") then you will be able to get very reasonable PDF. | 22:59.55 |
| | Most "free" (0r $9.95) "Print to PDF" printer drivers simply capture that output and use Ghostscript to convert the PS to PDF (we recommend PrimoPDF or NitroPDF since they are actually supported customres) | 23:01.25 |
| | robin_watts_mac: how's you holiday going ? | 23:02.09 |
| | robin_watts_mac: como setas | 23:02.27 |
| | como estas (typo) | 23:02.41 |
| robin_watts_mac | Great thanks, have made it through Bolivia alive. | 23:02.42 |
| | Have arrived in Chile (and dropped several thousand feet) | 23:03.02 |
| rayjj | robin_watts_mac: are you with Scott now ? | 23:03.03 |
| robin_watts_mac | Hotels with wifi, heating, hot water, electricity etc. | 23:03.14 |
| | No, will be seeing Scott next tuesday/wednesday or so (I lose track of days) | 23:03.45 |
| rayjj | robin_watts_mac: oh, OK. Chile has high altitude places as well, if I understand the Andes at all | 23:03.55 |
| robin_watts_mac | Yes, we're in the Atacama now. | 23:04.10 |
| | Atacama desert is 2500metres ish. | 23:05.10 |
| rayjj | robin_watts_mac: I got a EVK board from company C (thunderbolt, not falcon) and the SDK. I am in the process (*finally*) of getting the toolchain up | 23:05.11 |
| robin_watts_mac | We were ar 5200 this morning. | 23:05.17 |
| rayjj | 5200m !!! | 23:05.25 |
| robin_watts_mac | rayjj: Ah.Let the burning of hours commence then :( | 23:05.45 |
| | yeah, was the highest I've ever been. | 23:06.38 |
| | We might be going higher briefly in the next few days, but only briefly. | 23:06.54 |
| rayjj | the highest I've ever been was 13,500 ft (~4000m), but I *was* backpacking and carrying about 20 kg | 23:07.15 |
| | I don't think I've even been higher skiing (I don't recall Innsbruck or Whistler altitudes). I know Mammoth is only 10,500 (3200m) at the peak | 23:08.46 |
| | robin_watts_mac: I hope that you didn't go from sea level to 5200m in a short time (as in a plane flight). That way lies lack of blackout | 23:10.50 |
| | s/lack of/likely/ | 23:11.30 |
| robin_watts_mac | no, we flew into La Paz (airport in El Alto at 13000ft, transferred straight to hotel at 10000ft) | 23:11.45 |
| | 2 days in La Paz, then to Uyuni (same height) for 2 nights. | 23:12.08 |
| rayjj | must be strange landing at 13000 ft. Most (at least US commercial) flights are pressurized to 6000 ft | 23:12.45 |
| robin_watts_mac | Helen is on Diamox (diuretic that is supposed to help with altitude sickness), but I am not, as it might interact badly with my eye, apparently. | 23:13.02 |
| | Though my eye has cleared up. | 23:13.08 |
| | I think flights are generally 8500ft. | 23:13.20 |
| rayjj | robin_watts_mac: glad to hear about the eye | 23:13.23 |
| robin_watts_mac | The new dreamliners are 6000ft, which supposedly makes them a lot more comfortable. | 23:13.40 |
| rayjj | robin_watts_mac: might be. Scott would know better :-) | 23:13.41 |
| robin_watts_mac | (or something like that). | 23:13.57 |
| | But, yes, I was waiting for the 'pop' as they opened the plane :) | 23:14.08 |
| | how's your ailment? | 23:14.34 |
| rayjj | still, they must depressurize gradually if the plane was at 8500 ft and outside was 13000 ft, they might not be able to get the door open (a LOT of area) | 23:14.45 |
| robin_watts_mac | yeah, I'm sure they must adjust on descent. | 23:15.17 |
| rayjj | robin_watts_mac: well, the blink still isn't back, nor the full motion of the mouth, but muscles tension on the afflicted (left) side is better. I see pictures from March and it was a *LOT* worse | 23:15.57 |
| | my smile isn't as scary now as it was :-? | 23:16.28 |
| robin_watts_mac | every time we see you it's noticably better. | 23:17.04 |
| rayjj | probably by Halloween I'll even need a mask ;-) | 23:17.24 |
| robin_watts_mac | hehe | 23:17.35 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2014/08/03)>>> | |
