I realized that I do have a smallish file that I've been tinkering with that would do for these purposes: We'll call it SVG Sample. I'm still annoyed that there isn't any documentation of how Dia handles SVGs, but I'll get over that. Or I won't, but ...
I do these things to make myself crazy. I use command line tools and free software and I call it cool. From time to time, however, I hit against these walls where there is something I cannot do and cannot find my way around doing and I spent an eternity ...
I'll spare you the details of my recent downward spiral of circular exchanges with Cablevision customer service (can a circular exchange spiral downward? I'm not sure.) because I lack the energy for a blow-by-blow. Suffice to say that their might army of help desk automatons has reached new lows.
Inkscape. Create an SVG flowchart in Graph::Easy, save the .svg and open it in Inkscape. Ungroup. That is all. I was trying to do this in Dia, which was making me crazy because it wouldn't let me ungroup the vector graphics that made up my flowchart.
Tinkering with creating a bootable USB disk with which to install Feisty on Brahms. Tried on round of effort and got to a boot error. One how-to at my disposal suggests repartitioning the stick with cfdisk /dev/sdb That got me to this fine error FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 0: ...

I'm trying to get Trac running, halfheartedly following some instructions for installing Trac on Dreamhost, but they don't make any sense, so I tried some script thing that seemed to work, generally, but leaves me a foot short of the finish line. My installation doesn't quite work, ...
I've managed to avoid encrypting my email thus far because encryption isn't secure, it is silly. Or I can make it sound silly if I talk about it enough. Plus I don't do anything interesting. Now, though, I want help from this developer and he wants to communicate entirely ...
I'm working on the whole "not that sort of blog" thing. I don't want to whine. Or, I do want to whine, but I won't. So no "ten things I hate about you, oh world." Still, yesterday, I took the train and sat below a woman with deep bags under ...
I'm puzzling madly over this. How to get a chart to move over, then down. And over. Then down. It should be straightforward, but I can't work it out. I've tried a lot of things.
