Thanks Brian. I've tried some of those already, but there's a couple that are new to me, and may be useful. I'll go through them next chance I get, and see if something will work :^)

I've played around with librecad(closest thing to autocad), and near as I can tell, it won't do what I'd find most useful. I don't think basic autocad will either. You need one of the addon packages to add survey functions. What I want to be able to do is import a plan sheet, click on lines on...

The only time linux falls flat is when you *need* windows software. At work, that would be autocad plus survey addons. I don't do autocad though, and xubuntu handles everything else I need. Well, mostly. I have win 2kpro running in a virtual machine for the sole purpose of interfacing with my...

I've been totally off windows since 2009. Don't miss it at all. I use debian at home, and xubuntu at work; both with xfce desktop. It's update time this year for xubuntu. I may do a clean install. My work machine is 32bit, cause I took the hd out of a netbook, plugged it in, and have been using...

Yea, I really don't like the phone though. It's great that it'll fit in my pocket, and I can use it in bed or out and about, but I like a real keyboard, and full featured computer. I have firefox sync on all my machines. I should probably open the page on the phone when I think of something...

I get satisfaction out of making something from nothing. It's only partly about money. Every penny I save on something not fun can go towards something that is. More interestingly, I like taking something destined for the landfill, and making it useful. I make a lot of my supplies scavenging...

If it isn't terribly hard to line, I like the the idea of wood. No waste. When it's time to replace, you can put it in your stove. Or just throw it on the ground. No problems.

Nice job on that scabbard. Looks professional.
