babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.

There's one on the spot in the road where Kennedy was assassinated. I saw a pic this evening of my brother in law standing on it.

I wondered how often they have to repaint it.

I miss being able to get vertical colums of x to be spaced as close together as horizontal rows of x, so we could actually create interesting artwork out of various cmbinations of x.

LT, press shift+enter when you do a carriage return and you will only skip one line instead of two.

Thanks for the tip, CF!

Unfortunately, even though Shift-Enter indeed created single line spaces, they turned into the usual double space upon posting. Or, on second thought, maybe 1.5 space. Why?

The XFCE Desktop Environment...for GNU/Linux and Unix operating systems.    Use it if your computer is a little on the old side...turns your slowpoke computer into a quick little mouse!

Not only that... I find the new fedora desktop kind of stupid (as in.... there is none). XFCE is like old fedora, and that's why I put that option on one of our laptops.

Plus... there's plain old: X

I'm running Voyager Linux on my main desktop.   It's a re-spin of Xubuntu but with a much prettier XFCE desktop.   Also run the XFCE version of Linux Mint Debian Edition on my old Thinkpad laptop.

"X" marks the spot ... for buried treasure!
