Barry, I can't help any technically, but I just have to say that you are another Elon Musk, and starting this "making it more formal, and reproducable and useable by anyone." project is like Elon sending his "pet" Roadster to the Asteroid Belt. Now, well, very Soon!, not only wil...

Barry, Please be sure to include SeaMonkey 2.13.1. SeaMonkey 2.12.x has a nasty SVG bug: Bug 790144 - SVG "stroke" hangs SeaMonkey 2.12.x and Firefox 15.0.x. Regression. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790144 That hang seems to happen with any SVG file containing any kind of l...

You might have to reboot after installing the PET, for the libraries to reload.

Worked for me. No reboot needed.

Thanks very much!

Rob, Just thought I'ld test and post data for Psync 2.1 across midnight UTC with UTC ahead of my local timezone. Lucid Puppy 5.25: Psync 2.1: - System Time & Offset to current Hardware Clock: Thu 21 Apr 2011 11:29:51 PM EDT -0.910313 seconds <-- [Time Zone time] - Hardware Time: 22/04/2011 03:29...

Rob,

I finally got a chance to try Psync 2.1.

I think it's ready for Barry & Wolf.
It works as I had hoped all along,
as far as I can tell right now.

Thank you so much, Rob,

Is "BaCon" available for Lucid 5.25? How? I run Lucid 5.25. I installed lupu_devx_525.sfs. Yes, it is in lupu_devx_525.sfs. # bacon # bacon -h It works! How wonderful. Btw, I would like to see a wrapper, or whatever, for Ghostscript. I don't see BaCon docs on how to do that, just a list o...

Hello, I'ld like to tinker a bit with BaCon that Barry talks about. I run Lucid 5.25. I installed lupu_devx_525.sfs. "gcc --help" works, but "bacon --help": ERROR: file not found! I also did Update in PPM. I found no "bacon" PETs there. Is "BaCon" available fo...

Rob, Using your tmp file is better. Then the data reflects the same instant in time, rather than executing hwclock twice as I was doing. So: ### #! /bin/sh echo echo Hardware Clock echo `cat /tmp/psyncreport | grep 'Time read from Hardware Clock:' | cut -d " " -f 6-99` echo echo System Tim...

Please run in a terminal echo `cat /tmp/psyncreport | head -1 | cut -d ":" -f 2-4 | cut -d " " -f 3 ` This should only produce the hardware time. echo `cat /tmp/psyncreport | tail -1 | cut -d " " -f 7-8 ` This should only produce the offset figure ### #! /bin/sh # Plea...

Rob, How about: ---------------- First field title: "Hardware Clock" First field data: 2011/04/15 18:14:54 Second field title: "System Time & Offset" Second field data: Fri 15 Apr 2011 02:14:54 PM EDT -0.121340 seconds ---------------- That way we get the raw, believable data...

Everybody,

Those tick marks on Rob's "echo" command
