inkscape

linux.conf.au 2009 starts in a little over 2 weeks in Hobart Tasmania...

Will you be there?

Deep into preparations for the Inkscape tutorial I'm giving at linux.conf.au in Hobart in January, I've been practicing techniques and recording them using RecordMyDesktop. It is a Linux application that does exactly what it says, screencast and audio recording of what's happening on screen.  It works very well!

Some time ago some lovely person on the inkscape channel suggested the following fix to my desire to have inkscape default to landscape, full screen when I create a new document. It's become such second nature to me now I don't even think about.

But as I passed this tip on to someone today - it occurred to me it might be worth a wee blog post. Hope someone else out there finds this useful :)

Note: Make a copy of default.svg before embarking on this jiggery pokery - in case reverting to factory settings is required.

I finally got around to bloging about and uploading my inkscape talk slides to my biz site Creative Contingencies - http://www.cc.com.au/inkscape-talk

Also included the refs at the end of the talk - so it's a handy ref I can point people to - also went to the trouble of teasing out the various download links seeing as inkscape is truly cross platform and available for windows, mac and a bunch of different linux distros.
