Linux Fool, Latest Fun
CL
decided to turn back the clock and try from scratch. And ... we have
success of a sort. What worked was:
1. Install scim-1.2.3
2. Install anthy-9100. The 9026 version recommended by Robb turned out
to be "anthy-ss" and I am not sure what the "ss" packages are. As it
turns out, neither does anyone else I know. Or, if they do, they're not
telling.
3. Install scim-anthy-1.2.3
No explosions, no fires, nothing melted. Then again, I still have yet
to run any setup or configuration, but I made it all the way to "make
install" with nothing breaking. Three times in a row. !
I am withholding the Snoopy dance announcements until I know more about
actually configuring what I installed.
The next stupid question is, now that I have unpacked and installed the
files, do I keep the folders that were created when I untarred the
original files or can I erase them?

Always keep the packing and the receipt. You never know if you want to
return it.

Better keep them around, unless you're running out of disk space.
For stuff you compiled on your own, having the build directory around
allows you to run 'make uninstall' if you ever want to get rid of
whatever you complied & installed.

You can erase them, but you may want to hang on to them because, as Wim
suggests, you might want to run make uninstall to remove the installed
stuff.

While I do appreciate breasts, I wouldn't be able to run a profitable
business, which I think marks a distinct different between me and Wim.
(Yeah, whatever, just feeling very nitpicky today.)

Well, if you ever come across a way to make money by appreciating breasts,
let me know.

If you mean "appreciating" in the sense of "gaining in a quantity," go to
med school and specialize in cosmetic surgery.

Actually, I was thinking about something less gory, like, you know,
touching. Or even just saying "what a nice pair".

While Wim prefers breasts, I thought you better liked the entire package,
although without the usual dependencies.
I was referring to Wim's keeping the packaging in case Charlie wanted to
return it to the store where he got it. (Your post hadn't arrived here
until after I had sent mine.)

A former colleague of mine founded a publishing company that prints
nothing but a standard format 48-page full-contact sex book every
Friday. He's always looking for editors to supervise the photography
and handle the layout. You'd also have the opportunity to handle the
model ... or should that be fondle the model ... or, lay out the model ...
They print 25,000 copies each week and the entire production run is sold
before the ink is dry., They sell by subscription and deliver to sex
shops by courier. Pre-payment comes in cash.
He's a multi-millionaire.

The man in question was a sleazebag with two suits and a seven year old
car when we worked together 20-odd years ago. Now, he's a sleazebag
with a new car and he has an assistant to make sure his clothes get
washed and new ones get bought. He still smokes Short Hope cigarettes,
wears mostly plaid, usually several different plaids at once, and he
gets the oil on his hair changed once a day instead of weekly.

Not really that much: some of them are so obviously fake

Ok, what exactly do you mean by my preference for the 'entire package' and

Right, take the moral high road now. You were the one who started in about
wanting to be a breast inspector. Now it turns out you are really just a
typical boob snob. I think that if you won't inspect any breast,
regardless of your opinion of its quality, you have no right to the job.

Knowledge of the usual dependencies is restricted to those who've entered
the state of marital bliss. Entry is barred to those who are unaware that
there is an entire package.

Amen, brother Asher. An eclectic appreciation of the varieties of the
human tit is the primary requirement for the job. Granted, those that
resemble almost completely deflated balloons, such as patients 8, 11, or
more particularly patient 17's sad and downcast no-fun bags, do seem
esthetically improved; but others such as 3 to 5, or 12, for example, are
perfectly attractive as were, and the surely have lost in tactile qualities
what they may have gained in visual impact. And yet others (10, 18, and
most egregiously 14) have gone over the line to wretched excess.

You'd have to combine those with an eye for page layout and no allergy
to penicillin or other basic STD treatments. Editorial skill with a
razor might also be a plus, especially if you consider being able to
shave the Subject a job benefit.
They don't use much Tex, but there is a need for lots of latex. You'd
need to show a willingness to wear silicone if you develop a sensitivity
to the natural stuff.

On the contrary, as a boob inspector I *would* inspect any breast, but
I was mentioning that wouldn't say "what a nice pair", unless *that*
was my job, also to obvious fakes.

Wait, as an editor I would need to have hands-on experience
of the subjects?

No, you don't *have* to have hands-on (or other-on) experience of the
subjects. Frankly, there have been some who have been a sure cure for
lustful thoughts of any type, but there is a certain market that pays a
premium for *that* kind of .... thing.
But, if you don't partake occasionally, just don't think the gay jokes
are directed at you and you'll be fine.

Believe me, there are some ideas you don't want to have and some you
regret ever having had. A certain number of his models are fully
qualified as coyote trap girls. But, it gives the occasional good ones
an extra cachet they would not have had except for the ... situation (I
almost wrote "position" but, in his books that equals "any" and
"sometimes more than one at once").

The photographers and assistants who work for this guy are the kind of
people who would make sure you got the joke.

I think all ideas are worth having. Not all of them may be worth
implementing, but this should never be a preemptive filter on
brainstorming.
