MY'STORY

The MOVE Fire

This is a personal recollection on the Move fire on May 13, 1985 Philadelphia police fired thousands of rounds at the MOVE house, city officials approved dropping an explosive device on the roof, the resulting fire was allowed to burn, 11 people—including five children—died, and 61 homes were destroyed. Philadelphia City Council later called it a “brutal attack carried out by the City of Philadelphia on its own citizens” and acknowledged that no individual faced criminal consequences for the bombing. One timeline correction worth preserving for the BHP record: the major previous MOVE-police confrontation was August 8, 1978, about seven years before the bombing, not a year or two earlier. Officer James Ramp was killed, other police and firefighters were wounded, nine MOVE members were later convicted, and television cameras recorded police beating Delbert Africa during his arrest. The 1985 MOVE Commission later specifically criticized city planners for failing to adequately use lessons from that 1978 confrontation. And that actually strengthens the point you’re making: 1985 did not happen without precedent or institutional memory. There had already been a deadly confrontation with MOVE, years of conflict, negotiations and police involvement before Osage Avenue.

Gnote is a free and open-source desktop note-taking application written for Linux, cloned by Hubert Figuière from Tomboy.[2] It uses a Wiki-like linking system to connect notes together. Gnote is part of the GNOME desktop environment, often filling the need for personal information management. The main principle is a notepad with a wiki-style interface. Words in the note body that match existing note titles automatically become hyperlinks, allowing for the management of large libraries of personal information, such as references to favorite artists that would then automatically be highlighted in notes containing their names. Plugins extend the program to include functionality like exporting to HTML and printing support. As of version 0.8.0, Gnote has been ported to GTK+3.

History and uses

[edit]

Gnote was created as a clone of Tomboy written in C++, to remove the dependency on Mono. Its release caused a minor controversy when the creator was accused of having an anti-Mono agenda. This prompted him to explain that Gnote was written as an exercise in porting Mono applications and that it provides a note-taking application for environments that are unable to fit the Mono framework.[2] The program is included in Fedora,[3] which dropped Mono from the Live CD installation disc, due to lack of space.[4]

Some Linux-compatible hardware platforms are not officially supported by Mono, and thus cannot run Tomboy or other Mono software. On these platforms and any other, Gnote can be used as a drop-in replacement for Tomboy.

Since version 3.5, Gnote has used GNOME version numbering scheme.[5]

Features

[edit]

Some of the editing features supported by Gnote include:

  • Link to other notes
  • Style text (bold, italic, strikeout, highlight)
  • Change font size
  • Create bulleted lists
  • Undo and redo

Plugins

[edit]

Gnote supports plugins that add functionality:

  • Print individual notes
  • Sticky Notes importer
  • Export single notes to HTML
  • Bugzilla links
  • Fixed width text
  • Tomboy importer
  • Backlinks, to see which notes link to the current note
  • Underline text
  • Insert timestamp
  • Table of content

Inkscape

Inkscape is a free and open-source software vector graphics editor released under a GNU General Public License (GPL) 2.0 or later. It is used for both artistic and technical illustrations such as cartoons, clip art, logos, typography, diagrams, and flowcharts. It uses vector graphics to allow for sharp printouts and renderings at unlimited resolution and is not bound to a fixed number of pixels like raster graphics. Inkscape uses Scalable Vector Graphics (SVGs) as its main file format. It can import and export various file formats, including Adobe Illustrator (AI), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), PDF, PostScript (PS) and PNG. Inkscape can render primitive vector shapes (e.g. rectangles, ellipses, polygons, arcs, spirals, stars and 3D boxes) and text. These objects may be filled with solid colors, patterns, and radial or linear color gradients, and their borders may be stroked, both with adjustable transparency. Embedding and optional tracing of raster graphics is also supported, enabling the editor to create vector graphics from photos and other raster sources. Created shapes can be further manipulated with geometric transformations, such as moving, rotating, scaling, and skewing.
