Need help with infrared transfer, and with an editing issue using font works, in open office...

Asked by wmichaeltrout

using a dell latitude c600, and i want to infrared some pix from my phone... working a live cd ubuntu distro that i just got today

i tried b4 to send via infrared on the ms windows system as well, to no avail

does anyone have experience with infrared transfer that might be able to tell me either how to activate a driver that may allready exist on my system, or what i should do next?

also, seperate issue, in open office, is there a way to edit the font style in a font works 'object'? couldn't find any control for it on the screen anywhere, but maybe i'm not looking in the right place....

thanks to anyone who can help

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off.

So I ran over and said “Stop! Don’t do it!”

“Why shouldn’t I?” he said.
“Well, there’s so much to live for!”
“Like what?”
“Well
 are you religious?”
"Yes."
“Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?”
“Christian.”
“Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant ?
“Protestant.”
“Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?”
“Baptist”
“Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?”
“Baptist Church of God!”
“Me too! Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you reformed Baptist Church of God?”
“Reformed Baptist Church of God!”
“Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?”
“Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!"
“Then Die, you heretic scum”, I said, and I pushed him off the bridge. (Emo Philips)

The only application that I know of that can do this kind of thing is gnokii http://gnokii.org/. You don't specify what make and model of phone you have, you might want to check the gnokii wiki http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Main_Page to see if yours is supported. The following link may also be useful:-
