10:25 AM polprog: do you know a good tool to convert svg to footprints?
10:25 AM vmt: i remember you from here, like possibly 4 years back

10:26 AM vmt: steady, going steady. you?
10:26 AM _ami_: polprog, no, did not use it. what are you trying to do?
10:26 AM vmt: i miss the all the crazies who used to hang here. lambdaaurigae and the rest legacyphiliacs
10:27 AM polprog: put a logo/drawing on the silkscreen
10:27 AM polprog: vmt: yeah.. lambda disappeared
10:27 AM polprog: sometimes im thinking about sending him a post card but that would be too stalky
10:27 AM vmt: i don't know, seems like a reasonable idea
10:28 AM vmt: though perhaps he is in a mental institution for too much legacy can be detrimental for your mental health
10:29 AM vmt: i remember once he said he has a voice synth reading back irc for him when he's working:D
10:33 AM polprog: haha yeah, i recall that
10:33 AM polprog: but i dont remember your nick, did you change it sometime after that
10:33 AM vmt: sure. i think i was carabia back in the day
10:34 AM vmt: left for a long time after tom got fed up with my bullshit and kicked me, good times
10:34 AM polprog: ahhh damn
10:34 AM polprog: i remeber you !
10:34 AM vmt: heh
10:38 AM vmt: can't remember when i've seen tom last, either
10:39 AM vmt: dean pops in like once a year or so, last i remember he had quit his fancy rgb led bulb startup:D
10:39 AM polprog: as in on irc? tom is pretty active
10:39 AM vmt: this channel?
10:40 AM polprog: no, some other
10:40 AM polprog: i think robotics
10:40 AM vmt: yeah alright
10:40 AM Igloo: Ubuntu has kicad 5: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=kicad
10:40 AM polprog: i never talked to dean though
10:42 AM vmt: abcminiuser? he pops in occasionally
10:42 AM vmt: he left atmel (or laid off? i dunno) to work in some fancy startup making rgb led bulbs. then he left it sometime after because he realized the people he worked with are complete idiots
10:43 AM polprog: hmm
10:45 AM twnqx: i still don't like kicad, but i guess i first need to set it up correctly , and then actually do more than being annoyed by the inconsistencies and non-integration of its pieces
10:46 AM vmt: what's kicad built on? gtk?
10:46 AM polprog: kicad improved a lot
10:46 AM vmt: oh no wxwidgets
10:48 AM _ami_: kicad5.0 is quite good.
10:57 AM twnqx: i am using 5.1.6 for quite some time (someone did a design for me in it)
10:57 AM twnqx: and... i don't like it
