Hi,
Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently
got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky
all the time, esp when it rains.
So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter.
I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild
about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet
another set top box to have to deal with...
So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service?
Thanks,
John
I'm looking for it- something that isn't Sugar, anyway. The two popular
ones seem to be DebXO and teapot's ubuntu build.
Has anyone played with either of these?
Take care,
James
Hey Gang,
I'll be unable to make it to the meeting tonight, however I still plan on
doing a talk next month on "pygame".
What's "pygame" you ask?!?
"pygame" is a set of python libraries that wrap SDL written in C and
assembler. These libraries take the nitty gritty out of writing games with
python, or as they put it "we take the pure out of game development".
I'm going to talk about the libraries in depth (with slides), show off a
silly game I've written and then dive into the code of the game so you can
see how absurdity easy it is to use.
Obviously my talk is going to be python centric, but no worries. I'm using
this as an excuse to teach myself python so it'll be educational to the
python guru and the python neophyte alike.
Thanks,
Tim.

constituents as "consumers".
Hi all,
Sorry to say that I wont be able to make the meeting tonight because I have
class, but I figured I would talk to you all in email so you may be able to
discuss this tonight.
I am the ACM president at WPI and on October 2nd we are having an
Installfest starting at 7pm in Fuller Labs. I am in the process of getting
some speakers from various
linux distros and O'Reilly for a panel discussion/Q&A session and afterwords
we will have an installfest in one of the labs.
If anyone here is interesting in attending or even better interested in
talking/volunteering to help with the Install that would be much
appreciated.
You can reach me by email (bill.hnath(a)gmail.com) with any questions.
Thanks for your time and have a great meeting tonight,
--Billy

HI everybody,
I don't have confirmation on our meeting room for this meeting, so if
you don't hear anything, please meet outside of the Access Grid room
(our old meeting room), and we'll go from there. Unfortunately, I do
not have access to my home email while at work, so that's why I'm
sending this now.
See ya there!
Andy

Hi Everybody,
Our next WLUG meeting will be on Wednesday evening, 7:00 PM, somewhere
on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA.
Our guest speaker will be Mike Bauer, and his talk will be a legal
interpretation of the GPL. Mike has degrees in both law and computer
science.
Mike plans to discuss:
a) The GNU philosophy behind the GPL, both from freedom and copyleft
perspectives
b) A brief introduction to copyright law
c) Scholarly papers (law review articles, other non-case-law analysis)
on the GPL
d) Cases dealing with the GPL
When I know the actual meeting room, I'll let you know.
I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday.
Andy

Hi Everybody,
My wife is cleaning stuff out and she wants me do something with a scanner
that I specifically bought for it's Linux compatability. It's an Epson
1200U: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=14568
It works out of the box with my Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop via libusb, so I don't
know if it will work with BSDs or other F/OSS operating systems, but I think
it would. There are drivers for Windows and OS X on Epson's website, but I
don't know if it works for those, I bought it so that it worked with Linux
for a reason...
It's not new, but I feel that it's worth it for Linux compatibility. It
used to be white, but after years of oxidation and the plastic getting
older, it's now yellowed. I would refund the money if it broke in the first
year.
Here's the brochure: http://magazine.mason.ch:8888/magazine/per12usl.pdf

Hiya!
I've got an old laptop (Sony Vaio PCG-F520) that I've been setting to
re-purposing. To this end, I've installed Fedora 10 on it.
I've got DNS (IPv4) and DHCP configured on it, and it will eventually
be acting as a printserver for an HP LaserJet 4MP. :)
My question is this: How difficult (or involved) would it be to add
IPv6 support to this? I know about AAAA records, but I'm not so sure
what the reverse lookup file would look like. Likewise, I'm not sure
about how DHCP would be configured, if I have to touch it at all.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
