Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel
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

Re: [Wlug] Any idea where to find a job?

Any it position will do, as for travel marlboro, framingham, etc are all
fine by me, boston would be a bit far.
My retail experience consists of: logistics, electronics sales, and hourly
management. Prior to that I used to sell, repair and build computers. And
would troubleshoot and set up networks. As well as contract programming. I'm
a jack of all trades when it comes to computers really. Id actually like to
avoid any linux positions as I'm not really sure how to rate my knowledge. I
can install a working gentoo system without the handbook, if that gives any
hints.

Are you looking solely for just a Linux position? To be honest, they're hard
to come by. (100% Linux) without experience.
What is your retail experience include? I worked at Best Buy selling
computers for 2 years & had 9 months of college course work completed when I
landed my first position. (Windows desktop support role) That was 3 years
ago this month, now I work with Linux/Windows/VMware/Networking/Storage/etc.

Dec Meeting announcement / linux-raid problem
by Eric Martin
I just realized that I haven't received anything from WLUG in over a month,
including the announcement for this past meeting. Did anybody else have
this problem or is it just me?
Now, the main reason for my email. My mythbox / home file server runs linux
soft-raid in RAID5 with 3 500GB disks. One disk went bad a while ago and
the array never rebuilt itself. The other day, the second disk went bad.
Am I hosed? I've been googling for 'rebuild bad linux software raid' but
all I get is the rebuild command. Also, I don't see any tools that will
move bad data to another spot on the disk. This is my first time using
software raid so I'm in a bit over my head.
thanks!

Any idea where to find a job?
by Jason Couture
If anyone knows of any entry level it oppurtunities in the area, it would be
much appreciated. I have 0 certifications but I can more than prove myself.
I've been stuck in retail for a few years now and id like to escape it. If
anyone knows of any positions, please let me know. :-)
Thanks in advance!

disk/Raid ideas
by Doug Mildram
You're hosed (i think) unless
-- you're rich and you send the disks to a shop for megabucks (they may
start with a trivial purchase of 2-3 identical model disks)
-- OR IF your problem was NOT the actual platters/heads, YOU obtain 1-2
same-model disks, swap the board from a replacement disk onto your hosed
disk ( w/ sm torx tool and brave fingers )
I've not done this myself yet.
I HAVE had "stiction" problems where (after a power out or a "rest" so a
disk bearing/lubricant gets a chance to harden) the disk just isnt spinning
up. Of course, tapping/whacking it at the right/initial moment will usually
cure that and you can feel if it's spinning or not....if you can hold it in
your hand ...OR somehow get hands-on during powerup.

Announce: Next WLUG meeting & meetings for 2011
by Chuck Anderson
Hi folks,
Our next WLUG meeting is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, January 12
at 7:00 PM at the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. The meeting room
is in WPI's Morgan Hall (building 'H' on the campus map [1]), down the
hallway to the right of the dining hall entrance.
[1] http://www.wpi.edu/Images/CMS/WPI/walkingmap.pdf
Also, I have normalized the meeting schedule to be the 2nd Wednesday
of each month. We'll try this for awhile and see how it goes.
As always, please email me if you are interested in presenting a topic
for any of our future meetings. We're a very laid back group, so
don't feel you need to have a polished presentation in order to speak.
Demos are always fun too.
Some topic ideas we've had are:
- Linux Android Development
- Linux on Wireless Routers: OpenWRT, DD-WRT, etc.
- IRC basics: how to chat on #wlug-ma
- PGP/GPG keysigning party
- Compare ZFS vs. BTRFS vs. ...
- Virtualization Technologies KVM, Xen, VMWare
- Demo the latest version of your favorite Linux distribution
Happy Holidays and I look forward to seeing you next year,
Chuck

I hear you man, good luck. At least you had the backups.

I have backups of some stuff but I have a program that isn't great about
writing stuff properly so I wanted to see if I could get more. If I can't
it's ok, the backups will suffice. I was just hoping for more :) The
replacement is on it's way so this is a moot point pretty fast.
