Josh, No worries. We're a quality of content over slick presentation every day of the week. I'm sure it'll all turn out fine. Later, Tim.

Re: Encrypted Sorna Reviewer CD files

by Richard Klein

Thanks! I'm at work now, stuck on a Windows machine, but I googled "linux dicom viewer" and got some interesting results that I'll have to try later. I also brought the disc into work with me and tried the bundled Windows viewer. It offers the option to export the encrypted images, but exports them with no file extension, and I don't know what kind of files they are. GIMP opens them and display something, but I don't think it's displaying them correctly.

https://www.google.com/search?q=viewing+MRI+images+on+cd+using+linux&oq=vie… includes several articles about either Open or Free Software that runs on Linux and allows you to view these files. I had a massive heart attack three years ago, and I think it was "aeskulap" software that I used to view what was left of my beating heart. Also, by opening up the software manager app on Mint and searching for "MRI" I found several tools already packaged up. Ubuntu and Fedora also seem to have the same types of software. md On Wed, Dec 18, 2019 at 10:43 PM Richard Klein via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > I picked up a copy of some x-rays and MRIs.

Encrypted Sorna Reviewer CD files

by Richard Klein

I picked up a copy of some x-rays and MRIs. They're on a CD, encrypted, with Windows viewer software. Has anyone figured out how to view these in Linux? I have the password to decrypt, I just don't know what software to use (without resorting to Windows). I think it may actually be a DICOM file format. Here's a link to the viewer software: https://sorna.com/solutions/reviewer/ -- Rich

Hey all, I'm glad to be a part of this! I'd just like to give a fair warning that my material is probably going to be rough around the edges since I haven't had much time to prepare a slideshow. Honestly I'm thinking that I'll probablyalternate between a slideshow and just showing you some examples on my laptop. -Josh On Mon, 2019-12-16 at 09:21 -0500, Tim Keller via WLUG wrote: > Hey Everybody, > We've got a meeting this Thursday on December 19th 2019! > > Location: WPI Campus Center Mid-Century room (our usual haunt) > Date & Time: December 19th, 2019 > > Our speaker this month is Joshua Stone.

Marvellous Inc.

by Dennis Payne

I stumbled on an open source programming game. It is called Marvellous Inc. It is available on Steam and itch.io for $5. I downloaded the github source to try it. I had to make some modifications to get it running on love 11.2. You can download it from: https://github.com/dulsi/MarvInc To run it, install love. Grab the git repository. Go to the MarvInc/marv directory and run 'love .' I've written up an Open Game Source article about my playing around with the program. http://identicalsoftware.com/games/marvellousinc -- Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com https://social.freegamedev.net/channel/dulsi

December WLUG Meeting! Topic: Fedora Silverblue, toolbox and Flatpaks!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting this Thursday on December 19th 2019! Location: WPI Campus Center Mid-Century room (our usual haunt) Date & Time: December 19th, 2019 Our speaker this month is Joshua Stone. He's going to giving a talk about a couple of cool technologies in Fedora! Josh provided me some details about these innovations so I've mashed them up and included them below. Silverblue: https://fedoramagazine.org/what-is-silverblue/ Toolbox: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/toolbox/ Flatpaks: https://flatpak.org/ *Silverblue* s a Fedora variant designed around immutability where a new system image is committed as the new /sysroot without affecting the state of the running system. This is reminiscent of Android A/B updates, although the update backend -- ostree -- has elements of a version control system like git. *Toolbox* is also interesting as it lets you switch into an unprivileged development environment that can be built up and torn down without affecting the host as tools are installed inside a container. *Flatpak* uses the same file storage backend as Silverblue to manage apps and shared runtimes. This app distribution technology allows you to decouple apps and operating systems as everything is built and run inside a sandbox, making upgrades easier. Compare needing only one version of an app to package as a flatpak, versus packaging for different versions. As usual, snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll head off for dinner to continue the conversation. Thanks, Tim Keller WLUG President -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
