I'm at the KDE conference:
http://conference2005.kde.org/
Saw a good presentation this morning on a groupware (exchange replacement)
software: http://kolab.org/
It works with kontact, outlook plugin, and web interface.
Then saw a kde power users talk where i saw some cool stuff.
for example.
in konquerer to open a sftp like session where you can drag and drop
files in the URL go to:
fish://sshserver
For viewing the ls man pages in konquerer for example:
man:/ls
Gota go now, leaving the conference to go to a friends wedding...

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knew where to get a manual for a Mag
Innovision DX15F monitor. As I need to find out the Hz and Refresh
rates so I can use nVidia's TwinView
Thanks,

Announcing a New Online Store for Tux T-shirts
Still waiting to get that fabulous Tux t-shirt? Wait no more. Now you
can get
a
Tux T-shirt and help out the Linux community! Introducing TuxDelux
(http://tuxdelux.com) a new online store solely devoted to marketing and
promoting Tux the Penguin.
The brainchild of two Linux enthusiasts, Bryan Dumm and Michael McSteen,
TuxDelux is an effort to increase public awareness of Linux by shamelessly
marketing and promoting Tux the Penguin, the adopted mascot of the Linux
community.
"We don't see Tux as much as we should. We don't see it on the street,
in the
stores or in any media." said Dumm. "We want to change that."
The two originally thought of the idea for Tux Delux while attending a
recent
conference. They saw a lot of logos and icons promoting individual
software programs and corporations, but nothing promoting the Linux.
"Mike and I always talk about the need for 'Place' (one of the four P's of
marketing) for Linux. The same holds true for 'Promotion'," Dumm explained.
Both Dumm and McSteen think one of the best ways to introduce the public to
Linux is by introducing them to Tux the Penguin. They hope that the more the
Linux community promotes Tux, the more the general public will be curious
about
Linux. "We want people to ask, 'hey, what's up with the penguin?' We want to
peak people's curiosity about Tux and Linux," McSteen stated.
"We think Tux is a fantastic image and that the Linux community needs to
rally
around him to market and promote Linux," Dumm added.
Tuxdelux.com currently offers eight different Tux designs, including the
original. The company plans to introduce several new designs over the next
couple of months.
Visit tuxdelux.com to find out more. If you have any questions, please
contact
Michael McSteen at: support(a)tuxdelux.com

So I've been thinking about picking up a PVR card and turning an old machine
I have lying around into a MythTV box to replace my tivo to get rid of that
nasty monthly fee. Does anyone have any comments on the comparisons between
the two? Will I miss my tivo? Does mythtv have equivelant options for season
passes or recommentations?
Thanks,
-Marc

I know that I could get some answers from the MythTV website, but I'm
looking for some opinions, since others have been talking about the
Tivo/MythTV stuff...
I've got a Matrox Mystique and Rainbow Runner card (it's a little "old,
I think) that I have been thinking about using to make a MythTV-ish
system. (The Rainbow Runner is an add-on TV tuner card for the
Mystique.)
Given that I'm not expecting spectacular results with something like
that (I mostly want to play with it), what sort of base system should I
use it in? (CPU speed, Drive capacity, RAM?)
Any suggestions are welcome.

HI Everybody,
Time flies, especially in the summer. I can't believe its already time
for another WLUG meeting. Our meeting is scheduled for Wednesday,
August 10th at 7:00 PM.
What will we discuss this month?
I was hoping somebody had an iRivier or iPod MP3 player with the Linux
software working that would bring it to the meeting to demo it, but so
far, nobody has volunteered. (iRiver, iPod, iAudio, for what does the
'i' stand - individual??).
One possible area of interest is directory services (LDAP). I don't
think we've ever had a talk on that subject. Its my understanding that
LDAP is good for more than just creating a giant list of email addresses
for an organization.
Another possible idea would be a talk about databases. What are the
differences between MySQL and PostgreSQL - are they technical or is this
a religious war?
OK, I've tossed out a few ideas, but to make it work, we need a
volunteer. Please send me email if you are interested in leading the
discussion on either these proposed topics or something else of interest
to the group.
See ya later,
Andy

Hello,
My name is Jeff Polo, and I'm a recruiter with Google. We're currently
searching for Linux systems experts with strong scripting/coding skills and
some networking experience for a number of great opportunities within our
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team. Our SRE's are involved in all
aspects of running Google's services, from design to debug, and from
architecture to applications. Google is looking for the best in
engineering talent, and I'm sure a number of your members have the skills
that match up with some of our openings.
I was wondering if it would be possible for you to post a couple of jobs to
your WLUG site, an appropriate mailing list, or otherwise let your members
know about these great opportunities at Google. If so, I've pasted a couple
of representative job descriptions below. If there is a way/forum for me to
do this myself, please let me know. If it's not possible, I completely
understand, and realize that some technical forums choose not to advertise
job opportunities.
If you're able to distribute this information to your members, be assured
that these are real and excellent opportunities, and that I will respond to
all that apply to my email address. We have openings in Kirkland, WA, as
well as in our other development offices in Mountain View, CA; New York, NY;
Dublin, Ireland; and Zurich, Switzerland Please feel free to call or email
with any questions, and thanks in advance for your consideration and time.

Quality? (for our systems and services, naturally) If you answered "Yes" to
more than three of the above questions, you may have what it takes. Keep

etc.); familiarity in interpreting the output of these tools; familiarity
with common network topologies, protocols, and tools; have some notion of
common network security exploits -- and their remedies; understanding of
troubleshooting at the packet level.
Skilled in leading projects, especially in deploying live end-user systems.

aggressively building this elite team of high level engineers in this
mission critical environment. All team members must have strong analytical
and troubleshooting skills, fluency in coding, good communication skills,
and most of all enthusiasm for tackling the complex problems of scale which
are uniquely Google. Google.com engineers tackle challenging, novel
situations every day, and work with just about every other engineering and
operations team in the process.

Strong programming/scripting skills in any of the following: C, C++, Java,

of urgency.

HI gang,
I'm starting to investigate the purchase of a new toy - a portable music
player. My preferences would be:
- - flash, not hard drive, based
- - standard batteries (AA,AAA, etc)
- - works reasonably well with Linux
- - plays ogg (nice but not necessary - aren't the files smaller than mp3)
- - plays mp3
I currently have a perfectly functional RioVolt 250 and my only
complaint is that it is quite bulky relative to what is available today.
I was considering some of the offerings by iRiver, as there seems to be
some support by the Linux community.
Does anybody own an iRiver flash based player, and what is your
experience with it?
Does anybody have other recommendations in this area?
Maybe we should make this the topic of a meeting???
Thanks,
Andy
