Re: WLUG Meeting Feb 11th 2021! Topic: Good question!

by Jon "maddog" Hall

I still vividly remember my boss showing me the plans for support of Intel's Itanium processor. As someone who taught operating systems and compiler design for a number of years I still remember my shock that THIS was the answer for Intel's 64-bit chip....an Ultra-Wide Instruction set. I wailed away about how all of this was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.....mostly because I had spent the past six months proving why even a regular CISC system was the wrong answer, and here Intel was going in the opposite direction. After twenty minutes of me fuming my boss simply grinned, shrugged his shoulders and left my office. While I was proud of the fact that the Alpha processor was so prominent in the production of the movie "Titanic"......now I had to deal with a real life "Itanic"....watching it sink. md P.S. It was only a month or so after, I think, that AMD came out with a reasonable extension to the i86 architecture....which (although it was not RISC) I was reasonably happy with.

Re: !!!! Reminder!!! Wlug Meeting Oct 13th @7PM: Topic: Fotoxx, Speaker: Dick Miller, Location: WPI Mid Century Room.

by Doug Mildram

doug/dmildram, former WPI dude/netops but now in Maine> Just wanted to say .............(yea right, as I type a long windy rant) ...............the effort+result of everyone's contributions are truly "all good" and appreciated! yes, jitsi totally rocks from my limited-use view. Recorded meetings are very cool! Both my 2 piles of PICtures/jpg's , as well as the muzak/mp3's in my personal/(~20-40g) stash of precious/home data.... are indeed in need of a brainy front end. Hating Rhythmbox front end for mp3's though it plays all my mp3's correctly w/o weird play/stutter,etc issues. I know there's a slew of media players, both audio and image/video. And, I do love vlc , yet need to learn more of its capabilities and improve my ease of use, plus fix my command-line-launch no-go/problem I'm having. (AUDIO only of course? I'm seeing that vlc even gets into images.....) but will not divert into an audio whine/discuss here. FOR PICTURES: I don't know you, for example, Lexi who just posted/replied re: fotoxx, but I really dug your DIY-brain story, building from source, = how we/dinosaurs used to do stuff until it got harder over decades :) Back to PICS/IMAGES pursuits in detail, fotoxx seems to be a viewer (mostly?) for a personal stash/giant-or-smaller-album. Can it auto-or-manually tweak/compress jpg's to save space without losing much quality? (I'm gimp-ignorant...gimp probably does, it's obviously a tweaker not viewer? tool, i.e. ...one image at a time. Tangent or not: I hated myself for continuing to use a windows program (ACDsee, i bought a license decades ago, back when you could buy a cheap license) ...........which very quickly cropped+downsized images greatly like 5-10x smaller. Being MB-stingy,.I got into the habit of trimming saved-pics. Until I admitted it was too much work, cuz i never learned to trim easily on linux ... Hated myself cuz I'm almost done w windozeMS but for 1 or 2 things! (last to die in my world, win7 for me == important for tax-filing software. Well, i rambled too much. Welcoming more pics/images/fotoxx feedback though. I'm gonna dig into fotoxxx pretty soon i think. Since there's no recording of this week's meeting, maybe we can be a bit noiser on the list this month! -- doug On Fri, Oct 14, 2022 at 12:55 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > I'd like to apologize for the online meeting failure last night. > > Going forward our Jitsi game is going to have to be upped a bit.
