After I got into a gun fight with the police it was difficult to pay attention. They kept talking about tera-bytes, but I am still a bit future-shocked from when my ex-new-boss told me that the programs I would be paid to write had to work with a giga-byte of important data...and when I actually bought a mega-byte for my own home.

I had a similar idea about 20 years ago. I rented a store-front in south-east Worcester and did it for a few years. I didn't make much money, but I didn't lose much either. The remaining fragments of that business exist as a web page: http://www.free-comp-shop.com/ I used to have a book about starting a business in Massachusetts, maybe I can find it. It's probably far out of date. You need to know the laws about collecting sales tax and reporting and remitting to the state. -- Keith Wright, Programmer in Chief, Free Computer Shop

Or do you just deliver it locally and read it using some other mail program? I ask because with Trixie, dovecot was upgraded to v2.4.x and it's a big problem because the configuration language has been changed, and it's not as stable as the old 2.3.x version is, and some features have been pulled. So I'd be careful upgrading.

Re: [EXT] April WLUG meeting to be online

A buddy of mine runs one. I'll pick his brains regarding what it needs for bandwidth and horsepower. I suspect I've got sufficient quantities of that at my house.

He said it's Thursday Sept 15th!!!! (see Subject:) I assume it 7:00pm, since the whole point of changing the date was because we didn't want to change the time. I thought you must be behind in reading, but now see that the location was not specified. No doubt that will be determined shortly.

There seem to be a several WLUG people who know a lot about this, but there are also those of us who first heard of it a few weeks ago. Please don't let it turn into an insider discussion of marketing buzzwords. (1) What goes into a container? (2) What can I now do with a full container that Kernighan and Ritchie couldn't do in 1976 with a Unix process? (3) etc. -- Keith

Re: [Wlug] This week's meeting

by E Johnson

I would sometime like to discuss sound "issues" on laptops occurring in various recent distros, which may feed into Andy's distro question of several weeks ago. The sound "issues" question might be like discussing various hallucinogenically-produced nightmares that have been induced in non-volunteers by the distro-gods, but it might be nice to air in a forum what has been happening, and what solutions may have been found.

Re: [Wlug] Meeting Topic Idea - MythTV

My wife feels the same way about our TiVo box. Now my big questions, since I can't make the meeting due to other commitments, is as follows: - do people use their TiVo remotes with Myth? - anyone hack a TiVo to be a Myth frontend box? - which capture cards work with Digital cable? - does it need to be downstream of the cable box? I was just at my mom's house and she has a new Sony LCD HD TV. Realize that my mom is clueless about technology, so much so that they took advantage of her and sold her a Toshiba HD DVD player too. Sigh... All she wants is a big screen so she can watch TV and DVDs. That's it. Now she has to juggle three friggin remotes to do this. A logitech Harmony remote is in her future I think. :] But this just shows how complicated it can be to setup a simple setup. So, how do people deal with multiple inputs, remotes, digital/analog cable, etc. All in regards to Myth, since when my TiVo finally bites the dust, I'll need to put something up ASAP to keep the family happy. Cheers. John
