Re: [BLUG] reminder: meeting TONIGHT

I will be there, as I'm really interested in the topic. It'll be my
first BLUG meeting, though I've been on the mailing list for a while.

Is there a specific room I can find you in, or do I just look for some
folks with laptops and mobile devices =)

Thanks.

Kevin

Re: [BLUG] reminder: meeting TONIGHT

FWIW, I used to attend meetings pretty regularly. Then, being around
so many students, I got inspired and started taking a few computer
classes at Ivy Tech. Which meant suddenly I was always busy, in class,
on Tuesday nights, and couldn't make meetings any more.
This semester, I'm only taking ONE class.
It meets Thursdays from 6-9.
Yeah, Linux Networking and Security. That class...

Wednesdays are good. Mondays are good until the weather is decent.

Or, I wait 'til summer....

[BLUG] reminder: meeting TONIGHT

I probably should have made more noise earlier in the week. Oh well. As
I mentioned in another thread, we are on for 7:00 pm in the Library
tonight.

I reserved a projector and I'll have my laptop(s). I'll be going over
GPG for email and file encryption as well as signing, and I'll cover
some tools that make the process easier. I will also cover using GPG on
Windows.

I don't think my paranoid ramblings will take up the whole meeting, so
we can also talk about other things tangentially related. My laptops run
KDE 4.2, in case you want to play with a working installation of such. I
also want to talk about when February's meeting should be scheduled.

[BLUG] A Rails quasi-gig

Hi gang, I'm looking for someone who might interested in a
low-commitment involvement with an actual money-making bit of Ruby on
Rails programming I'm involved with. If that's of any interest to
you, read on...

One of my clients, for whom I've written a not-terribly-complex rails
app, is doing his annual audit and one of the things they always do is
disaster planning, so he wonders to whom he would turn if I died in a
plane crash. I think he's being a bit on the paranoid side, since
finding a rails programmer shouldn't be too difficult (as he himself
has confirmed). But, it probably makes it easy for him to say to his
board that he has a backup plan... and then he started thinking that
maybe when I'm too busy to do a task for him, we could see if the
backup person had time as well.

Familiarity with Rails is definitely desired, but if you've done
database/web development in other languages/frameworks and are
interested in Rails, I'm open to a discussion. you definitely do not
need to be a Rails guru. He'd prefer to work with someone local
and/or that we have reason to believe is a good person to work with.

Best of all, this actually pays! I suspect he's up for a couple few
hours of payment just to get familiar with the app, and if we start
sliding work your way, you get paid for any work you do on a
keep-track-of-your-hours-honestly basis. Probably around $40/hour, but
I can't commit to an exact amount at this time. Definitely nothing
near minimum wage, this is contract work! :)

If you or someone you know is interested, let me know. Thanks!

David

I was like, what's a Hasefroch box? Never heard that term before to
refer to Windows.

Re: [BLUG] The experience of Linux on Inauguration Day

My experience was that cnn.com/live on Firefox under Ubuntu worked
fabulously (I don't have a Facebook, so I didn't try logging into
that...), but on our Hasefroch boxes it complained that we needed the
latest version of Flash, on both Firefox and IE, even though adobe.com
informed us that we have exactly the version they suggested we needed
to install.

At the High School and Middle School, I was able to get a video signal
from cable to show in the auditoriums, but at our Lower School we
couldn't get a strong enough cable signal, so I was counting on
streaming cnn.com/live on a Hasefroch box (it worked yesterday...) and
was disappointed; they got to see CBS streamed live, instead.

Fun stuff.

[BLUG] The experience of Linux on Inauguration Day

And other funny browser tricks:

It might have been a problem with Galeon, I didn't try firefox under
Linux.
