Is Computer User still being published?
by Matthew Copple 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Back when I worked in JoCo, I used to pick up Computer User pretty regularly. There always seemed to be copies at the bookstores and Microcenter. Now that I work downtown, though, I haven't seen a copy in months. Is it still published, and if so, any ideas where to look for copies on the MO side of the border? -- Matthew Copple mcopple(a)gmail.com

Laptop Drive Wanted
by Jonathan Hutchins 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

If somebody has a (good) IDE hard drive from an upgraded laptop, I'd be interested in it. Don't need much room, but the current one's dead.

Game for everyone to try
by Kyle Sexton 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

I just started a game where I work that's turned out to be pretty fun. Try to find the oldest posting you've made on Google. Posts have to come from Google's main page, not any of the subsections (i.e. Groups). Currently the oldest I can find from myself is January of 1999, so I don't go too far back. ;) -- Kyle Sexton

Speaking of the Zaurus
by cragos＠gmail.com 10 Apr '07

My Collie Zaurus SL-5500 is starting to flake out. It died/corrupted itself a while back. When I reflashed it with Hentges, its root partition was corrupted again before the week was out. I'm going to try removing its newer OS and reverting to a circa 2004 openzaurus distribution, since all I really need are madplay, a functioning terminal, and JustReader. I really hate the way these new versions of OpenZaurus et al have gotten so bloated that they need to bleed off into the CF/SD cards for basic Qtopia/OPIE system files. I've seen the PalmOS devices that Tom Bruno and Chris Bier carry around, but the eBook readers on both seem far less functional than JustReader, and the situation seemed to be even worse for PocketPC/WinCE owners when I was trying to hook my dad up with part of my eBook collection in '04-'05. Software issues aside, I've also never seen anything with a screen as large as a Zaurus, although it's been a while since I was really in the market. Short of hitting the lottery I'm not going to be able to afford a Zaurus SL-6000, and they're discontinued anyway. What's a poor boy to do when all he wants is something to play MP3s and read eBooks on? Is there anything on the market that'll run Qtopia/OPIE-based Linux distributions well? Thanks, Sean Crago

The slightly-less-great KCLUG laptop (memory!) giveaway...
by Greg Brooks 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Another giveaway - no stories or noble causes required this time; just be the first one to say "Yeah, I'll take that!" and it's yours. Up for grabs: Two 512mb sticks (1gb total) of laptop RAM. Used but fully functional, and pulled from my Vaio VGN-A690 as part of an upgrade. (Helloooo, 2GB of RAM me!) This is Sony's originally installed RAM, so I don't know the manufacturer. Specs from Sony are: 533mhz DDRII SDRAM, PC2-4200. One stick or both, it's up to you. Contact me directly at gregb(a)west-third.com if you're interested, and I'll post another email when the RAM's no longer available. Greg

Smartphone w/ Linux?
by Kyle Sexton 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Does anyone have a smartphone/PDA that works well with Linux? The only ones that I really know of are the Treo's, and Palm OS is getting a little long in the tooth. If you have a success story or recommendation of a phone let me know! -- Kyle Sexton

Indexing home videos
by brad＠bradandkim.net 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Does anyone know of an existing system for indexing home videos? I could throw together a small db and set up some frontend for searching and entering videos but if there is something out there it would save me time. I plan on converting the raw dv to dvd, burning a copy and also keeping a copy on disk. A way of naming and then searching them for content would be really nice. Thanks, Brad
