Family spam solution
by Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO 17 May '05

17 May '05

This needs a cool name like spam assassin, but not so violent. For those family and friends that like to forward EVERYTHING and not just the choice funny stuff that I so painstakingly weed out and forward to everyone with an advanced sense of humor. :-) Here is a very visual cure for the chain email forwarder in your circle of friends. Sometimes just pointing them to www.snopes.com is not enough. If you don't know who it is, then it is you. Enjoy. http://www.softlab.ece.ntua.gr/~sivann/pub/swf/may02-smilepop-soapbox4.s wf

Windows question- respond off list
by Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO 16 May '05

16 May '05

God I hate doing this, but it's for my job. I need to add a .msc file to the standard Windows Management console, the mmc. This .msc file is a part of a program I'm working with and it adds some monitoring functionality to the standard mmc console. I know how to make a new, custom console and save it, etc. What I need is the command, if one exists, to add the .msc into the "compmgmt.msc" under the "Services and Applications" subheading, "services.msc". If I have a single command or series of commands, I can add this to my install script. The docs on MMC.exe are a little light and non-existent AFAICT in what I specifically want to do. This is giving me a headache.

Hate to say it, but I know someone that used to work there and a few in upper mgmt have zero ethics. Has to do with software and competitor information. Nuff said. If you go work there, watch your ass. If you say anything about ethics or question the legality of some move by them, better have your resume ready. Just a friendly warning. I never do this, but this time it's necessary. This email is confidential, does not reflect the views or opinions of my employer. It's simply me trying to be nice about some dirty laundry I know about. Choose to believe it or not as the case may be. -----Original Message----- From: kclug-bounces(a)kclug.org [mailto:kclug-bounces@kclug.org] On Behalf Of Paul Taylor Sent: Saturday, May 14, 2005 10:45 AM To: List - KCLUG Subject: OT: Open position, do you know someone?

notes on current "linux magazine"
by David Nicol 13 May '05

13 May '05

Articles of interest to LUG members: "ATA over Ethernet" is a summary of a protocol that makes fibre-channel look no longer pareto-efficient. Being unrouted, it would not be appropriate for use in large LTSP installations to serve node hard drives. ENDB probably would though. "puppy linux" is a *multi-session* live cd, that writes changes back to itself. This is exactly the thing that Oren needs to create the self-contained backup and recovery system on a single CD that he used to go on and on and on and on about. -- David L Nicol Like a bird on a wire, Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free.

I finished my BitTorrent download this afternoon, so I'm going to be a Project Gutenberg DVD seeder for awhile now. 9400+ books.

OT: Project Gutenberg's CD/DVD Project
by Leo Mauler 11 May '05

11 May '05

Just wanted to mention this here as I proofread pages of expired-copyright books for them. Project Gutenberg is making its massive collection of plaintext e-books available in CD and DVD images. The latest CD image is "Best Of August 2003"; the DVD covers all of Project Gutenberg from the very beginning to December 2003 (3.85GB). You can download the image yourself, get it through a slightly safer checksum source like BitTorrent, or even have an overworked volunteer mail you a CD/DVD. With its error-checking options they prefer P2P networks, and they're encouraging BitTorrent right now (http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu:6969/). The DVD is a treasure trove with over 9400 e-books on it (mine will be all together on my hard drive in about two days). I took a humanities course this past spring semester, and it was not only a lifesaver for material, it saved me a bit of money on some of the books required for the class. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Yet Another Perl Conference final details
by Gerard Lim 11 May '05

11 May '05

Hi everyone... This email could be of interest to people interested in the Perl programming language. I know that in Toronto there is a good-sized overlap between Linux people and Perl people (we occasionally hold "joint sessions" of our user group meetings) so we hoped to share this information with Linux folks more widely. There have been some recent developments on the YAPC::NA front, and it has been suggested to us that a reminder might be helpful to some people, so here's a quick summary of the event. Summary ------- YAPC::NA 2005 (Yet Another Perl Conference, North America) in Toronto, Canada, Monday - Wednesday 27 - 29 June, 2005 Home page: http://yapc.org/America/ Conference Location: http://89chestnut.com/ A facility of the University of Toronto Accommodations -------------- Normally registration information would come first, but accommodations are the bottleneck -- our main group reservation (at the conference hotel) expires at the end of the week, and as the conference approaches it will be extremely difficult to find a hotel anywhere in the city. Info on how to book at: http://yapc.org/America/accommodations-2005.shtml Registration ------------ Register now! :-) We are on track to break attendance records at YAPC::NA this year, and we could even sell out before the conference starts. The price for the full 3 days is USD$85. We keep it insanely low through many generous sponsorships and the all-volunteer organizational and speaking crews. Registration info: http://yapc.org/America/register-2005.shtml Direct registration link: http://donate.perlfoundation.org/index.pl?node=registrant%20info&conference… Conference Speaking Schedule ---------------------------- We've got an excellent selection of talks and speakers for Perl programmers of all levels, beginner through expert. We are fortunate enough to have presentations coming from some of the most recognizable names in Perl programming today, including Larry Wall, Chip Salzenberg, Dan Sugalski, Autrijus Tang and brian d foy. Summary -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/summary.html Day 1 -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/day1.html Day 2 -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/day2.html Day 3 -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/day3.html Lightning Talks --------------- These short (5 minutes each) talks, presented by the conference attendees, are a YAPC tradition. If you're interested please read more about them and sign up: http://www.justanotherperlhacker.org/lightning/ [ This message was sent by Gerard Lim <glim(a)mycybernet.net> on behalf of the YAPC::NA 2005 Conference organizing committee of the Toronto Perl Mongers. Thanks for your patience and support. ]
