[libreoffice-documentation] First Review of GS7209 - Getting Started with Math

2021-09-06 Thread Mitchell Camfield
Hi all,

I have finished my review of GS7209 - Getting Started with Math. The only
updates I made were the names of some menu buttons and links to extensions
used in Math. For all updates, I made an additional comment to easily find
those changes. Let me know if any of you have any questions!

Here's the link to the reviewed document:

[libreoffice-documentation] Math Greek Symbols Question

2021-08-27 Thread Mitchell Camfield
Hi all,

I am reviewing the math user guide and ran into something. When trying to
insert *italic lowercase* Greek symbols into the formula editor, the
resulting symbol is always italic. For example, if I write %ichi or %chi
using markup in the formula editor, the resulting symbols will look exactly
the same. I found that this is true if I am using the Mac or Windows
version of LO. Does this happen to anyone else? For additional context, I
am inserting these symbols into Writer. Thanks for your help!

All the best,
Mitch

[libreoffice-documentation] Introduction and Documentation User Account Request

2021-08-20 Thread Mitchell Camfield
Hi everyone,

My name is Mitch and I work as a technical communicator for a large public
university in the USA. I have worked extensively with various tools in
education as well as instructing others on how to utilize those tools. I
would like to assist with the technical communication of LibreOffice
software as I am a huge proponent of technology access for society.

I would love to help with published documentation and am requesting a user
account for the documentation cloud site. For reference, my user ID is
camfiemb. If anyone has any questions for me, please let me know. See you
all around!

All the best,
Mitch

Beyond these resources, there's a ton of activity in this space from
traditional development orgs:

RTI's ICT4D (tech for development) team has a ton of health projects:
http://www.rti.org/page.cfm?objectid=318AC349-9637-4176-A4967867C9E30EB2

IntraHealth: http://www.intrahealth.org/page/ehealth (disclaimer, I
used to sit on one of their advisory boards)

Jhpiego (affiliated with Johns Hopkins) also has a strong health+tech
team: http://www.jhpiego.org/en/content/what-we-do

Datadyne also does mobile + health data collection, using a
closed-source, but sustainable business-as-a-service model

Tostan does less (AFAIK) in tech/systems work, but has the strongest
community-led model I've come across.

You might also check out the members and work around the
mHealthAlliance: http://www.mhealthalliance.org

For large companies, I wonder how resignations would count in this?
Could an NSL require, say, the lead cryptographer of an org to /not/

 Making your service secure such that you can't be forced to do this
 sort of thing (or such that it would be obvious, say open in

 In short I don't think there's a hack for this one, it just
 requires old fashioned activism and mobilization to reveal what
 these secret interpretations of the law actually are and try to
 work to get rid of them.  (Well, I guess greater decentralization
 and privacy-overlays are a good way to get around it but that's a
 long term thing AFAICT.)

A naive thought experiment add-on:

There has always been a huge trust factor in hosted services - do they
really not log?  What are their configuration files?  How can we build
transparency into how the servers are configured and what code they
are actually, currently running in a way that would reveal malicious
changes?  (Obviously, there's also a security challenge here, in that
you have to really be on top of your updates and on the watch for
intrusions with this level of transparency).

In the end, it still becomes a iterative process where whatever
transparency system is put up can still be subverted by a skilled
governmental adversary, but it'd still be nice to have more than a
company's word about their logging policies.

Gabrielle,

Also, today happens to be Techno-Activism 3rd Monday, which takes
place in cities around the world.  If there's one near you, it might
be really useful to visit and explore this question in person with
peers there.  Here's a list of currently known events:
http://wiki.openitp.org/events:techno-activism_3rd_mondays?#techno-activism_3rd_mondays_home

Similarly, Crypto Parties could also help, someone has already pointed
out their in-depth manual for all things security - that manual was
built from and is a resource for in-person gatherings:
http://www.cryptoparty.in/parties/upcoming

Finally, https://securityinabox.org/ is a great resource (IMHO) that
provides very clear guidance, tool suggestions, and instructions on
many aspects of being secure and private.

 So it's like a parallel highway? But both highways still remain useable?
 
 Yes.
 
 See, what I  want to do is use IE for frivolous fun stuff
 (Youtube, pop culture websites) and use Tor to research more serious topics.
 What would happen if I tried to do that?
 
 I myself am late to the privacy philosophy - I'm using Gmail :-(  Most
 Tor users are far more serious than I am about being all anonymous,
 all the time.  The real question is this: Why do you only want
 anonymity some of the time?  I can infer that you prefer the
 convenience of Flash games and Javascript-enabled web pages.  Every
 security decision involves trade-offs, and if that's your decision,
 then there you are.
 
 Also, which programs would need to be reconfigured? The only ones
 I really use in conjunction with IE are iTunes and Adobe, and that's mostly 
 for recreation.
 
 You might be surprised how many programs you currently run access the
 internet.  Or even that are running without you realising it!  For an
 eye opener, download a personal firewall like Zone Alarm or BlackIce
 and set it up to ask you about every request the system makes to the
 internet.  In a very short while, you will get tired of all the
 prompts.  That's because there are many, many processes that want to
 talk to the internet - even Windows itself does it.
 
 This isn't intended to scare you, but to inform you.  Security is all
 about trade-offs and compromises.  If you are an activist in an
 oppressive country, I would not advise you to run any Flash-based
 game, ever.  If you're in the US, maybe the fact that they track you
 only 80% of the time is good enough for you.  Remember, your computer
 is almost constantly using the internet whether you have iTunes
 running or not.  This is why really serious people don't use the Tor
 Browser Bundle; they know that Windows is leaking personal information
 all the time.
 
 People here recommend Tails (https://tails.boum.org/) because it's a
 way to get the entire computer to use Tor.  Maybe, for you, the
 convenience of Flash and Javascript is just too important to give up.
 That's fine, but understand that you're trading anonymity for
 convenience.
 
 Try Tails for a while and see what it's like to be pretty much
 anonymous on the web.  If that's too inconvenient, try the Tor Browser
 Bundle.  You'll be better equipped to make decisions about anonymity
 vs convenience after you've tried the tools out.

Re: [liberationtech] Secure Android guide?

2013-07-15 Thread Jon Camfield
Julian - this is an excellent and concise quickstart guide to Android
security -- have you considered posting it into
https://github.com/opensafermobile/materials ?  Those materials which
were posted on the http://safermobile.org/ site (which is now
offline), but they're beginning to show their age.

 Hello!
 
 If I want Android phone and have it be most secure, how to do it?
 Is there some guide with steps?
 
 Like this:
 
 1- Buy some handset such as X, Y 2- Re-flash to Z firmware 3-
 Change P settings to J ... 4- Install OrBot, RedPhone, and so on
 
 What is recommended here by experts?
 
 PS: I am willing to have device ONLY for secure communications.
 
 Disclaimer: while some journalists/people call me an expert I've
 never, ever named myself as such!
 
 Firstly, smartphones are a huge risk if you're really concerned
 about your security. Nonetheless, here's a start:
 
 You can install CyanogenMod - and not install the Google suite -
 for a pleasant and largely Google-free experience. To be safer,
 don't install a nightly build. Take out the SIM card. Flash
 CyanogenMod using the simple instructions for your device on their
 website. Encrypt the file-system once the device is installed. Set
 up a 6-or-more line swipe pattern without visual feedback (and keep
 your screen clean!). Disable developer mode and MTP browsing, until
 you need it. Connect the device to a wireless network you control.
 Install DroidWall (or similar open source firewall) and lock down
 any unknown and/or promiscuous processes (vastly less with
 CyanogenMod than Android). Don't use Google Play. Download and
 install OopenVPN client and tunnel to your favourite trusted 
 OpenVPN server. Put on OrBot and run the OrWeb Tor browser.  Edit
 your exit nodes to those that suit.  Install Firefox and requisite
 extensions that protect against cookie tracking etc. Use StartPage
 instead of Google as your default search engine.  Don't install any
 random games or other software. If you need something like a PDF
 reader, be sure it's open source and the APK you download checksums
 out (SHA256).
 
 I've done the above, more or less, with my last two Android phones.
 My SIII is especially good to work with. I've audited it on the
 wire and I trust working with it so far. How you use it is another
 thing. If you rarely need to make calls over the cellular network
 then use Airplane Mode until you need to call - that'll get you off
 the grid where cell provider location tracking/logging is 
 concerned. Better still, don't use a SIM card at all and
 tunnel/ZRTP VoIP with something like RedPhone.
 
 Cheers,

 that again about telling people to not carry phones?

Or the unspoken but equally massive database that our credit cards
generate about our location and detailed buying habits; but try living
any approximation of a normal life without one.

 I understand very well that giving people advice that is
 insufficient isn't acceptable.  However, giving people advice
 they're going to ignore wastes their time, destroys your ability to
 be an adviser on issues where they might take your advice, and
 doesn't result in any better outcomes.
 
 We as the security community need to stop doing this and come up

Channeling Gunner for a moment, can we get a love bomb here?

I think the key is that it's time to *also* support the average
user.  We can't stop working to create systems that are as secure as
possible for the people who are directly targeted and whose lives are
at risk -- but we also cannot only support that very motivated individual.

If we can improve the baseline - making everyone more secure from a
variety of threats, we start winning at a much longer-term game; and
we make the extra mile that people on front line have to do to be even
more secure a bit less challenging.

This means tools have to be easier, and need to be usable at a basic
level without training.  Is the level of security they'll be at good
enough for {insert problematic context/country here} ? No, of course
not, but it's a hell of a lot better than an unpatched WinXP box with
out-of-date anti-virus and outlook express.

I feel like the ladder for security tools is missing rungs on the
bottom 2/3ds of it, and we're at an amazing (and frightening) point in
history to build those rungs in.

 First: thanks for the followup/information/analysis.  Most

To follow up on what I'd mentioned as possible further things to test,
yes it does follow redirects (but sadly does not follow looped
redirects), and yes it follows things that the skype client has
determined are links (generally anything that starts with www..., not
just http...).

Interestingly, Firefox, on hitting my redirect-loop, bounced back and
forth for a bit before giving up, the MS scan only hit the URLs once.
 Is this because it's coded to detect loops, or is it only scanning
links once per some timeframe?

 Second:
[great walk-through of why this summary below is accurate snipped]
 
 Bottom line: either Microsoft is telling the truth, in which case
 this was a hopelessly inept and ridiculously ineffective malware
 scanning exercise, or they're lying and just threw this fabricated
 story against the wall to see if it would stick.  My money's on the
 latter: I think they're evil, not stupid.

I agree -- not sure I'd go straight to evil, but I find it too far

 Heise Security is reporting that Microsoft accesses links sent over
 Skype chat.[1]
 
 Everyone who thinks that's the *only* thing that Microsoft is quietly
 doing behind everyone's back, raise your hand.
 
 And incidentally, the proffered rationale for this doesn't fly, given
 that (a) they're only sending HEAD: actually scanning destination URLs
 for malware et.al. would require fetching the whole page and (b) they're
 only retrieving HTTPS URLs (per Heise) which is not what someone actually
 looking for malware would do.

Let me address (b) first - I want to clarify that there is HEAD scanning
on HTTP URLs, *not just HTTPS*.

This comes from the same IP, with a 2-3 hour delay from posting in skype
to seeing in the logs:

65.52.100.214 - - [15/May/2013:09:16:33 -0700] HEAD /skype.html
HTTP/1.1 200 320 - -

I'm doing some follow-up tests to see if it follows redirects, links
posted without http:// or https:// , links without www.* and so on.
This could inform the utility of (a) (I'm arguing as a devil's advocate
here).  Given that MS might have an existing catalog of malware sites
and/or a separate method for finding new ones; this HEAD scanning may be
looking for new, unknown redirects to known malware sites. (However,
this wouldn't find in-page redirects or javascript redirects/additions,
and a number of other popular malware/adspam distribution tools).

  Moreover (c) even if they classified
 a URL as malicious, let's say https://example.net/blah, the recipient
 of said URL is likely to access it via a data path outside their control,
 thus -- unless they blocked it *inside* Skype -- they have no way to
 prevent access to it and delivery of whatever malware payload awaits.

Skype does detect and activate links based on some regex-like system, so
it's remotely possible that this same process could have an overridden
link to a pass-through warning page/etc.

Also could be worth testing...

 
 Source code is truth; all the rest is smoke and mirrors, hype and PR.
 If Microsoft had the *slightest* interest in telling y'all the truth,
 then they would have answered the group letter earlier this spring with
 code, not with glib prose crafted by a committee of talented spokesliars.
 
 ---rsk
 
 p.s. Heise's discovery is an existence proof that it's possible to
 intercept the contents.  Therefore we must presume that other entities
 besides Microsoft may have this capability -- doubly so given that some
 of those entities have not only the resources, but the motivation.

It's also possible that the skype client is reporting these urls
separately from the content of a chat as part of its link-verification
and activation.  As you say, without the source, it's not really knowable.

More interesting, the IP is listed by ARIN as being from Redmond, which
means that at the very least, the URLs pass through the US and could be
subject to warrants, NSLs, and so forth; which is somewhat at odds with
the Skype-data-is-in-Luxembourg text from
http://www.microsoft.com/about/corporatecitizenship/en-us/reporting/transparency/
:

What is Microsoft and Skype’s position on CALEA?
The U.S. law, Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, does
not apply to any of Microsoft’s services, including Skype, as Microsoft
is not a telecommunications carrier. Skype is an independent division
headquartered and operating under Luxembourg law.

For the hosting side, you should also look at VirtualRoad; I've
recently been working with their team on a humanitarian site, and
they've been nothing but amazing.

For DDoS protection, there is also Deflect.ca - it's an open source
DDoS mitigation tool (any group can set a Deflect system up for a
family of sites using a collection of low-cost virtual servers), and
it is also providing this as a free service to qualifying sites
(independent media, human rights, and related).  The benefit of this
is that you can set it up before an attack; it adds a level of
security to your site, speeds it up, and you keep 100% control over
the site itself.

2011-01-17 Thread Steve Camfield
Package: snmpd
Version: 5.4.3~dfsg-2
Severity: minor

The init script checks whether snmptrapd is supposed to be running in
start and stop, but not in status. so it either needs a separate init
scripts for the two daemons, or a wrapper around status that checks if
it something should be running.

Please find attached my first stab at a patch.

2008-02-27 Thread Jon Camfield
I'm having this problem in Flock and Firefox 2, but not Opera, Firefox 3
Beta 3, or IE7 (surprisingly enough) (Windows XP, also had problems in
Linux/Flock but didn't check other browsers.  It seems to be that the data
load-in from Google isn't succeeding in these cases?)

 Kevin et al.:

 I am experiencing a similar problem using my Mac, but only in Camino v.
 1.5.5 and v. 1.6b2 (no problems using Safari).  I find if I reload an
 Exhibit in Camino it tends to work the second time, but subsequent reloads
 of pages sometimes load the Exhibit data and sometimes it does not.
  Interestingly, I do not experience this problem loading an Exhibit page
 that has a Timeline, but do experience it for Exhibit pages having a Map.
  All of the pages I am having the initialization problem with had been been
 working fine for several weeks or longer but I noticed the problem this
 morning.

 An Exhibit map page experiencing the problem is
 http://www.swingingsammy.com/schools/20052006ADM.html .  An Exhibit page
 not experiencing the problem is at

 You can see an example of this intermittent behaviour here

 Firebug shows my data file is loading, so I don't think thats the
 problem. There is a 404 for local.js

 I've tested this running a local version of the exhibit svn trunk [9151]

 Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

semicolon vs comma in Exhibit?

2008-02-08 Thread Jon Camfield
First off; Exhibit is an amazing tool; any developers who make it to DC;
lemme know -- I'll buy you a beer.

I'm trying to use Google's new form input to their spreadsheet to enable
people to add data to an Exhibit data spreadsheet, but Google does
comma-separated values for their checkbox input; does anyone know if there's
a way to transform those to semicolons automatically, or set Exhibit to
treat commas within a field as separators?

Thanks!
(also, is there an IRC channel somewhere for these questions, or is it
preferred to get the answers archived in mailman?)

I would guess that using that attribute means you simple do a copy/paste
on every query rather than editing each query with the query name.

Of course, there is always the possibility that Meditech could decide to
change something somewhere that could make this not work.  That is the
business we are in.  Any attribute, no matter how simple or how complex
is third party programming and as such, Meditech is not obliged to
consider it as they decide how they want/need to adjust their
programming to work.

But, the hard coding that is in this attribute is much less likely to
change than the reference to that coding in /S.LAST.QUERY.

Brian,

What are the gains to using the below instead of actually putting in
your mnemonic name in the attribute. Since you have to edit them anyway.
Is the only advantage the time savings of being able to just insert the
new attribute without any adjustments from query to query?  Are you
planning on running a script?

Is there any possibility that something will change so the
^/[ANS%0,[^A#0_ggv]]|0  won't work at some future update? Then someone
is stuck again making all those changes.

Just some questions.

Sharon

As you probably already know: the functionality of the variable
/S.LAST.QUERY changed with recent upgrades.

Our last update was prior to this change, so we still have 6,800+
attributes that use the /S.LAST.QUERY.  I have been asking Meditech to
undo this change but to no avail.  So, I have to edit those attributes.

Knowledge Base article 24608 (dated May 18, 2006) offers the suggestion
of using [^A#0_ggv] instead of /S.LAST.QUERY.  I have tested it, and
it worked in the few scenarios I tried.

To write to the current query, use: ^/[ANS%0,[^A#0_ggv]]|0,

In the past, I have also used: ^/[ANS%0,V(ggv)]|0, It is easier to
type.  

We don't have v5.5 yet, so I can't test it.

Will the shorter version still work in 5.5?  
Is one safer to use than the other?
What's the difference?

If you can't upload or are C/S here is the computed field

How to set the page characteristics on PAGE 1 match up with the actual
size of the label.  If these don't match correctly it can cause
problems.  See the following example

Chars/Line  54Lines/Page  6 Page Size   6
Left Margin  0
Chars/Inch  18Lines/Inch6

Based on these settings we are dealing with a 3 inch by 1 inch label.  

Divide the Chars/Line of 54 by the Chars/Inch of 18 and that equals
3.000  
Divide the Lines/Page of 6 by the Lines/Inch of 6 and that equals 1.  

A key to printing thermal labels is to have the size defined exactly or
else the label might not print correctly. The other issue is that the
report picture should also mach up with these characteristics.

RE: [MEDITECH-L] Magic-Physician office staff utilizing PCI

2006-09-07 Thread Debbie Camfield
All messages should be posted in plain text.  HTML will be converted to
attachments.The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com

We have the physicians and their staff call the medical records
department and have given the staff there two tools

1- the OE consult routine which will work if the patient has an active
account. This creates an associates that lasts for up to 90 days (
parameter) If the doc signs into to PCI and reviews the patient within
the 90 days a permanent association is created. If not, it drops off as
you know. We have a CDS attached to the OE procedure with various NPR's
written off the answers. 

2-  PCI maintenance, security options, patient security. The MR staff
can create a permanent association here.

We have a small physician base so our MR staff pretty much know which
docs use PCI, which ones don't, which ones to give a consult or
permanent association. Our rational is they are the ones who grant
access to the paper chart and they should be the ones who grant access
to the electronic chart too.

All messages should be posted in plain text.  HTML will be converted to

We have several off-site physician offices connected to our Meditech
system.  They use PCI to view information on their physicians' patients
and print info to set up their office charts.  But, for the most part,
the physicians in these offices do not use PCI, just the office staff.

The office staff users are set up in the MIS User dictionary to be
restricted to patients linked to physicians in the practice/group (pg 3
MIS User dictionary). The issue that repeatedly surfaces is when they
have a new patient being referred to the office that they have never
seen before, and the physicians in the practice have no link to these
patients in PCI.  So, the restricted office staff users are unable to
bring up the patient in PCI since no link exists between the patient and
the physician.

The Self-Assign feature is not an option for us since 99.9% of the
physicians in these practices are not going to get into PCI and add a
patient to their list so their staff can see the patient data in PCI.
They just do not have time for this.

Unrestricting the office staff users so they can access any patient in
our database in not an option due to HIPAA.

We did have one practice that would call IS and we would emulate the
physician and add the patient to the physician's patient list.  But we
do not want to continue with this and start receiving calls from
multiple offices.  And...the office staff does not like calling every
time they need to see a new patient in PCI!

Has anyone out there figured out how to meet the needs of the restricted
physician office staff users in regards to these new referral patients?
Thanks for any advice you can offer in regards to this issue.  This is a
very big problem for usand it gets bigger with every physician
office we grant access to...they all want to access patient info on new
referral patients

Yes we do send PHA clinical interventions to archive and PCI. 

You must have an archive system? Such as Valco, Blue Chip, Shams,
Meditech 

I used the PHA interventions dictionaries. Build an intervention, say NO
to Omit from PCI and YES to On MED REC Form.

Build an MIS medical records form - our is mnemonic 600010. 

Have Meditech link the two together in the PHA parameters - page 2. 
Make sure the archive parameter is also turned on. 

You will want to develop some type of idea of how you want the medical
records forms to be displayed in the future before you start sending
anything. There are some good knowledgebase articles about setting up
Medical Records Forms. I used a couple of those figured it pretty quick.

 Hi Debra

 There is functionality in PHA to do ADR's. We have a CDS attached. Do 
 you have any archiving??

 We built an MIS Medical Record Form and defined it to go the PCI. We 
 then had Meditech add this form in the PHA parameters to archive.
Voila.
 ADR's documented by pharmacists - go to PCI and to archive. If you 
 don't have archiving you could probably do something similar but print

 it out and file.

 Then to top it off I built an NPR based on the CDS which the 
 pharmacists can print on FAX to send off to any reporting bodies that 
 need the information.

 Hello,

 Our facility is Magic 5.4 SR3. We do not currently have NUR.  We have 
 OE, PHA, PCI, ADM.

 Currently when a doctor dictates at discharge that a patient 
 experienced an ADR for a specific drug, we have no automation to alert

 PHA of this documentation.

 We also do not have a system to then post this ADR to PCI or PHA
module.

 Any suggestions outside the NUR and CPOE Modules?

I would love to sent anyone who wants it a screen shot of the NUI style
menu we developed for clinicians. The file is too big for the list serve
so if you are interested emailed me directly and I will send it to you. 

Basically our users don't get a database look up at all. 

They get ONE menu with icons to different databases. They love it. Our
clinical informatics nurse and I developed it together. Almost %100 of
our ALL our clinical users use one of 4 menus.

Hi Debra 

There is functionality in PHA to do ADR's. We have a CDS attached. Do
you have any archiving??

We built an MIS Medical Record Form and defined it to go the PCI. We
then had Meditech add this form in the PHA parameters to archive. Voila.
ADR's documented by pharmacists - go to PCI and to archive. If you don't
have archiving you could probably do something similar but print it out
and file. 

Then to top it off I built an NPR based on the CDS which the pharmacists
can print on FAX to send off to any reporting bodies that need the
information.

Hello,

Our facility is Magic 5.4 SR3. We do not currently have NUR.  We have
OE, PHA, PCI, ADM.

Currently when a doctor dictates at discharge that a patient experienced
an ADR for a specific drug, we have no automation to alert PHA of this
documentation.

We also do not have a system to then post this ADR to PCI or PHA module.

Any suggestions outside the NUR and CPOE Modules? 

Thank you,

Don't go changing the menus to desk top!  If you keep the menus the
same, users will only have the color difference to contend with.  If you
have attributes or NPR reports that print to screen you may need to
adjust them to work with NUI because the row/column stuff is different.

I wrote a little NPR and attached it the housekeepers menu. As soon as
they clean a room they sign onto Meditech and run the CHANGE BED STATUS
routine - changing the room to CLEAN. Then they run a custom report
(attached) and print it to our central supply printer MM-012P. This is
essentially a printed notification.

Note the printer name on the report prompt. I am not really sure about
the process. I believe housekeeping cleans the room and Central Supply
restocks it with stuff to make it ready for the next patient. Honestly I
am not sure who acutally makes the bed.

We are a 5.4 Magic site. Once again, we are looking into using the
housekeeping function to improve the communication between
nursing/admissions/housekeeping. 

Is anyone using these functions?  Has it improved the process of moving
patients through the facility in a more timely manner?  Who enters the
data? Does all of housekeeping enter their own data or does the
manager/supervisor/lead person only have access? If you are using these

using these functions and had enough reason to toss in the towel?

On page one of the NPR writer our defaults for page size cut off the
bottom of the page when printed in Portrait. 

Change the Lines/Page value to 78 and the Page Size value to 80. 

Otherwise it my be that the model printer you are using just can't print
as low on the page as you like.

Back to the original topic, I graduated with a Plan II (lib. arts honors)
degree with more minors (concentrations, technically) than you could shake
a stick at (Philosophy, Spanish, and the new "Technology, Literacy 
Culture").  OTOH, I've been using computers since the beginning of the PC,
and doing web sites since 94, for free, for myself
shamelessplugGriffJon.com/shamelessplug, and for $$.
To the amazement of most of my friends, I never took a CS course since high
school.  I've slef-taught myself a smidigni of perl, and can do shell
scripts like no-one's buziness.

Where am I now?  I graduated in May 99, and am working for a local startup.
 My main task is researching, but I also designed out cryptographic process
and have been writing specs recently (amazing how useful the thought
processees from philosophy have been!)

The wonder of the lib.arts degree has been realized currently as the
ability to learn  and interface with customers.  Hell, the local Apple CR
department is 99% lib.arts grads.
The secret uses are far beyond just CR, tho.

With your background in programming and the Austin/Sillicon Valley job
market as it is, I wouldn't particularly worry that much.  Get a resume on
the web (yahoo, headhunter, monster, austin.jobs newsgroup...) with a good
objective on it and start beating the headhunters off with a stick.

Oh, c'mon--it was 40 bit encrypted anyway.  Distributed.net could break

guessing/hoping it was for export reasons that it was so low.  40 bit DVD
encryption is like saying that people can't or won't copy VHS because
they'd have to have *gasp* two VCRs.  What kind of freak has two VCRs?

The short of it is, both the music and video industries must realize that
if they release digital media, there's *nothing* they can do to protect it
from being ruthelessly copied by anyone willing to bother.  Not to say
analog is much better with TV-to-PC cards and whatnot.


So the music industry's claiming an 11% loss to MP3?  Do they know how good
they've got it?  89% of their revenue-producing customers, *89* percent,
would rather pay an inflated, ridiculous price for the CD rather than
invest a piddly amount of time in downloading the hits off of it for FREE.
Were I them, I'd be breaking out the chapagne.  This changes nothing.
Before this, people were swapping huge-ass .vcd files of movies ripped off
of VHS tapes taken at the movies.  Now they'll trace huge-ass .vcds ripped
from the DVDs.  Better quality. woohoo.  They still take up gigs worth of
space.  I'm not concerned about piracy going crazy, but I am concerned
about DVD going cold.

I suggest that if people start pulling out of DVD, that consumers demand a
DIVX-like settlement.  40bit can be found to be not a 'reasonalbe
expectation of privacy', I'd imagine, and their mismanagement and fumbling,
and Xing's huge Ops gives a great case for the consumer.  "It's not our

how did the DIVX settlement go? I didn't really care at the time ;p

I don't have the figures with me currently, but IIRC, all owners of a DIVX
system could receive some form of refund (like $100-150 that they payed for
the DIVX 'upgrade' for their otherwise normal DVD player) plus they get to
watch all their DIVX movies free of charge for one year from the
settlement, at which point they'll turn into drink coasters because there
will no longer be a central authority to dial-in to and receive
'authorization' to play.

Circuit City swallowed a $14Million loss from DIVX. heh.  I'm hoping this
will be a lesson to other media seeking central-authority type management,
though it seems like a lot of people are investigating pay-per-play
software...

   So, given that what I want to do would be non-commercial,
low-bandwidth (comparatively, it'd be pretty big for a 28.8 ;) ), and
(hopefully) not a security risk, do any of you know if TW would allow
this?

The policy you sign is for NO SERVERS, PERIOD.  Would they notice and/or
disconnect your account presuming you weren't being a bandwidth hog?
doubtful.  I know people who run personal FTP servers, and even full-scale
linux/apache based servers full-time without getting priveledges revoked.

This being said, you might want to check out DSL; as you could get a static
IP and less BS for only slightly more $$.

ON a related note, if anyone knows a good cheap/free webhosting for a
low-bandwidth, 10Meg site on Linux or any *ix with shell, SSI and CGI
access, drop me a line, I'm in the market now that I'm all graduated from
UT...

I'm going, but then, the job's paying me a flight.  The cost thru mongoose
travel is something under $210.

Linux PPC?

1999-03-10 Thread Jon Camfield

Anyone have the LinuxPPC CD around?  (preferable kernal 2.0.38 or later??)
A friend and I are planning to have a Mac vs PC throwdown-- two machines,
both with comprable Linuxes, same processor speed, same L2 cache, etc.  He
has a new G3 and needs to get LinuxPPC for cheap (or borrow for free), so I
figured I'd ask y'all.

re:Roadrunner

1999-03-08 Thread Jon Camfield

Something that helped me out when I was getting such speeds out of my 56.6
that I got from this group in fact was to make sure that your IRQ is set
correctly--it might be default set to a weird IRQ (my modem was com 3, but
used IRQ 10 for some ungodly reason).

OK, so most of y'all probably saw this on Slashdot already, but still.

Linus is scheduled to appear on MSNBC Chat tonight at 7:30 (Central?I hope...)

Various modem probs?

1999-01-14 Thread Jon Camfield

I just got RH 5.2 and am pretty green with linux, so am having more than a
few problem logging on to Telesys with it.  /dev/modem points to the right
place (I do hear it dialing and even connecting, and (using minicom) get
somewhere in the telesys dialin).  However, all the programs I've tried to
use to dial in tend to hang up relatively soon after connecting.  Minicom
shows the 'welcome to telesys' type stuff at an ungodly slow rate (modem is
a Newcom IFX 56k (X2 and v.90 compatible).  I've set the modem speed to
anything from 56700 to 230whatever with the same results, and everything
hanging up.

Today, I breezed by the SIGLinux homepage and found Daniel Rogers' dial-in
script and faithfully typed it in under Linux, but dip kept returning:
"
mammon2: unable to look up host name
"
(mammon2 is the temporary name of the system, entered in Linuxconf)

any ideas, folks?  Should I set the modem to 38,400 to see if that works,
and if so, is there any chance I can recover 56k speeds?

Thanks
