Re: Linux for time lapse and wifi?
A lot depends on what kind of camera you are using. My arduino hack that Ted pointed to worked great driving a Sony Alpha DSLR and would likely work with similar DSLRs with some tweaking. It would require cutting up a shutter release cord ($10?) Last I looked gphoto2 didn't support pulling images from my camera model, so you may need a way to manually get the images. As many have said, driving a USB webcam is pretty simple and probably your best bet. If you want to spend ~$50(?) get a Raspberry Pi, the camera attachment w/ extra long ribbon. That works great for me. The RPi3 has wifi, so just provide power and some scripting to take the image and push it somewhere for processing. The RPi3 is probably powerful enough to collect images and create periodic timelapse videos. Depending on your bandwidth, you could have the RPi just livestream directly to youtube. It isn't a timelapse, but does let you keep an eye on something and can go back and review anything missed. I did that for a couple snow storms last April.

Re: Modern Linux scanners

For scanning via the page feeder, using a USB connection is much easier/faster. And supported by SANE.

Nashua Telegraph article on MythTV installfest
Today's Nashua Telegraph has an article on the front of the second section Who needs TiVo when you’ve got a room full of geeks? by Dave Brooks. You'll need to be a subscriber to get to the article: http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070404/COLUMNISTS03/204040339 Here are some quotes: - Kaufman was at New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord thanks largely to Jon “Maddog” Hall, Amherst’s world-famous Linux guru. (The two men are practically neighbors but hadn’t realized it previously – another nod to geek-led community building.) Hall is executive director of Linux International, in which role he zips around the globe advocating open source. But closer to home, he’s also a driving force within the Greater New Hampshire Linux Users Group, the biggest of the state’s several LUGs. In that role, occasionally he brings together Granite Staters who love to plunge waist-deep into computer code, and organizes an open-source project. - The MythTV project was born in 2002. Like most open-source projects that depend on the effort of volunteers, it remains in what might politely be called a state of flux. In other words, it works (sort of, usually) but it’s not easy. Alas, it remained in flux Saturday, when things did not go quite as smoothly as was hoped, largely because the technical leader called in sick. “We may have to delay the follow-up,” Hall said, ruminatively tugging on a long white beard that invariably draws Kris Kringle comparisons. I was only able to hang around for the morning, and folks were still wrestling with software downloads when I left. - If they can create a device that makes TV shows I want to watch, then even I will learn how to assemble it. Although maybe that’s too mythical even for MythTV. - -marc -- Marc Nozell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://nozell.com/blog signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

A lot of search sites (google, technorati, MSN search, etc) let you setup searchs that return in RSS format. For example anytime someone mentions, say my name, in a blog, it shows up in the aggregator. Flickr lets you create feeds based on particular tags, say all those photos tagged with MySQLUC06.

Unable to find any relevant info on google, I'm thinking it might just
solve itself if I upgrade to RedHat 9, then FC2.
I don't want to do a fresh install, because I'm not at all versed in
restoring all my personal data and preferences, and don't want to hassle
with it. I do have a backup of my data in case there are problems.
Does anyone know how I would find out which 3rd-party packages FC2 is
concerned with -- so that I might then uninstall them before the upgrade?
I've not done that upgrade, but when you get the message, try
switching to one of the other virtual consoles. The Red Hat
installs display more information there and it may give you a clue.
You could also try to figure out the offending package by running
something like this:
# rpm -q --queryformat '%{NAME} / %{DISTRIBUTION} / %{VENDOR} \n'
-qa|grep -v Red Hat
On one of my servers this is some of what I see:
hpasm / (none) / Hewlett-Packard Company
MySQL-server / (none) / MySQL AB
j2sdk / (none) / Sun Microsystems
DSDB / (none) / Altiris Inc.
mxconsole / (none) / PolyServe, Inc.
Then try removing those packages not provided by Red Hat.
Or you could consider using debian. :-)

I do have a backup of my data in case there are problems. A nice backup to another disk is always helpful when trying to restore configuration files. A while ago I put together an 130G external USB disk from pieces at CompUSA. Essentially a USB 2.0 external enclosure case and the cheapest large disk they had on sale. Now I use the following script to backup my laptop every morning when I get into work: #!/bin/bash mount /EXTERNAL echo Backing up /etc to /home/marc/Configs sudo rsync --progress -av /etc/ /home/marc/Configs/ echo Backing up /PHOTOS to /EXTERNAL/PHOTOS sudo rsync --progress -av /PHOTOS /EXTERNAL/ echo Backing up /home to /EXTERNAL/laptop-home sudo rsync --progress -av /home /EXTERNAL/laptop-home/ echo Backing up / to /EXTERNAL/laptop-rootpartition sudo rsync --progress -av -x / /EXTERNAL/laptop-rootpartition umount /EXTERNAL It is a little redundant. Both /home and /PHOTOS are copied to their own directories on the external disk as well as a copy under laptop-rootpartition. And the contents of /etc is copied twice too. There are other tools (mostly rsync + scripts) to keep dated versions without taking up a lot of space or tools that try to be smarter (unison). But I find rsync does the job. When the disk gets filled, I'll just clean it out some of the transient ISOs that got backed up to the external disk. -marc -- Marc Nozell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.nozell.com/blog/ ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
