Red Hat Indeed

2012-07-04 Thread David Kreuter
Happy 4th to all my U.S. brethren.
Here in Canada it is a work day. I'm traveling to Ottawa this a.m.
I start chatting with the lady next to me. She tells me she is just back
from Las Vegas where she was attending a Red Hat conference.
So naturally my ears picked up. Linux I say? 
She then picks up a bag, unties it ... and removes a hand made
red hat with all sorts of veils and tassels and stuff...
It looked like something you might where at graduation.
apparently there is a red hat society throughout at least North America
where they
make ... ready for it? Red Hats. She has a monthly get together to do
this and
they have an annual conference.
And for those of you who know (of) me ... I am not making this up!

I know you're not.  I've run into them before myself.  It seems to be more of a 
Southern US thing, since I've mainly seen them when at WAVV in Chattanooga.  
It's always a slightly surreal experience.  :)

Not necessarily!  There are several flourishing groups right here in central
PA - indeed I know one lady in our former church.  Purple is also favoured.
I think they even have an annual night out at our local minor league
baseball team.

Re: Red Hat Indeed

2012-07-04 Thread Dave Roeser

My Mom and many of her friends in Old Hickory TN (all in their late 70's
early 80's) are in the Red Hat Societyso I know you are not making
it up. I only get back there every 10 yrs or so (I am in Seattle) and in
2001 I gave them a couple of dozen of the Red Hat Linux bumper stickers
and they put them on their cars. My Mom has been asked several times if
she uses Linux.

I prefer to sysctl to list this stuff, it's what you should use to
change values and you can modify its config file to make changes permanent.

Re: Bad joke mobile app for System z

New Quick Reference for IBM System z mobile app
Access critical System z information — from the convenience of your
Smartphone
The free Quick Reference for IBM System z mobile app, now available for
Android, BlackBerry and iPhone, provides quick and easy access to the
latest System z product information, success stories, social networks,
and z experts.

Key features:

Latest product highlights, descriptions, and specifications
Client success stories
Automatic content updates
Core product content available without connectivity
Access to relevant social networks, venues, and z experts
One-touch communication with IBM
Links to more System z information on the Web
Sign-up options for additional exciting updates via e-mail or SMS

...can't see it replace shelves/bookcases of manuals, though it's a bit
more portable.

Now, having looked at it, it's hard to know where to start.

It's for Android, BlackBerry, iPhone -- so it wastes most iPad screen
real estate. Much 1x size text is unreadable; at 2x it's blurry and
cartoonish.

Has buttons Products, Case Studies, Communities, Favorites, Contact Us.

Click Products, What's New, New and updated products gets
announcements from 7/11/2011, 7/12/2011, and 10/12/2011. Great for
nostalgia, not so useful for current information.

Click Communities, Experts, get one expert: Willie Favero.

It seems an interesting idea done badly, then forgotten...



I can understand the possible merit of a tool for comparing prices at 
the supermarket one's in with what prices are available elsewhere, the 
information is useful immediately.


However, I wouldn't think anyone buys zGear so often or with so little 
thought. It's decades since I was involved with any of that sort of 
equipment, back then buying and selling such stuff was generally 
preceded by reevaluation of existing facilities, going round one more 
time to see whether a little more could be squeezed out of it, reviewing 
what we're doing today and what we might want to do tomorrow, 
considering alternatives, evaluating them and taking some of them for a 
test run and, eventually choosing something.


I'm going through that sort of process myself at the moment, considering 
a tablet. I've been aware of them, now I'm updating my knowledge and 
evaluating alternatives.


I don't see how a mobile app would help me buy computer equipment.

Our local -Boston -favorite dive bar is called the Red Hat. They don't do no 
Linux. The name refers to a lady of the night's chapeau  in a mural on the back 
wall.
