According to http://freenode.net/services.shtml the services on
freenode are from atheme with some custom modules. There is also the
#freenode-dev channel on freenode if you want to report any issues.

[ubuntu-uk] Some info on NickServ

[Chris Wilson]

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone out there knew anything about NikServ, the IRC
nickname management bot, and specifically if there's someone out there
maintaining the code and to whom bugs can be reported?

Thanks,
Chris

Never used CAD myself, but this link suggests a whole lot of available
stuff: http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html

[ubuntu-uk] any of you have iNote tracker?

[Andrés Muñiz Piniella]

I'm trying to get it to work with the m210 project:
https://answers.launchpad.net/m210/+question/140326

But maybe somebody knows another option that goes around?

It basically is one of the stylus with tablet (but doesn't need tablet).
Pretty cool stuff for around 50 in amazon.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Research required ...

IDE problem: This was over the Christmas period in Asturias (a very nice
place in the north of spain). I went to several local IT shops and some big
shops and they did not have them in stock. Buy over the internet would have
been OK but I had no way of knowing if they where going to arrive in time
before I left. I knew there should be some sort of adaptor from SATA to IDE!
my sources have betrayed me! The only shops that could get it for me said
that it would be on the following day and that it would be 50-80euro. The
cheapest.
It was all for the best as the LCD screen started to fail. (hopefully it is
not Xubuntu's fault). Depending on how I held the box the fan would fall off
as well. A bit of a mess.

In a side note got a friend aquainted with jolicloud (ubuntu based as far as
I know) on his samsung netbook, a work collegue ditched xp for ubuntu and
another one is trying it out.  All seem OK with it cause I said that if they
had any problems to get back to me, and last I checked they where happy. And
I'm a mech eng but like a bit of IT.


In those lines, I would like to work on a Mech CAD program (use and if I can
develop): I was going for freeCAD but if any of you have suggestions that
would be great.

You couldn't find an IDE drive?  I think most of us have several in boxes
around the place, and e-bay seems full of them.

Well, I couldn't get the verify command syntax quite right, so I have given
up. The Schneier page is interesting though; full of crypto boffins making
outlandish suggestions. Thanks. R
