Re: [OCLUG-Tech] Recruiter colleague of mine looking for Linux specialist in Ottawa

I had this exact job in the past. It was by far the WORST job experience I've ever had. Funny story, the section about automation and such is bullocks. You will get in trouble for using automation. Apply at your own risk. -Jeff On Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 3:38 AM, Robert P. J. Day wrote: > (DISCLA

Re: [OCLUG-Tech] Wind River has some open linux positions in Kanata

Does anyone know how frequently Wind River has less dev oriented Linux roles? I'm a system administrator/system architect looking for work and there seems to be a shortage of 'Linux System Administrator' roles lately. Any leads are appreciated! Thanks, Jeff On Wed, Oct 30, 2013 at 11:15 AM, Rob

I think BlackIron Data should be able to do what you're asking for, at that price. If they can't, send me an email. I know someone there and can get you a deal. Jeff On Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 10:24 PM, David F. Skoll wrote: > Hi, OCLUGers, > > We have a bunch of colocated servers at iWeb in Montr

Then you alienate people in the east end and centretown. Travelling to Algonquin from Gatineau is going to take me ~1 hour, each way, IF I catch my connections. Heading downtown is 25 minutes at most. That's what not to like. On Fri, Mar 23, 2012 at 11:28 AM, Jon wrote: > On 21-Mar-12 3:23 PM, B

Re: [OCLUG-Tech] Virtual Presence Meetings using Open Source technology

2012-03-22 Thread Jeffrey Taylor
Personally, this has limited appeal. I would want to attend meetings to meet face-to-face with folks and have a good time. It's also a chance to get out of the house. I think that would be stifled with a 'webex' experience. It has as much appeal as those Redhat web conference emails I get. This is

Re: [OCLUG-Tech] AGM discussion -- location of meetings

2012-03-22 Thread Jeffrey Taylor
I believe the issue of justifying the effort involved in organizing these events would be resolved if people could more easily attend. As it is, quite a few people seem disinclined to attend simply because of the location. The location can stay the same but I think that attendance will remain an is

For whatever it's worth, my involvement would be increased if the location were more centralized. I don't know about others, but travelling from Hull to Algonquin has a limited appeal. Also, a hackathon sounds pretty interesting. I've been toying with the idea of starting a 'hack space' with more

[OCLUG-Tech] Migrating to Redhat/Suse from Debian

2012-01-12 Thread Jeffrey Taylor
Hey guys, I have an interview for a sys admin job. They're asking for Redhat/SUSE experience. Can anyone offer any suggestions(major differences/common locations, etc) for 'switching' from Debian? Any common caveats, use cases, variations or maybe even just 'FAQs' about switching. Thanks! Jeff 61

Re: [OCLUG-Tech] how does current email protocol support mail receipt verification?

2012-01-06 Thread Jeffrey Taylor
The only caveat with this is if your mail client blocks the loading of images by default. Spammers used the trick of a 1px X 1px transparent jpg to track their conversions so some mail clients stopped loading images by default. Jeffrey Taylor 613-325-1368 On 2012-01-06, at 8:14 PM, Glenn
