A growing number of industry organizations and Linux vendors are driving the consideration of Linux as the preferred desktop operating system for personal and business computers. Whether in search of a lower-cost alternative to licensing fees charged by popular desktop application providers, or to leverage the inherent security, reliability and manageability of Linux, more companies are starting to consider desktop Linux strategies and implementation.

White men bad; white dogs worse

White men bad; white dogs worse 04/05/2005 09:24 AM

We spent the weekend in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania with an anthropologist friend who has two 3-year-old bitches (Lab and Husky) and 4 acres of land on which Alex and Sammy could play with them.  One of the nice things about colleges located in areas where real estate is cheap is that the professors live close to the campus and are available to students for informal dinners and shared extracurricular activities.  Thus over the weekend we encountered a few other Gettysburg College professors.  I asked one of them whether faculty could bring their dogs to work.  She replied "The college's Affirmative Action lawyer, before she left, made up a lot of new rules.  One of them was that junior and senior faculty could not sleep together.  Another was to ban dogs in the buildings."

This is a good measure of how desperate PhDs are for jobs as college professors.  The college pays lower salaries, to people of the same age, as the public high school down the street.  The high school teachers were able to go to work at age 22 without suffering through a long period of starvation wages as graduate assistants.  The high school teachers are union members who ever have to worry about losing their job, compared to the college professors who live for 7 years in fear of being tossed out as a middle-aged has-been ("denied tenure" is the polite term for this event).  And now these poor souls are expected to get through their day without a dog at their side and without the possibility of an interlude with a more senior professor.

[Note to parents:  if you want to know why tuition prices have risen so fast, consider that a very small liberal arts school was paying a full-time lawyer to work on affirmative action; Walmart has a "Chief Diversity Officer" but they had $billions in revenue over which to spread the cost.]

HOWTO de-Xeni BoingBoing

HOWTO de-Xeni BoingBoing 03/19/2005 03:03 AM
Xeni Jardin: Jason Gill says,

Someone has posted a script for GreaseMonkey (a Firefox extension that lets you add your own Javascript code to any website, to remove ads or add features: Link) that automatically removes any post by Xeni when viewing BoingBoing."

Link< /a>. Of course, if you're not reading my posts you're gonna miss this one. D'oh!

Update: Jesse Andrews, the fellow who wrote this de-Xeni script, would appear to be busted. :-) Chad Hurley, who identifies himself as Mr. Andrews' employer, says:

Hi Xeni,

Just a note about Mr. Andrews and his "de-Xeni" plugin - We’ve caught him looking at far worse things than your "over the top" posts. Why he has picked you to filter, one may never know, but I have an idea for a plugin. Maybe I will add it to the Grease Monkey requests. It’s really simple. When Jesse opens Firefox, it directs Jesse to a folder on my server called, "Things Jesse needs to do today before the big hand is on 12 and the little hand is on 5"! Just an idea.

Keep on keepin' on,

Chad

HOWTO set up a VSAT in Iraq

HOWTO set up a VSAT in Iraq 04/19/2005 03:38 AM
Xeni Jardin: Jake in Iraq wrote a detailed post about setting up VSAT internet connectivity near Sulimaniya. One of the purposes this connection will serve: getting a voting office online. Jake's a pretty serious geek. He says he's been asked not to share exactly why he's there, or what exactly he's doing for whom, but this is sure an interesting post.

This is how I spent my day today. It took around 6 hours round trip to drive to Sulimaniya, Iraq. This in Kurdistan where we did the install. I learned some stuff, it's mostly simple labor but it raised some interesting questions in my mind about interception.

As far as I can tell, it's entirely possible to intercept any data being sent to earth in an entirely passive way. I'm going to look into this more before I make any outlandish claims, if you know, feel free to let me know.

(...) This [photo] is the lead engineer checking to find the 251 degree azimuth. The tool he's holding is totally awesome and old school. I think you could sail around the world with it if you were determined.

HOWTO stop procrastinating

HOWTO stop procrastinating 09/09/2004 08:59 AM
Cory Doctorow: On Merlin Mann's 43 Folders productivity blog, he runs through a great high-level overview of the geek-cult-smash, "Getting Things Done," a comprehensive and nerdy guide to systematizing yourself out of procrastination.

Stuff is bouncing around in our heads and causing untold stress and anxiety. Evaluation meetings, bar mitzvahs, empty rolls of toilet paper, broken lawn mowers, college applications, your big gut, tooth decay, dirty underwear and imminent jury duty all compete for prime attention in our poor, addled brains. Stuff has no “home” and, consequently, no place to go, so it just keeps rattling around.

Worst off, we’re too neurotic to stop thinking about it, and we certainly don’t have time to actually do everything in one day. Jeez Louise, what the hell am I, Superman?

So you sprint from fire to fire, praying you haven’t forgotten anything, sapped of anything like creativity or even the basic human flexibility to adapt your own schedule to the needs of your friends, your family or yourself. Your “stuff” has taken over your brain like a virus now, dragging down every process it touches and rendering you spent and virtually useless. Sound familiar?

HOWTO bl0g anonymously

HOWTO bl0g anonymously 04/08/2005 12:54 AM
Cory Doctorow: EFF has released a guide to blogging anonymously, with "basic measures people can take to keep their blogs anonymous and explores what the law says about discussing work-related issues online. Some advice is common sense; for example, don't post a picture of yourself if you want to stay anonymous. But for bloggers who want strong guarantees of privacy, EFF suggests using technologies like Tor or Anonymizer to prevent your blog-hosting company from logging your computer's unique Internet Protocol (IP) address. Bloggers who fear they could be fired for blogging are also given an introduction to laws that prevent an employer from punishing them for speaking out online."

The bad news is that in many cases, there is no legal means of redress if you've been fired for blogging. While your right to free speech is protected by the First Amendment, this protection does not shield you from the consequences of what you say. The First Amendment protects speech from being censored by the government; it does not regulate what private parties (such as most employers) do. In states with "at will" employment laws like California, employers can fire you at any time, for any reason. And no state has laws that specifically protect bloggers from discrimination, on the job or otherwise.

One way to make sure your blog doesn't earn you a pink slip is to make sure that you write about certain protected topics. Most states have laws designed to prevent employers from firing people who talk openly about their politics outside of work, for example. Be warned that laws like this do vary widely from state to state, and many are untested when it comes to blogging.

HOWTO: turn off html in your mailer

HOWTO: turn off html in your mailer 02/16/2004 01:14 PM
Here's a great overview of the reasons to eschew HTML for email, and an amazing, exhaustive primer on turning off html-mail-sending in dozens of mail clients. I keep my screen resolution high enough that most of the html mail I receive shows up at completely unreadable sizes -- plain text mail automativally sizes to my preferred scale, but not so html mail.

Many E-mail and Usenet News reader programs, usually the mail and news reader programs that come with browser packages, allow users to include binary attachments (MIME or other encoding) or HTML (normally found on web pages) within their E-mail messages. This makes URLs into clickable links and it means that graphic images, formatting, and even color coded text can also be included in E-mail messages. While this makes your E-mail interesting and pretty to look at, it can cause problems for other people who receive your E-mail because they may use different E-mail programs, different computer systems, and different application programs whose files are often not fully compatible with each other. Any of these can cause trouble with in-line HTML (or encoded attachments). Most of the time all they see is the actual HTML code behind the message. And if someone replies to the HTML formatted message, the quoting can render the message even more unreadable. In some cases, the message is nothing but strange looking text. For this reason, many mailing lists especially those that provide a digest version, explicitly forbid the use of HTML formatted e-mail. See examples section.

HOWTO: Find Mt. Everest from Space

HOWTO: Find Mt. Everest from Space 01/22/2004 02:03 PM
Mt. Everest, the tallest and most famous mountain of our planet, exhales a fascination which goes up all the way to the ISS.  That's easy to believe after taking a peek at this spectacular shot. However, that doesn't mean finding Everest in an easy task. To quote NASA: Space is a good place to ponder the world's extremes and nature's variability. For example, photographing the highest point on the planet is a favorite target (and a long-standing challenge) for astronauts orbiting the Earth. Despite Everest's planetary stature, it is not an easy peak to locate while zipping over the mountains at 7 kilometers per second. Luckily for us, the nice folks at JPL have made a step-by-step tutorial on finding Mt. Everest from space. Now, where do I sign up for those tickets?

HOWTO turn your bl0g into a gopher site

HOWTO turn your bl0g into a gopher site 04/04/2005 02:24 AM
Cory Doctorow: George Hotelling's April Fools' Day prank was converting his blog to a gopher site -- gopher being a text-only, menu-driven precursor of the Web ("gopherlog, or rlog for short"). In so doing, he created some scripts to simplify the process. He's posted them online for anyone who wants to convert her or his blog to a gopher site.

First, you need to get and install PyGopherd. It's fairly simple, just download it and follow the instructions in the manual to install it, then configure a directory for it to serve. I told it to serve ~/public_html/gopher/ but any directory will do.

Then, download feedparser, html2text and this script of my own design to create text files from an RSS feed. Set the output directory to the same one that your gopher server is using, set the RSS feed to your RSS feed and you're more or less done. For extra fun, put the script in a cron job so that it will keep updating with new items. If you do that, you'll also need to rm the old files (which really should be done in my script, but see the part above about this being a hack that needed to work in a couple hours).

There's plenty of room for improvement. For instance you could write a Python script for PyGopherd to parse the RSS feeds, which would cut down on all sorts of problems and be useful to literally tens of people.

HOWTO: Make a file sharing system. 06/22/2005 01:58 AM
The RIAA and many other local facsimiles in nations outside the USA are aggressively persuing file sharers. More and more files on the file sharing services available are fakes; they do not contain what they portend to be, or contain only 5 to 7 seconds on a loop. Leechers reduce the average download speed considerably. Some manage to circumvent most of these problems but do not offer satisfactory search. In short, there are plenty of reasons why it's time to introduce Yet Another File Sharing Service. This time, let's do it right. Read on for a detailed description of how solve all the problems that current file sharing systems are struggling with.
