Skype - the good, and the ugly

Use Skype IN and Skype out at your own risk .. and be careful. I am not alone in getting burned by deceptive/confusing advertising. As you may know, Skype is a nifty program that allows one to make computer to computer telephone calls free and will allow one for a fee to make calls to a real telephone and and for another fee to have a telephone number. It works ok. But I am very unhappy about the plan and the billing.

Ethernet Aliasing for Fun and Wireless Survival

I had a small Technical Epiphany the other day that I wanted to share. I got Ethernet Aliasing to work with Ubuntu Gutsy Linux and it turns out to be quite simple in retrospect. Why might you want to do such a thing? In my case, to tweak my Wireless settings while I used the Internet. My Buffalo AirStation Wireless Bridge was working poorly and I needed status to help debug it. I really wanted to access two different IP networks, without routing, on the same physical wire at the same time without buying a new Ethernet card - which in the dark past would have been the "proper" way to do this.

Updates to the POV Call for Entries Admin Tool

Jim Tarvid, tarvid@ls.net

Summary

This project addresses most of the issues in the file SUB-tarvid-2008.doc amended by email correspondence with David Nanasi. Parachuting into a large code base requires fitting code in a manner consistent and compatible with that code base in order to solve problems and implement desired functional enhancements cost-effectively.


The code base is called SSPS by its author Mark Vose, author of the initial application. A deliberate attempt was made to reuse the code base and retain the look and feel.


The work plan consisted of:


Call for Entries - Administrative System

A collection of PHP scripts to manage film submissions and evaluations.

POV

POV (Point of View) presents a series of independent non-fiction films each year on PBS. We were asked to modify the administrative interface (which we can't show you). We can tell you a bit about parachuting into a large obscure code base in PHP.

Another mistress

Another mistress -

I think I'm having an affair. Maybe it's the seven-year itch. Maybe it's an old flame. Maybe it's the clothes Zen wears. I find Zen Cart alluring.

Don't misunderstand that my love died for Drupal. The ready marketing infrastructure of Zen Cart, however, drew my wanton gaze.

Calendar added to LSNet website - Classfieds removed - New WYSIWYG Editor

A "Calendar" link has been added to the "Primary Links" menu at the top of the page. A Calendar contains references to "Events". All logged in users can post "Events" via the "Create Content" link in the the users personal menu. Users are encouraged to post events to which they are connected. Usual caveat about "playing nice".

Classifieds have been decommissioned. Use your personal blog to post offerings and needs until we figure out how to fill this function better.

TinyMCE has been replaced by FCKEditor. The WYSIWYG editor is now optionally invoked by the poster by clicking (Open rich editor). Have fun and use the forums to post questions.


Drupal 6 Support by LSNet

LSNet is now supporting Drupal 6.x. It is early in the "module" season meaning many of the modules available for 5.x are not available for 6.x and many of the modules for 6.x are either in alpha, beta or HEAD (current development snapshot).

For people getting started in Drupal, 6.x may be a good choice. It takes some time to assimilate each module and more are becoming available each day. For those with dependence on specific modules, e.g. ecommerce, stick with 5.x.

We have established a "reference" site http://drupal6.ls.net/ to monitor developments and try out features as they become available.


Drupal Camp Galax I Redux

The first session was attended by five people and culminated in the creation or augmentation of four websites.

Starbuck benefited from a previous session and a commitment to publish weekly. Incremental progress bears fruit over time and a distance learning course is now in preparation.

Wolfe Services revived a previous website. Stephen has been posting to the LSNet page - regularly and seems to appreciate the company.

N4ZDA realized that one can contribute to one's own website with Drupal and is looking forward to a revival of the dreams he had in college.

Celina Bonita is bent on building a family website and has dreams of developing a commercial website in the future.
