Subject: [RndTbl] MUUG Meeting, Sept 8, 7:30pm -- Connecting your Computer
Message-ID: <200909011737.n81HbkZ01438@iron.cs.umanitoba.ca>

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, September 8.  The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:

   Connecting your Computer to the Real World

   This month, Adam Thompson will be covering the dizzying array of I/O
   ports and technologies available for making connections to (or from)
   your computer. There's at least three ways to hook up a monitor; at
   least three ways to connect a keyboard and mouse; at least five ways
   to hook up a printer or scanner... Do you actually know what all
   those ports on the back do? What plugs into where? Does UNIX support
   them all equally? Which one is best (in any given circumstance)?
   We'll attempt to answer these questions for you.

The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of
every month from September to June.  (There are no meetings in July and
August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a
MUUG member to attend.

   **********************************************************************
   Please note our meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave.
   (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to
   sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you
   (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15pm, 
   so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30pm. Don't be late, or you may
   not get in.  (But don't come too early either, since security may not
   be there to let you in before 7:15 or so.) Non-members may be required
   to show photo ID at the security desk.

   Limited parking is available for free on the street, either on Ellice
   Ave. or on some of the intersecting streets. Indoor parking is also
   available nearby, at Portage Place, for $5.00 for the evening. Bicycle
   parking is available in a bike rack under video surveillance located
   behind the building on Webb Place.

Subject: Copyright legislation input

Hello,

I wonder if you would re-post this email to your groups
mailing list? It's self explanatory and should be of
concern to many technical folks. Thank you.

	Bill

Hi,

I'm Bill McGrath. I write software, am a Director of the
Vancouver Linux User Group and am a founding member of the
Vancouver Fair Copyright Coalition.

I'm writing today with respect the ongoing consultation on
copyright in Canada. The federal government intends to
introduce new legislation early next year and is presently
soliciting input from ordinary Canadians. This process will
end on Sunday, September 13, 2009, so there is about one
week left for you to contribute your voice to the chorus
of Canadians who are deeply concerned about the changes
that lobbyists for transnational conglomerates are demanding
to copyright law.

When Bill C-61 was tabled in the House of Commons there was
widespread outrage at such a ham-fisted attempt to deal
with complex and sensitive issues. Fortunately, it was
dropped when Parliament was porogued. One of the strongest
criticisms of Bill C-61 was that government had not
consulted the people. But now we have our chance. Government
has decided to listen.

I'm sure you've all heard of the DMCA and it's downside. We
definitely don't want this in Canada. We need you to send an
email to government.

Of course, most people aren't experts. They don't know what
to say. So we've put together a submission guideline that
hits the main general points and a number of specific
points of special concern to technical folk - programmers,
administrators, technicians and so on.

Sending an email will take as little as ten minutes. I'm sure
you can find time in the next week to voice your concerns.
Numbers matter, so each and every email counts.

Our 4 Step Submission Guideline for technical folk contains
all you need to know to put together an email. It includes
examples, a glossary of terms and links to more information.
It lives at:
		http://faircopy.ca/participate

Please find the time, before Sunday, September 13th to express
your concerns to the government. Invite your friends and cross
post this email where it will help to get the word out.

Thank you for your time and your contribution. Democracy will
prevail.

		Bill

Subject: [RndTbl] Jumpy mice
Message-ID: <930FB2062CD74426920AA282F695F418@PCSalomon04>

At the last meeting I reported my problems with jumpy optical mice.
I had similar problems with five mice made by Logitech, Microsoft, and a generic
manufacturer. Every few minutes, the mice would cause the cursor to jump unpredictably to the top or bottom of the screen. The cursor would then have to be dragged back to the working area. An old fashioned ball mouse had no such problems although ball mice have their own annoying deficiencies.

On the advice of one of the members, I tried a laser mouse. I bought a Logitech MX400 Performance Laser Mouse for about $50. It solved my problems. It gives smooth and reliable response. I had previously thought that the word "laser" in mouse descriptions was just advertising hype and provided no actual advantage over an optical mouse.

Thank you to whoever it was that made that suggestion.

I've seen that jumpy behaviour in optical mice before.  In some cases, 
it was high-contrast diagonal lines on some mouse pads that seemed to 
confuse the mouse, so replacing (or removing) the mouse pad fixed the 
problem.  In other cases, it was the mouse that was failing and needed 
to be replaced.

Despite the marketing hype around laser mice, I do find they track 
better on most surfaces, though some surfaces will confuse even laser 
mice.  Logitech will be putting out a dual-laser mouse soon that can 
even track on a glass table, but it'll be fairly pricey ($100 price range).

If you're looking for a good cordless notebook mouse, several people 
here at the SCRC are quite happy with the Logitech V450 cordless laser 
mouse.  It runs for up to a year on 2 AA alkaline cells and has a tiny 
USB receiver that tucks into the mouse.  TigerDirect has them for about $54.

I will second Gilbert's recommendation. I have a couple of these mice and they 
are excellent. Staples often have them on at $20 off so the price is $50 or lower.

Hey all,
Not actually UNIX related, but since a lot of you are network admins you
might have some suggestions.

I'd like to keep an eye on a bunch of servers (~20) but all I need to know
is which ones are up or down, and if they're down, when they were last
"seen". Does anyone know of a simple, free tool that will do that? I don't
want details like number of packets lost or any such. Mostly I want to know
which machines shut down and in what order.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

	Thought I saw something like this on Freshmeat within the last couple 
of days. It was intended for rack units but it may suffice for your set 
up. I can't recall the name off the top of my head. It may be something 
like Rackit...

Nagios is a bit heavy for a simple ping test, but it's solid and there's
lots of examples out there..

I use Monit.

http://mmonit.com/monit/

Very simple configuration syntax with configurable alert parameters.
This example includes checking http service as well as ping. There is
also a web interface for checking the status of monitored entities,
which shows the "last seen" time, I believe. The "service detail"
screenshot shows it:

http://mmonit.com/monit/screenshots/monit_httpd1.html

check host foo with address 192.168.1.20
  if failed icmp type echo count 4 with timeout 15 seconds for 2 cycles
then alert
  if failed url
    http://your.server.com/path/to/whatever with timeout 15 seconds
    2 times for 2 cycles
    then alert
    alert **********@msg.telus.com
    alert **********@text.mts.net
    alert **********@text.mts.net
      only on { icmp, connection } 
      mail-format {

Subject: [RndTbl] MUUG Board Elections - FINAL CALL for Nominations
Message-ID: <4AB94299.4010800@cs.umanitoba.ca>

Hear ye, hear ye!

This is FINAL CALL for nominees to participate in the election
for the MUUG board.  Those elected will serve from October 2009 until
October 2010.  The deadline to nominate yourself, or someone else, is
September 29, 2009.  Instructions follow.

The MUUG board is charged with coordinating the meetings and other
events by the group.  It's fun, and you get a role in guiding the group.
All are encouraged to apply.

------------------------

MUUG Board Elections - Call for Nominations

Every October the Manitoba Unix User Group holds its Annual Meeting, the
main goals of which are to elect a new Board of Directors and to pass
any special resolutions.  (Aside from that, it is a regular meeting)
Any MUUG member in good standing can be nominated to run for a position
on the Board.

As of this writing, the following members of the current Board have let
their names stand for re-election:

Sean Cody		Senior System Admin.	Prime Focus VFX Services
Gilbert Detillieux	Systems Analyst		University of Manitoba
Michael Doob		Professor		University of Manitoba
Kevin McGregor		Network Analyst		City of Winnipeg
Montana Quiring		Systems Administrator	University of Manitoba
Doug Shewfelt		Systems Specialist	City of Winnipeg
Adam Thompson		Consultant		athompso.net

Of course, this list is just a starting point.  Any member in good
standing of the group can be nominated simply by getting the support of
one other member.  If you feel you would like to contribute to the group
by running for a board position, please don't hesitate to do so.  (In
fact, we'd like to see the number of board members increase.)

If you want to be nominated, or to nominate someone else, send a letter
to the group's postal box or deliver it in person to a current board
member.  The letter must contain the name, title, and employer of the
nominee, along with a short (100 word or so) biography, and must contain
the signatures of the nominee and one other member.  The letter must be
received no later than September 29, 2009, which is 14 days prior to the
October 13 meeting.

Although the by-laws require that the nominations be done in writing,
with signatures, you can speed up the process by sending e-mail to
<election at muug.mb.ca>, with the above information, and sending the
signed paper copy later.  In this case, please include the e-mail
address of both the nominee and the supporter on the CC: list of the
message, so that all parties concerned have a record of the communication.

Nominees should familiarize themselves with the MUUG bylaws, found here:

	http://www.muug.mb.ca/pub/bylaws/

If you have any questions about the election or the nomination process,
please contact Gilbert Detillieux, either by phone (474-8161) during
business hours, or by e-mail to <election at muug.mb.ca> anytime.

CONFERENCE  OVERVIEW
---------------------------------------------------------------------

CISSE 2009 provides a virtual forum for presentation and discussion of
the
state-of the-art research on computers, information and systems sciences
and engineering. CISSE 2009 is the fifth conference of the CISSE series
of
e-conferences. CISSE is the World's first Engineering/Computing and
Systems
Research E-Conference. CISSE 2005 was the first high-caliber Research
Conference in the world to be completely conducted online in real-time
via
the internet. CISSE 2005 received 255 research paper submissions and the
final program included 140 accepted papers, from more than 45 countries.
CISSE 2006 received 691 research paper submissions and the final program
included 390 accepted papers, from more than 70 countries. CISSE 2007
received 750 research paper submissions and the final program included
406
accepted papers. A total of 948 paper submissions were received for CISSE
2008 and the final program included 382 accepted papers, from more than 80

countries.

The virtual conference will be conducted through the Internet using
web-conferencing tools, made available by the conference. Authors will be
presenting their PowerPoint, audio or video presentations using
web-conferencing  tools without the need for travel. Conference sessions
will be broadcast to all the conference participants, where session
participants can interact with the presenter during the presentation
and/or
during the Q&A slot that follows the presentation. This international
conference will be held entirely on-line. The accepted and presented
papers
will be made available and sent to the authors after the conference both
on
a DVD (including all papers, PowerPoint presentations and audio
presentations) and as a book publication. Springer, the official
publisher
for CISSE, published the 2005 proceedings in 2 books and the CISSE 2006,
CISSE 2007 and CISSE 2008 proceedings in four books each.


Conference participants - authors, presenters and attendees - only need
an
internet connection and sound available on their computers in order to be
able to contribute and participate in this international ground-breaking
conference. The on-line structure of this high-quality event will allow
academic professionals and industry participants to contribute their work
and attend world-class technical presentations based on rigorously
refereed
submissions, live, without the need for investing significant travel
funds
or time out of the office.

The concept and format of CISSE is ground-breaking. The PowerPoint
presentations, final paper manuscripts and time schedule for live
presentations over the web had been available for weeks prior to the
start
of the conference for all registrants, so that the participants can
choose
the presentations they want to attend and think about questions that they
might want to ask. The live audio presentations were also recorded and
are
part of the permanent CISSE on-line archive - accessible to all
registrants - which also includes all the papers, PowerPoint and audio
presentations.

Potential non-author conference attendees who cannot make the on-line
conference dates are encouraged to register, as the entire joint
conferences  will be archived for future viewing.

The CISSE conference audio room provides superb audio even over low speed
internet connections, the ability to display PowerPoint presentations,
and
cross-platform compatibility (the conferencing software runs on Windows,
Mac,  and any other operating system that supports Java). In addition,
the
conferencing system allowed for an unlimited number of participants,
which
in turn granted us the opportunity to allow all CISSE participants to
attend all presentations, as opposed to limiting the number of available
seats for each session.

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers electronically in
Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format through the website of the conference
