<P> Only two changes to LG's format this month:
|
||
|
<OL>
|
||
|
<LI> The author bios are the bottom of the articles again. Raj Shekhar
|
||
|
requested this, so he can print the articles and read them off-line while
|
||
|
still seeing the bios. As always, the lastest bio and contact info is on
|
||
|
the author's Author page.
|
||
|
<LI> The yellow articles table on the Front Page and Site Map is smaller now
|
||
|
(when viewed in a graphical browser). Now, if I could just make it smaller
|
||
|
vertically....
|
||
|
</OL>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<P> SSC was closed Christmas week so I had a wonderful five days off. I finished
|
||
|
a long-awaited project, updating the
|
||
|
<A HREF="http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/learn.html">Cheetah Users' Guide</A>.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<P> Then I started putting together a computer for my mom. Right now she's got
|
||
|
Windows 95 on a 486. I gave her the
|
||
|
<A HREF="http://store.linuxjournal.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=LJS&Product_Code=litw&Category_Code=B">Linux in the Workplace</A> book a month ago so that
|
||
|
the transition to Linux won't be a total shock. The book goes over the KDE
|
||
|
user interface step by step with lots of screenshots. Then I had her open her
|
||
|
Word documents on my computer so she could verify they opened properly and that
|
||
|
the user interface was OK, before I commandeer her monitor and keyboard for the
|
||
|
new computer. I had her try out AbiWord, KWord (part of the KOffice suite) and
|
||
|
OpenOffice Writer. Both AbiWord and OpenOffice opened all the documents, but
|
||
|
OpenOffice handled her headers/footers and tabs the best and had a slightly better
|
||
|
user interface. KWord failed to open two of the documents, which had a .doc
|
||
|
extension but were really RTF (Rich Text Format). She doesn't know how they
|
||
|
got that way. So I used "Save As..." in OpenOffice to convert them back to Word
|
||
|
format.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<P> Rather than installing Debian from scratch and remembering all my
|
||
|
customizations, I decided to clone my existing partitions and delete what she
|
||
|
won't use. That went well enough, although again I had to use "linear" in
|
||
|
/etc/lilo.conf instead of "lba32". That's the third drive it's happened with,
|
||
|
which confirms that it's my BIOS' fault, not the drives'. We'll see what the
|
||
|
new motherboard does when I connect it up.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<P> I did have trouble making a boot floppy. First, I couldn't find my Debian
|
||
|
rescue disk. Then I found a disk that booted my current system. It contained
|
||
|
just a kernel, no LILO. I could use <CODE>rdev</CODE> to change the root
|
||
|
device, but I didn't want to sabotage my only boot floppy, so I tried to make
|
||
|
another boot floppy. But every time I copied the kernel to a disk and booted
|
||
|
from it, it would hang after the "Uncompressing Linux..." message, saying something
|
||
|
like, "unexpected end of compressed data: system halted". One disk gave an I/O
|
||
|
error so I threw it out, but it wouldn't work on two other disks either. I tried
|
||
|
both <CODE>cp</CODE>'ing and <CODE>dd</CODE>'ing the kernel, but neither way
|
||
|
worked. Then I realized I could set up LILO for my new system from my old
|
||
|
system, so I did that instead. The first time I got the "L 99 99 99" error, but
|
||
|
the second time it worked.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<P> Friday my DSL went down, and I spent four days calling Qwest and The River
|
||
|
(my ISP) to do something about it. Actually, it's not "down" but there's 99%
|
||
|
packet loss, which is essentially the same thing. It would come up every
|
||
|
several hours just long enough for a bit of e-mail to slip in and out, and then
|
||
|
go down again. The ISP and Qwest wouldn't support Linux so I had to plug in my
|
||
|
roommate's Windows XP box so they could troubleshoot it. We checked the IP
|
||
|
configuration multiple times and reconfigured the DSL modem (which involves
|
||
|
plugging in a serial "management cable" and running
|
||
|
Minicom/Kermit/HyperTerminal and typing commands to a router OS). I kept
|
||
|
asking, "Can you see the ping packets going back and forth? Can you see the
|
||
|
ATM packets?" They could (sometimes), but I wasn't getting replies. I decided
|
||
|
to call them both once a day until somebody took responsibility for it, or I
|
||
|
cancelled the service, whichever came first. Finally on Monday, Qwest admitted
|
||
|
they were having severe hardware problems in the DSLAM (that's the DSL
|
||
|
connector in the central office), and that it had been going up and down for a
|
||
|
week. Contradicting what the woman had told me Sunday, that there had been a
|
||
|
DSLAM problem but they had fixed in at 10pm Saturday. It's doing a lot better
|
||
|
today (Tuesday), but it's still not fixed.

|

<A HREF="misc/backpage/lj-cover104.png">December cover</A>, then decided not to

|

see Ben Okopnik saying, "I knew it. I just knew it. You can't trust that Mike

idea, but then the Marketing department decided they couldn't have a picture of
|
||
|
somebody smashing people with a hammer on the cover, even if they are lego
|
||

My only guess is that you're using Linux (good man!)
|
||
|
and that you've neglected to realise that you
|
||
|
currently have the BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death)
|
||
|
screensaver running.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I know it is confusing, especially as you've probably
|
||
|
only just made the crossover from Windows to Linux,
|
||
|
but bear with us, the BSOD screensaver is only a
|
||
|
joke!! You poor thing -- you don't have to be haunted

|

|
(1) What is a gang? Is a group of close friends a gang? If not, what would they
|
||
|
have to do to be a gang? Get a name? A clubhouse? A secret handshake?
|
||
|
Choose a bandana color? Look menacing? Sell drugs and shoot people?
|
||
|
|
||
|
<P> (2) I bet you can already answer this. If not, you can ask some gang members, or
|
||
|
see any of the hundreds of studies and documentaries that focus on this
|
||
|
question. Or take any pop movie (Colors, West Side Story, American History X,
|
||
|
8 Mile, A Clockwork Orange, Quadrophenia, etc) and ask, why did those people
|
||
|
join gangs? What benefits do they get by being in them? What is their family
|
||
|
life like? Is there something missing in their family life? Is there any
|
||
|
connection between the two?
|
||
|
|
||
|
<P> Quadrophenia has a lot to say about this. Why is Jimmy a mod? Why is he so
|
||
|
excited about the demonstration in Brighton? Why is he so devastated when he
|
||
|
goes to Brighton again and it's empty? How does his mom treat him? How does
|
||
|
his dad treat him? When he tries to convince his girlfriend not to dump him,
|
||
|
what are their differing views about the Brighton rumble?
|
||
|
|
||
|
<P> (3) depends on how you answer (1).

Please note that after years, the registration on the domain name

IMMEDIATE transfer.

With so many companies that could benefit from this domain, along with what

I am Madam Brenda Williams wife/widow to late Gen Patrick Williams
|
||
|
an Army Officer, im also a mother of 3 lovely boys, Patrick
|
||
|
(12yrs), Kevin (8yrs), Dotun which is a traditional name, he his 5
|
||
|
yrs, and im also the last wife out of 3, married to my late husband.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<P> Before my husband died he willed all his landed property to his elder
|
||
|
wives and children, all the elder wives and their children enjoyed
|
||
|
what is left of our husbands wealth, leaving me the last wife with
|
||
|
nothing, well we did not get along well when he was alive but he
|
||
|
loved the kids i had for him.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<P> Things are not going too well, after 1yr of his death, i mean raising
|
||
|
the kids, sending them to school, clothing them even shelter and
|
||
|
feeding, my parents are already dead, just me in this miserable world
|
||
|
and i have just 2 months to evacuate the house im staying now, all
|
||
|
the other wives dont allow me in their houses including the house i
|
||
|
used to live with my husband before he died or even render any kind
|
||
|
of help, but i really loved my husband.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<P> Why i have contacted you is because my late husband left some money
|
||
|
for his children (7 million US Dollars) deposited in a Security
|
||
|
Company(www.XXXXX.net) abroad, which was revealed to me by
|
||
|
the family lawyer just 6 months ago, which he claimed to be the time
|
||
|
stated on the will by my late husband to avoid clashes between myself
|
||
|
and the other wives.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<P> But this money can only be claimed when each child is up to 21yrs in
|
||
|
age, not even myself can extract from this fund according to the
|
||
|
will. The other option is if i can provide someone(FORIEGNER) who
|
||
|
will stand as a caretaker for my kids and my self, and help invest
|
||
|
this money with profit in future.
