EMail bizarrity

Hi, Jon Oxer!

Some people have been having trouble, but many others not. I think that a copy of the error messages you happen to see happen — then pasted in by you (y'all if not Jon) as a reply to this — might help me ta figgah out precisely what is coming unstuck and where.

An ISP and a few other people have done things to the system(s) involved, things which seem generally to have helped (some of them quite markedly), but sadly not always.

Here is a message I posted in reply to your message to the linuxau committee list the other day. Yell if and when you want to take the helm. I'm pretty new to the linuxau way of doing things so I've been a pretty quiet participant.

Pia also replied to your post with a question asking if youd like to rejoin.

Thanks for the ++
and welcome back =)

Great to hear from you with wry humour intact.
Yell if at anypoint youd like to recommittee yourself
but sounds like youve got plenty to juggle in any case.

Many severals of Bravo! from this corner ofr the world to yourself and your family and friends as from here it looks like the whole is
a determined and effective unit for recovery.

Kim is also a city cyclist.
I reckon there need to be some big changes to the space allowed for bikes on the road(ie the bikelane in the doorspace of a parking lane is not a brilliant default setup) and to people's sense of responsibility about bikes anyway.

Waving from here.

Thanks, y'all. I think I need to read more about some of PostFix's fancier virtualisation tables in the morning when I have (mostly) brains again. The reason being that what I see matches the internal documentation as I understand it but I'm not certain that I do understand it. (-:

Lucy, as far as I can tell, the trap was deliberately set every time.

Mere laws aren't going to stop that, and issuing death penalties for being a malicious butt-wipe will simple add challenge and derring-do for the forms of utter idiot who don't realise that "achieving" this level of density is terminally stupid. And turn getting away with said stupidity into an all-or-nothing situation, even though in the criminal's case here he didn't have a chance of so obscuring things.

Chili/Janet (and I guess Pia), as with everything else you ever do, success relies on a persistent (but not damning or erosive) awareness of the random meatheads who thrive on their pathetic "talent" for hurting other people.

Dodge them, work around them, find ways to eliminate or at last massively curtail their pathetic cost, and your life will be a much happier one.

In cycling, as in almost anything else, the key appears to be a gentle skepticism of odd circumstances, somewhat assisted by a consistently undying drive to make harmful idiocy completely unrewarding for its proponents.

This often has two effects; immediate denial of the losers' pleasure in hurting people (demotivation), followed by a lasting education for said losers (that perhaps being a lasting waste of space and/or brains ain't gunna work -- that means for ever and for real; and that there are better ways of living and there is more to live for).

every-application-is-part-of-a-toolkit at work

I have a LibreOffice Impress slideshow that I wish to turn into a narrated video. 1. export the slideshow as PNG images (if that is partially broken — as at now — at higher resolutions, Export Directly as PDF then use ‘pdftoppm’ (from the poppler-utils package) to do the same). 2. write a small C program (63 lines including comments) to display those images one at a time, writing a config file entry for Imagination (default transition: ‘cross fade’) based on when the image-viewer application (‘display,’ from the GraphicsMagick suite) is closed on each one; run that, read each image aloud, then close each image in turn. 3. run ‘Imagination’ over the config file to produce a silent MP4 video with the correct timings. 4. run ‘Audacity’ to record speech while using ‘SMPlayer’ to display the silent video, then export that recording as a WAV file. 4a. optionally, use ‘TiMIDIty’ to convert a non-copyright-encumbered MIDI tune to WAV, then import that and blend it with the speech (as a quiet b

new life for an old (FTX) PSU, improved life for one human

the LEDs on this 5m strip happen to emit light centred on a red that does unexpectedly helpful things to (and surprisingly deeply within) a human routinely exposed to it. it has been soldered to a Molex connector, plugged into a TFX power supply from a (retired: the MoBo is cactus) Small Form Factor PC, the assorted PSU connectors (and loose end from the strip) have been taped over. the LED strip cost $10.24 including postage, the rest cost $0, the PSU is running at 12½% of capacity, consumes less power than a laptop plug-pack despite running a fan. trial runs begin today.

boundaries

pushing the actual boundaries of the physical (not extremes, the boundaries themselves) can often remove barriers not otherwise perceived. one can then often resolve an issue itself, rather than merely stonewalling at the physical consequences of the issue.
