Don's Patch #102, October 1, 2008 from www.don-guitar.com
Online version: http://www.don-guitar.com/currentissue.html

First word, from Don:
A couple of weeks ago I made a deal with Susan Linton of
tuxmachines.org. Lisa and I will write a two part article
on why we're using Linux and why we've chosen the distros
we use in return for having Susan write the Linux section
of our ezine for one (possibly two) issues. I guess Lisa
and Susan liked the idea better than I did because Lisa's
got her part of the article written and Susan sent me her
13 link Linux section yesterday. Now I feel guilty because
I've only managed a couple of false starts on my part of
our promised article but I also feel pleased and honored
to have Susan appearing in this issue of our ezine. I
very much respect and admire her for the terrific work
she does with tuxmachines.org.
Lisa's still talking to her mom, in Florida, with Skype
for a couple of hours a week and they almost always begin
their sessions by checking to see what's new on lolcats...
http://icanhascheezburger.com/
...and they've gotten me hooked as well. I find myself
checking the site every couple of days. I guess you could
call it checking for chuckles.
Ok so tell the truth, who tried to talk like a pirate on
the 19th? http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html
I did, but I'll admit I'm not very good at it. I'll be
getting a reminder of it again next year because that's
how I set it up at memotome.com last year. Hey guys, if
you're the sort of fellow who always forgets his wedding
anniversary (hurting your wife's feelings) this site can
help you out. http://www.memotome.com/
I did some googling and found installable solutions...
http://www.spacejock.com/RMP.html
http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/bday/index.html
(more cool stuff here http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/ )
...and there's a nifty Thunderbird plugin.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/3680
I'm not good at remembering things. My daughter Lily
usually calls to remind me of everyone's birthday. Hmm,
I wonder if that Thunderbird plugin will work in IceDove?
Lisa found this site which will actually call you on
the phone and remind you of stuff. She says non-recurring
(one-time) calls are fee-less. http://wakerupper.com/
I guess I'm getting started early in this issue aren't
I? Think of it as my little bonus for anybody who
actually reads my opening statement. *grin*

Section One by Don.
Lisa tested that call-up reminder service...
http://wakerupper.com/ ...by having them call and
remind me to take my Advair but she wasn't sure
their computer would know how to pronounce Advair
so she wrote it phonetically as two words "ad vare".
It worked great, but I wondered if "vare" was
a real word so I looked it up on the Merriam-
Webster and got this response "vare can be found
at Merriam-WebsterUnabridged.com. Click here
to start your free trial!" which I found to be
slightly annoying so I googled the word and found
a definition on this site.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Vare
(they're ad supported and you have to look close
to see the definition among the ads but the info
is there and there's no "catch 22" involved.

When I replaced Win2K with Debian Etch Linux on my computer
I bought a used Windows XP machine on eBay for $125 because
most of you, our readers, are still using Windows and it's
important to me to stay in touch with you. After a few
months it occurred to me that I was only using the Windows
machine for a few minutes a month so there was no particular
reason for it to be a 'fancy' machine. I sold it for what
it cost me and my current Windows XP machine is a used 667
MHz (Pentium III) Dell that cost me $20. I upgraded it
to 1000 MHz (1 GHz) and expanded its RAM from 256 MHz to
384 MHz using parts I already had. It's not a particularly
fast computer but it's not nearly as slow as I expected
it to be. Sometimes a new computer isn't a viable option
but that shouldn't be an obstacle if you know a little
about computer hardware. Even if you don't, ask around;
one of your friends might be a 'closet' computer geek.

The Linux Corner (Special guest editor for this issue).
My name is Susan Linton and I run this little Website,
tuxmachines.org, that has morphed into a glorified news
aggregator. I pick and published each article link by
hand myself, so it does have the advantage of quality
over some of the other such popular sites. I've been
doing this for several years now, so I've developed a
list of over 1500 sites on which I search for new
articles. I've also developed a few favorites, those
that consistently publish high quality and thoughtful
articles or just have a knack for coming up with ideas
that please the masses. So, here is the list of my Top
13 Favorite Websites for Linux and Open Source information:
1. Linux.com http://www.linux.com - one of my top favorites
because they publish articles I find interesting everyday
on almost a regular schedule. They've been one of my
favorite sources since the beginning - even way before
they began publishing articles of mine.
2. Tech Source From Bohol http://www.junauza.com/ - this
is definitely one of my top favorites. This guy has a
uncanny knack for coming up with some of the best ideas
for articles. In fact, I'm a bit jealous. If I had only
half his imagination I'd probably have that new car by
now. His articles are always a big hit with my visitors and
so I keep a close eye on his site.
3. Raiden's Realm http://www.raiden.net/ - This is one of
my favorites because of his interesting articles and good
ideas coming several times a week. I'm also acquainted with
Steve personally a bit and he's just a really nice guy and
is truly devoted to Linux and Open Source software.
He's a believer.
4. Red Devil's Tech Blog
http://reddevil62-techhead.blogspot.com/ - Steve Lawson is
knowledgeable and produces some nice reviews sprinkled with
witicisms and logic. He puts out about one quality article
a week or so, I just wish he'd fix that formatting (whether
it's his CMS or style).
5. Phoronix.com http://www.phoronix.com/ - I really like
Phoronix because Michael and his site just wreak with
professionalism. He's a very knowledgeable guy and produces
some of the highest quality work in our community. Plus
he's about the only person dedicated to hardware for Linux.
Things just wouldn't be complete without Phoronix.
6. iTWire.com http://www.itwire.com/ - Here is another
professional quality commercial site that puts out at
least one popular article a day for Linux users,
sometimes several. iTWire is one of those sites I
keep a very close eye on.
7. Beranger.org http://beranger.org/index.php - I read
Beranger regularly and link to him quite a bit. He's
undoubtedly one of the best bloodhounds we have. He can
seem to root out even the most obscure bugs in any given
distro or software. And he has the courage to just go
for it - he doesn't hold any punches. I bet he's the type
of guy that would walk up to his wife and say, "your
butt is getting too fat!" In addition, he has some pretty
impressive insights to many relevant (and off-) topics in
our community. I hold a lot of respect for Beranger.
8. Distrowatch.com http://www.distrowatch.com - This is
one of everybody's favorites isn't it? It's a must for
anyone who follows Linux and his weekly newletters are
staples in the community. Ladislav is one of the smartest
guys I know and his features are always well thought out,
logical, and supported with provable facts. He's quite
witty and very skilled in the mechanics of writing as
well. And he speaks several languages fluently - which
is something that always impresses me.
9. Linux and Open Source blog of TechRepublic
http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/ - I guess you could
say this is one of my favorites - I know I'm always glad
to see a new article up there. Jack Wallen et. al. are
very knowlegdeable and come up with some good ideas.
Their articles are frequently well received on my site.
10. Techiemoe Rants http://www.techiemoe.com/ - I like
this guy's distro reviews cause he's a kind of a
curmudgeon. He makes me laugh quite a bit and he commonly
notices things I may overlook. I may not always agree with
him, but I always enjoy his articles.
11. Locutus' Blog at ITtoolbox.com
http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/locutus/ - This guy has some
good ideas and publishes on the regular side of sporadic.
His articles are commonly popular with folks and he tends
to be a bit of comedian at times. I like to find new stuff
by him.
12. The Register http://www.theregister.co.uk/ and sister
site The Inquirer http://www.theinquirer.net/ - These two
sites are commercial, no doubt, but they give a lot of play
to Linux and Open Sauce software (misspelling intentional).
And their crew is downright insane. These guys crack me up,
especially on The Inquirer. The Register is a bit more
serious, but not much. These sites get high marks for
their wit and style.
13. OStatic.com http://ostatic.com/ - This site is populated
with some of the most knowledgeable folks in our community.
I like this site for the serious and professional work they
generate, so I regularly link to their work.
Of course, it's very difficult to pick 13 sites out of
about 1500, but this is a fairly close representation of
the top sites I can count on to provide quality material
for my site. As you can see I tend to like the sites with
humor and/or intelligence. I probably have forgotten a few
that deserved mentioning and I apologize to them. Best way
to find them all is to visit me at tuxmachines.org
http://www.tuxmachines.org. See ya there!

Last word, from Lisa:
Life is just a continuing adventure, that's for sure.
Don's been making soy "ice cream" for me lately and we keep
saying we'll get an ice cream freezer to eliminate the
ice crystals. Anyone who can't tolerate dairy knows how
you can miss ice cream. Occasionally we find soy ice
cream in the stores but is obscenely expensive and the
flavors very limited.
We ordered an ice cream freezer and are waiting with
bated breath. I'm all ready with recipes and enthusiasm.
The adventure continues...

The most important people on the Internet, for you and I as
computer users, are software developers. The world's coolest
computer, without software, is like a car without fuel. It
might look great, but what can it do? It doesn't matter who
produces the software you love and use regularly, the developers
of that software need your support.
A bit of advice from Internet veteran Bayard J. Fox:
New computer users are often in awe of the things you can get
without cost on the Internet. There can be hidden costs for the
unwary. Use a 'throw away' email address to register, and be
constantly on guard against giving away personal information.
Use a firewall, and provide only the barest minimum of
information on questionnaires.
