 Synopsis of Position, for official description, please use this link:

 (grumble) yet another site that, like YouTube, seems to be unwilling
 to load if Firefox's AdBlock extension is active even though I
 don't see any actual ads on it...

  I don't see any ads either, and I'm not using AdBlock.  But I am
using NoScript.  The page seems to trip NoScript's anti-XSS
(Cross-Site Scripting) defenses.  NoScript claims it's logging details
to the console but I never see any.  In any event, I had to do an
Unsafe Reload to get the page to work properly.

  The linked-to page is apparently search results.  Another
irritation, the single result link uses JavaScript rather than a
simple HREF to link.  Bogus.  Keeps me from opening links in new tabs,
which I do all the time.

  And then the page it opens is wrapped in frames for no good reason.

  I note from the site icon and URL format that they're running
Loathsome Notes.  That probably explains the craptacular web design.
With Notes, Lotus/IBM seem to have an explicit design goal of making
the worst user interface known to man.

Ah.  I was thinking of mentioning that same URL but thought part of
might be session-specific glop.


 The page seems to trip NoScript's anti-XSS (Cross-Site Scripting)
 defenses.  NoScript claims it's logging details to the console
 but I never see any.

I'd assume they/you are referring to Firefox's Tools-ErrorConsole
where I see plenty of complaints about the page(s) in question.

  I see plenty of complaints about the page's CSS, but nothing from NoScript.

  And if you think that page is bad, try logging into Gmail and
looking at the Firefox error console.  Firefox logs an XML warning for
every single keystroke.

is there a topic / meeting for Monday at SLUG?

2010-05-07 Thread Greg Rundlett (freephile)
Rob/Ben et al (I don't know who al is),

Just curious if there will be a meeting on Monday at SLUG?  If so, is there
a topic or is it more of a round-table meeting?

  There's *always* a SLUG meeting.  Rob is like clockwork there.  For
something like ten plus years now, I think he's only canceled for very
severe weather or holiday collisions.

  Now, plans for topics are another question entirely.  Last I heard
(earlier this week), Rob didn't have anything planned.  So it will
prolly be an open format, or What Rob thinks is interesting if
nobody has something better.

  FYI, I'm pretty sure Rob doesn't read this list.

LUG meetings and topics

  One thing I've been wondering about lately is if the focus on topic
of the month is actually hurting GNHLUG in the long run.

  The implicit modus operandi seems to be that we have to have a fancy
topic in order to have a meeting.  Why should Linux fans have to have
a pre-arranged topic to meet?  I know nobody thinks we actually *have*
to, but nonetheless, meetings without a topic tend to have hugely
lower attendance.  It seems reasonable to suppose that since no
topic is unusual, that's treated as reason to skip the meeting, since
if the meeting was good it would have a topic.

  I'm told that in some other LUGs, it's the norm to just gather to
help each other and network (people networking, not computer
networking).

  What do others think?

I, for one, welcome the revival of MELBA with a regularly-scheduled
`topic' of `Linux and Beer--Hooray Linux and Beer'.

Anyone know any good Linux drinking songs?
