Re: [SLUG] bigpond cable modem and any old DHCP client?
This one time, at band camp, Barrie Hall wrote: Does anyone have experience with BigPond cable? Specifically, is it possible to use the SB-5101 modem and plug in a DHCP-client wireless router on the ethernet side, or does BigPond still require a custom login tool running on the client? You no longer require any type of login/heartbeat client to connect to BP Cable. Thansk all three of you. I figured as much about heartbeat from the whirpool pages, and thanks for clarifying the DHCP situation too. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] headless servers
On an entirely differnet theme. Some time ago, it used to be possible to convince certain BIOS versions that they had a keyboard attached by shorting the PS/2 pins 3 4 with a 100K resistor. Trying it today with a certain (Compaq Presario desktop P3) box, it doesn't seem to work. This is a typical Compaq ATX board (and by that I dont mean typical). Anyone got any good ideas? -- regards Bruce -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] A Javascript problem
My problem isn't strictly speaking a Linux one, but I've tried to get a solution to it in more Javascript-targeted places without success and so am trying this list. I added a search box to my blog. A person chooses whether to search just my blog or the Web. I tested it and it worked, subject to one problem: when I searched my blog only, I got some hits that consisted of many posts. I wanted the hits to consist of individual posts only. I found a way to limit hits from a search of my blog to individual posts only. It involved automatically adding inurl:post to a search as it's sent off to Google. Here's the code: form method=get action=http://www.google.com/search; target=new onsubmit='document.getElementById(q).value += inurl:post;' input type=text name=q size=45 id=q maxlength=255 value= / input type=submit style=cursor:pointer; font-size:10px; value=Google Search / input type=radio name=sitesearch value= / Web * input type=radio name=sitesearch value=stumblng.tumblr.com checked / The Stumblng Tumblr *br / /form However, there's a problem with the above. As well as adding inurl:post to searches of my blog, it also adds it to searches of the Web, which makes the latter type of search useless. How can I change the above code so that inurl:post is only added to searches of my blog and not to searches of the web?

[SLUG] Games / Interactive learnign for kids/babies 6m -18m
Hi I was wondering if any one has any recommendation for some interactive kids programmes for learning/playing that i can get for linux. I currently have a spare keyboard that the little bashes on, but I would like to have something happen on the screen as well and hopefully maybe learn some things as well?

[SLUG] how to change first day of week in Gnome?
(Ubuntu 7.10)
The calendar that comes with Gnome (when you click the date) lists the
first day of the week as Sunday - how would I change it to Monday?
I've right clicked on stuff, looked in System, Preferences; didn't find
anything. I've also dredged thru gconf-editor - only close setting
('week_start_day') applies to Evolution.

[SLUG] Gateway antivirus - Anyone know of prior (1995) art?
Barracuda who bundle clamav with their smtp gateway are being sued by Trend and are asking for assistance to OSS in regards to prior art. See: http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/news/article/0,289142,sid14_gci1296559,00.html?track=sy160asrc=RSS_RSS-10_160 So basically Barracuda are being sued for integrating ClamAV into their smtp gateway to do av, something Trend spuriously Patented in 1995. This hopefully imposes (and I'd say it does) on prior art. Someone in the OSS community must have been doing smtp/ftp gateway av scanning pre-1995, surely. So thats what this is all about, a call to action. Now I am not from Barracuda, but I have used them and they are pretty good, I have also used trend... and it is pretty bad. I am sure NetboxBlue does this as well and surely there is some prior art there too...

Alex My son loves Gcompris and childsplay (Both in the debian repos), he has been playing them since he was just over 2 (now 3). He has absolutely amazed me with what he was almost instantly able to do. He now plays games where he points the mouse and clicks on stuff (pretty kewl considering it took him about a week to master compared to my retired parents who still have mouse problems) and can now navigate through the programs, changing games when he gets bored. He also very quickly started enjoying a game where letters fall down the screen and you have to press them on the keyboard before they reach the bottom. He knows every letter of the alphabet since playing that game. I also bought about 5 educational games for him to play which work perfectly under wine, but would you believe he went straight back to gcompris and childsplay, they keep his interest much more than the commercial stuff I bought, and on top of that, he gets far more education out of them. They are very well thought out games which deserve a lot more recognition. He also loves the wiggles website where he plays the flash games. All this stuff may be for children a bit older than what you were asking for, but definitely good to keep in mind, just blink and they will be 3.
