   Now certainly Bilbo was in what is called a tight place. But you must remember it was not quite so tight for him as it would have been for me or for you. Hobbits are not quite like ordinary people; and after all if their holes are nice cheery places and properly aired, quite different from the tunnels of the goblins, still they are more used to tunnelling than we are, and they do not easily lose their sense of direction --

few years ago, I was discussing a business web site that was flash-only

I suggest to the MD they should have a non-flash alternative

the MD asked me why, and I explained not every one had the lastest flash,
and, these users couldn't see the site at all

I was told 'well, then they're not the sort of clients we're after'

I then remembered that my Mum told me never to argue with my sister, so I
didn't.

http://ruhoka.yokefastener.com/?88100548


I find the cards and the board for
the marble game, give them to her and tiptoe away. Grampa is sleeping in the
living room in his wheelchair with all the shades pulled and I lay on the floor
in the half-darkness. The wide wood boards are cool, but hard, and I can feel my
ribs and hipbones grinding against them. My breasts are coming in at last (or
should I say going out?) and they mortify me. Mortify is a good word, I learned
it in Ms. Crawford's English class. It means death, as in my breasts embarrass
me to death, or my breasts make me want to die, or my breasts are just killing
me. All the clothes I own are now divided into two groups: Shirts That Show Too
Much Boobage, and Shirts That Don't. Nothing worse than walking into a room and
realizing too late that your breasts are pointing at people.
 It must be kind of like that for guys when they get
an unexpected boner. Boner is a funny word, too, and at first when I heard it, I
kept thinking of Banjo, that little cocker spaniel that Gramma used to have. He
would be wagging his stumpy little tail and I liked to grab it and hold on
Underneath the skin and muscle, I could feel his little tailbones. But I guess
boners aren't really exactly like that.  Grampa
wakes up. He does this with no sign of waking, just suddenly his eyes are open.
"Where's your Gramma?" he says. "Time for the baseball game." And it is, too.
Gramma turns on the TV and they both watch the game. Grampa falls asleep again
during the fourth inning. Gramma watches the whole game, now and then gripping
Grampa's arm when it gets exciting.  When I think
about it, I've been going to Camp Meeting every year since I was born, just like
Gramma, but fourteen years just isn't the same as sixty-one. Grampa never went
to Camp Meeting when he was young, the year he met Gramma was his very first
time. And he was just visiting a friend. So you never can tell what might 
happen.  Mumma and Brian aren't staying overnight
this year. Mumma says it's too hot for little Kinsey, that she would get heat
rash. Gramma fusses about that, too. "It's just for two weeks," she grumbles.
"You'd think that for fourteen days out of the whole year, a person could go
without their air conditioning. Lord knows, we all got along under more
primitive conditions than this when I was a girl." She adds lawn chairs and
camera film to her list. "We never get a chance to talk any more."
 Mumma and Brian just say they have to work and
they'll come out in the evenings. I'll help Gramma hold down the fort. I don't
mind being the only one. It's hard on her, I know, to be away from Grampa.
They've never been apart before.  Gramma fusses
heavily the day we move into the tent. She keeps checking her lists to make sure
she has everything. It's a matter of pride with her not to have forgotten 
anything. We hook the big wooden swings to the rings in the porch ceiling and
cover the bench with an old quilt. She has all these pictures on the wall in her
spare room at home, showing the family on the porch of the tent over the years.
I like the pictures from the fifties, where the girls are all wearing short
shorts and cat's-eye sunglasses, and the ones from the seventies, where they all
have halter tops and bell bottoms. Some of the pictures have twenty or more
people in them. Now there are only the seven of us. Gramma fills up the empty
places on the porch with potted geraniums and petunias. It's my job to water
them each morning.  Aunt Jody brings Grampa out for
a while every evening. She stays at the house with him at night and he goes to
day care for old people during the day. It's almost like he and Kinsey are the
same age nowadays. They both wear diapers and sleep a lot. Aunt Jody likes to
sit on the swing and say hey to all her old boyfriends when they walk by with
their wives. She quit bartending and now she's learning to be a mortician.
That's another word a lot like mortified, only it means an embalmer of the dead.
"Funeral director, if you don't mind," she says. "It's about a lot more than
just laying out corpses, you know. I'm going to really change things, too. None
of this depressing organ music. Hey, Dwayne." She smiles slowly, her lips with
their shiny peach color sliding back over her square, white teeth. "How y'all
doin'?"  Dwayne (or Bill, or Travis, or Eddie)
always smiles nervously. Aunt Jody hasn't changed much since the time when she
posed for that centerfold and the wives always make angry faces when they see
her sitting there in her short shorts and little cotton tops. She has real good
legs for a woman over thirty, they're brown as peaches with little golden 
freckles on the thighs, and she likes to cross them real slow. "For example,"
she continues saying to me, while her eyes follow Travis (or Eddie, or Bill, or
Dwayne) as he goes on down the path, "if a person liked to listen to Elvis
Presley when they were alive, why not play Elvis music when they die? I'm not

[SLUG] Gallery2 multi site .htaccess setup

2006-05-11 Thread Voytek Eymont

I'm installing Gallery 2.1 in 'multi site config';

I've put the Gallery tree to /usr/share/gallery2, and, symlinked to
/home/domain.tld/www/gallery (www.domain.tld/gallery/)
I then installed from there, with the site album at
/home/domain.tld/www/photogallery

that all works fine

on reviewing security docs, it suggests to have .htaccess as in:

 Files ~ \.(inc|class)$
   Deny from all
 /Files

BUT, if I put it in /usr/share/gallery2, I still get the pages, but:

in Firefox, the photos display BUT, the whole layout is 'all over the place'

in IE, it basically still works, just, navigation icons are gone

once I remove .htaccess, it's all good

I realize I should really ask this on Gallery list, but, in case someone
reconginzes my problem...

2006-05-11 Thread Martin Barry
just a heads up for anyone installing ubuntu-server, SSH server is not
installed by default.

their security policy is essentially desktop oriented:

As a matter of security policies, ubuntu default install will never listen
to any network port. Installing openssh-server will violate this policy, so
this bug will not be fixed.

make sure you install something before you walk away from the console.

I have a feeling that symlinking is not the recommended way to set up the

and ended up copying pieces of the gallery install into the installed 
multisite.  Read on...

 in Firefox, the photos display BUT, the whole layout is 'all 
 over the place'

Have a look at the source of the page in your browser.  It sounds like your CSS 
links aren't where the generated HTML is looking for them.  I'm not sure how 
this relates to your .htaccess changes, but I copied the CSS files it couldn't 
find from the codebase to the multisite location that it was looking in to fix 
the layout (disclaimer, this is a kludge).  I think if you follow the 
multi-site instructions to the letter, this isn't a problem, but it seems we 
both like to do things the hard way.

 I realize I should really ask this on Gallery list, but, in

/etc/mysq/my.cnf to change this behaviour.

[SLUG] NOW Re MythTV

2006-05-11 Thread O Plameras


Hi Michael,

On  MythTV setup, I found some time last week to
re-visit this subject. I am using FusionHDTV DVB-T1.

I plug  in this card and it is recognised by FC5 kernel
version 2096. I tried on FC5 2080 and it did also
recognise the card.

And now, I can watch Digital TV Broadcasting.

Since my MythTV has always been setup for all the
other services apart from TV recieving, all I had to
do was to run 'mythtvsetup' and configure it for
Australia. I have been using MythTV as Frontend
for Managing and Organising CD music, DVD,
Video Playback, Radio streaming, Photo Gallery, etc. since early
2004.

I have two issues:
1. I cannot recieve SBS signal cleanly; and
2. I cannot recieve HDTV (only Digital) signals cleanly.

I have a TIVO compatible unit and has a similar
problem with HDTV only.

Do you have any problem with HDTV recievers
on your unit ?

Thanks for the info in advance.

O Plameras

Sounds like an antenna issue... my topfield pvr can pickup all digital
streams, and so can my Twinhan Mini Ter PCI DVB cards. Of course all
these operate from the same signal antenna with a booster to supply
enough signal strength to all rooms in the house.

If anyone is interested, I've been writing the following docs for
getting Ubuntu and the Twinhan Mini Ter cards going on breezy out of
the box.

http://heimic.net/wiki/index.php/Twinhan_VP3020C_PCI_HDTV_Tuner_Mini_Ter_Mythtv_Setup_in_Ubuntu_5.10

Looks like the remotes can even be used with lirc, but I will try that
tonight. As I got some info on how to do it.

Also, these Twinhan Mini Ter pci cards have been seen @ $65 AU as of now..

 in IE, it basically still works, just, navigation icons are gone

 once I remove .htaccess, it's all good

 I realize I should really ask this on Gallery list, but, in case someone
 reconginzes my problem...

What are you trying to achieve?

From a security point of view your photos should not be on the www path eg
mine are /home/gallery/each.multi.site

If you install the password module the albums can be restricted eg
http://tigger.ws/vphotos/main.php
The first album is restricted. 

These are bog standard gallery2 install instructions. There may be security 
flaws in gallery, but this way is secure eg web browsers CANNOT get to your 
photos except via gallery.
The default /web.home/a.multi.site/g2data is not secure, and they tell you so.

I've found the gallery forums to be quick and helpfull.

 I have a feeling that symlinking is not the recommended way to set up the

 Have a look at the source of the page in your browser.  It sounds like your

 it couldn't find from the codebase to the multisite location that it was

 you follow the multi-site instructions to the letter, this isn't a problem,
 but it seems we both like to do things the hard way.

  I realize I should really ask this on Gallery list, but, in

 It's your lucky day! :):)  But yeah, the gallery forums/wiki are packed
 with good info, including some on this particular problem.

Again I agree!
inserting an .htaccess probably involves 'follow-sym-links' and such.
KISS

/www.home/each.multi.site (and every thing else for your www site)

/somewhere.else/each.multi.site.data

Being creative is the way to heartache. Each multisite is tiny:

Actually after reading your post again, I realise that your not having
the same issues on both. It appears your having more issues with the
Dvico.

I did own a Dvico and had nothing but trouble with it, even with the
driver compiled and patches to the kernel (before it was in newer
kernels by default). It never worked as well as I had hoped.

My guess is your dvico is having issues with its driver/kernel
version, and possibly antenna problems (since both units have HDTV
issues).

Maybe trying a different digital tuner from a friend might be
worthwhile, to confirm it too has similar issues to your Tivo box.


I was able to get lirc to work on the older version before. Now it's 3

I was going to buy a Windows MCE remote, but I might not just do that
yet. I will try what I found in regards to the Twinhan ones using the
lirc modules for usb /dev/input support. See if it works any good.

I honestly dont know, but for $65 AU who can complain. It has to be
the cheapest tuner around. Infact I did pay $90 odd for my original
ones, but since found a source for $65 AU each.

I was running 2 of these in an Amd Athlon XP 2800+ system. And when
using the correct nvidia display drivers for xorg 4 it could actually
handle hdtv playback.

I am going to purchase another tuner today, as I sold mine to a mate
since they wanted one. Besides I knew I could get another a few days
later when I needed too.

Mythtv certainly still has some appeal to it. Especially over the
topfield pvr my wife constantly uses. Who knows if I can ever swing
her over, but atleast I know I can make use of it myself. I might as
well as I have my old system mentioned above and selling it would not
get me a price I would be comfortable with, so I might as well
continue to use it for something.

[SLUG] Best practise for ldap authentication

2006-05-11 Thread Alexander Samad
Hi

I have just started the process of using LDap for my security db, I am
using debian etch amd64.

I have a working slapd 
I have an ou=People,dc=test,dc=com
where i have placed entries of the type

objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top


which works well for login (linking into pam)

Now I am trying to add more attributes, the first being mail

but mail isn't part of account nor posixAccount nor top, it is part of
inetorgperson - which is of no help to me cause i do libnss/libpam
filtering based on attr host which is only part of account.

dilema 1

my second hurdle is trying to setup a address book under
ou=Address book,dc=test,dc=com

I want place address book information here, but I do not want to re
enter/have duplicate enters to what I have in the People ou

do you use object class alias and how do I get ldapsearch to derefence
so for example

if I have a record in People
dn: uid=alex,ou=People,dc=test,dc=com
uid: alex
cn: Alexander Samad
loginShell: /bin/bash
homeDirectory: /home/alex
gecos: Alexander Samad
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top

and a record in Address Book
dn: uid=alex,ou=Address Book,dc=test,dc=com
objectClass: alias
objectClass: extensibleObject
uid: alex
aliasedObjectName: uid=alex,ou=People,dc=test,dc=com


so that when I go ldapsearch -b ou=Address Book,dc=test,dc=com -x
uid=alex


I get back the information stored under the People record ?


General Question, do most people setup there own schema's or do they
have duplicate records 1 for security and 1 for address book information

Thanks
Alex

If you want mail and posixAccount and host, then I recomment constructing
out of the following objectclasses:

top
posixAccount
shadowAccount
person
organizationalPerson
inetOrgPerson
hostObject

I found the account objectClass conflicts with so many others in the shipped
schemas it's not worth using.

The problem is that inetOrgPerson depends on organizationalPerson which
depends on person which conflicts with account, which he's using for the
host attribute.

Get rid of account, use hostObject, and then you can just add

Further more the biggest appeal is saying I want X show to record on Y

Doesn't work in what way?

I've figured out what packages I need on my system to make its
configuration from within mythtv-setup video sources so that it
prompts for its configuration in a nice way. The packages it needs are
documented on my wiki in the ubuntu breezy install setup.

 If you want mail and posixAccount and host, then I recomment constructing
 out of the following objectclasses:
 
 top
 posixAccount
 shadowAccount
 person
 organizationalPerson
 inetOrgPerson
 hostObject

can't find hostObject as part of my schema where can I find the schema
file ?

 
 I found the account objectClass conflicts with so many others in the shipped
 schemas it's not worth using.
