My wife had an unused Logitech Stereo USB Headset 250 kicking around the house that I took into the office today. Joy of joys! Ubuntu/Dapper recognized it and both the headset *and* microphone work out of the box.
Just like Microsoft Windows ;-)
Yesterday at Wasserman Park, the annual
Merrimack Public Library Cardboard Boat Festival was held. Check out some of these photos.
The good folks at GetDemocracyNow.com provide debian packages for Ubuntu/Dapper, but didn’t get the dependencies quite right. After intalling the two democracyplayer packages from their Ubuntu download page, I needed to also install the following packages:
$ sudo apt-get install libboost-python1.33.1 libgtk-mozembed-ruby mozilla-psm
There is a ton of great content!
…done…
Last Thursday’s Greater New Hampshire Linux Users Group topic was “SELinux for Dummies” by Red Hat’s Dan Walsh. I took some notes but had to leave at 9pm and they were still going strong. See http://nozell.dyndns.org/wiki/index.php/SELinuxForDummies
It has been almost 24 hours that email has been down at the hosting company netnation.com — the tech support guy said they are using some in-house mail package (CSR?) and it should be fixed by *tomorrow*! Ugh.

Pitcher Plants

Yesterday the Audubon Society/NH hosted a Dragonfly walking tour of Amherst’s Ponemah Bog. There are a ton of dragonflies (which eat all the pest insects) as well as carnivorous plants like the pitcher and sundew plants.
Next weekend (22-Jul-2006) they are having another dragonfly walk (10am) and this time I’m going to drag some of the kids along. Be sure to wear shoes you don’t mind getting soaked.
For directions to Ponemah Bog (amazingly close to 101A), see ASNH Ponemah Bog Sanctuary
