Hal informed me last night that the images at the top of that forum are hosted on a server that also hosts pr0n. So, they are probably blocked at most worksites.

Linux Camera Software
by Russ Starr 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

I am going to be trying some software to handle camera surveillance. I have four cameras that I would like to centrally control. (if possible) - Two D-Link IP cameras (DCS-1000W and DCS-900) - Two Netbotz cameras (two cams on one Netbotz 500 system) Right now, I am using IPView, which came with the D-Link cameras and it is very flakey, it doesn't run in the background, and it sometimes just stops working. The Netbotz have nice software that I could keep using if I had to. So, does anyone have any experience with any open source camera software for surveillance? I am going to test drive the following and I was looking for suggestions or things to look out for: - http://www.zoneminder.com/ - http://www.silicontao.com/software/lvs/doc/information.html - http://gspy.sourceforge.net/ My objective is to have motion detection and recording. I will probably dump them on to a Windows file server. Thanks, -Russ

Seemes my first message never hit the mail server, if it comes through later I'm sorry for double posting <orig message> > You *might* get them in time if you order now-- unless they give events > priority. Mine usually take a month or two to get here, though. > On the bright side, I do have about 15 or so Kubuntu discs I haven't given > away yet... Let me know how many we would like ( 300 to 500 ? ) and I can give them a call and get the process sped up a bit, for LRL we got just over 300 Kubuntu CD's in about a week. Also do we want all i386 or should I poke them for a few PPC , and AMD64 ones also. Also +1 we are working on getting the first point release pushed out the door in the next few days, so the cd's would be Kubuntu Dapper Drake 6.06.1 LTS ( the first point relasese ) Brandon -- Brandon Holtsclaw imbrandon(a)kubuntu.org http://lunchpad.net/people/imbrandon

ITEC in October

My boss has given me permission to load up some P3 systems, I intend to install slackware, debian, centos, and suse for demo machines. My main problem with this will be monitors (or lack there of) so I will bring my 4 port KVM and hope for the best. I'll be able to man the booth for a few hours as well. Also, are we in need of any equipment (switches, wifi access points, power strips etc...)?

outsourced web page hit counter with moving averages
by David Nicol 09 Aug '06

too much coffee... I have been meaning to write this little thing for some years, since hit counters were a Big Deal, which was a long time ago. Details at http://tipjar.com/nettoys/counter.html I guess I had to wait for iframes to happen before setting it up was sufficiently simple -- it used to be to do that kind of thing you needed to dynamically generate numbered images on the fly. -- David L Nicol all your grammar nit are belong to us
