I'd drop it in an instant if I had to pay for it. I think about 1 in 3 calls never rings my real phone, and just goes to their Voicemail.

Google Voice
by rod 21 Jan '10

Do anyone in the group have a Google Voice account? What are your thoughts/experiences? How long have you had it and have you had any invitation become available? How long did you have the account before the became available? I just got one last Sat. and my have made the mistake of tiying it to my personal gmail account instead of a more general email account the the rest of the family can have access to. I had requested an invitation 12 weeks ago or so in anticipation of my daughter getting a cell phone. At the time I was not sure exactly what the service would do. Now I know and it is rather nice. I'm able to do some rather sophisticated routing and screening of inbound phone calls. Inbound voice mails are transcribed and emailed to my gmail account. I can now receive inbound SMS messages that are forwarded to email. As for outbound calls I can go to to the web site type in a US or Canada number and specify which of my phones I'd like to make the call from, once I hit enter my phone rings, I pick up, and I can hear the other end start to ring. These are free as in beer, but likely not so much in privacy and personal data terms. Oh and I choose the opption where I now have a new Google number for the inbound, I was able to match my area code and last 4 of my home number. Rod

Mbox to PDF
by Jonathan Hutchins 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

I had a project today that is probably moot now, but I needed to make about 200 emails available to someone in another office. I was able to convert the folder into a standard mbox folder, which could then import to pretty much any mail system, but I found that KMail, at least, will only print one message at a time. What I'd like to do is "print" all of them to a single PDF document. Is anybody aware of a utility that would take the mbox file directly and produce either plain-text or PDF output? What about a (Linux) mail client that will "print" multiple messages?

KC Library Job Opening (part time)
by Greg Mischel Smith 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

I've heard several people say they are out of work, so I thought I would pass this along. The KC Library just posted a job opening for a 20-hr per week job opening for an IT Support Specialist at $14.99 per hour. http://www.kclibrary.org/jobs/job/it-support-specialist-central I've seen several IT positions become available recently from them, so if this job isn't what your looking for, I would keep a look out. They also post their new job openings via their twitter account: http://twitter.com/kcpublibrary -GregMS

Will it be the year of the Linux desktop? Will Gnome Shell be awesome? Will KDE 3 users finally adopt KDE 4? What will happen in the world of software patents? How Gnome Zeitgeist will change people's workflows? What's your new years prediction for 2010?
