An article was posted on the Mepis forums (link); a reply to which I have reproduced below.

The reply falls into the category of background static, with respect to the thread of conversation.

Now, I have my own advocacy practices which, I believe, work well; and, considering the fact that I have absolutely no interest in the mortgage industry, I really have nothing substantive to add to the thread itself, except dealing with the following “flyer” posting. Doing so within the thread of origin, would be disruptive, so I’ll amuse myself with addressing it here (more…)

There is a new article, complete with pictures, available for your perusal and comment.

Life has been so busy this summer as to make productions, like the one linked-to above, a bit impractical to accomplish; but the times are changing (as they always seem to do), so you should see more of the same in the future.

OK. I’m posting the contents of a page to which I’m linking to from things like sig-lines, and to which I’m pointing others in my quest to make generally known the needs of a family in Austin, Texas. It’s a ‘for the sake of completeness’ type of thing, because of a couple of points that I hadn’t raised earlier, just in case you’re wondering about the obvious repetition. (more…)

The situation which has prompted this entry is tragic and, for your reference, I’m going to bracket the antecedent interval of concern with a couple of links to pages that I urge you to read fully; then give serious consideration to the matter of helping a member of the Linux Community, Ken Starks (aka: Helios).

…and now, for those who are loathe to read the linked pages, I’ll give you a bit of a thumbnail sketch of what is going on with Ken. (more…)

I just installed the newest version of SimplyMepis_6.0 (Final Release) to the second hard drive on my notebook computer; a Model 1805-S203 in the Toshiba Satellite line. It has the Linksys WPC54GS version 2, PCMCIA (CardBus) wireless adapter installed (pretty-much permanently) for establishing a non-CAT5e connection to our nearly-enterprise-quality home network.

There has been some whining in the corridors, relative to some minor release date slips, but you can get your simplyMEPIS 6.0 Final release very easily…despite the fact that some of the mirrors haven’t sync-ed yet, and others are running at lower than optimum bandwidth.
Get it. Burn it. Install it. Have fun. (more…)
