The Scientific Method
by `Professor John Rigden
Science makes progress through the dynamic interplay
between empirical observations and conceptual explanations. I will
discuss four examples: three from the past and one from the present.
These examples will explicitly illustrate the scientific method which,
in turn, will implicitly suggest that methods of science rest upon some
basic human needs.

The Google Android mobile platform market is hot, hot hot!
Many smartphone makers now have Android phones offered through all
major wireless carriers. Android applications are written in Java
(unlike that other popular smartphone platform), making it a
perfect platform on which you can leverage your Java skills.
At this month's Gateway JUG meeting, we'll take a look at Getting
Started with Android programming, covering the following topics:
* Overview of The Android Platform
* Setting Up Your Development Tools
* Hello World, Android Style

Setting up DNS Masqerading
by Jerry Stutte
dnsmasq is a lightweight DNS, TFTP and DHCP server. It is intended
to provide coupled DNS and DHCP service to a LAN. Dnsmasq accepts
DNS queries and either answers them from a small, local, cache or
forwards them to a real, recursive, DNS server. It loads the contents of
/etc/hosts so that local hostnames which do not appear in the global DNS
can be resolved and also answers DNS queries for DHCP configured hosts.
Jerry Stutte has worked in molecular biololgy and bio informatics.

operating system in several Usenet channels. His message read, "Starting
this Thanksgiving I am going to write a complete UNIX-compatible software
system called GNU (for Gnu's Not UNIX) and give it away free to everyone
who can use it. Contributions of time, money, programs and equipments
are greatly needed."

Who Is Behind The Internet?
Patrick J. Crowley, Ph.D.
Assoc. Prof. of Computer Science and Engineering, Wash U.
Given its central role in global communications and commerce, it
is natural to wonder: who is responsible for the Internet? Who keeps it
operating, fixes it when it breaks, arbitrates disputes, enforces laws,
and funds its growth? To explore these questions, we will discuss the
uniquely collaborative and distributed nature of the Internet, along
with some of the aspects of its history and operation that help explain
why timely issues such as network neutrality manage to be both highly
contentious and commonly misunderstood.
This is a free event, but seating is limited and there are no
reservations.

Topic: Parallel Computing Using a Linux Cluster
Speaker: Prof. Sanjiv K. Bhatia and George Gerules
Background/Details/Abstract/Outline/Summary:
The clock speed of CPUs has been the big performance measure used by
the processor manufacturers in the past. However, there are limits
to the speed at which the electrons can move through the circuitry.
Lately, the computer manufacturers have been emphasizing the use
of multiple cores to increase the performance and the clock speed
has actually dropped. The new paradigm to get better performance
is based on parallel computing. There are a number of techniques
to take advantage of multiple processors that include multicore,
cluster computing, and grid computing.
Cluster computing provides us with an inexpensive way to create
a scalable parallel computer with open source software. In this
presentation, we'll talk about some basic theory behind parallel
processing and present a way to build a cluster using off the
shelf hardware. - - - And...we are meeting in the room next to
UMSL's IT Enterprise's Cluster. So take a peek!
Bios:
Sanjiv Bhatia works as an Associate Professor in Computer Science
in the University of Missouri -- St. Louis (UMSL). His area
of research is Image Databases, Digital Image Processing, and
Computer Vision. He has published several papers on image
databases, large texture generation and its use in terrain
modeling, and the application of knowledge-based techniques to
information retrieval. He is also involved in sensor simulation
and real-time target tracking. He regularly teaches classes in
Operating Systems and Parallel & Distributed Computing. He is a
member of ACM, Siggraph, and AAAI. He is also the former publisher
of SLUUG's newsletter. - - -
George Gerules has over 20 years of experience programming; this
has been mostly in C/C++, although he has programmed in Java as
well as some other languages that are now extinct. He has worked
as a consultant with Arthur Andersen in the Silicon Valley and as
a programmer with Mitek Industries in Chesterfield. Currently,
he is pursuing the M.S. degree in Computer Science at UM-St. Louis.

The Phoenix Has Landed:
Snowbird on Mars
by
Ms. Selby Cull
Washington University
NASA's Phoenix Lander spacecraft touched down in a
north polar region of Mars on May 25, 2008. Phoenix
was aptly named after the mythological bird that
rises newborn from its own ashes. The Lander?s
design was derived from the cancelled 2001 Surveyor
mission. Its instruments are improved versions of
equipment lost when the Mars Polar Lander failed
to land successfully. Phoenix landed well, and for
five months it sent back to Earth large quantities
of images and data. The first results of early
data analysis are now being reported. Ms. Cull
will talk about the discoveries Phoenix has made
and their importance to future human exploration
and to the search for life, or fossil life, on Mars.
Selby Cull is a Doctoral candidate in the Department
of Earth and Planetary Sciences

Setting up DNS Masqerading
by Jerry Stutte
dnsmasq is a lightweight DNS, TFTP and DHCP server. It is intended
to provide coupled DNS and DHCP service to a LAN. Dnsmasq accepts
DNS queries and either answers them from a small, local, cache or
forwards them to a real, recursive, DNS server. It loads the contents of
/etc/hosts so that local hostnames which do not appear in the global DNS
can be resolved and also answers DNS queries for DHCP configured hosts.
Jerry Stutte has worked in molecular biololgy and bio informatics.

For those trying to remember their alphabet soup...
(and anyone...please correct/comment on any of these descriptions to
better describe/correct...)
Novell eDirectory (formerly named as Novell Directory
Services but populaly known as Netware Directory Services) is an
X.500-compatible directory service software product initially released
in 1993 by Novell for centrally managing access to resources on multiple
computers within a given network. It also controls permissions on a
per userid (and group id and ...?) to objects in the directory.
Microsoft has Active Directory. 1st relesased in Windows 2000
Server edition, it claims to include LDAP, Kerberos, and DNS. (Is this
one of the sources of "embrace and extend" criticisms that MS has
(partially) used these standards but in a way that they do NOT work with
non-MS software?) In pre-release it was called NTDS (NT Directory
Service) and that nmae can still be seen compiled into some binaries.
X.500 is a a series of computer networking standards covering
electronic directory services. The X.500 series was developed by ITU-T,
formerly known as CCITT, and first approved in 1988. ISO/IEC 9594 is
the corresponding ISO identification. It was INCREDIBLY complex and was
only run on large servers.
LDAP is an implimentation of part of X.500. "Lite weight
Directory Access Protocol"...liteweight because it was stripped down to
do the more needed stuff on smaller systems and simpler to impliment.
It also worked with TCP/IP which X.500 originally did not. Open LDAP is
an Open Software version.

This meeting is being sonsored by COMSYS.
Abstract:
Haskell monads do everything from mundane list processing and IO to complex functionality like fine-grained concurrent state management and parsing grammers. And because they are all monads, they have a consistent syntax making them very simple and elegant to use.
This talk will give a tourof these and other noteworthy citizens of this wonderful landscape. There will be plenty of practical code examples and no knowledge of Haskell is required.
About Aditya "Deech" Siram:
Aditya "Deech" Siram is a Java developer with the Neuroinformatics Research Group at Washington University. He's into functional programming languages, especially Haskell, and looks forward to the day he gets paid to use it.

Description
Venue: International Tap House
See http://www.meetup.com/stlaltdotnet/
The ALT.NET community is a loosely coupled, highly cohesive group of like-minded individuals who believe that the best developers do not align themselves with platforms and languages, but with principles and ideas. In 2007, David Laribee created the term "ALT.NET" to explain this "alternative" view of the Microsoft development universe--a view that challenged the "Microsoft-only" approach to software development. He distilled his thoughts into four key developer characteristics which form the basis of the ALT.NET philosophy:
1. You're the type of developer who uses what works while keeping an eye out for a better way.
2. You reach outside the mainstream to adopt the best of any community: Open Source, Agile, Java, Ruby, etc.
3. You're not content with the status quo. Things can always be better expressed, more elegant and simple, more mutable, higher quality, etc.
4. You know tools are great, but they only take you so far. It's the principles and knowledge that really matter. The best tools are those that embed the knowledge and encourage the principles (e.g. Resharper.)
The St. Louis ALT.NET meetup group is a place where .NET developers can learn, share, and critique approaches to software development on the .NET stack. We cater to the highest common denominator, not the lowest, and want to help all St. Louis .NET developers achieve a superior level of software craftsmanship.

***** SLUUG St. Louis Unix Users' Group ******** **##!!##**
Tutorial = The UNIX Tool Box by Jerry Stutte.
The "Unix Tool Box" is a collection of Unix/Linux/BSD commands and tasks which are useful for IT work or for
advanced users. This is a practical guide with concise
explanations, however the reader is supposed to know what
s/he is doing. With its menu structure, it provides an excellent resource for beginners and advanced users.
Jerry Stutte has gone 73 days without a security
incident. He should run rkhunter and tiger.
7:30 !!!***%%%### !!!###%%%
Vim (NOT Fandango) Expanded!!!! by Bill Odom.
Bill did a great presentation on VIM 2 weeks
ago at Perl Mongers. This will NOT be the same
presentation!
NEW APPLICATIONS!
NEW EXAMPLES!
OLD JOKES!
Bill has more material to explore but you didn't
need to be there for the earlier talk. Its fine
to pick it up at this point.
This presentaion on the "Vi IMproved" text
editor is much more than a tutorial. It has
two major goals:
* Give people who'd never used vim before an
* idea of its power, and whet their appetites
* so they'd want to learn more.
* Show more experienced vim users one or more
* new features, techniques, or tricks that
* they could use immediately.
A tutorial wouldn't do much to convince the
first group that vim was worth their time,
and a tutorial would've just bored the
second. With that said, there's a lot of
desire for solid tutorial content from people
that are already convinced that vim is
something they want to better understand.
With enough continued interest, we may expect many
short focused vim tutorials in tutorials in
the future...or maybe workshops.
Bill Odom builds left handed widgets, which
he discards because he is right handed. Or is
it the other way around?
