The lament is that HTML was frozen in some designed-by-committee" state since the 90's. HTML5 finally gives us a standardized way to store data locally in the user's machine. We're not talking about little cookies here; HTML5 offers your web application 5MB of local storage. HTML5 also introduces a significant caching mechanism to allow offline applications. And there's still more. An element offering a standard mechanism for rendering video.

VIM Workshop by Bill Odum. Files and Buffers and Windows and Tabs (and More!) Vim provides a wealth of features for editing several files simultaneously, arranging them into workspaces, and then navigating among them. Unfortunately, it's not always obvious how to use these features, or how they all fit together. If you've ever wondered why Vim won't let you edit one file before saving another, why :q! doesn't always let you quit, or why Vim's tab pages seem so weird, then this workshop will clear up the confusion. Our main event will be: mdadm by Jeff Muse This presentation covers mdadm, the Linux software raid management utility. After a brief look at RAID concepts, we'll have an explanation of what mdadm is capable of doing and demonstrations of it in action. Minimize unplanned downtime due to disk failure on your Linux systems by implementing mdadm, Linux software RAID. (If you're not sure what RAID is, don't worry, we'll talk about that first.) mdadm supports most common RAID levels, costs less than a hardware RAID controller, and can have better performance. Don't have a system with massive numbers of disks to experiment with? We'll show you how to simulate one using virtual machines! ============================================================================== Thursday, November 11 Veterans Day World Usability Day 10:00am WCORCC-WE - MS Word SIG Excel SIG 11:00am SCORCC-F Financial SIG 6:30pm STLJUG - StL Java Users Grp ============================================================================== Friday, November 12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10:00am SCORCC-DTP Desktop Publishing ============================================================================= ============================================================================ Way in the Future...

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.

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.

ArchReactor's hacker space. ========================================================================== Thursday, September 16 1985 After he lost a boardroom struggle for control of the company to CEO John Sculley, Steve Jobs resigned as chairman of Apple Computer, which he co-founded in 1976. Jobs had recruited Sculley from Pepsi in 1983. 1997 Apple Computer announced that co-founder Steve Jobs had been named interim CEO. (He's back!) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1:00pm-3pm WCORCC - General Mtg Daniel Boone Branch, St. Louis County Library, 300 Clarkson Road in Ellisville West County Older Residents Computer Club http://wcorcc.tripod.com/ Contact Mary Ann (6363918123) or Gordon(6363916469) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6:30pm STLLUG - St. Louis Linux Users Group Thu, September 16, 6:30pm . 9:30pm 4633 World Pkwy Cir, Berkeley, MO 63134 Venue: IT Enterprises http://www.stllinux.org/ 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.

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 =========================================================================== Saturday, September 18 1989 NeXT, the company founded by Steve Jobs after his forced resignation from Apple, released the NeXTstep OS, a Unix operating system based on the Mach kernel. 1998 The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) was formed in California as a non-profit corporation to oversee Internet domain management on behalf of the United States Government. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 9:00am Hiatus - OLMOLUG - Ol' Mo' Linux Users Group ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 12:30am ROBOMO - St. Louis Area Robotics Group Balloons into Near Space!

Fahlman of Carnegie Mellon University posted the landmark suggestion that users on the local bulletin board use symbols, which would later become known as emoticons, to express emotions during discussion threads. The original reads: 19-Sep-82 11:44 Scott E Fahlman : -) From: Scott E Fahlman I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers: : - ) Read it sideways. Actually, it is probably more economical to mark things that are NOT jokes, given current trends. For this, use : - ( 1996 Microsoft released Windows NT version 3.51.1057 SP5, the last version of Windows able to operate on an Intel 80386 CPU. 2005 Microsoft acquired Alacris, a relatively unknown developer of identity and access management applications, and adopted its primary software product as Microsoft's Active Directory. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1:00pm-5pm CWElug Cenral West End Linux Users Group Venue: NO LONGER at ByteWorks!

Novell Users Group. When Wed, September 15, 11:30am - 12:45pm Where Bandana's Bar-BQ (corner of Rock Hill and Manchester Rds) 9500 Manchester Rd, Rockhill, MO 63119 See http://snug.sluug.org/ > A short summary of Directory Services and where they've gone. > A look at the differences of: > Novell's eDirectory, > MicroSoft's Active Directory, > and OpenLDAP. > > > > > > Noah Lance (Sys Admin @ Snyder Electric (APC) & the Chair of > the St. Charles lug) will give his views and experiences > on the topic as we chat while we chomp. 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2:00pm STLISACA - StL InfoSys Audit & Ctrl Assn When Wed, September 15, 2pm . 4pm Description See http://www.isaca-stlouis.org/ Website seems to have NOT been updated since May.

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7:00pm St. Louis ALT.NET When Wed, September 15, 7pm . 9pm Where 161 Long Rd. #107, Chesterfield, MO 63005 (map) 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.
