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?

Neurological Surgery and Biomedical Engineering and Director, Center for
Innovation in Neuroscience and Technology, Washington University School
of Medicine, Department of Neurological Surgery; 2007 Academy of Science
Innovation Award recipient
Over the last decade the idea of machines that can be controlled by
one's thoughts has emerged from the realm of fiction to one of serious
scientific inquiry. These types of devices hold tremendous promise for
improving the quality of life of individuals who are cognitively intact
yet motor impaired. Join Eric Leuthardt, M.D., assistant professor of
Neurological Surgery and Biomedical Engineering at Washington
University, as he discusses human brain signals, how these signals are
decoded, the implications they hold for brain computer interfaces, and
how the world will change when we can control devices with our thoughts
alone.
Presented in conjunction with the History Museum gallery installation,
The Americans with Disabilities Act: Twenty Years Later, on display at

Rube Goldberg: Applying the UNIX Philosophy to Genomics
By David Dooling
UNIX is an operating system designed by engineers for engineers. This
talk will discuss how The Genome Center at Washington U. in St.
Louis is using the design philosophy of UNIX, small reusable components,
to develop software and schedule work.
The talk will also discuss how the application of this philosophy has
allowed The Genome Center to sequence and analyze the genomes of hundreds
of cancer patients, the exomes of hundreds of diabetics, and the platypus.

Presented By: Darryl Parks (Monsanto)
Maven is a tool for managing and building Java-based projects. According to it's Apache home, Maven's primary goal is to allow a developer to comprehend the complete state of a development effort in the shortest period of time. In order to attain this goal there are several areas of concern that Maven attempts to deal with:
* Making the build process easy
* Providing a uniform build system
* Providing quality project information
* Providing guidelines for best practices development
* Allowing transparent migration to new features

~~~ One who has no where to go can not be lost...
July 30, 2010 (Last Friday Of July)
11th Annual
System Administrator Appreciation Day
A sysadmin unpacked the server for this website from its box, installed an operating system, patched it for security, made sure the power
and air conditioning was working in the server room, monitored it for stability, set up the software, and kept backups in case anything
went wrong. All to serve this webpage.
A sysadmin installed the routers, laid the cables, configured the networks, set up the firewalls, and watched and guided the traffic for
each hop of the network that runs over copper, fiber optic glass, and even the air itself to bring the Internet to your computer. All to
make sure the webpage found its way from the server to your computer.
Ted In Wires
Fig. 1 Ted.
A sysadmin makes sure your network connection is safe, secure, open, and working. A sysadmin makes sure your computer is working in a
healthy way on a healthy network. A sysadmin takes backups to guard against disaster both human and otherwise, holds the gates against
security threats and crackers, and keeps the printers going no matter how many copies of the tax code someone from Accounting prints out.
A sysadmin worries about spam, viruses, spyware, but also power outages, fires and floods.
When the email server goes down at 2 AM on a Sunday, your sysadmin is paged, wakes up, and goes to work.
A sysadmin is a professional, who plans, worries, hacks, fixes, pushes, advocates, protects and creates good computer networks, to get you
your data, to help you do work -- to bring the potential of computing ever closer to reality.
So if you can read this, thank your sysadmin -- and know he or she is only one of dozens or possibly hundreds whose work brings you the
email from your aunt on the West Coast, the instant message from your son at college, the free phone call from the friend in Australia,
and this webpage.
Show your appreciation
Friday, July 30, 2010, is the 11th annual System Administrator Appreciation Day. On this special international day, give your System
Administrator something that shows that you truly appreciate their hard work and dedication. (All day Friday, 24 hours, your own local
time-zone).
Let's face it, System Administrators get no respect 364 days a year. This is the day that all fellow System Administrators across the
globe, will be showered with expensive sports cars and large piles of cash in appreciation of their diligent work. But seriously, we are
asking for a nice token gift and some public acknowledgement. It's the least you could do.
Consider all the daunting tasks and long hours (weekends too.) Let's be honest, sometimes we don't know our System Administrators as well
as they know us. Remember this is one day to recognize your System Administrator for their workplace contributions and to promote
professional excellence. Thank them for all the things they do for you and your business.

THURSDAY (TONITE) 6:30pm
ANDROID LINUX CODING.
A Crash Course in Android Game Development StL MobileDev
Meeting moved to Thursday 7/29/10 (due to a space conflict)
In this talk I will be demonstrating writing a simple Android game. If
you wish to follow along you can bring you laptop (totally optional),
please have Eclipse 3.5 and the Android SDK preloaded as I won't have
time to cover this. I will be using the 2.1 SDK (Cupcake) for this talk
but will only use features that have been available from 1.6 and later.
My main goals for this talk will be:
* How to create a View
* How to draw Bitmaps and Shapes in the View
* How to respond to user input
If we have extra time we might add a little game logic to the project. I
plan on spending about 2 hours on the subject.
