Re: OpenOffice worm Badbunny hops across operating systems

> If I cared about OpenOffice.org, perhaps ;) > I see it as Windows bloatware. Us *nix users have KSpread to use :) KSpread is bloatware. The truest *nix users are content with bc and a handful of shell scripts. :-) I also don't care about OpenOffice (because it is bloatware), nor use bc (I use MySQL for columnar math), but the principle of not complaining about open source software is the issue, not upgrading to a new class of complaint about the software in question. I'm really lame as a Linux operator, but I do understand the principles. We must labor hard to preserve the attitude of gratitude which is the only payment required of those who put in the hours coding free software. -Jared

What are the other 3 of you guys doing with these socket 604 CPUs? I forget who got the other 3.6 GHz-- maybe we should put ours together to colocate a dual proc server?

>> oocalc can't open gnumeric spreadsheets - how stupid is that? > > Pfft, it can't even open KSpread spreadsheets! It always amazes me when people can find flaws in free and open software. The responsible thing to do with a supposed flaw in Open Office is to go fix it. Or at least make a feature request and then wait patiently. I haven't fixed a line of code in Open Office, so it's the principle not the practical which I'm advocating. -Jared "Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam, and the skies are not cloudy all day.

Looking for an OS Commerce expert
by Greg Brooks 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

All, I have a friend who needs help tweaking an OS Commerce system and also setting up a web-based database she'd populate with data from an existing Access database. Any takers? She's gun-shy about working with solo practitioners unless they have back-up for vacations and whatnot. Hit me offlist if you're interested and we can discuss. Greg

"Embrace The Penguin" Linux Action, Fri. June 15
by Jim Herrmann 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

The world premiere of the KCLUG written song "Embrace The Penguin" will occur this Friday night at 7:00 p.m. at the Songwriters Circle Night at Toto's Coffeehouse in Mission. Toto's is on Johnson Drive just east of Metcalf. You are all invited to attend. We will be video taping the new songs for Songpull.com. We could get a copy of the video to post other places like You Tube and KCLUG.ORG. There is an interview process that goes with each song, and I thought we would include a KCLUG presence as part of the interview. Interviews start at 6:30 so if you want to be in the video, be there early. Monty and I were thinking we could have a KCLUG action at this event to hand out either copies of Linux or at the least hand outs with more information like where to get free Ubuntu CDs and where to get local support (KCLUG). Monty is thinking he'll have "the cards" to hand out. What does the KCLUG community think about this idea? Seems like a good promotion event. Discuss. Peace, Jim
