Out of Work
by cragos＠gmail.com 04 Oct '06

The WISP that bought out the corpse of my former employer doesn't have room for another tech. I've got a week old copy of my resume that doesn't include any details about my current contract, but I can be out of here with a week's notice or less. It's posted at http://speedex.net/~mrzaius/Resume-SeanCrago-Sept26-updated.pdf If anyone knows of a cable ISP, a wireless ISP, or any Linux heavy sysadmin jobs that they could pass my way, I'd be forever in their debt. Note that while I live in Illinois at the moment, I'm familiar with and have family in KC, so I'd go there in a heartbeat. Again, I'll be free/unemployed in a week or two. Many thanks to anyone who can help me out, Sean Crago aka MrZaius

Audio CD Burning with write offset
by Charles Steinkuehler 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 After much tinkering, I have setup a process to rip my CD collection to FLAC files and I'm now trying to go the other way: create a CD from the FLAC/cue-sheet/TOC file. I'm using cdrdao to burn the CD, but CD's created this way are offset by 30 samples from the original disc (note: my Plextor burner has a write offset of 30 samples, according to various online sources). I have verified the flac file contents are correct (or at least match the results of EAC and accuraterip), so I'm pretty sure the problem is with the writing process. I use cdparanoia to rip (providing a sample offset), but cdrdao does not appear to support offsets of any form for reading or writing. I could use some audio tools and manually hack the wave file before burning the CD, but that seems cumbersome to say the least. Is there some way to get cdrdao to deal with sample offsets, or another (*nix) program I can use to burn audio CDs that supports generating subcode, CD-TEXT, *AND* write-offsets? I generally like EAC (and I run across a number of folks running EAC in wine on linux), but I really don't want to depend on a closed-source program to rip/archive/restore my CDs...which is why I'm ripping to flac and then to ogg files in the first place! - -- Charles Steinkuehler charles(a)steinkuehler.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFI8WbLywbqEHdNFwRAiZEAKDO5kvmu5OlLEFFKvwIWR3VGR0bQwCfRf/K APPDIVuekSwcr0Qx0xov3ak= =9+V0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[OT] Free Phone if you take my contract
by Josh Charles 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

Hello All, First I apologize for this off topic posting, but I believe that there might be a few of you interested in this. I need to get out of my cingular contract because I'm not using it enough. Luckily, I discovered that other people can take over the contract (either as a new cingular customer, or they can combine it with the contract they already have, like a family plan). Here are the details: 1 _Free_ Sony Ericsson S170a. 1 Year old. It still sells new for over $300. It's a great phone, just a lot more than I need. Here's a url with specs and a review: http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=602 http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/07/sony-ericsson-s710a-review/ $55 / Month which includes the base price of $45, insurance on the phone, and limited roadside assistance. Both the insurance and RA can be removed at anytime to take the price down. There is about 11.5 months left on the contract. All of this is void if you just wish to add this contract to your family plan. 450 Anytime minutes, 5000 nights and weekends. Free mobile to mobile Over 3,000 rollover anytime minutes saved up! You shouldn't have any worries about minutes with that. If you don't know how this works, the process is pretty easy. if you're interested in taking over the contract, give me a call, and I'll call cingular to let them know that you can ask for my contract. Then you'll have to call them and go through their process including a quick credit check (virtually painless). Then, the transfer happens, and I can either mail you the phone, or we can meet somewhere. The phone number for this phone is 816.812.7158, and will be carried over. Unfortunately, Cingular doesn't support transfering a contract without transfering the number. Please let me know if you're interested! I apologize once again for the off topic post, but I figured that you all could appreciate something like this. Josh -- Josh Charles josh.charles(a)gmail.com 816.812.7158

What good sources for SSL certificates are there that are recognized by most browsers? A client of mine got a cert. from GoDaddy, only to find out that GoDaddy's CA isn't in most browsers so it might as well be self-signed. Who do you recommend?
