In Linux in the Ham Shack’s sexiest episode ever, the guys take on some sensuous applications from the Python world. Dan, KK7DS, has been writing cross-platform software for D-STAR and rig programming for some time. Richard and Russ take on a couple of his more prominent works: d-rats and chirp. On the purely Linux and Open Source side of the program, there are some valuable nuggets that we’ll let you all listen to find out about. And they try not to get too excited, but with this being Episode #069, it’s hard not to. Thanks to everyone for downloading the show and have a Merry Christmas and bountiful New Year.
Welcome to another installment of Linux in the Ham Shack. In this episode, our mostly unprepared hosts discuss a couple of interesting topics. Yes, really, they are interesting. In the Ham Geeky™ section, Richard plows the fertile fields of contest loggers for Linux, as well as cross-platform solutions, including running your own favorites under WINE. In our Linux Geeky™ area, Russ discusses the VLC media player among other things you’ll just have to listen to find out about. Several pieces of feedback are discussed and there is the usual assortment of witty banter, mindless rambling and quasi drunkenness. No, that’s not right–I meant quasi drunkenness. So sit back, strap in, and enjoy the ride.
In this episode of Linux in the Ham Shack, our heroes manage to stay more or less on topic, which means there might be some actual content for the listeners. Hooray for small miracles. In segment one, Richard discusses his adventure at the Texoma Hamarama in Ardmore, Oklahoma. In segment two, the boys get all Ham Geeky™ about hamqth.com and all the neat things one can do with it. In the third and final segment, the Linux Geeky™ topic is CUPS and how to making printing easier for those who wish to do it using Linux.
Sorry for the recent Web site downtime. It was a stupid error on my (K5TUX’s) part. Also, it drives home the need for me to separate the production Web server from the development one. Hopefully that will be accomplished in the near future and downtime like was experienced over the last few days will not happen again. Thank you for hanging in there and welcome back to the site.
