Word up! the anti-talkshoe producers of this episode: Timrit and cobra2

The problem: You have a series of photos where the time is offset from the correct time but is still correct in relation to each other.

Here are a few of the times that I’ve needed to do this:
- Changing the battery on my camera switched to a default date.
- I wanted to synchronize the time on my camera to a GPS track so the photos matched the timestamped coordinates.
- At a family event where images from different cameras were added together.

You can do edit the timestamp using a GUI and many photo manipulation applications like the GIMP support metadata editing. For example on KDE:

    gwenview -> plugins -> images -> metadata -> edit EXIF 

The problem is that this gets tiresome after a few images, and anyway the times are correct in relation to each other – I just need to add or subtract a time correction to them en masse.

The answer: exiv2 – Image metadata manipulation tool. It is a program to read and write Exif, IPTC and XMP image metadata and image comments.

user@pc:~$ exiv2 *.jpg

Metering mode   : Multi-segment
Macro mode      :

Exif Resolution : 1280 x 960
White balance   :
Thumbnail       : image/jpeg, 5950 Bytes
Copyright       :
Exif comment    :

The trick is to pick a image where you can that figure out what the time was and work out the time offset. In my case I needed to adjust the date forward by six months and four days while changing the time back by seven hours. I used the command exiv2 -O 6 -D 4 -a -7 *.jpg

-a time
    Time adjustment in the format [-]HH[:MM[:SS]].
    This option is only used with the 'adjust' action. Examples:
        1 adds one hour,
        1:01 adds one hour and one minute,
        -0:00:30 subtracts 30 seconds.
-Y yrs
    Time adjustment by a positive or negative number of years, for the 'adjust' action.
-O mon
    Time adjustment by a positive or negative number of months, for the 'adjust' action.
-D day
    Time adjustment by a positive or negative number of days, for the 'adjust' action.

When we run this we can see that the timestamp has now changed.

user@pc:~$ exiv2 *.jpg | grep timestamp
Image timestamp : 2009:06:11 08:12:59

That’s it. Remember this is the end of the conversation – to give feedback you can either record a show for the HPR network and email it to admin@hackerpublicradio.org or write it on a post-it note and attach it to the windscreen of Dave Yates’s car as he’s recording his next show.

ThistleWeb discusses the difference between process based and asynchronous servers, then goes on to talk about Cherokee server and a few flat file PHP applications.

• Lighty V's Nginx Wiki
• Cherokee Server
• Cherokee Ubuntu PPA
• XAMPP The one-click server for Linux, Windows or OSX.
• How to forge has plenty of tutorials, including a few on Cherokee.
• DokuWiki
• Nano CMS Project Homepage. This domain seems to have expired, so the code is hosted on Google for now.
• FlatPress

The Admin process:

• sudo cherokee-admin
• localhost:9090
• Copy and paste the temprary password.
• You can bind it (or a virtual server) to 127.0.0.1 if it's meant to be a private server.

I kept refering to "spawn-cgi" in the recording. This is supposed to be "spawn-fcgi". I also inferred that it didn't use config files, it does; it just generates them via the admin web GUI and will overwrite any changes made manually.

ThistleWeb explains 2 tips with the keypad / numblock function. First is numblockx, a simple app which remembers the status of the numblock key across reboots. This is already installed and running in many distros but if it's not it can be added. Second is CTRL+ALT+NUMLOCK which toggles the keypad into a different mode, allowing you to move the pointer with the keypad.

Some Common STOP codes: Bug Check 0xA: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

The IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bug check has a value of 0x0000000A. This indicates that Microsoft Windows or a kernel-mode driver accessed paged memory at DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.

The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen. Parameter Description 1 Memory referenced 2 IRQL at time of reference 3 0: Read 1: Write 4 Address which referenced memory Cause This bug check is issued if paged memory (or invalid memory) is accessed when the IRQL is too high. The error that generates this bug check usually occurs after the installation of a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS. If you encounter bug check 0xA while upgrading to a later version of Windows, this error might be caused by a device driver, a system service, a virus scanner, or a backup tool that is incompatible with the new version. If a kernel debugger is available, obtain a stack trace.

To resolve an error caused by a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS
1. Restart your computer.
2. Press F8 at the character-based menu that displays the operating system choices.
3. Select the Last Known Good Configuration option from the Windows Advanced Options menu. This option is most effective when only one driver or service is added at a time.

To resolve an error caused by an incompatible device driver, system service, virus scanner, or backup tool
1. Check the System Log in Event Viewer for error messages that might identify the device or driver that caused the error.
2. Try disabling memory caching of the BIOS.
3. Run the hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer, especially the memory scanner. For details on these procedures, see the owner's manual for your computer.
4. Make sure the latest Service Pack is installed.
5. If your system has small computer system interface (SCSI) adapters, contact the adapter manufacturer to obtain updated Windows drivers. Try disabling sync negotiation in the SCSI BIOS, checking the cabling and the SCSI IDs of each device, and confirming proper termination.
6. For integrated device electronics (IDE) devices, define the onboard IDE port as Primary only. Also, check each IDE device for the proper master/subordinate/stand-alone setting. Try removing all IDE devices except for hard disks. If the message appears during an installation of Windows, make sure that the computer and all installed peripherals are listed in the Microsoft Windows Marketplace Tested Products List.

In episode 2 of Networking Basics, Klaatu covers Routers, Switches, and Hubs. He also discusses the concepts of Collision Domains and Broadcast Domains.

The ogg version is available here.

Locations Menu files (requires root to edit)

• /usr/shar/applications

• /usr/share/pixmaps
• /usr/share/icons/foo

Edit files in plain text editor like GEdit

• Name : the name it will display on the menu (may need to change Name[foo] to reflect your language)
• Language : speaks for itself
• Comment : the rollover text
• Exec : the command it will execute when clicked
• Icon : the path to the icon shown in the menu
• OnlyShowIn : useful when trying to find why an application may not be showing the menu
• Terminal : runs the command in a terminal
• Categories : (I think) this is the submenu groups where it'll appear on the menu

Changes sometimes take a little while to update, restarting X or rebooting will force it to re-read that folder and apply the changes.

• Right click to edit menu. Click on something like a separator, move it up, then down to it's original place. Save.

Definitions taken from different dictionaries, with non-IT related definitions removed for relevance.

"Hacker" :n

1. A programmer who breaks into computer systems in order to steal or change or destroy information as a form of cyber-terrorism [syn: cyber-terrorist, cyberpunk]
2. A programmer for whom computing is its own reward; may enjoy the challenge of breaking into other computers but does no harm; "true hackers subscribe to a code of ethics and look down upon crackers"
3. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary.
4. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming.
5. A person capable of appreciating hack value.
6. A person who is good at programming quickly.
7. An expert at a particular program, or one who frequently does work using it or on it; as in `a Unix hacker'. (Definitions 1 through 5 are correlated, and people who fit them congregate.)
8. An expert or enthusiast of any kind. One might be an astronomy hacker, for example.
9. One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing limitations.
10. [deprecated] A malicious meddler who tries to discover sensitive information by poking around. Hence `password hacker', `network hacker'. The correct term for this sense is cracker.

Three Prime Numbers: 2, 3 and 5.
I will call them A, B and C so A=2, B=3 and C=5
Working through x as the current position, 
and i being the unencrypted password and j being the encrypted as an array,
 so i[x] is the 'current' position we get:

j[x] = ((j[x-1] + i[x] + A) * B ) MOD C

The password example I give is:

Encrypting 123

1 (unencrypted password) + 2 (Prime A) = 3
3 * 3 (Prime B) = 9
9 MOD 5 (Prime C) = 4

4 (previous encrypted) + 2 (current unencrypted) + 2 (Prime A) = 8
8 * 3 (Prime B) = 24
24 MOD 5 (Prime C) = 4

4 (previous encrypted) + 3 (current unencrypted) + 2 (Prime A) = 9
9 * 3 (Prime C) = 27
27 MOD 5 (Prime C) = 2

So the encrypted password is 442

Klaatu and notJlindsay discuss Pulse Audio and how to configure it so it doesn't bork your system. One thing Klaatu fails to mention is that before you try any of this, you should just run whatever software updates may be available for your OS. Pulse configuration and compatability seems to be improving rapidly over time, so many thing may "fix themselves" by simply making sure your distro is up to date.
