Sadly, I am moving to Eagle and had to take the MERIDN digipeater off the air.
SHAFER has great coverage now and so a fill-in digi isn’t really needed.
I’ll implement an Igate at the new house for routing packets to APRS-IS.

Dropbox is a service that allows you to keep files synchronized across multiple machines (and multiple platforms).
Here is some additional info from ars technica.
Wahoo! Not sure when it started, but yesterday I noticed IMAP mail was flowing immediately to my Blackberry Curve (I’m a BIS user on T-mobile). Then today, I see this post over at Blackberry Cool which confirms I’m not the only one!

I contributed to a Handbrake forum a while back. Thought you might find it useful too.
This is my evolving script for transcoding DVDs from MacTheRipper.
1) Save the file in a logical place (I keep it in the Movies Folder… same place I rip movies to). It will loop through all titles longer than X.
#!/bin/sh
# usage is ./thisScript.sh minimumDuration SomeDirContainingVIDEO_TS
# duration is set in minutes ("30" equals 30 minutes)
# specify the container directory for the VIDEO_TS directory
# example ./handbrake-longer-than.sh 30 24_SEASON6_D1
#set default path to HandBrakeCLI
PathToHandBrakeCLI=/some/path/to/HandBrakeCLI
if [ "${1}x" = "x" ]; then
echo "Minutes not provided"
exit
fi
if [ "${2}x" = "x" ]; then
echo "VIDEO_TS path not provided"
exit
fi
time=$1
export time
for i in $(find $2 -type d -name VIDEO_TS) ; do
for title in $($PathToHandBrakeCLI -t 0 -i $i -L 2>&1 | grep "has length" | sed 's/sec//' | sed 's/[()]//g' | awk '$8 > (60 * ENVIRON["time"]) { print $3 "-" $5 } ') ; do
#this names the title for the output file
titlenum=$(echo $title | cut -f 2 -d '-')
# you can change the preset or any other variables here
$PathToHandBrakeCLI -i $i -o ${2}-title${titlenum}-appletv.m4v --preset="AppleTV" -2 -T -P -t ${titlenum}
#output example: 24_SEASON6_D1-title1-appletv.m4v
done
done
2) Within the script, set the path to your HandBrakeCLI app on line 9.
3) Don’t forget to run this before trying to execute it:
chmod 777 ./handbrake-longer-than.sh
4) Execute it like this:
./handbrake-longer-than.sh 30 24_SEASON6_D1
Where “30” is the shortest title you want to export and “24_SEASON6_D1” is the name of the folder containing your VIDEO_TS directory.
Looking for a log to show you failed login attempts to your Linux machine? Look in:
/var/log/btmp
You can access it by running:
/usr/bin/lastb
It’s similiar to the wtmp log of user login/logouts and the utmp log showing who is currently logged in.
Products like Spanning Sync allow you to sync your iCal with your Google calendar. Now Google has a new service called “Google Calendar CalDAV” that allows you to do the same thing.
Details at: Enable Google Calendar in iCal
I tried it and it works very good. Everything sync’d within a couple of minutes (I have a LOT of entries). No problems so far.
nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Should look something like this
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=172.16.0.255
HWADDR=00:00:00:00:00:00
IPADDR=172.16.0.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=172.16.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
Duplicate that and open the new file
cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
Change device name, set new IP, remove reference to hardware
DEVICE=eth0:0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=172.16.0.255
IPADDR=172.16.0.3
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=172.16.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
After a few months of continuous use, I’ve found Ensim to start using too much swap space and getting sluggish. A quick restart via command line, always fixes both:
/etc/init.d/epld restart
It’s easy to pause a shell script during execution. Just add:
sleep 10
(where 10 is the number of seconds you want the script to pause.)
Some code for testing would be…
#!/bin/sh
before="$(date +%s)"
echo $before
sleep 3
after="$(date +%s)"
echo $after
elapsed_seconds="$(expr $after - $before)"
echo Elapsed time for code block: $elapsed_seconds
Have other ideas? Please comment.
