Have you tried cracking out wireshark to sniff and visualize the
packets?

I have a willing advanced topics speaker


Not for tonight, but I have recruited a speaker for the advanced
topics meeting.  She can talk this month (April 21).  Who is the
correct coordinator these days?  Alan or Michael Dexter?

A willing speaker? What sort of lies did you have to tell?

Simple shame (I'd asked this person 2 years ago and she'd begged off
then with the excuse that she had just started the job), and appeal to
the public spirit.

fonts on browser

I tried solving one font problem and ended up with a new one.

Running Linux Mint (current edition), dual-booted with Windows XP, I  
wanted to import fonts from Windows; the lack of some comparable  
fonts are a bar to some of the desktop publishing I do. So I copied  
the fonts directory in XP (that is, windows/fonts) over to a memory  
stick, thence to the Linux side of the machine at usr/share/fonts.  
New fonts did show up (though not all, a couple I hoped for did not  
materialize) in the Open Office docs I opened.

But, when I went to use Firefox and Galeon, no text of any sort  
showed up in the browser window - only web wage images and design.  
The problem doesn't seem to extend to other programs - the Tomboy  
notes program, for example, seems to operate as normal.

I suppose (I hope) I can reverse this by deleting the fonts directory  
I just copied over. But I'm wondering if there's a way to get the  
fonts to work in all of these places. Or is there something about  
what I did that would cause the installation to work in OO but not in  
the browsers?

bash question

I have a very simple bash script which wants an argument.  I would like to
source it.  I find that if I source it from another script using its
relative path it works fine--the argument is received.  If I source it using
its full path no argument is received.  A simple test is:

script1.sh:
#! /bin/sh
echo "Argument = $ <at> "

script2.sh:
#!/bin/sh
. <full path>/script1.sh full
. <relative path>/script1.sh relative

The result show no argument received in the full case.

Ideas?

bash question

I just found this:
$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2009-06-10 16:51 /bin/sh -> dash

On another system sh -> bash, so that I just assumed...

what is dash, he asks, and wonders if it bears on this issue.
