Episode 016 - HPR Potluck Roundtable

The show starts off with some Fedora talk.

Azimuth shares his bash script for his SimpleHTTPServer:

#!/bin/bash
# This sets up a temp SimpleHTTPServer from the folder it was started in.
# Be sure to open port 8000 in the firewall to access it.
# Web connectivity is "http://<your current IP>:8000"
python -c "import SimpleHTTPServer;SimpleHTTPServer.test()"

JMan talks about a cool open media center called Enna.

monsterb mentions FreeBSDNews.net reporting BSD Magazine has gone free! He also talks about a cool command line app called ink (check the ink level of your local or network connected printer on a system which runs Linux or OpenSolaris).

klaatu reads feedback from Rod and SigFLUP. He also mentions a desktop review idea "So... i'm wondering if it might be worth having each TiT switch to some OTHER desktop than their usual one or two, use it for a week or two, and report back on the next TiT episode. It'd be a good excuse, for me at least, to finally actually try something edgy like RatPoison (or whatever its replacement was) or twindy or whatever."

You can watch our progress on Unix Porn!
