Tiger stopped checking reciepts about a 6 months ago. Maybe not that far back. It doesn't really bother me, but just seems stupid to have a cash register 6 feet away from check point and think that you need to check again. What did I grab in a 6 foot distance? ok ok maybe 8 feet. Still, I guess I am old school, I do buy plenty on the web, but I truly just like?looking at the stuff before I buy it. I have found prices to be the same or even better at the store than online. The clearance boxes can be real fruitful.

I am going to Atlanta next week, and I am going to stop at one of the FRY's to see if they still carry a decent amount of components. I'll let you know if they are still STEALING your dignity as you walk out.

If you want that sort of shopping experience, check out TigerDirect on Capitol Blvd in Raleigh. I'd written about this here a few years back:

That was the last time TigerDirect got a penny from me.

Aha, a second one in Alpharetta. That's actually where I would have 
thought the first one would go rather than Duluth. Or maybe when I poked 
around looking for them a few months back the Alpharetta store just 
wasn't shown.

But speaking of "local resources", I have a buddy who lives in Arlington 
Texas and he can almost walk to the will-call counter at Mouser, that 
lucky dog.

Our datacenter is approximately 15 years old.  We would like to do an assessment to determine what if anything we can

Message-ID: <CAGaVwhSgf7qnuSA=Mp1wMp9VvohczLzTB5Gq56DaRcetsN9vhA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Everyone!

Just wanted to shoot a quick email to the group about an "Introduction
to Python" class series Girl Develop It RDU
(http://www.meetup.com/Girl-Develop-It-RDU/) is hosting at the end of
this month!

http://www.meetup.com/Girl-Develop-It-RDU/events/122999952/

The class is being taught by Caleb Smith
(https://twitter.com/CalebSmithNC), one of the many talented
developers
at Caktus Group (http://www.caktusgroup.com/). The venue for the class
has been graciously donated by Web Assign

(http://www.webassign.net/) (thank you Steve!) in Raleigh.

I am sure there are many people on this list who are not in need of an
introductory course, but wanted to post
here in case you know of anyone who might be interested! We'd also
love any help with promoting the class to other

groups and/or organizations too.

Please feel free to email the organizers with any questions! They are
very pretty thrilled to be
offering one of the first Python classes in the Girl Develop It
organization and are looking forward to bringing
more Python educational offerings to the Triangle.

I am posting this helping my colleague Julia Elman spread the word.
You can contact her at julia.elman (at) gmail.com,
on twitter as @juliaelman, or via her website http://juliaelman.com/

They are as paranoid about the honesty of their cashiers as they are about their customers. That's why they put a receipt check so close to the cashier.

While out shopping, hit Tiger Direct on Capital. At the cash register 
for checkout the cashier turned my credit card over. I thought it odd as 
I was standing right there, it wasn't an online transaction.

 From Tiger, we went furniture shopping where the same card was denied 
due to the bank's Fraud Control department putting a hold on the card.  
Its my belief the Tiger cashier sent our credit card information to a 
confederate along with the CSV code from the back of the card.

Buyer beware at Tiger.

All merchants are required by their credit card agreement to turn cards
over, look for the signature and ask for ID if there isn't one. They don't
all do it, but they are supposed to.

I use a low value credit card for purchases where the card leaves my possession.

Some people cover the CSV with a sticker to prevent that type of
thing.  I've also see it done on Drivers Licences to cover some
personal info that clerks do not need to verify your age when buying
alcohol.

It's a pity the US hasn't caught up with the rest of the world and
switched to chip based credit cards.

Derek,

It's not listed on our site yet, but I'm hiring engineers for a cross functional operations team for Amplify Education in downtown Durham. I guess the trendy kids are calling it DevOps, but the day to day work is a mix of developing automation tools for managing a large cloud-based infrastructure, supporting developer-facing operations, as well as student/teacher-facing production infrastructure. We've got a mix of people from Development and Operations background on the team, so it makes for a really rich mix of ideas on how to best solve problems for the business. 

Drop a note to me at my work address, mhedemark at amplify.com, and we can talk some more. I'm the hiring manager for the team, not a recruiter.

I've got a couple of seats open on the team right now and I'm game to bring in anything from very senior level engineers on down to people who are more junior or intermediate in experience. We've got a steady flow of work from the product teams we support, and could use help even if that means we're growing someone who isn't that seasoned yet.

-Magnus

I am not aware of any tools that will create a SPEC file from scratch.

Try the documentation below.

Hi,

There are some tools but they tend to be geared to very specific use
cases (I know there is a Ruby Gem to spec file generator).  On the
whole I find the best way to approach it is to find an existing spec
that does something close to what you are looking to do and use it as
a template.  The docs are pretty good on the whole, depending on the
complexity of your requirements you might want to look into Mock
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock) which can ease the setup
of the build environment.

David.

At this point, unless you're trying to get it into a distro, I'd just use
FPM. https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/wiki then you get more than just
RPM.

Nope, actually i am looking for some script that helps end users to create
their own spec file and later use tito to create rpm using version control
...

or may be i have to develop script which can help to create spec file.

Hi LUGgers,

The eventbrite page appears to indicate that this training session is
full.  It doesn't come right out and say it, but the "Remaining" column
is empty and the "Quantity" column has "Add to Waitlist".

Can anyone confirm?  I sent email to the training team asking if it's
closed.

I had plans to travel on business next week, but it got postponed.  I'd
like to attend if there's room.

Thanks much!

    Scott

My stupid Android phone's calendar does that, too.  Whenever I enter an
appointment it defaults to entering it as "Eastern Standard Time."  If I
don't notice and change it to "Eastern Time" then I'm an hour late to my

Anyone using GnuCash?? I am specifically interested in how it might be an alternative to Quickbooks for Nonprofits.
It would be installed on a Linux and Windows XP machine.
I am specifically interested in how it handles the receipt of non-sales money (i.e. donations). Regular Quickbooks
treats everything as a sales receipt --- don't know how the version for Nonprofits does it.


Thanks,

I use it as a replacement for Quicken.  I don't know how it compares to
QuickBooks.

I found I had to forget the 'Quicken' way of doing things: GnuCash uses the
double-entry
accounting method which I was able to pick up without too much trouble.

then again, I have no background in accounting, so other than seeing that
the numbers
add up I have no idea if I'm using it *correctly*.

I have used it in the past for personal finances. The TriLUG Steering
Committee uses it also.

Quicken and Quickbooks force/guide you to do things in a particular
way. I found that GnuCash was more flexible, but you also get less
guidance on how to initially structure things.  In the GnuCash double
entry accounting system, you would create an account for Donations and
money would come out of that account and go into your bank account.  I
don't know about generating invoices or receipts.

I have been using GnuCash for over 10 years and I like it very much. It uses 
double-entry accounting which takes a bit of getting used to if you have not 
done it before, but is the only legal way to go for businesses and non-profits. 
I use two sets of books, one for my personal finances and one for my business. I 
also have a set of books I use for testing and demonstration.

You can set it up any way you want. It has a setup wizard that works well and 
you can set up anything from simple checkbook accounting to a set of corporate 
books. I don't recall that there is a non-profit option. It does have an 
invoicing system, but you do not need to use that to record income which can be 
assigned to any type of income or asset account you create such as 
Income=>Pledges or Income=>Cash Donations
etc. A pledge would be a form of receivable anyway so the matching entry for 
Income=>Pledges would be in Assets=>Accounts Receivable.

Sales is always one account for business income, but you can change the name to 
anything you want. An accountant would be able to advise you on the best 
structure for a set of accounts in a non-profit.

I use it on a Linux system.

I hope this helps.

I use GnuCash for personal use and for a small consulting business, and
I used it for my TriLUG treasurer duties last year.

Somehow, I feel like this question about how GnuCash handles donations
is kind of like asking which word processor is best for a r?sum?. 
GnuCash is just a general ledger.  It keeps track of accounts, and it's
up to you to structure your accounts the way you want them.  Maybe some
tools will have specific walk-through wizards to help you enter certain
kinds of transactions.  But in the end, they are just transactions
between accounts.

I asked my dad (an accountant) about setting up accounts for things that
were not obvious to me.  For example, I did not know how TriLUG should
track donations and expenses for BarCamp 2013.  In that case, it was as
simple as creating a "BarCamp donations" account in the INCOME account
hierarchy, a "BarCamp expenses" account in the EXPENSES account
hierarchy, and a "PayPal" account in the ASSETS account hierarchy.  Then
you move amounts from one account to another as stuff happens.

Again, GnuCash is a basic double-accounting ledger.  There is very
little to guide you through specific transactions.  The only specific
"guides" that I use in GnuCash are (1) the screen for reconciling an
account against your bank statement (2) the screen for closing the books
at the end of the year.

One big plus for GnuCash is that it is cross platform.  I use it on Mac
and Linux.  And I can pass a GnuCash file to my dad to look at on Windows.

I can't compare GnuCash to QuickBooks, because I've never used
QuickBooks.  It is good for day-to-day personal finances, but its charts
and reports are somewhat weak compared to Quicken.  I do wish they had
more personal budget style reports and charts.

ditto about 15yrs. It's never failed me once in all that time. Completely

gnucash is an accounting program. You have to know how to do accounts. There is 
a hefty accounting manual for gnucash. I started with the first two chapters in 
the Schaum's book on Accounting. I have needed help from accounting knowledgable 
people over the years. How to do things is not always obvious, but in retrospect 
you can see that it's right.

As we found out from Enron, there are any number of ways of accounting for 
money, all of them right.

I set up my ledgers exactly the way the tax forms are setup.

Subject: [TriLUG] action on reboot
Message-ID: <51C501B9.1070603@nivex.net>

For those of you who run IRC bouncers and the like on pilot but aren't 
always around to bring them back up after the maintenance reboots:

The cron in most Linux distros of the day allows you to specify 
"@reboot" in lieu of the usual 5-number time specification.

By way of example, if I want ZNC to start up when the box does:

kjotte at pilot:~$ crontab -e

You will be taken into an editor. Add this line to the file:
@reboot            /usr/bin/znc

Save the file and exit the editor. The crontab file will be verified and 
installed. Voil?!

GnuCash is what I use for bank account reconcilation. Numbers add up. Don't
have an idea If I am using it as it was designed, but the numbers add up.

Also use GnuCash for my scorp. Used to use Quickbooks in the 1990's. Seem
to be about equivalent for me. I don't do payroll through either.
Every year I make a report of my Income Statement, Transactions, and
Balance Sheet and send to my accountant for filing my taxes. No issues so
far.

Thanks,
Tim
