My article "Keymap Blues in Ubuntu's Text Console" in LG#157 left a poster in LG#158 a bit annoyed.

Away Mission: 2008 in Review - part 1

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 14:50:49 -0500

By Howard Dyckoff

The past year saw a number of conference trends. Many formerly large conferences have layered related topics and sub-conferences in order to hold on to their audiences. LinuxWorld, for example, added mobility tracks and the "Next Generation Data Center" conference for the last two years and now has changed its name to OpenSource World for 2009. USENIX events also had many overlapping related conferences occurring alongside its major events.

Hyperestraier Redux - A User-friendly Approach

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 14:50:49 -0500

By Ben Okopnik

Thanks to Karl Vogel's recent article about Hyperestraier, I've been playing around with indexing some of my data - and having lots of fun in the process. I discovered that Hyperestraier is exceptionally good at what it does; it's a fantastic app, and I wish I'd known about it years ago. It lets me build fast, searchable databases of almost any textual content, including anything that can be converted to text, and to have a Web interface to those databases. This article documents the results of my experience in exploring Hyperestraier, and presents a few "aids to navigation" to make indexing and searching pleasant and fun - or at least as pain-free as possible.

By Joey Prestia
