Journal Journal: Kiosk Cancelled

I cancelled the Kiosk project.
The Church isn't thrilled, but that's too darned bad.
What finally killed it wasn't the underpowered workstations or tech issues but an infantile attitude concerning web filtering.

The Pastor and the Church council decided that they wanted all Iraq war infomation blocked.

Journal Journal: Kiosk 1

I've been working on and off for months now on a Kiosk system for a local church.

In the last few weeks I've made fantastic forward progress, and in some areas, reverse progress in others.
I've got the filtering end and wireless issues cleared up (http://www.censornet.com/) was a breeze once I gave up on using just one Network card and went to two.

AT&T and I parted ways in November and I'm busy searching for the next thing, this time the right thing.

Journal Journal: Eric Raymond on SCO ambush.

From http://www.opensource.org/sco-vs-ibm.html

SCO's complaint, in all its brazen mendacity, is the last gasp of proprietary Unix.
The open-source community (and its allies) are more than competent to carry forward the Unix tradition they founded so many years ago.
We pray that all assertions of exclusive corporate ownership over this tradition be given a swift and merciful end.
