The only caveat is that I'll need a receipt back for whatever is 
purchased.  I'm also happy to have someone accompany me to my local 
Costco (near Lakeside, Essex) where the money will go quite a bit 
further than a regular supermarket.  Only problem there is then someone 
will need to transport the stuff up to Cambridge, alas it's unlikely 
I'll be able to go myself.

Don't mean to embarrass you Enrico but... :)

Manchester Free software's next meeting will be on Tuesday 18th August 2009.

Talk
------
This month?s talk will be given by Debian Developer, Enrico Zini.

In his own words:

"I like to tell stories and I have stories to tell. I will start
covering the recent Debian Conference in C?ceres (Extremadura, Spain),
and from there I will continue with stories about Debian, and about how
Debian is being used in interesting ways."

Enrico can be found online at http://www.enricozini.org/

Location
----------
The meeting will take place at the usual time, 7pm, at the Lass O'
Gowrie pub on Charles Street in Central Manchester. We will be located
in the Salmon Room upstairs, although there will be people around a 
little earlier downstairs(probably sampling the food and drinks on 
offer). Just ask at the bar if you can't find us. Their website[1] has 
full details of how to get there and the fine selection of food and 
drink available. The venue also provides wifi.

General information about Manchester Free Software meetings can be
found on our website[2].

I've tried pointing my new amd64 machine to http://ftp.uk.debian.org/,
simply copying the apt/sources.list file from my older i386 machine,
but for some reason, I keep getting 404 errors when apt-get tries to
download the Packages or Sources files.  I can read them quite happily
using links or the like; does anyone have any ideas what might be
wrong?  My setup works perfectly when I replace ftp.uk.debian.org with
plain old ftp.debian.org.

Thanks!

You ran "apt-get update"?

You should be using "aptitude" these days (but that won't fix it).

Debian UK is normally "non technical", but I dare say if you put the
sources.list and the output of "apt-get update" on a website and post a
link someone will tell you what is wrong. Although you might get a
quicker response in the Debian IRC channel.

FWIW ftp.uk.debian.org is working fine from here.

Just tried it from one of my AMD64s and works fine for me too.

The relevant sources.list line is very straight forward:

  deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main

Is there any chance you've got some sort of "clever" caching proxy
between you and the world?

I'd check the contents of /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*
for anything that might make apt behave differently to your browser.
Then there's the $http_proxy environment variable, and finally the proxy
settings of the browser.

Cheers, Phil.

I know - it turns out it's my bad - I had:
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/ testing main
instead of
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ testing main

Ooops, problem solved!

Subject: [Debian-uk] Entropy Key availability at BBQ
Message-ID: <20090817145946.GB20965@digital-scurf.org>

Hi guys,

Sorry for the commercial nature of this mail but several people wanted to know
about Simtec Entropy Keys and their availability at the BBQ in Cambridge this
year, and this seemed like the sanest way to get the info out.

Some of you will already know about the Entropy Key and that pricing went up on
the website[1] today for retail packs to be available early September.

As a special thank-you to Debian (Simtec use Debian a lot, and also a bunch of
people helped us at the Debcamp this year) I have managed to wrangle a rate for
Entropy Keys at the BBQ which is even better than the five-off pricing which
the retail packs will be available in.

If anyone is going to the BBQ and definitely wants an Entropy Key, please email
ekey at sitmec.co.uk and tell us how many you want us to bring along for you.
Each packaged Entropy Key will be 35UKP incl. VAT.  I had previously suggested
they'd be around 40UKP so I suggest if you were primed for that, you consider
donating the other fiver to the beer fund at the weekend.

Proper VAT invoices will be available for those who need them. These will not
be cut-down packs in any way -- they're just available for early adopters.

I look forward to seeing you all at the BBQ.

Thanks,

Daniel.

Sorry, I can't type.

The email address should be ekey at simtec.co.uk

For anyone that (like myself) occasionally wastes their time trying
to persuade UK government to buy Free Software, there's a new forum
been setup: 

  http://ukgovoss.org/

I've no idea if this will come to anything, but I doubt it does any harm
to sign up.  I've set up a Debian group just in case there's a need for
such a thing, so if you do sign up, you should probably join that too.

Sadly, its admins have reacted to the first serious spammer attack on
it by installing the disability-discriminating reCaptcha bug on it.
So if you have eyesight and hearing problems, get ready to be told
that you're not human! :-(

I think ukgovoss is still probably a "wait and see how it turns out".
I feel it would be more damaging to have a defective FOSS poster-child
than to have a failed website.

The audio puzzle was enabled, but there's two problems with that:

1. a higher proportion of the population has impaired hearing 
(9 million in England, NHS) than some impaired vision (2 million
in the UK, RNIB) and there's a non-zero overlap;

2. ISTR that able-bodied humans have a 40% failure rate at the
recaptcha audio test, but I can't find the link for that just now.

and in any case, offering the audio puzzle doesn't excuse the
"We need to make sure you're a human" insulting text.

Essentially, reCaptcha is still the design flaw of using unrelated
disability testing instead of testing for spamming inclination of a
not-yet-registered user, or whether a registered user is trying to
spam.  It's the internet equivalent of putting up a "no cripples"
sign because you think they're con artists.

The site owner has emailed to say they'll test an alternative.
We'll see.

Recapthca comes with an audio plugin for such cases. I'm sure if it's
not enabled by default a polite word could be had with the admins..

I joined last night, looks interesting although I'll remain giving
full judgement until there's more content if/when that happens

Quick reminder, since some people have expressed an interest but not made firm
orders.  We're actually manufacturing between now and next Wednesday; so if we
don't have your order by Wednesday mid-day then I won't have them for you
unless I get lucky and get spares.

Thanks,

Daniel.
