- ajay on jsl’s “e:strip and open-source” GPL-licensed software can't be sold for profit; you can only charge enough to cover "reasonable" distribution costs. So, charging $10 for a Linux CD is OK; charging $1000 for a liveCD is a no-no. GPL also says that if you make a derivative…
- joshua on jsl’s “e:strip and open-source” Paul has usually been protective of his project and related tech that he has developed - I don't believe that he necessarily follows the same exact open source software ethic that you ascribe to, but I could be wrong. AFAIK Paul values the…
- jsl on jsl’s “remodeling our disgusting apartment” Thanks Paul - I was thinking about bringing it myself at some point. But I knew that we would have lots of trash. I don't know how many tons it was yet - I guess I'll find out when they charge me - but I'm sure that it was over the three t…
- jsl on jsl’s “Buffalo Community Wireless Network” Currently we're still in the planning stages of setting up a CWN, and I wanted to post here to see what people are interested in setting up. The only thing that we have established is that whatever we use has to be open-source (i.e., no Ci…
- zobar on jsl’s “Buffalo Community Wireless Network” What kind of antenna & protocol do you guys use, and what's the approximate range of each antenna? What kind of existing network infrastructure are you recommending, and what kind of investment (equipment, time) is involved? What would I n…
- paul on jsl’s “remodeling our disgusting apartment” Since we bought our house we have removed about 3 tons of garbage. I know this because they weigh it at the transfer station we brought it to. The first 2 tons are free for tax payers. I know you already have a dumpster but it might be che…
- paul on jsl’s “remodeling our disgusting apartment” Sounds like a nightmare. Good luck.
- imk2 on jsl’s “hey e-strippers!” Welcome!
- fellyconnelly on jsl’s “hey e-strippers!” wow. thats a whole lotta demolition action. welcome
- paul on jsl’s “hey e-strippers!” Why are you taking all the walls down? Are you putting up drywall instead of plaster?
- paul on jsl’s “hey e-strippers!” I fixed the video for you. You only need the video ID between the youtube tags. estrip strips out html for security reasons.

- jsl on paul’s “The more glamorous days of buffalo” I have a pile in the basement and it is mostly BX (metal-clad copper) cable. I called some places in the yellow pages under "metal recycling" and they will pay for it by weight, and strip it for you, too. Metalico (127 Filmore Ave, 823-378…
- jsl on paul’s “The more glamorous days of buffalo” Make sure you recycle the copper wire, that stuff is worth a lot!
- jsl on jim’s “Urban Roots” Cool... I just ran into a woman I know who is on the board of directors at Urban Roots. I didn't even know that they were starting a co-op. I'll have to stop by and do shopping for the garden behind my house there. Thanks for posting this!
- jsl on paul’s “e:strip's future after the thesis” I wrote a long-winded comment about this here: http://www.estrip.org/articles/jsl/39452.html Better late than never? :)
- jsl on joshua’s “Software Question” Lots of software built for linux will run on XP, using the API in cygwin. The pdftk link mentioned in this page is good, I've used it. However I don't know if there is a graphical interface, if you need that. It should be easy to script, a…
- jsl on theecarey’s “estrip.org” I have had problems with firefox the last couple of days, too. Finally I used "yum" (the program manager on Fedora linux) to uninstall and re-install it, but the problem continued. Then I looked at my keyboard and realized that certain key…
- jsl on paul’s “The worst dining experience ever” Cheesecake Factory sounds pretty lame. In general I try to stay away from restaurants in malls. There are too many non-chain restaurants to enjoy that the chain places aren't worth it. I also heard somewhere that the amount of calories in …
- jsl on paul’s “American Express Commercial” The joys of consumer culture... rack up a huge debt while burning tons of jet fuel. Typical, and disturbing. :(
- jsl on paul’s “Niagara Cafe” Niagara Cafe is great, we go there quite frequently. I didn't notice the "red and yellow" color theme in their food, but I'll have to go back to check it out. :)
- jsl on zobar’s “early adopters?” I love the idea! It took about 30 seconds to start playing on firefox/linux here but sounds fantastic now. It's playing DMP - Wildfire. Is this a local band? Can you link to their web site from the player page? If we get a community wirele…
- jsl on drew’s “Coming soon . . .” Good luck on your move! I just noticed that you said you'd be moving in May... hope you found a satisfactory place, and let us know how it works out.
- jsl on jim’s “Before” Looks great! Seems from the pictures that it will require less work than my house which I just blogged about on this site! If you need a sledgehammer, though, let me know. ;)
- jsl on zobar’s “perverse” Sounds like a cool project! It would be neat to have this as a plugin on estrip.org. carolinian, have you tried using the Gimp with the X11 program in Mac OS X? It's a really cool open-source image editor that I use all the time on Linux.

- jsl on news’s “Site Concerns” Sorry about responding to such an old post but I was wondering if you had done anything about this. I'm part of a hosting cooperative called HCoop (http://www.hcoop.net) and we offer cheap hosting for members. We're not accepting new membe…
- jsl on paul’s “Tops On Elmwood” Porch looks great, congratulations! And isn't Hilti a power tool company? Must be something I can't afford because I don't have any! :(
- jsl on imk2’s “happyness and laziness and violins” Wow, I would be scared to touch that violin. I can't imagine how much it's worth.
- jsl on news’s “Buffalo Wireless Org” Buffalo Wireless map URL Sorry, the URL for the Buffalo Community Wireless Project map is wrong in the previous comment. It is: http://map.buffalowireless.org/
- jsl on news’s “Buffalo Wireless Org” Thanks for posting this email to the site! I set up the initial site at http://www.buffalowireless.org and have received a very enthusiastic response so far, with about 11 people on our list serve in under a week. We've also got five possi…
