| Linux for writers with Attention Deficit Disorder BigRigs 06:00:04 |
| | Hi
Looking for help/volunteers with the following if you have linux
skills. I need to create a linux installation CD image with the
following requirements:
1. install and Runs one app only - OpenOffice Writer
2. No internet, email, chat, games - nothing else installed,
installable or able to install. No wireles etc.
3. Printer capababiliy to local or network printer. USB capability for
offline storage.
4. No ability to get around restrictions. i.e. should be built into the
install itself and not an admin setting. Should be an on a CD image
that is simply installed. The install should not have any other apps on
it or ways to modify settings.
5. No ability to modify any settings.
6. Should be able to install over windows for dual boot or as a single
install. However, the dual boot should run from windows multi-boot
settings. i.e. the computer should not start from GRUB.
The dual boot should of course include gparted to set a new partition
for installation over an existing windows partition.
Basically the requirement is to create a typewriter. When linux starts,
Office word starts, just like putting a piece of paper in a typewriter.
Any stable free version is okay. This will be redistributed free to
writers with ADD
Your thoughts...

Thomas was moved onto a neurological ward today, good news, it means he
is no longer classed as critical and I guess they will do more work
with him with regard to finding out what damage was done and trying to
wake him etc. His eyes moved a little today as well. How are things
with you? Whats Twittering One up to? "

Good luck with that, or have you guys already left?

You know, having those recipes really *does* help sell: was at an organic
market some time ago and the stall of the veg delivery people had samples
of their veg, some cooked recipes and recipe sheets... they signed up
quite a few new folks for a weekly veg box.

| The ADD'er as an Useless Turd; re-visited ... Raving Loonie 08:31:35 |
| | Many of those who have ADD spend and excessive amount of time being
imprisoned in the state of "Useless Turd-fullness".
Some have responded with comments such as ...
"Speak for yourself, Raving Loonie"
Others have struggled to explain that I am being an "Useless Turd" by
virtue of insisting that I am virtually, an 'Useless Turd'.
Surprisingly, it remains to be pointed out that the term "Useless Turd"
is an oxymoron.
Confused?
.. I was.

Psychologists, GuantГЎnamo, and Torture:
A Profession Struggles to Save Its Soul
by Stephen Soldz
August 03, 2006
http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=57&ItemID=10700
Online Petition against APA aka Koocher's Kooks policy
We, the Undersigned, endorse the following petition:
Against Psychologists' Participation in Interrogation of 'Enemy
Combatants'
Target: Gerald Koocher, President, American Psychological Association
Sponsor: Stephen Soldz, Member, Section 9, Division 39, American
Psychological AssocSignatures: 1,486
Please sign the following petition if you want to be among a group of
psychologists and APA members who unequivocally state opposition to the
participation of psychologists in the interrogation processes at
GuantГЎnamo and other similar facilities in which detainees are denied
the protection of either due process or Geneva Convention monitoring.
As a profession aimed at improving the human condition built upon a
respect for human dignity, we believe that our shared base of
psychological knowledge should not be used to further what is, at
minimum, abusive treatment and, at worst, torture. We call upon the
American Psychological Association to direct its members to desist from
participating in and consulting to interrogations at GuantГЎnamo and
similar facilities.
