Subject: [HUMBUG] Next Meeting - 9th October 2004
The Home Unix Machine Brisbane Users Group exists to get fellow
Unix users in contact with each other, to introduce people to
Unix and Unix-like operating systems, and to help users in
operating those systems. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Meetings tend to be informal. We socialize, discuss Unix and
computing, solve Unix problems for new and experienced users
alike and, these days, have regular talks.
Date: Saturday, 9th October 2004 (every second Saturday)
Time: From 3pm with the network up 30 minutes after we are
granted entry. The network will be brought down after
midnight to allow time to clean up for a 1am exit.
Venue: Room S201, Hawken Engineering Building (no. 50)
The University of Queensland, St Lucia Campus
Car parking is currently unregulated on Saturdays. The
University is serviced by public transport with frequent

Hello,
the TuxMobil News digest for September 2004[1] has good news
for Linux PDA, mobile phone, laptop and notebook users. Here is an
extract of the most important or most interesting messages.
If you are missing news, applications or documents, don't
hesitate to contact me.

|=| Finally the first driver for SD/MMC card creaders[2] based on the
Winbond's W83L518D and W83L519D chipset is available. It works
for the Acer Aspire 1501 LMi and the HP/Compaq NX7010. But there
are probably more laptops and notebooks supported. Just try the
driver to find out. And don't forget to notify Pierre Ossman the
author of the driver, so that he may update the compatibility
list. The new issue 3.15 of the Linux-Mobile-Guide[3] now contains
a chapter about how to use built-in SD/MMC card readers
in Linux laptops and notebooks.

Subject: bogofilter-0.92.7 - new current release
Bogofilter is a mail filter that classifies email as spam or ham
(non-spam) by a statistical analysis of the message's header and content
(body). The program is able to learn from the user's classifications
and corrections.
The statistical technique is known as the Bayesian technique and its use
for spam was described by Paul Graham in his article "A Plan For Spam".
Gary Robinson, in his weblog Rants, suggests some refinements for
improved discrimination between spam and ham. Bogofilter's primary
algorithm uses the f(w) parameter and the Fisher inverse chi-square
technique that he describes.
Bogofilter is run by an MDA script to classify an incoming message as
spam or ham (using wordlists stored by BerkeleyDB). Bogofilter provides
processing for plain text and html, supports multi-part mime message
with decoding of base64, quoted-printable, and uuencoded text and
ignores attachments, such as images.
Bogofilter is written in C. Supported platforms: Linux, FreeBSD,
Solaris, OS X, HP-UX, AIX, RISC-OS, OS/2, ...
******* ******* ******* ******* *******
A variety of small fixes have been made to bogofilter and bogotune and
to their documentation.
Files are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/bogofilter for
download.
