Without guidance, this is usually impossible. Therefore, lowe my biggest thanks to Peter and Laura Yorke of Ra Horakhty Temple, who provided my first exposure to self-initiation techniques in the Golden Dawn. Their years of expe­ rience with the Golden Dawn material yielded a structure of carefully selected ex­ ercises, which their students still use today to bring about a gradual transformation. WIthout such well-prescribed use of the Golden Dawn's techniques, it would have been difficult to make progress in its grade system. The basic structure of the course in this book is built on a foundation of the Golden Dawn's elemental grade system as my teachers passed it on. In particular, it develops further their choice to use the color correspondences of the Four Worlds, a piece of the original Golden Dawn system that very few occultists have recognized as an ini­ tiatory tool.

Most people’s favorite part is the “airs”: the puting Olympiad. jumping and rearing up (as in “Hi ho Silver, away!” from the Lone Ranger intro). Those horses were definitely coordinated, ever moreso considering they weigh in four digits. As horses go, they were excellent. <[email protected]> We hear a lot about excellence in our industry. You can hardly turn through a trade magazine without someone extolling the excellence of their product, their service, their record, or their management style. Entire books discuss excellence. I think it’s a desir- able quality. Of course, excellence is decidedly not perfection. Perfection is yet another step and is seen only rarely in our world. There are those who felt Michael Jordan’s basketball skills bordered on perfection; others admire Tiger Woods’s golfing performances. Let’s stick to excellence for this discussion – perfection is just really challenging in general. Personally, I like excellence. I thought Dan Klein’s talk from several years ago about the parallels between Blazon (a language for describing coats-of-arms) and Postscript was excellent. I think some of Mark Burgess’s thoughts on system administration are excel- lent, even though I think I disagree with a few of the others.

Introduction to Ubuntu Linux & Horde Webmail 1.1 Ubuntu Linux :Ubuntu is a computer operating system based on the Debian Linux distribution and distributed as free and open source software. It is named after the Southern African philosophy of Ubuntu ("humanity towards others"). Ubuntu is designed primarily for use on personal computers, although a server edition also exists. Ubuntu is sponsored by the UK-based company Canonical Ltd., owned by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth. Canonical generates revenue by selling technical support and services related to Ubuntu, while the operating system itself is entirely free of charge. The Ubuntu project is entirely committed to the principles of free software development; people are encouraged to use free software, improve it, and pass it on. Ubuntu is composed of many software packages, the vast majority of which are distributed under a free software license. The only exceptions are some proprietary hardware drivers. The main license used is the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) which, along with the GNU Lesser General Public License (GNU LGPL), explicitly declares that users are free to run, copy, distribute, study, change, develop and improve the software.

  • Haggle: Seamless Networking for Mobile Applications
    Haggle: Seamless Networking for Mobile Applications Jing Su12, James Scott15, Pan Hui134, Jon Crowcroft3, Eyal de Lara2 Christophe Diot4, Ashvin Goel2, Meng How Lim1, and Eben Upton1 1 Intel Research Cambridge 2 University of Toronto 3 Cambridge University 4 Thomson Abstract. This paper presents Haggle, an architecture for mobile devices that enables seamless network connectivity and application functionality in dynamic mobile environments. Current applications must contain significant network bind- ing and protocol logic, which makes them inflexible to the dynamic networking environments facing mobile devices. Haggle allows separating application logic from transport bindings so that applications can be communication agnostic. In- ternally, the Haggle framework provides a mechanism for late-binding interfaces, names, protocols, and resources for network communication. This separation allows applications to easily utilize multiple communication modes and methods across infrastructure and infrastructure-less environments. We provide a proto- type implementation of the Haggle framework and evaluate it by demonstrating support for two existing legacy applications, email and web browsing. Haggle makes it possible for these applications to seamlessly utilize mobile networking opportunities both with and without infrastructure. 1 Introduction Advances in computing technology have had a profound impact on the capabilities of portable devices such as smart-phones, notebooks, and personal digital assistants. To- day these devices provide a rich
