Comment on Religious Crap in Geocaches by Sal

Wes,
Placing a bible in a cache is advertising a religion. Why someone would place a bible in a cache that will more than likely get waterlogged is beyond me. However, I always trade out religious items and then promptly toss them in the garbage where they belong.

“If you don’t want your items thrown out, don’t leave them in a cache.”

Umm, speaking of rules, the rules are trade items, not remove/destroy if you just don’t like it. Aside from adult material or anything causing damage (e.g. a soggy bar of soap) you should not be removing books without trading something even.

Regarding religious ‘crap’, well there’s no rules saying you can’t trade such items, it’s the cache page that has such rules – can’t advertise commercial or religious activities.

I wouldn’t call myself religious but I was brought up Christian.

I hate finding business cards, religious symbols or any similar subject matter. Rules do not matter to some people. I have come to expect the game played by various rules such as one account logging caches multiple times because not only does Mom and Dad have to log the cache but the kids have to log the cache as well.

The way I handle it, I review caches and remove business cards and the like. If there is a bible in there, sorry, it gets thrown out. If you don’t want your items thrown out, don’t leave them in a cache.

Comment on Using PrivatVPN on Ubuntu Linux by Wes

@deadbeef

So a few questions:

Did you follow install instructions as per the tutorial provided by PrivatVPN first?
Did you install OpenVPN? I’m assuming that because it didn’t recognise the conf file, that this might be the problem.
Did you run install.sh from the command line, and did you run it as root?
What happens if you try the following command:

sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/privatvpn.conf

Check the contents of the conf file. It should be laid out as follows:

client
remote [ip address] [port]
dev tap
proto udp
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca /etc/openvpn/ca.crt
auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/privatvpn.login
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 3

Let me know the results from checking the above.

Your tutorial doesn’t work. Using Ubuntu 10.04.

When importing it said:

The file ‘privatvpn.conf’ could not be read or does not contain recognized VPN connection information

Error: unknown error.

Hey man! thanks for the kudos glad it worked for others! I had to figure it out because everywhere I looked people had hack job solutions that I did not trust and I always try and share the knowledge! the world works better when everyone is more humble. well have a great one!

Comment on Street Angels and Pastors on Twitter by Wes

Our Street Angels are independent and run by Watford Chaplaincy. All the volunteers are Christians and this would be considered a prerequisite (subject to UK law, I guess).

Hi
I am the social media admin guy for Lincoln SPs. I run the Twitter account (@LnStreetPastors) and their FB page (Lincoln Street Pastors). Joy Liddle is our Coordinator (07504 511119). I think the real difference between Pastors and Angels are:
(1) Pastors are a franchise operation run by Ascension Trust, hence a funding implication
(2) Pastors have Christians whereas Angels can take on most people as long as they understand the focus.
Plse correct me if I am wrong here.

Comment on 3rd Times a Charm… Linux, Wifi and Samsung N210 by sdiddy

Glad I came across your posts and realised I’m not the only one with this problem… I’ve been tearing my hair out! I have a Samsung N220 and have been trying all the suggested fixes for the dodgy wireless, but don’t seem to be getting a stable solution.

Just to confirm my problem is similar/same to other poor sods with the Realtek wireless adapter: I can connect to WiFi ok, but after a random amount of time WiFi just stops working. It still shows as being connected in WiCD, but its like the connection is just gone ie. I can’t nslookup any domain, either through my router DNS or even Google Public nameservers.

Is this the same problem you’ve described in your posts?
