To allow external email users to send emails to a Google Group in G Suite, follow these steps:
@gmail.com).This tutorial will demonstrate how to create a Listserv using L-Soft’s Listserv Lite. Once created the subscribers will be added through bulk operations. When done the list will be depopulated and removed from the server.
Step 1: Login to your account.
Using your provided account, log into the server to find the default dashboard screen.
Step 2: Create a new listserv
Click the “List Creation” option in the left menu. In the blanks provided enter the name of the Listserv and its title. In this case I used the same info for both. Next, tick the “Create with Wizard” radio button and then click “Next”.
Step 3: Specify the list owner and type of list
Enter the email address for the list owner then select what type of list you want to create, Announcement List, Unmoderated Discussion List, or Moderated Discussion List then click “Next”.
Step 4: Select list options
Choose your desired options from the five areas shown, designating how subscriptions are made and who can send email to the listserv. You can choose whether the list owner will receive email notifications for activities on the list and whether to allow attachments or not. The last option controls who will be allowed to see the list archive. When options are selected, click “Next”.
Step 5: Accept archive options
You can customize the type and path for the list archives. I would suggest accepting the default options. Click “(Use Suggestion)” then click “Next”.
Step 6: Review and Create
Review the settings of the list and if all is acceptable, click “Create”.
Step 7: Handling replies
Determine how replies to the list will be handled. Click “List Management: from the left menu and verify you are working with the desired list. Next click “Distribution” and in the Reply to line, click the drop down in the middle column. You can choose whether replies will go to the sender, the list, or both. If you are creating an open discussion list, then replying to the list maybe appropriate. If you are creating a newsletter list, you may want replies to be returned to the original sender. Below this option is the “Subject Tag” option. You can add text here that will appear in the subject of each email from the list. Including a word in brackets like, [LIST] can help subscribers filter list email received.
Step 8: Create your import file
Once the list is created, you will want to add subscribers. You can just distribute subscribe and unsubscribe email options to your target audience, or you can manually add one user at a time. In this tutorial I’ll use the “Bulk Operations” option to import subscribers from a previously created text file. Listserv cannot import Excel or CSV files. The import file must be a tab delimited text file, with no header row. The format must be “email address” (TAB) “First Name” (TAB) “Last Name”. The names are optional. If not present or if only one name is present, the subscriber will be added without name information. You can use Excel to manipulate lists of people and then generate the final output as a text files like shown below.
Step 9: Import subscribers step 1
If you have your text file ready to go, click “Subscriber Options” from the left menu and then click the linked text “(Bulk Operations)”.
Step 10: Import subscribers step 2
In the new focused window, tick the radio button to add the imported addresses to the list. Next, click the “Choose File” button and navigate to your text file. Next, click the “Import” button.
Step 11: Remove subscribers
You can remove subscribers using the same text file you used to import. In the image below, in the grey area you can see the subscribers imported to the list in the previous step. Now, by selecting the same “Bulk Operations” link, you can tick the button to remove the imported addresses and choose the same file you used before. Click the somewhat less than intuitive “Import” button. The subscribers will be removed.
Step 12: List deletion step 1
Click “List Deletion” from the left menu . Using the drop down, select the list you wish to delete and then click “Update”.
Step 13: List deletion step 2
Read the warning and if you are sure you wish to delete the list, click the “Confirm” button.
While many other options are available for managing listservs, the options described above will handle much of the day-to-day needs for the organization.

Use ctrl-shift-u followed by the unicode character code in gedit, firefox, gnome-terminal, etc. Leading 0s (after the ctrl-shift-u) can be omitted. Works in webapps like Evernote as well.

I’ve been modifying the formatting.php file to change how WP reformats text in pages and posts.
As of WP 3.3, the edits need to be made at lines 56 and 57. The static characters are the same but the replacement strings are longer.
The array elements are highlighted red below.
$static_characters = array_merge( array(‘—‘, ‘ — ‘, ‘–‘, ‘ – ‘, ‘xn–’, ‘…’, ‘“’, ‘\’\”, ‘ ™’), $cockney );
$static_replacements = array_merge( array($em_dash, ‘ ‘ . $em_dash . ‘ ‘, $en_dash, ‘ ‘ . $en_dash . ‘ ‘, ‘xn--‘, ‘…’, $opening_quote, $closing_quote, ‘ ™’), $cockneyreplace );
Recently, we had the need to resize some 8-bit greyscale tif images so that they took less space on disk. I had problems doing this since the app that wrote them in the first place used an old jpeg compression routine which was not compiled into the Ubuntu 10.10 tiff libraries.
I ended up installing the following in order on a Centos 5.5 VM. These were the latest releases as of this post.
jpg-8c (from www.ijg.org)
./configure –prefix=/usr –infodir=/usr/share/info –mandir=/usr/share/man
tiff-3.9.5 (from www.libtiff.org)
./configure –prefix=/usr –infodir=/usr/share/info –mandir=/usr/share/man –enable-jpeg –enable-old-jpeg
ImageMagick-6.7.0-9 (from www.imagemagick.org)
./configure –prefix=/usr –infodir=/usr/share/info –mandir=/usr/share/man
Once done, I finally found the best way to change the compression without ballooning the resulting file was to use:
convert 4527222.img -colorspace gray +dither -colors 8 -normalize -quality 75% 4527222.tif
( in this example, +dither actually disables dithering, -colors sets the palette to 8 bit and -quality sets jpeg compression to 75%)
This makes the file slightly smaller than the original, so to reduce it further, I used the downsize script from fwmconcepts
./downsize -s 100 4527222.tif 4527222-resize100.tif
You get fatal compile errors making all in Banshee.Dap.AppleDevice without libgpod 0.7.95 or newer.

Banshee 1.5.2 compiled from source code on Ubuntu 9.10 worked flawlessly until a system update around the end of November. From that point on, it locks up randomly when in shuffle mode.
So far I haven’t found out exactly why, and have worked around the issue by killing off the old banshee process and restarting:
kill -9 `pidof banshee-1`
Not elegant but it works…
The Java used by Tomcat is not in the user path in CentOS 5.3. The only time this has been a problem is when I need to create war files for the Web Interface and PN Agent from a new release from Citrix.
Rather than change the environment, I just provide the full path to java when creating the archives:
/usr/java/latest/bin/java -jar WebInterface.jar
Compiled and ran this to mixed results.
Seems to allow playlist ordering, but only for imported playlists. Also playlist order was not preserved on import.
The biggest problem was an unhandled exception that caused Banshee to exit as soon as the exception was confirmed.
Happened even after deleting /usr/lib/banshee-1 and ~/.config/banshee-1
