P.S. I like messages :-P

HKWNB, HKCOTW, Current events
Hi. Thanks for your contributions to some Hong Kong-related articles. You might be interested to take a look at HK wikipedians' notice board, HK Collaboration of the Week and Current events in Hong Kong and Macao. Happy editing! — Instantnood 06:35, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

Television broadcasting
Since you say that one of your interests is television broadcasting, if it isn't too much trouble for you could you look through some of the recent edits for. The user has been doing a few good edits (as far as I can tell), plus a bunch of nonsense edits (which I and others have been reverting). (Also: Thanks for fixing the tables at Eyewitness News—I know just enough about tables and CSS to be very dangerous.) Blank Verse  ∅  08:20, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I see that you've checked out Ronald20. Thank you. I've left a couple of notes at Vandalism in progress, including noting an IP that I think he is also using, but there seems to be no response from the admins there. I think I may end up having to ask a favor of one of the admins that I know to try and get Ronald20 blocked for awhile. It's such a waste of time doing all those reverts of nonsense. Blank Verse  ∅  13:50, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
 * No problem, glad to help. I'd like to see him get blocked too; it's really annoying to have to pick up after him. - Hinto 16:29, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

I saw that you are also cleaning up TV articles where an anon user is dumping a huge amount of background information for the station. I am also in the process of cleaning up such articles and would like to know what is the extent of these edits from your perspective. Thanks. Pentawing 20:55, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
 * That guy knows a lot about MANY stations, so it's kind of hard to track down his edits. But I'd begin with stations that were affected (even remotely) by the New World Communications, Westinghouse and Savvoy-Fox affiliation switches of the mid-1990s (eg. those in Atlanta, Birmingham and Dallas). He also seems very interested with stations that were formerly independent (eg. KSTW, KCPQ).

 * I think I've also tracked down several IPs that he uses, so of course it'd be easier to do it that way. But I don't know if it's appropriate to list them here. Hope I answered your question. :) - Hinto 23:30, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Template:Van-Vic TV
Hi...please don't file templates in article categories; it causes the articles that the template is on to be filed in the category as well. Mostly it's not a big deal, because the articles are already in the same category, but it is a problem when you get to KVOS, which doesn't belong in Category:Television stations in British Columbia. (Similarly, the Detroit TV template was once filed in Category:Television stations in Detroit and Category:Television stations in Canada; this caused all the Detroit stations to appear in the Canadian category.) I know other people do it, but it should actually be undone when you see it, rather than imitated. Bearcat 20:07, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads-up. (The case with KVOS completely escaped me.) - Hinto 23:30, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Akron Beacon Journal
Thanks for cleaning up some of the wording in the article and applying the Knight Ridder template. Sometimes when you write an article from scratch you smooth-over the grammar in your head as you think about what to add. Also, I didn't know about the KR template, so it was very helpful. Rkevins82 01:21, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

 * No problem, glad to help. I only found out about the KR template today anyway. :P - Hinto 01:36, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Channel 61
There are two things that can be done:
 * Create a new article entitled with the station's call letters and redirect.
 * Create a new article as above but put up Channel 61 for deletion.

In my opinion, I don't think this article can be made as a disambig. Pentawing 21:46, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Re: Network sorting
The reason I'm sorting these is because I think of sorting by W or K is like sorting a group of books beginning with "the" by the letter "T." Every book would begin with the same letter, just as every station in this case begins with "K" or "W." Some stations were already sorted this way in the regional categories, so I don't see why the national category can't be different. --User:Evice User talk:Evice Special:Contributions/Evice 01:10, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Wikimania 2006
In the course of informal discussions at Wikimania in Frankfurt the possibility of having Wikimania 2006 in Vancouver was raised. What makes Canada desirable for such a meeting is the capacity to draw delegates from the United States. For many overseas delegates, however, U.S. visa requirements make that country less attractive. All else being equal, Europeans see Vancouver as a more interesting Canadian city to visit than Toronto, the only other Canadian city to receive significant consideration.

Preliminary bids from various cities need to be made by Sept. 30, 2005. A short list will be drawn from those bids. Is there enough interest and energy to put together such a conference in Vancouver for August 2006? The people in Frankfurt put on a tremendous gathering, with a core organizational group of about a dozen people. Some 400 people attended from 52 different countries.

I expect that a North American Wikimania could be a little smaller, but we would still need a suitable facility. It would be good to know that such a facility is available for a conference; the type of youth hostel facility that was used in Frankfurt does not exist in North America. What would be the cost of hosting such a conference at UBC?

I'm looking for interest and commitment. To that end I am proposing a Vancouver meetup for Saturday, Sept. 24. If someone has a reasonably accesible place for such a meeting please let me know. (I live in Richmond, but something in the city of Vancouver would be more appropriate.)

I am spammiong this to all Vancouver area Wikipedians that I can find. Please reply to my talk page. Eclecticology 21:50:16, 2005-09-03 (UTC)

New York City Radio Stations
I wanted to ask if you could clean up the articles on most commercial New York City radio stations. I know that radio stations aren't really your forte, but these articles were apparently done by the same anon user that does many tv stations. And after seeing the good cleanup work that you've done on these tv stations, I was wondering if you could do the same for these radio stations. It should be noted that some stations have already been cleaned up to varying degrees, so you should check the history of these pages if you choose to edit. ErikNY 03:06, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Moving Hong Kong COA
It at least needs to be moved to Coat of Arms of Hong Kong to match every other state. But I havo no idea if it's emblem or coa. You could check Category:National coats of arms to get an idea of what people are doing with it. Renata3 23:48, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Vancouver City Hall
Thanks for cleaning up my mess at the Vancouver City Hall article. It needed it. I just wanted to throw some usefull information on there because when I first found the article it stated that "A statute of George Washington by Charles Marega is in front of the building."

Thanks for your nice editings! but do you think it'd be better to spread the pics into different sections? --K.C. Tang 02:56, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

TV Market
Hi, I have noticed that in the past you have edited or created a template for a television DMA (market) in North America, or have edited an articles about television stations. Currently their are several different styles of the template being used. Because of this i have set up a workshop to obtain input on setting up a common configuration for these templates. Feel free to assist at WikiProject Television Stations/markets. Also while you are their, feel free to leave you name as a participant on the WikiProject Television Stations as well as any comments you might have, to help wikipedia improve articles on television stations. If you know some one else who has helped contribute to these templates or you think would like to help, please pass this mesage on to them.--Boothy443 | trácht ar 06:42, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

You have received this message because you have edited a Salt Lake City media article in the past. We have recently had an edit war regarding the wording and inclusion of a paragraph on the KTVX article. In hopes of resolving this I have put together an informal survey. If you are interested, please stop by Talk:KTVX and add a vote. Thanks, A 09:05, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Des Voeux Road
I noticed your recent rearrangements to the Des Voeux Road article. The previous arrangement actually reflects they're three roads sharing part of their names, and that was the recent why materials on transport and history spanned across the three sections. After your edit the original arrangement was lost. I'm curious to know why would you think it's better to present transport and history of the different roads in the same section, separated from their own sections. Thanks. — Instantnood 18:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 *  Thanks. I've slightly modified the article, please take a look. — Instantnood 21:53, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Aberdeen Centre
Hi, I saw that you re-arranged the photos on the Aberdeen Centre page. I dunno about your browser, but the image re-positioning makes the Edit buttons mess up in Firefox. Does it mess up for your browser too? Also, I personally feel that having too many images together like that makes it look a little messy (although the pics can't be spread out much due to the article's size).

Deep Cove
Hello... noticed that you've moved the Deep Cove article. I've restored it to the original name pending discussion. The rationale being, the original title is more accurate and helps to avoid perpetuating the misconception that Deep Cove is a separate entity from the District of North Vancouver. (Also, I've come across a number of references to different "Deep Coves" in WikiPedia, and it's only a matter of time before they get Wiki'd.) Let's discuss, though - perhaps a more appropriate title would be Deep Cove (North Vancouver). --Ckatz 05:49, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Category:Streets in Toronto Renaming
Hi Hinto,

I have recently request to rename the category you had created earlier to Category:Roads in Toronto, in order to match back other styles used when roads are divided into municipalities (such as Category:Roads in York Region and Category:Roads in Simcoe County, et cetera)

Thank you, and happy editing

Pearl River Delta
Hi, in this edit to Pearl River Delta, you correctly removed a bunch of Chinese place names from the article. As shown in the first line of the diff, though, you also changed part of the IPA pronunciation code for the name from tɕy55 to tsy55. Was this intentional, or a typo?--Srleffler 23:09, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Ftv-luk1.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ftv-luk1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Bentall Centre
I am curious. You moved Bentall Centre (Vancouver) over a redirect to the shopping centre in the UK which shares the same name, without any discussion whatsoever. Your reason was that it was more notable. Enlighten me: without any discussion whatsoever, how did you determine that this was the general concencus? What reasons do you have for suggesting it's more notable? The<font color="Blue">Islander 23:28, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't particularly object to the move. After leaving the note above, I did a bit of Googling myself, and as you point out the centre in Vancouver returns more hits than that in Kingston. My initial reaction was because, in the UK, I'd definitely give the Bentall Centre in Kingston greater notability, but I wasn't particularly aware of the notability of the Vancouver centre outside the UK. The only thing I object to really is the fact that it was done so quickly - even leaving a quick note on the talk page a day before moving it would have been better, as it would have given some indication as to your intent. Also, had it been me, I'd have placed the dab notice on the Vancouver article immediately, so as not to give the impression of elevating the status of the Vancouver centre above that of the Kingston centre. Still, not many editors would have responded to my message above in such a detailed and polite manner, so I thank you for that ;). <font color="DarkGray">The<font color="Blue">Islander 00:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

See here. It states Highway 7 starts 300 m west of Coleman Avenue and ends 300m west of United Boulevard. Then begins 95 m east of Ottawa Street until the interchange with Highway 1 in Hope. <font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#CC6600;"> єmarsee •  Speak up!  23:56, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

With the death of Geocities coming soon, do you plan on moving your historical clips on Vancouver television to another host or to Youtube? It would be a shame if these clips weren't moved to another site. Thanks. <font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#CC6600;"> єmarsee •  Speak up!  20:34, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The death of GeoCities is in about less than two weeks from now. With your files still hosted on Geocities, they will disappear soon. I was wondering if I could have permission to host the files on Geocities on my Youtube account (with full attributions to you of course) until you can have the time to redo them in a higher quality. Thanks. <font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#CC6600;"> єmarsee •  Speak up!  04:51, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh crap. I realized I don't have the Broadcast One opens and close and the CityPulse 2003/04 open/closes. Half of the presentation site is already down. See here. Is there someway to get these files? Thanks. <font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#CC6600;"> єmarsee •  Speak up!  23:21, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I've complied a list of videos that I don't have from archived versions from archive.org. Unfortunately, the 3rd CKVU page wasn't archived and the two CIVI pages aren't archived fully, so I might have missed more. I counted 49 videos for CKVU (excluding the Global idents) and 20 for CIVI. Thanks.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Wbns-ewn-open.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Wbns-ewn-open.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Notodden Blues Festival

Notodden Blues Festival (NBF) is one of the largest blues music festivals in Europe and the largest in Scandinavia. The festival is held in Notodden, Norway, usually in early August. It has been running annually since 1988.

The festival does not aim to be the biggest of its type, but to become Europe's "largest blues experience", which is reflected in their emphasis on quality over quantity.

History
In 1988, thirteen local blues enthusiasts gave their personal guarantee to the bank and were granted a cash credit, and the first Notodden Blues Festival took place. The credit from the bank turned out to be unnecessary, and the festival soon became one of Norway's most popular music festivals. Today, the Notodden Blues Festival is the largest "pure" blues festival in Scandinavia, expanding from 2,000 sold tickets (NOK 200,000 gross ticket sales) to 24,500 sold tickets (NOK 12,000,000 gross ticket sales) in 17 years.

Organization
NBF is an ideal organization, where the General Assembly is the highest authority. Every year, the General Assembly elects a new board, consisting of one leader and six board members. The General Assembly provides the guidelines and financial frames wherein the Board can operate.

In 1992, NBF established the Notodden Blues Festival Foundation. The goal of this entity is to secure the financial costs needed to operate the festival. Presently, the "operation capital " controlled by the Foundation is NOK 900,000, which has been accumulated as a result of the economic success of previous festivals.

Youth seminars
Each year, young people between the ages of 14 and 18 are given the opportunity to be a part of the "New Generation of the Blues". Forty youths are chosen to participate in this seminar. Participants, though mostly from Norway, come from as far away as Mississippi, U.S.A. Professional instructors, with backgrounds ranging from studio, touring and television, guide the seminar's students through "one on one", as well as group classes. The seminar includes the disciplines of harmony, playing by ear, instrument/equipment maintenance and the "music business". The seminar is held over six days, starting on the Monday before the festival opening. During the course, each student is given the opportunity to work in the studio and a "studio quality" CD is produced afterwards for each of the participants. The seminar closes on Saturday with a concert performed by the seminar members. This concert is a part of the festival program and is attended by an audience of thousands.

Welcome to Wikipedia! Let me be the first to say it's an honor to have such an esteemed animal lover in our presence. What you've done for the image of wildebeests around the world is unprecedented! -- BRIAN 0918  22:16, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Welcome 2
Dear Dr. Stallman, welcome to Wikipedia! You may remember me from last year's speech in Athens. Wikinerd 11:00, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Disclaimer
Dr. Stallman, it's really an honor to have you here. I appologize, I think I may have been responsible in part for some of the errors in your article (especially the fellowships bit). Whether or not you feel personally offended, things like that make WP look bad, and I shouldn't have relied on my own memory. I'm an avid reader of your website, and I didn't mind the Harry Potter spoiler; I will be buying the US edition tonight, only because my sister preordered it and specifically asked me to do so. I am a proud and very pleased Gentoo GNU/Linux user. --Pakaran 14:47, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for everything
You are a freedom fighter. Thanks for everything. --WAS 4.250 09:26, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Text of the GNU Free Documentation License
Hello RMS. There is a discussion regarding the validity of Wikipedia's local copy of the GFDL here. Since you wrote the GFDL, I thought you would be an authority on this issue. The page has recently been modified so the section numbers match those of the original license text. Does this make it "close enough" or does it need to be identical, or should it just link to a plain text file? --pile0nadestalk 23:23, 27 July 2005 (UTC) Link to discussion on Jimbo Wales's talk page. --pile0nadestalk 04:00, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

A note
Hey. I notice you've been doing some work on Richard Stallman. While yours is definitely a bit of a "special case", I thought I'd still direct you to our guidelines on autobiography just in case. (Also note that they're just guidelines.) We are glad to have you with us; thank you for your contributions. -Fennec (はさばくのきつね) 14:00, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

"Copying" subsection in "Terminology"
We had a discussion in Talk:Richard Stallman (currently at the bottom, titled as above) and I thought maybe you can clarify your position on the word piracy and on sharing with one's neighbour. Rl 11:07, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I'll probably get shot for this, but I'd suggest it would be advisable for Stallman to publish these opinions somewhere and have another editor interpret them. If Stallman edits the article himself, he is almost certain to make small mistakes that cause it to be POV. I'm not criticising Stallman (not here, anyway) - this is an inherent feature of personalities. Rob Church Talk 12:38, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Caution
I make no secret of the fact that I am an avid Microsoft fan. But I would not like to see any editor with your... prestige... come up against one of our policies. Edits such as could be read as a touch POV; it's more the edit summary than the insult, but you get the idea. Might I urge caution? --Rob Church Talk 02:18, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

The edit is very short and very proper and anyone can see for themselves. I urge RMS to be bold - it's a Wikipedia guideline. WAS 4.250 16:29, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

This particular edit is definitely a small one, and it serves the Neutral Point of View Guideline, as it deletes Subjective materials. I don't see the point of this remark (I'm a GNU user, but for that time I'm feeling quite objective). Ppchailley 08:45, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Email blocking
The email address mentioned on your site,
 * rms at gnu.org

seems not to accept email unless it can identify the domain of where it is originating. Whilst I can understand that as a security feature of many email sites, as a precaution against unsolicited spam, it hadn't occurred to me that this particular destination would have that blockage. About a year ago I sent you an email from my private computer, using (guess what operating system!), and I sent it using sendmail. Only recently I noticed on some log that it had not been delivered because the destination site could not identify the originating domain. (Even though the "From" and "Reply-to" header fields did have a valid email address - that of an ISP.) It hadn't occurred to me that sendmail would have a problem in this case, because of your (and gnu in general) support for open source and open standards. Any way, that message I tried to send you was to ask if you had heard of an American political economist called Henry George? --Polsequ95 16:29, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I do not support "open source", and neither does the GNU Project.
 * See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy. As for the mail server's requirement, I suppose that is to reject some spam, but I am not an expert on such things.

 * Yes, I guess many people dont't really know the difference between "free software" and "open source". Richard, thank you for your involvement. There should be more people like you. God bless you. --134.155.99.42 07:12, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Lisp machines
I've been editing various Lisp machine-related articles (like Symbolics, Lisp Machines, Inc., Genera &etc.) lately, and I've been having an extraordinarily hard time finding any pictures of LMI machines, much less Freely licensed ones (indeed, the only even half-way decent one is Image:Lambda with drives.jpg... which is saying something); although there are plenty of Symbolics pictures, I want some LMI representation as well.

Anyways, since you were involved in that whole period, I thought you might know someone who had some pictures or even have some pictures yourself. (I'd also appreciate your checking over the articles as well. The online and offline sources are rather incestous or opinionated or just plain hard to get). --Maru (talk) Contribs 07:49, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikimania 2006
Hello, Mr. Dr. Stallman,

Should I be expecting to see you at Wikimania 2006 in Boston? If so, please drop me a line on my user talk page. Although we may personally disagree on some things, I think it would still be a very enjoyable experience to talk to you and discuss things revolving around open software.

Kind regards, Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 22:04, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Vovinam

Migrating Vovinam <-> Viet Vo Dao
As to the information I gained from talking to some Vovinam Masters Vovinam and Viet Vo Dao are NOT interchangable terms. The complete description actually is "Vovinam Viet Vo Dao". Vovinam is simply "Martial Art from Vietnam" ( Vo = MArtial Art, Vinam -> Vietnam ) Viet Vo Dao is the philosophy behind it. Dao = "the way" => The vietnamese way of learning / doing martial art

Also see the verry closely related vietnamese martial art "Binh Din"

As I wrote the german article on Vovinam I am willing to merge that article into the englisch article and the merge the german and english articles on Vovinam and Viet Vo Dao. Thomas

go ahead
go ahead -- Dangerous-Boy

OK. Translation done. Merging the old content into this new text will be done by me within the next days. Please read the new text and correct grammar and spelling. I am not a native english-speaker. - - Thomas 14:18, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Black Belt
An anonymous user added the following: "This rank is equal to Tae Kwon Do's black belt. A person who wears a yellow belt with one or more stripes are considered assistant masters."

This suggest that black belts can be compared across martial arts styles. Is a black in Kyushinkai Karate is as good as a black belt in Tae Kwon Do or vice versa ? In some martial art styles it surely is easyer, in some it is harder to achive a black belt. And a black belt in one style has learnt different things than a black belt in other styles.

Opinions anyone ???

--Thomas 20:30, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

 * My personal opinion is that in each martial article a mention of how long it typically takes to obtain the belt should be mentioned. That's the most "neutral" way of determining "rank" across systems: number of years typical to achieve yellow, black, whatever. C-Blade (talk) 07:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Link farm
Wikipedia is not meant to be a link farm and this article seems to be becoming one. Please consider this.Peter Rehse 00:24, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Missing References
When I rewrote this article I used allmost no linkable sources. I talked to various masters and instructors of the school I learn Vovinam at and of other Vovinam schools. I don't have any written documents I can link. So how do I reference my sources ?

Thomas 13:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Books (with the isbn linked) or newspaper articles (including date & page) would be good, the internal details don't need that much support at this stage, (getting it to good or featured article stage is an other matter) Something about history would be good, I've added tags where you might want to include something. Lack of documentation can be a problem with some things, but unless there are huge claims (instructor was special forces hereo.... etc) then it's unlikely anything will be removed. --Nate1481(t/c) 13:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem. There is a reference for you now. Vovinam belts Color System - page 61. The book: Vovinam-Việt Võ Đạo: The martial art, the history and culture of a people warriors.

Reverted PROD
Hi—this article was PRODed by User:Mdtemp with reason "non-notable martial art"; I've reverted the PROD. I agree that the article is sorely lacking in secondary sources and parts of it read like a promotional brochure, but even the cursory research I've done on the topic make it clear to me that Vovinam is historically significant and seems to have a considerable circle of practice both within Vietnam and abroad. I'll add some references to secondary sources and try to expand the article a little. --dragfyre_ ʞןɐʇ c 13:53, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Xming

Xming is an X11 display server for Microsoft Windows operating systems, including Windows XP and later.

Features
Xming provides the X Window System display server, a set of traditional sample X applications and tools, as well as a set of fonts. It features support of several languages and has Mesa 3D, OpenGL, and GLX 3D graphics extensions capabilities.

The Xming X server is based on Cygwin/X, the X.Org Server. It is cross-compiled on Linux with the MinGW compiler suite and the Pthreads-Win32 multi-threading library. Xming runs natively on Windows and does not need any third-party emulation software.

Xming may be used with implementations of Secure Shell (SSH) to securely forward X11 sessions from other computers. It supports PuTTY and ssh.exe, and comes with a version of PuTTY's plink.exe. The Xming project also offers a portable version of PuTTY. When SSH forwarding is not used, the local file Xn.hosts must be updated with host name or IP address of the remote machine where the GUI application is started.

The software has been recommended by authors of books on free software when a free X server is needed, and described as simple and easier to install though less configurable than other popular free choices like Cygwin/X.

Transition to proprietary license
Since May 2007, payment must be made to download new releases. Purchasing a license will allow the user access to new downloads for one year; however, MIT-licensed releases (referred to by the author as "public domain" releases) can still be downloaded with no payment on SourceForge.

Miguel Pate

Miguel Pate (born June 13, 1979 in St. Francisville, Louisiana) is an American track and field athlete. His speciality is the long jump, although during his high school and collegiate career he also competed in the triple jump, high jump, 100 m, 200 m, 4 × 100 m relay, and 4 × 400 m.

Biography
Miguel "Stay out them boxes" Pate attended West Feliciana High School in Louisiana from 1994 to 1997. After graduating West Feliciana High School he attended Meridian Junior College from 1997 until 1999 where he excelled in the triple jump and long jump and addition to playing on the basketball team his freshman year. His first year he had a personal best of 50 ft in the triple jump and 25 ft in the long jump. Pate finished fourth at the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Track and Field Championships in the long jump. The following year he won the NJCAA Championship in the triple jump and had a wind aided personal best of 52 ft.

The following year Pate transferred to the University of Alabama. At the University of Alabama Pate continued to improve under the tutelage of Rod Tiffin. At the University of Alabama Pate won the 2001 World University Games and was an All American several times while competing for the Alabama Crimson Tide. However, Miguel had not yet won an NCAA Championship.

In 2002 Pate had his breakout season. Pate turned down the opportunity to sign a professional track and field contract in order to finish his eligibility. Because Pate played basketball in the winter of his freshman year at Meridian Junior College he had eligibility to compete during the NCAA indoor track and field season. Miguel began his season with a jump of 27 ft and remained undefeated all season going into the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships. At the meet Pate jumped 28 ft and won the competition by nearly two feet; with this jump, Pate also became the NCAA Indoor Long Jump record holder. Only two people have ever jumped farther indoors in human history. Pate went on to win the NCAA Championship in the long jump and was runner up in the triple jump. In the spring Pate signed a professional contract with Nike.

As a professional Pate has had a rocky career. He began the spring of 2002 with several jumps over 27 ft. He was second at the USATF Outdoor Championships and finished the year ranked 2nd in the world. In 2003 Pate continued his success by winning the USATF Indoor Championship in the long jump. However, at a meet in Oregon in the spring Pate injured his knee, tearing his ACL, MCL as well as other ligaments, ending his season and putting his career in jeopardy. Pate tried to return to form in 2004 but only managed to jump 26 ft that year in limited action. In 2005 Pate showed the form he had before the injury by winning the USATF Outdoor Championship in the long jump over 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist Dwight Phillips with a leap of 27 ft. In 2006, Pate finished 3rd at the USATF Outdoor Championships with a jump of (7.96m/26-1.5) and had a season best jump at the Nike Prefontaine Classic (8.27m/27-1.75). Pate finished the year ranked 7th in the world (#2 in the U.S.) by T&FN. In 2007, Pate finished 2nd at the USATF Outdoor Championships (8.24m/27-0.5) and qualified for the World Outdoor Championships in Osaka, Japan where he placed 10th (7.94m/26-0.75). Pate finished the 2007 season ranked #3 in the U.S. by T&FN. In 2008, Pate finished 3rd at the USATF Outdoor Championships/Olympic Trials with a jump of (8.22/26-11.75) which qualified him for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

Personal bests

 * Long Jump  -   28 ft
 * Triple Jump -  54 ft

Like Shaking Hands with God

Like Shaking Hands With God is a book which consists of two conversations between Kurt Vonnegut and Lee Stringer with Ross Klavan as moderator and containing a foreword by Daniel Simon. It was published in 1999. The first conversation occurred on October 1, 1998, at a book store on Union Square in Manhattan, and the second occurred the following evening at a cafe.

Like Shaking Hands With God was meant to be a conversation about writing but turned into much more. As The Hartford Advocate said, it is "...a book that is more about being than writing." In Like Shaking Hands With God the authors touch on the subject of writing, how to write, how a writer should view his or her audience and what the ultimate goal of writing should be.
