I tried to find a Linux solution to automatically record scanner traffic, something like Scanner Recorder for Windows. It looks like I am not alone. Anyway, I figured it out.
This is how I did it under Ubuntu:
- Download xpvox here.
- Compile it (I had to install libforms and then change all instances of
#include "forms.h"to#include <X11/forms.h>). - Install speex.
- Make sure /dev/dsp0 exists (if not, mknod /dev/dsp0 c 14 3).
- Run
xpvox -ios | speexenc -V --rate 44100 - out.spx.
After you quit xpvox, you’ll find a file called out.spx which contains all recorded traffic, with silent bits cut out.
Dialogue with the Oxford Chiropractic Clinic
So, a few people have been contacting their local friendly chiropractors regarding the recent ASA ruling. I think Martin was the first; jdc325 and Tristan have also done their bit, the latter with remarkable success!
The ASA ruling states that the chiropractor could not “refer to the treatment of IBS, colic and learning difficulties” in his advertising. Now, it should be noted that the ASA do not regulate advertising on websites (but, randomly, they do on leaflets!) However, the General Chiropractic Council’s own Code of Practice states that chiropractors may “publicise their practices or permit another person to do so consistent with the law and the guidance issued by the Advertising Standards Authority.” My interpretation of the GCC guidelines is that they extend the ASA’s recommendations from advertising to all information published by GCC members.
