First, a little background about myself. I was a software engineer for 5 years where I got most of my experience in using Linux. I then went to dental school and have been a practicing dentist ever since. This “report” will be more focusing on my dental practice and how I started it up. Yes, there is the EHR software that I am working on but that is a whole other long story and maybe I’ll make a dedicated post about that later.
After coming up with a name I made the logo using the enso from Wikipedia and got the tooth itself from OpenMoji and modified them using Inkscape. Sharing the logo with other designers wasn’t really much of a problem except for one issue with Inkscape where it uses a non-standard “flow text” for the SVG file that doesn’t always show up in Illustrator or other SVG viewers. Once I used a different type of text, it would show up properly on other peoples’ computer. Most of the designers I worked with wanted either SVG, EPS or PNG in order to make the building signs.
My employees forget their password all the time. I also forget my own password every now and then. So I decided to go with keycards. The “right” way to do this is via Smarcards and GPG. But it isn’t trivial to get these readers/writers integrated with Kubuntu. So I ended up going with magnetic cards. I bought a MSR605/206 Magnetic Card Reader/Writer and a bunch of MSR90 card readers (which emulated a keyboard input). What I thought I could use was this simple python script to write to the cards. Apparently, the script doesn’t do the LRC checksums! So I had to write my own. So now my employees (and myself) have to swipe their card to login (and there is a separate swipe for decrypting the filesystem).
