Re: Yahoo! toolbar for Firefox
by Brian Kelsay 11 Feb '05

Too quick to send it, here is the software link. http://toolbar.yahoo.com/firefox Brian Kelsay >>> "Brian Kelsay" <> 02/11/05 09:47AM >>> http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=582&e=3&u=/nm/20050210/wr_n… While we Linux users may not choose to use it, the average PC user may. This shows the growing acceptance of the Firefox browser. Maybe that is why Google hired the Firefox programmer recently, not for a Google branded browser, but for a toolbar and to support his continued Firefox programming...

Server Fundraiser
by Bill Cavalieri 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

The KCLUG's server is in the process of losing its hard drive. Friday night, the faulty drive will be replaced. We are all lucky in that this was caught early enough, no data will be lost. To reduce our risk of next times failure, we would like to raise enough funds ($275) to purchase at least a 2 port 3ware controller, and a couple sata drives (>= 80's) for mirroring. Also, the server has 512mb's of ram. While this has been plenty, anyone with spare pc133 registered sdram, would not be turned down :) I'd like to do this sometime next month, hopefully giving anyone who can, enough time to budget some monies. I'll start by throwing in $50. Thanks, -Bill Cavalieri

Bill, can you accept mailed checks for this at your Lumen Software address? Maybe have them make check out to you with a memo of Server Fundraiser and a notation on the outer envelope. This isn't set in stone yet guys, let Bill answer yay or nay first. If not Bill's address then I recommend Chris Bier. Those two are more hands on with the server than most others and I trust them. Hal is too busy right now from what I gather and so am I. Brian Kelsay >>> Garrett Goebel <> 02/11/05 09:02AM >>> Bill Cavalieri wrote: > > I'll start by throwing in $50. I'll match that $50.

For those of us living on the fringe who don't make it to meetings, an address and the name of someone to make a check out to would be handy. I'll check through my stockpiles of RAM and see if I've got any registered PC133 sticks laying around too. -- Dave Hull http://insipid.com ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Dave Hull http://insipid.com

Pass the hat on Tuesday at our next regular meeting. I'll bring some cash. Bill, Hal or Chris Bier should be the collectors.

I meant which is the most powerful and fastest in the context of being able to create huge amounts of code in the least amount of time and actual typing/clicking (i.e. RAD). And no vi in any of it's incantations doesn't qualify as a RAD tool. Creating web pages is inherently about creating large amounts of text. I'm looking for ways to cut down on the required amount of text (Think Visual Studio.Net, only better). Not all of us can type 5000 words a minute. I've used Bluefish and Quanta and I like them both. The Zend-Studio looks very much like the direction I want to go. I don't really need .Net drag-n-drop, but if I'm doing something like creating several pages accessing different portions of a database, then having code-snippets that I can select and drop in and customize makes life a lot easier and coding faster. Not to mention reducing the risk of typos. So I guess to expand on my question does Blue-fish or Quanta allow you to add items that would insert code-snippets and where do you like to go to get already been written code snippets? Brian D

First, I think your > objection is bogus, Well, not quite what I was saying, but those modelines can get to be a pain. I was complaining about the selection of resolutions defaulting to 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768. I'd like to tell the install program to drop the first two. And stop raining on my parade by showing solutions. It's hard enough to find anything to rant about on Linux today, as it is, without educated users pointing out solutions. ;') I'll have to look for the button you're talking about. What would be really nice to go along with the screen resize is to change the virtual desktop at the same time, so that you don't have to scroll to find menus and apps, and etc. I'm not sure who ever thought it would be neat to have a virtual desktop that is bigger than your screen... oh ... wait ... that's what the original post was about. ;') But then, at Least with Xinerama you don't need to scroll to see the whole desktop. I find scrolling the desktop to see my apps, well, bothersome. Brian

by Gerald Combs 10 Feb '05

Is there any way within bash to display an ellipsis character in xterm, PuTTY, or other terminals in common use?
