weekly IRC reminder
by Adam Bower 10 Jul '01

10 Jul '01

Hi all, Could someone please now take over responsibility for the weekly IRC reminder as today was the last day that I could say for certain it would get sent. I did toy with the idea of leaving it running but didn't want to upset mjr when it went wrong :) and it may of died without warning when somebody finally noticed a cron job running from someone who left several months ago and had r00t on all of the boxen. Anyway the reason that I can no longer do the weekly reminder mail is that I resigned from my position with Zeus on Friday afternoon, and will not be returning to them in the future as was originally planned. Also if anyone knows of any short term contracts going in the East Anglia region (especially Norfolk) starting some time in August doing Unix/Linux type things then please drop me a line. I was originally planning to leave for an extended holiday in Australia about now but think I would rather be in a better financial position first. Of course I am now looking at a very relaxing July while I decide my next move though. Hopefully this means I will get to (finally) finish the FAQ now I am a man of leisure! Thanks Adam -- This message is Copyleft - all rights reversed Adam

apache question
by Jenny_Hopkins＠toby-churchill.com 10 Jul '01

10 Jul '01

Hi all, I've got apache root set as /home/jenny/cwp and in there have an index.html file and a stylesheet.css file and a jpeg file. The index.html file has a link to the css file for formatting, and also contains the jpeg. When I view the file through my samba share, it opens up using the correct formatting and with the jpeg displayed. I've created a shortcut on the windows desktop, target "C: \WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE http://trx850/" This opens up the index page in cwp ok, but index.html hasn't been formatted as per the stylesheet and the jpeg image isn't showing. I've done a chmod but no luck. Should there be an application for css files in mime types? jpeg is in there. Thanks, jenny-ergates.

3 Button mouse
by John Seago 09 Jul '01

09 Jul '01

I have installed Red hat 7.1, when I made the install I had, (and still have a two button mouse), which the install regarded as emulating a three button mouse. If I buy a three button mouse and plug it in will the system recognise as a three button mouse or have I got to do something arcane to get it to work? My two button mouse make s three commands, (left=L right =R L&R =M), L-1 LL-2 R-3 How many does a three button make? It appears to me that it should makethe following: L-1 LL-2 M-3 R-4 (this much would appear to follow the two button, but does the following apply?) L+M-5 R+M-6 R+L-7 L+M+R-8 and probably other combinations which you can work out for yourself. There used to be in the 1970's, in the magazines which came with the Observer and the Sunday Times, adverts for electric speedwriters which, by using five buttons, one for each digit , used in combinations which it was stated were easy to learn, enabled one to type at hitherto unobtainable speeds. couldthe same principal be applied to the commands that could be made with a three button Mouse?

Jo, Jen, Mark, BJ, Earl, Neill, adam, fozzy what sundays in august can all 8 of you make? I am trying to get martlesham scout hut for a sunday in august. once we conclude the meet there is a nice big green with a pub so I was going to suggest we get a couple of disposable BBQ's and have a nice social. We could even move the meet to say 1-5 so we get some more time. Also the scout hut will cost to hire, so as well as a small contribution from people coming I will raffle off a T-shirt and book from O'reilly. Also I was thinkning of inviting Lonix as our guests? We could combine this as a bit of a birthday bash for LUGITES[1], adam - 15th, me 31st, Jo - 1/9, jen 17 or 18 /9, et al.. Thanks D [1] Fantastic term Earl. ===== -------------------- "We all know Linux is great... it does infinite loops in 5 seconds."

FOOD
by David Freeman 09 Jul '01

09 Jul '01

list, For the afor mentioned BBQ idea to go ahead we need some participation from members, we need people to offer to do the cooking and also people to volunteer food and maybe disposable BBQ's. Both jobs are very simple and wont entail much effort, I think cooking can be a sort of collective thing but we will need someone to start off the food etc... Then we need the food, now if with some coordination a few people each bring small individual items we could get a nice collection toegether and share food as well as source[pun intended]. Anyway enough of my ramblings, CU on IRC Thanks D - Akula, FlameBait, Carpel. ===== -------------------- "We all know Linux is great... it does infinite loops in 5 seconds."
