 It's only my preferences though, which doesn't necessarily apply to how the rest of the world thinks at all. If you recall Jerry Maguire's "show me the money", as soon as I get to a website I'm thinking "show me the content". As a result, as you've probably noticed, when I make web pages they tend to be very texty, so hopefully they load pretty quickly, and you can quickly find whatever you're interested in.

     Bugger - it turns out Dijkstra has died. It's a shame, I rather liked the guy. Once sat next to him at a big lecture, with him constantly shouting "this is rubbish!" the whole way through. At the time I didn't know who he was, and wondered what gave him the right to be so rude to the lecturer. It was later that I discovered he'd invented the theory the lecturer was talking about. Probably justified then. I think as a tribute we should all implement Dijkstra's algorithm in some form over the weekend.

After uttering a long line of expletives he asked if I had an agreed value with the insurance company and then mentioned that they might write it off! Considering I paid 1800 for it, it is now worth (in the nice man's expert opinion) between 2500-3000 (aparently, it's in good nick) the damage will cost 2100! Bloody hell.

     You don't have to use perl to write cgi "scripts". Anything that you can compile into an executable will work too - you could use modula 2 if you were feeling particularly masochistic. Or C http://www.redmondlinux.com/cgi_in_c.html
    Graf <graf@altavista.net>
    - Tue Oct 15 20:37:14 2002

     Ahh, thanks all. However, when I tried to save the script in notepad, it made it name.pl.txt or name.cgi.txt. Blast. I'll try the programmer's Notepad. But I beg to differ. Notepad is the mutt's nuts.
    Travis
    - Tue Oct 15 19:19:30 2002

     Actually I take my previous comment back. I just "wrote" Notepad in under 30 seconds. You don't need to write a single line of code, AppWizard will generate absolutely everything for you. This is not the mark of a good piece of software.
    John
    - Tue Oct 15 17:53:46 2002

     Look you bunch of retards, there is nothing hardcore or cool about notepad. It's a windows edit control slapped into a single document AppWizard app. I could write it in approximately eight minutes. That does not make it in anyway good at all. As for Vi, even the Marquis de Sade would consider that a bit sick and twisted. Besides, Textpad and PN let you edit binary. That's far more hardcore and nerdy than notepad could ever manage.

    - Tue Oct 15 14:40:54 2002

     cgi is written in perl, which is plain text. I do all mine in notepad (I think the sad stick-in-the-muds here do too). Not sure about running a geocities account with perl. Sounds a bit unlikely.
    Rob Lang
    - Tue Oct 15 14:30:20 2002

     That was scary. I thought the whole site had been deleted - it stopped working for a bit, and the site root directory had disappeared when I FTPed in. In fact, it had bizarrely been moved into the wrong directory. I must have done it by mistake. Panic over.

    Rob Lang
    - Thu Oct 10 16:06:47 2002

     How does it work? I don't know, it just does. Actually, you just maintain an XML file on your site which gets updated automatically every time you add an entry. The XML file contains a few details about the site, and some of the content of the most recently posted entries. RSS clients like Feedreader basically just check this file periodically and notify you of updates... Or something like that.

     I think I mentioned it before, but if you go and download Feedreader or something similar, you can make use of the 'maisons RSS Feed. I'm not too sure what the point of it is, but it seems quite nice anyway. By the way, I moved the feed URL today so if anyone was using the old one it don't work no more, so to speak.

     Oh well, fair enough. I'm sure I will learn to love the 'maison again eventually. I'm just having a generally apalling day (/week/year). I'll fix the templates eventually I guess, and then we'll just have to make regular backups or something. Your bits of the 'maison do look very lovely, perhaps more so because they don't all depend on flakey CGI scripts that like to delete all their config once in a while, just for fun.

     I think that's a little unfair. After all, I appreciate the effort you put in to a point of putting effort in aswell.. graphics, extra site features (links plugger, music), giving enthusiasm, moving my entire operation here and trying to keep things fresh. By saying no-one appreciates anything anyway very much belittles all the effort I have put in. If you can't be arsed then fine, don't be. Please don't put it down to other people's effort. That's simply unfair.
    Rob Lang

     Rob, the logo on the main page (and the add message page) seems to have a funny line about two thirds of the way across on my browser (IE6) - I think maybe it's the main chunk of the image repeating - it's the background of a table cell isn't it? However, on the music page there's no line and the whole thing looks a bit lighter and generally very lovely. Discuss.

     By the grace of God, I should be in Reading on Friday 18th October at Microsoft. As I have an early start, I would imagine I will be travelling down on Thursday afternoon, and I'm sure it would be irresponsible to drive back Friday night, I will be clearly tired.

     Hi all, I have updated the links plugger so you can now send your newly added links to the messageboard. This brings it more inline with John's original idea of "a place to put links that I like but don't want to have to hunt through the messageboard to find them". I have also stopped the anonymous linking too, so you'll need the password to add them.

     Tom, I made a simplified version of your HTML, for my own benefit really, and plonked it here
    John
    - Fri Oct 4 14:04:02 2002

     I once had to write a system where there was a COM object which generated XML as a BSTR which was picked up by an ASP page, which, using MSXML, put it through an XSLT to generate Javascript which when ran client-side generated HTML that was then formatted by a CSS stylesheet. This would, on occassions, print out ten.
    John
    - Fri Oct 4 13:51:19 2002

     You could definitely do that in ASP.
    John
    - Fri Oct 4 13:46:48 2002

     I wonder if there is a way to set the style sheet based upon some javascript function that looks at the browser version? I could have black bgcolor if less than IE 6.. :-)

    - Fri Oct 4 12:37:33 2002

     Those pictures are great Tom! Although I'm on a different machine now and therefore back to IE5. So I had to select the text to make it all viewable again... Which then seemed to dither out all of the pictures... You and your fancy HTML trickery...

     Yup, you need IE6 to see all the glories of transparency. Mind you, I downloaded the 6.1 service pack and it's causing no end of problems with cromeless layouts and older Flash plugins. Weirdness...

     Rowanboy, why is it your journal thing appears as white on white whenever I look at it? Am I missing something? By the way I loved the spud cannon thing. What a fantastic concept - your solution to the downturn in the internet security industry was to fire potatoes out of a homemade rocket launcher!Bloody marvellous!
