Dear Russ,
Glad you like the layout :) And yes, you can do a lot, out of town or not.
Contributions are required for the Help section. We've kept the heads
quite open ended, so you could really fit in anywhere you wanted. This is
how it goes:
Articles - Complete writeups about tech that you have played with, could
be anything, Rajarshi did an article about X. The next could be something
about Network Programming? maybe perl? maybe php?
FAQs - We made this a section for internal FAQs, the only one there right
now is a mail list FAQ, currently we're out of time and ideas, but I'm
sure there are truckloads of questions waiting to be answered.
HOWTOs - Original ones! If you've done something weird or helpful, not
covered by the standard list of HOWTOs, write about it.
In The Trenches - This is about close encounters with horrifyingly complex
technology ;) If you've managed to quiten down a screaming hdd or cooked
up a butt kicking res on X after 7.6 hrs of modeline hacking, talk about
it.
Talking of modelines, I managed to coax 1152x900 out of my 14" (yes it
does work). If anyone wants to give it a try, heres the modeline:
ModeLine "1152x900" 50 1152 1192 1324 1460 900 902 905 941
Interlace
All that should be on one line. I have an interlaced monitor, therefore
the interlaced mode. The refresh isnt that good on my ye olde cirrus 5446,
if you've got a better card, play around, get yourself a better refresh.
BTW, don't bill me if you manage to cook your monitor (remote
possibility).
