Subject: [Leaf-devel] Status & I'm back online
Well, I've returned home (hopefully for a while this time), and am
starting to make a list of all the LRP things I haven't gotten to recently
that need to get done. Once I get caught up on e-mail (600 messages in the
LRP list, but they go quick), paying bills and the like, I plan on digging
in and doing some long-overdue LRP stuff.
<sp> Welcome back
The first thing on the list is to fix my web server. I have a new
system built, and am about 90% done with a HOWTO that goes through
installing 2.9.8 as a thin-server system with ROOT ON A SCSI RAID array (ie
no root ramdisk). Hopefully, some of what I did can mesh nicely with
ladybug. I also need to re-structure my site so the content integrates
nicely into SourceForge, seperate the downloadable files from the web
content, allowing the ftp and web to access the same file repository, and
various other general housekeeping. Finally, I need to bring my co-lo site
online, which will likely become my primary site, unless bandwith usage
forces me to migrate to SF's free bandwidth.
<sp> sounds like fun.
I welcome any input or help on restructuring/updating my site. I will
likely also migrate away from FrontPage 2000 for web development, since
other folks may be editing the site. I'm currently thinking about going
with DreamWeaver, but would appreciate thoughts on this as well.
<sp> DreamWeaver rocks. It also costs a bit, but ver4 (just upgraded) is
even smoother than ver3. I have't really even run through the advanced
features yet. I'm trying to keep my stuff 'simple' yet elegant and FAST.
Dreamweaver also has a 'check out' and 'check in' function so that multiple
people don't step on themselves. The templates also work MUCH better for
link consistency. With Front Page, another drawback is that after a while
you can tell immediatly that a site was created with FP. With Dreamweaver,
you start with a blank Page, though they do have downloadable templates.
Once you create a template, you define 'edititable' regions in it. You then
create your pages off the Template. Add a Menu item? Fine, add it to the
template and it updates ALL your pages. To cool.
Other items to deal with once the web site is taken care of:
- Updated weblet lrp:
Incoprerate web page enhancements from list members
Include bandwidth monitoring java applet
Add connection keep-alive support <optional>
- IPSec V1.8 (or maybe 1.9 by now)
- Setup snmp/mrtg (and write HOWTO)
<sp> I actually wrote this up and then promptly misplaced the file. If I
can find it, I'll send you what I did.
- Updated EigerStein images
<sp> There's a task on SourceForge that I was going to start on when I got
back next week. If you are going to do it, then I'll take myself off of it.
If you want help, let me know specifically what you need done.
Current plans call for the PC-104 system to become the controller in my
next robot (a middle-weight for the May 24-27 BattleBots event in San
Francisco).
<sp> Hmmmm...well off to battlebots site to see about ticket information.
That's like a 90 minute drive.
