What I have increasingly seen in the last year, both in North America and Europe, is that IT has ceased to be a valid way to spend corporate money. IT spending used to be looked at as a way to gain competitive advantages. Since the .com bust, the arguments I hear everywhere is 'IT has now been proven to be a waste of money'. At many companies it is now easier to get a corporate account at a strip club than a new PC. Or a budget to develop a much-needed corporate app. If any spending is done it is on hardware - at least that is 'real'. Do Slashdot readers recognise that? Are there going to be many techies left ten years from now? What can we do to keep the spirit of innovation alive while this 'IT is bad' era lasts, and how can we make it end? And, how do you prove the value of IT? This is not as simple as it seems. Try it with a spreadsheet: as your typical CTO has to do so, every day." How do you feel about the cost benefits of IT? Is it worth what your company spends on it, especially if the advantages can't be reduced to a simple dollars-and-cents figure?

If you base your site off of the "slashcode" theme just add to your theme file: include_theme=slashcode If this is for a site that already exists make sure you add this information to the site_info table. Invalid command 'PerlHandler' http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/07/2319210 Hi all, I come already the two days trying to install the Slash in two machines with Mandrake.. I followed all the steps of the installation manual, however I have received, when initiating the apache with the INCLUDE of slash.conf this error: ---- Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/httpd/conf/slash.conf: Invalid command 'PerlHandler', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration. -- I'm checked lists and installed File-Spec with: "install RBS/File-Spec-0.82.tar.gz"... Without this configuration Apache works fine! Help me please! Image and File Uploads? http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/06/0531259 Is/will there be a plugin to allow slash to be able to upload files and images? Something like what Moveabletype has? Slashcode login hangs http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/05/199233 Have the lastest Slash codebase running. However, when a user attempts to log in with a correct password, the page just sits there--the IE icon twirls mysteriously, as if connection was being made, but no return. Conversely, if the enter a valid username, but invalid password, the page return is immediate, with a message that either the username or password was incorrect. Any assistance...etc. --Hieronymous Coward Install Slash For Dummies - failing on final step http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/04/0626227 I was successful with every step of the "Install Slash For Dummies" instructions, but then failed on the final step when starting slash: [root@dedicated init.d]# ./slash start Starting slashd virtslash: ok PID = 28526 [root@dedicated init.d]# This account is currently not available. Does anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot? I've looked through the docs and can't find anything... Slash installation in one step? http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/03/0750238 I think Slash installation is simple and clear, but also, it's manual. There must would be an automatic installation procedure. I'm thinking in a Perl script based on a response file or similar that installs Slash components (Apache, mod_perl, MySQL, Bundle::Slash and Slash itself) all in one step. Of course, you have previously to wite the responses to interactive questions that will be formulated during installation process. This response file may act as your 'Slash based settings for your site'. Also, the Perl script may write an 'installation log' during its execution. Could not determine the server's FQDN http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/02/0514248 This is probably something stupid I did, but I can't figure out what it is. After installing Slash without error, I try to start Apache via "apachectl start" and I get the following error: "[alert] httpd: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName" I have a DNS server running and the FQDN I used in the slash install *does* resolve. All I get if I try to access the site is the default Apache test page. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks. SlashCode on Apache2+ModPerl 2 http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/02/0513259 I have installed Apache 2.0.39 with ModPerl 1.99_04. Now I want to install slashcode on it, but libapreq-1.0 doesn't installs because, I think, libapreq need ModPerl 1.3.xx. Someone installed successfully SlashCode on apache2? How? Thanks a lot. Starting out: Bundle or Current Release? http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/01/0511244 I'm interested in implementing slashcode but although I have a Unix background I'm new to the world of Linux and open source development. I noticed that Bundle-Slash is listed as version 2.13 (last updated last September),whereas slash 2.2.6 is current as of this month. My question is this: do I need to download and install the bundle first to provide some sort of base, or if I install the individual components (Apache, mod_perl, etc.) as directed can skip the bundle and just install 2.2.6? Thanks in advance. Slash DB ERD Please? http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/07/31/0011217 Does anyone have an updated ERD of the Slash DB (preferably the MySQL version, but I'm not picky), from a working site? The one that comes with the docs not only makes very little sense visually, but doesn't match the tables created by the init scripts (some tables are missing from the script, others from the ERD). Any additional documentation on the DB structure for Slash would also be greatly appreciated.
