Mitsubishi Robot - Watchdog, Nurse, Annoying Friend
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/04/2214232

    [0]jomaree writes "The SMH Online [1]reports that Mitsubishi Heavy
    Industries have developed a robot (to run on Linux) with voice and face
    recognition capabilities. The robot would be able to connect to the
    Internet, contact you by e-mail or a mobile phone and, say, send you a
    message if it 'hears' a strange noise inside your home. It can also
    remember the side effects of medication. Reportedly, Mitsubishi claim
    that the robot 'will become a future house-sitter, caretaker, nurse and
    friend for the family'. Unfortunately the robot can also be programmed
    to ask 'You're home late. What have you been up to?' Don't we already
    have people for that?" The Japanese newspaper [2]Mainichi Shimbun has a
    story with pictures.

    tragedy about what's next for human space exploration. Most of the
    punditry agrees that extending the shuttle program for many more years
    is a [2]bad idea. So what are the practical alternatives? I've seen
    ideas for [3]new spacecraft, a carbon nanotube [4]space elevator, among
    other things. What are the best ideas you've seen? Will the best idea
    win, or the one with the most pork barrel contracts? Does space

CPU Convective Water Cooling
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/04/2137214

    [0]biso writes "The possibility of cooling a CPU with gravitational
    convective flow of water is [1] here analyzed and experimented with
    positive results. Many liquid cooling systems have been experimented by
    overclockers to better dissipate the heat from CPUs. The major part of
    these coolers is characterized by a relatively complex system requiring
    pumps or other active devices. Sometimes even liquid nitrogen is used.
    I built a simpler cooler, able to dissipate the same heat flux of a

Slashcode
Missing index.shtml (?)
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/04/0655221

    Ok... I've managed to get just about everything on the site working,
    but now I've found a really bizarre error. It looks as if index.shtml
    can't be found. Now, I don't know what's going on here, but after my
    last install I decided I'd grab all of the latest plugins and install
    them to see what they all did. Fine, right, except that I needed to
    upgrade my slash too. Simple solution - get the latest via CVS, and
    reinstall everything. However, the new install doesn't seem to have any
    .shtml files anywhere except for the FAQ and a couple of others, and my
    error log is telling me index.shtml can't be found. If I change the URL
    from http://gytha.anu.edu.au to http://gytha.anu.edu.au/index.pl I get
    past the 404. Also, once you've logged in, the 404 disappears. It seems
    as if an anonymous user gets a 404, but once you've created an account
    you're fine. My error log doesn't tell me anything except that I'm
    missing index.shtml. Can someone help me out? 

No year in date for articles
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/03/2021253

    Articles submitted and approved for the site have the date, but are
    missing the year. For example a date looks like this: Wednesday January
    29, @08:31PM The code in the appropriate template looks like this: [%
    story.storytime %] I'm not sure at what point the "story" data
    structure is generated. Probably that's where the problem is. Please
    help. 

PHP-Nuke to Slash conversion script released
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/04/2320209

    Openflows Networks has just released nuke2slash 1.0 to the open source
    community under the terms of the GPL. This package converts a PHP Nuke
    4.2 site to Slashcode 2.2.6, preserving all articles, polls, comments,
    and user accounts. This script hasn't been tested on later versions of
    PHP Nuke, but could probably be modified to work on those without too
    much difficulty. This software was written for ICANN Watch, with the
    assistance of a generous grant from the Markle Foundation. 

Slash daemon hangs after 12 hours

    My slash daemon hangs either after 12 hours or after posting a story.

    never figured it out, couldn't get help and finally gave up - I don't

Air-Registry
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/03/2024210

    I have managed to get my slash site up, and it has been running for a
    while. Check it out here. I was happy to be able to integrate the slash
    login with my java servlet application. The links on the lower left of
    the site link to a servlet, and it automatically pulls the user login
    info into the java program. The java program allows you to
    cross-reference pictures of aircraft with pilots and pictures other
    people have taken. The site is pretty new, and I haven't announced it
    the the aviation community yet. I still have a few bugs to work out.
    (Like why does my 'About' page generate an exception?) 

That horse is not quite dead yet... Slash on Windows
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/03/1927230

    I've been asked to look into CMS's and discussion forum systems for my
    company, and naturally my favorite website came to mind. When I looked
    into the documentation and the older posts here, I realized it would
    not be quite as simple as I hoped to set up a proof-of-concept system,
    as I'm limited to Win2K as a server OS. Luckily, I found one post that
    claimed to have managed it. I followed the documentation by Geo
    detailing how to install Apache, MySQL, and mod_perl, and all went
    well. Of course, almost every Perl module listed has been upgraded
    since the writing, and many of the versions Geo used are no longer
    available, but I decided to make a go of it anyway. While I'm new to
    installing Slash, I know my way around the various Windows platforms
    and Perl, and I was pretty sure I would be able to handle it. Of
    course, I misjudged my own abilities, and I get stuck at an unmentioned
    step - nmake test / nmake install for slash. I get some interesting
    errors, listed below... would anyone have any ideas as to how to
    proceed (moving away from Windows is not an option - stow the
    flamethrowers)? User.c F:\VisualStudio\VC98\include\malloc.h(106) :
    error C2059: syntax error : '('

MyShingle
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/03/1926214

    I just completed a website aimed at solo and small firm lawyers called
    MyShingle.com (http://www.myshingle.com). I have shared it with
    colleagues but not publicly launched in the legal community. I figure
    since your code made the site possible, that slash should be the first
    place where I make the site public. As you probably know, blogging has
    become very popular with lawyers these days...but your code is so much
    more robust! Thanks. --Carolyn Elefant 

Patch for submitting stories as plain text or HTML
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/01/29/2253238

    I've just written two small patches which allow users to submit stories
    in HTML or plain text using a selection box like the one for comment
    submissions. You can see it in use here. A few suggstions have been
    made on slashcode before to fix this, but none that allow you to submit
    either type from one form. 

Problems with Journal/Messages
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/01/29/2253200

    I've just installed a slash site at the URL http://gytha.anu.edu.au/
    which will be used for an internal website for our Hall of Residence,
    Bruce Hall, at the ANU. The initial install seems to be working fine,
    except for two things. The Journal and Messages links in the first box
    don't work - they return internal server configuration errors. I don't
    even know where to begin to look at why this might be the case, so I'm
    just after a bit of advice as to where to look for reasons for these
    errors. I'm running it on a box with a full install of RH8, and had no
    problems at all during the installation process (which came as a shock
    to me considering my previous attempts at installing slash). I know I
    haven't configured other things on the site yet, but I'll get around to
    that once everything else is working. Any help anyone out there can
    offer would be appreciated. 

Does anyone write design documents?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/01/29/1732240

    Not wanting to duplicate any work or step on toes, I'm hoping for some
    insight on current work taking place WRT sharing themes and plugins.
    Some documentation and specifications that goes further than the
    material in the O'Rielly book would be helpful, and I'm even willing to
    write something up after grokking the code and templates more fully.
    Also, has anyone started trying to put together a repository of plugins
    and themes? The 'plugin' box on the slashcode home page would seem to
    be the right place for this to show up, but I didn't find any pages
    that didn't just say "we're working on this, and could use more help".
