From: r937 Just to let you know, I've created the new list. thanks david, it's nice to see someone take this on just to let you know, i will not be joining to all the friends i've made on wdvltalk over the years (it's been, what, about 7 or 8 years for me, if not longer) i wish continued success and if anyone has an SQL question, please feel free to contact me directly rudy http://r937.com/ Rudy, I join the chorus that is sorry you won't be with us as we change hosting.

Re: [wdvltalk] WDVLTalk list closing NOT
From: David Precious Hi Linda, Thanks for the reply. Linda Cole wrote: I'm afraid the best I can come up with is a password protected area on a forum. You can set the forum preferences to notify you by email when there is a post to your subscribed threads, but you cannot reply by email; you would have to visit the forum to post to it. Talk it over and let me know what you decide to do. If you should decide to set up a new list, please post back here so everyone knows where to find you. We did discuss the forum idea, and the general consensus was overwhelmingly against, so I don't think the community would survive if we take that route. I think setting up a new list is the way to go, so I'll do that soon; we just need a name. You said using the wdvltalk name is out of the question, so that's fine; I'm thinking of something like devtalk? That would make the list devt...@lists.preshweb.co.uk, unless we decide we'd rather register a domain for it. Thoughts, people? Does devtalk work as a name for you? If so, I'll create it, and send a mail to the list with the subscribe page / address so we can all join it in good time. Cheers Dave P Works for me fine, Dave. I'll go with any concensus, so long as it's a list.

Re: [wdvltalk] SSI file link not working
Linda, Thanks for the suggestion - I thought I had answered; the problems of split attention ;-). I am just so rusty on everything that I'm deliberately sticking to what i had assumed was the simplest format at this point (shtml) which gives some ssi!

Joseph Joseph Harris From: Linda Cole Joseph, Have you tried a php include? I believe you said you were using php, didn't you? I'd offer the syntax for it, but since I'm not sure, I'd probably just mess you up.

Re: [wdvltalk] private discussion list
From: Matthew Macdonald-Wallace Hi Joseph, PHPBB would do it (although there's been a few issues over the years with security). Failing that, why not look into setting up an email list such as this one and not archiving it. Yahoo-groups will provide you with a secure mailing list for free and you can specify that you want it to be private. HTH, M. Quoting joseph harris smilep...@vfemail.net: I am preparing all the stuff below [not quite ready] and plan to add a little later a discussion list/forum for purchasers of the book. This needs to be cast iron controllable and accessible only by ID/password. Since I expect it to cover 'sensitive' matters I don't want it spidered either. If I am going to run it the whole thing needs to be simple too. Any suggestions for a script [inevitably cost free]? Many thanks Joseph Harris - Thanks Matt. I'd forgotten about BB, though I looked at it ages ago when I understood less than at my peak ;-). Yahoo is a good reserve, but I don't want to trust a server outside my site. Can't put the price into https at the moment, though that might be the best protection. I'll put BB on localhost and see if I understand it this time ;-).

Not only does png do it as a matter of course, but the quality of the end product is far, far better.

Re: [wdvltalk] OT ezine mailing
Hi MOU, [Hey, the universe isn't in such good shape; haven't been doing your job, eh? ;-)] I've gone back to 34sp for hosting, but even a shoestring would be luxury at this moment ;-). My reserve is Zinester basic free, but the way they put the ads now is jarring. If wwwToolz is reliable and without virus etc I'd start there - or something better if someone knows of it. Joseph Joseph: Not seen any decent free hosting but why search when you can get a Personal 500 plan from 34sp.com for £18 a year? That's what £1.50 a month?

[wdvltalk] Browser woe - update
Well I've just worked out the SSI problem with Html-Kit. The answer lies in options and in pre-listing the page in 'open browser window'.

Re: [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] [wdvltalk] Browser woe -- so what's new?
Riva, I've just been banging my head against the wall. The problem is no mystery [except to me at this moment!]. Neither browser is picking up any SSI. It looks as though the css is working. Since localhost is supposed to mimic grown up servers I am assuming that Appache, php and MySQL are in fine fettle. But it looks as though it is not picking up SSI on the Wordpress script either, and that is a polished one. This is starting to look like a EasyPHP issue and I'm wondering if the fault is with the updated version - or just as usual my own incompetence... I can see I'll have to test on a host - it's just so much easier to do locally! Joseph From: Portman Hmm. I don't know. Can you send the whole page so I can try it out on my computer?

The software is Apache via the EasyPHP 2.0b1 bundle on dear old XpSP2. CSS is picked up but on html, shtml files there is no SSI processing - no error messages, no blank screen. Right - it sounds like Apache isn't configured to handle SSI includes. Assuming that you're using Apache 2 and the filenames you're using for HTML pages which include SSI calls use the extension .shtml, you'll need the following in Apache's httpd file: AddType text/html .shtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml And, a suitable Options line including Includes (or IncludesNoExec) - in a Directory block etc. Have a look at your Apache config file; it's likely that the appropriate options are there already, but just commented out. I don't know if the clue is in Firefoxe's refusal to parse shtml, There's no such thing as shtml, and Firefox (or any other browser) doesn't know what SSI is; as far as the browser is concerned, SSI calls are just standard HTML comments to be ignored. yet deigning to print the source in the main window. This, to me, sounds like the webserver is serving .shtml files with Content-Type of text/plain rather than text/html. Do you have anything like Tamper Data / Live HTTP Headers Firefox extensions installed which would let you see the Content-Type header that your server is sending? If not, you could do it the manual way - use telnet to connect to localhost on port 80, then say: HEAD /control_your_debt/ HTTP/1.0 Followed by two newlines. Then look for a Content-Type header in the response. So far as i know - and this is not recollection, but the file that worked for this previous website - this is correct calling !--#include file=zin-sub-form-goldblock1.txt-- and !--include file=spw-tailpiece-sp.txt-- The first is mostly correct, although there should be a space before the -- at the end. The second is just a HTML comment. You want: !--#include file=filename -- .htaccess reads AddType text/.html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes Ah - this is what I was talking about above. It looks mostly right, but if it's Apache2, you'll want the AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml as I described above, rather than the AddHandler server-parsed Also, you might find that having those directives in a .htaccess file won't work; only certain directives are allowed in .htaccess files, and the directives that are allowed can be changed by settings in the main config file. Cheers Dave P Hmmm. Now you have me tinkering where I know not... ;-) OK so I've added Includes here [line 204 on mt httpd.conf in the Appache config folder] # The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options # for more information. # Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes And uncommented and added .php here [line 461/2] # Filters allow you to process content before it is sent to the client. # # To parse .shtml files for server-side includes (SSI): # (You will also need to add Includes to the Options directive.) # AddType text/html .shtml .php AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml .php /IfModule Restarted the server Ha! No change on my script and wordpress index.php won't even appear - blank page. IE and Firefox Restarted the machine, checkedthe file has been saved with changes. Still no action as above. Getting mysterious - or showing some inadequacy by localhost operator... The logic of the chain of action is clear, and with your instructions I can see how it should order the parsing. If I can't sort this by the end of tomorrow I will abandon it. Finding out the problem is just taking time. But if you have any more ideas I'll try them with gratitude for your help.

Re: [Bulk] [wdvltalk] Browser woe -- so what's new?
From: Portman Do you have it up online where we can look at it in action? Riva Not, It's only on the desktop- I am making a usable site before I get hosting. But it is a very simple page and based on one I had in use up to the middle of last year. I'm wondering if there has been a change in Firefox that makes it hard to read something so simple;-). the firefox version is 2.0.016. Ah! It reads it ok as .html [which is the file I thought I had chosen], but only shows the code if .shtml! Which seems the wrong way round. I've added the rest of the coding below, and .htaccess reads: Options +Includes AddType text/html .shtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml AddType text/html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.htm And now the Wordpress folder [index.php] is showing the text properly, but no other css is put in effect, nor images. I'm sure that was working a couple of weeks ago. I'll do restart and let you know if good old windows is its usual self... Joseph On 9/16/2008 7:52 AM, joseph harris wrote: First Hi Zack!

Re: [Bulk] [wdvltalk] Browser woe -- so what's new?
From: Peter MacGregor Joseph, Firefox is now at 3.0.1 - maybe an update would help? Peter I'm reluctant to make the move - there are one or two question marks. But what I don't understand is why the basic code should now have these probelms. Joseph At 16:58 16/09/2008, you wrote: From: Portman Do you have it up online where we can look at it in action? Riva Not, It's only on the desktop- I am making a usable site before I get hosting. But it is a very simple page and based on one I had in use up to the middle of last year. I'm wondering if there has been a change in Firefox that makes it hard to read something so simple;-). the firefox version is 2.0.016. Ah! It reads it ok as .html [which is the file I thought I had chosen], but only shows the code if .shtml! Which seems the wrong way round. I've added the rest of the coding below, and .htaccess reads: Options +Includes AddType text/html .shtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml AddType text/html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.htm And now the Wordpress folder [index.php] is showing the text properly, but no other css is put in effect, nor images.

[wdvltalk] shtml in firefox - update
Updating my problems. Zend Optimiser is as i stated. And firefox is displaying source, instead of parsing. But it seems that the SSI isn't working. I have statements like !--#include file=other-links.txt-- and !--#include virtual=site-links.txt-- for files in the same folder as the calling file. Like me, all simple stuff. And the page is index.shtml. I've done an .htaccess file with [following http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/ssi.html ] Options +Includes AddType text/html .shtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml AddType text/html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.htm It all looks enabled in Apache [EasyPHP desktop]. Why won't the includes parse - there are no error messages - and why is firefox not even parsing the shtml? Flummoxed!

Re: RE:[wdvltalk] secure download for ebook
From: Furry, Tim ... Joseph, I don't know if this will work in your situation or not, but I've had good luck using two different methods of restricting document access. 1. Put the content in the database. Your regular PHP files can check authentication and/or authorization, and if the appropriate credentials are submitted, you can open a new browser window, set the MIME type for the content, and copy the content to the new window using PHP. This is a good solution for when you don't have access to the server's file system outside your web space (as in a hosted site). JH writes: Yes,that appeals. Bit of rust to scrape off before I'm fully clear, but I recall a while back Cheryl recommended that for an earlier site of mine. 2. Put the content in a folder that's not in a web-servable location. You can use PHP the same way to check credentials and then open and copy the file line-by-line to a browser, but the file itself should not be directly servable. This is good for when you run your own servers or if you're accessing content on other machines remotely. JH writes: Yes, that makes sense too. This is a pdf so I'm not sure how well it would fit this. But it might be good for other ideas ahead. Either way, you'll want your PHP to be pretty stout to protect the content, but this way you don't have to worry about people hacking the URLs and finding the files.

[wdvltalk] secure download for ebook
I am starting at the beginning again with planning a site, and again this will be to do with selling a book, but it will also contain a lot of other material and some sort of forum or, more likely, a 'questions answered' newsletter. I do not favour any DRM, but don't want the download page exposed or available to non-payers. I am reluctant to think HTTPS, though I know how sensible it is. But I was thinking that maybe [I am using PayPal for payments] there was a way of linking the PayPal transaction number to the download. I have a feeling this was discussed some time ago, but have not put my mind to the area for two or three years. Any guidance would be welcome. If you wanted to get a flavour of the direction of this I am using http://debtcontrolman.Wordpress.com to develop some thinking and initial marketing interest. I am again looking at PHP/MySQL since I should be able to remember it fairly easily, though I might stick to CSS1, since the emphasis has to be on writing and marketing. I am trying to delay setting up the website briefly, and wonder if, apart from the laborious emailing of ebooks to purchasers, there was some bright way to house the file for download. I hae been doing a number of preparation things, but find everytime a simple operation is ahead it turns into a labrynthine struggle with time and sanity ;-). It has. for example. taken most of the day just to check and update my PayPal account! In fact, I have jsut remembered, I haven't finished... Thanks for any help. Joseph Harris P.S. I would like to house all the articles in a wordpress folder to enable comment, but don't like the convoluted was wp separates them from the site links. I deas there would be nice too...

[wdvltalk] database woes
I was clearly born fairly stupid and have been completing my education... I have just updated ClipGuru into the existing folder and realised that the list of clip sets has disappeared from the application window [ie I can't access them or they are gone for ever]. There is however a database of 589kb that I suspect contains the information. It is not on this computer and I don't know - or how to find out - what kind of db it is. Has anyone a kind word and a crumb of comfort? I am short of devastated but very unhappy that what had turned into a useful reference for a current project was in the clip sets.

David, Thaks for your response and the offer. I have managedd to get a reply and help from the writer of the program, so I'm hoping that he will guide me - though it looks to me as though i may have managed to wipe the information. His pirst idea has drawn a blank. But if I get no joy after his efforts an think there might be further room for manoeuvre I'll come back to you, if that's OK. I've just checked another clipgru on this computer and the db is much smaller, so there may be some hope... Joseph Update news of a result. The problem seemed to be mine; Clipguru [which is a very good clipboard extension] is available as standalone and as installed. I installed the update, but think I must have put the earlier version as standalone. In standalone the db is with the application, but installed it is put in application data. So the db existed but the program was looking elsewhere for its information. My solution is to put a copy in application data, though I could have altered the .ini file. Thanks for your offer David.

The connection to the ISP itself is obviously working, but none of the browsers seem to hold their concentration!- Nor does IE diagnostic appear to know how OE does it...Don'cha just love M$. It looks a lot like DNS problems, as I originally suspected. OE can still work as it's already resolved the hostname of your ISP's mail server, so it knows the IP already, and doesn't have to re-query the DNS server. It would appear that you have the DNS server configured to be 192.168.1.1, which will be your gateway (the ADSL router) - that's probably configured for you by DHCP. It might be worth forcing the DNS servers on the machine in question to use specific ones, perhaps the OpenDNS (www.opendns.org) servers. Out of interest, do other machines on your network use the gateway as a DNS server too? Do they exhibit the same problems at the same time, or do they continue to be able to resolve names? There's nice instructions at https://www.opendns.com/start to change the DNS settings. Cheers Dave P Thanks, That's looking good on the one machine. None of the others have the problem. The browsers seemed to have the problem even if they had been repeatedly accessing a particular site! Ah... I'll never understand this. I should write more poetry.

I am used to the wierdness of the digital world, however some things seem bizarre even by those standards ;-). My Dell Inspiron 1300 likes sending and downloading mail via broadband, indeed almost chortles with delight. However after a short time [hours to a day] it yawns and ignores all requests to access webpages, pretending a cable is unplugged, even while it merrily downloads, uploads and investigates mail. I suspect his has to do with ports and consequent docker (stevedore) strikes. However I cannot see how to sort this out. Of course, your experience may tell me there is osme other fault - browsers IE, Firefox and Opera are all in on this conspiracy. Windows IE diagnostic usually claims a wire is unplugged, even while mail is downloading! Many thanks as always for any help.

Re: [wdvltalk] Rights with a non paying client...?
From: Tris Hi all.. I just finished a monthly rolling contract with a client that lasted 15 months, or there abouts. Each month was a fight to get paid, but they relented, because I was on-site and near the accounts department (close enough to hound them often enough to be annoying I think). Anyhoo, I'm gone now and my penultimate invoice is now late. (bit of a worry, as I was counting n that to pay my VAT bill, live and learn). Anyhoo, I still have back door access to their MySQL server and could feasibly delete, edit, and generally make a mockery of their database for several major clients. Naturally, I'm aware that this will not get my money any faster... if at all, but I did think that why don't I go and delete the data that I added that was connected with the work I did while I was there? Make a back up and restore it all when I'm paid. There was never a signed contract between us, so I was wondering if I can claim that under my own freelance terms etc, the work is owned by me, until payment, regardless of the fact that they might feel they own all code/data etc... It all seems very shaky ground to be honest, but I'm driven by the fact that I know they have no backups. Thoughts, advise... your own horror stories welcome... I'm at the end of my tether and my last ditch attempt is to go to the office tomorrow and simply sit and wait til they pay me... but I was kinda hoping to enjoy my unemployment for a few weeks...! ;-p Ok, let me know.. Tris... Tris, There is an agreement. It may not be written, but the courts in the UK and the US recognise oral contracts. The question is what have you, in the way of remembered converstaions setting up the deal, in the way of letters of emails or memos to back up your concept of what the agreement is? Primarily you have the situation of being paid at a time related to your work and the end of the relevant month. There has clearly never been any complaint about your work, which makes any failure to pay actionable. Going to law is a tiresome and negative experience. However, unless you know these people to be ligitigatious, it is well worth consulting a solicitor just to know where you stand and whether you would be able to claim worthwhile damages for breach of contract - ie not paying on time. I forget if you are UK or US based but I think there is still an offer in the UK to consult at a very reasonable fee for a first halfhour session. [I remember £5 but I have no idea how long ago that was ;-)] It may be a that a letter from a bright solicitor who clearly hears what you say and understands might be money well spent. If they know you mean business they might act quickly for fear of your doning PR damage by making their behaviour public. Unless you certainly own the work not paid for it would not be the best move to interfere with it now. Again a good solicitor would know. Might be worth contacting the Law Society for a list of solicitors who do contract law. Good luck with your efforts.

Re: [wdvltalk] Kaspersky problems - or maybe not... maybe!
From: Todd Richards No worries! I'm not sure where you are located and what you have available in terms of outlets. In the states, I recently helped my sister purchase an HP laptop from Best Buy with a 200+GB hard drive, Windows Vista (not my favorite) and 2GB of memory. It was right about $849 (before taxes and an extra warranty). I was actually pleased with how well it ran. If you want XP, then you might have to get from Dell or someplace like that, where you can still order with XP. Todd Todd, That makes the prices look similar across the current exchange rate [depending on parts quality of course]. I had been hearing good things of HP. She will not touch Vista ;-) so Xp it is. There are one or two places tht offer it still beside Dell, though I have bought from them 3 times and think they give good value for the money. I've found service good too when my monitor went on the blink there was a replacement overnight from Ireland and instant return for the old monitor, so minimal hassle. I see M$ has cut th price of Vista - I wonder what that says... ;-) Joseph The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

Re: [wdvltalk] Kaspersky problems - or maybe not... maybe!
Hi Drew, thanks for the response. We've chased around finding what we can, but nothing tht gives answers; or rather we have only come across answers that suggest days of correction work or a complete reinstall of the OS.As to duelling that is possible but the two had sat happily together for about six months of more or less daily use, so it is not an obvious answer, unless some update has started an incompatibility. There wasn't active multiple AV; ZA was the firewall and K the AV. The isp was reached by old-fashioned dial-up, and was clearly enganged.But whatever was tried there was no sending activity [and so of course no receiving either]. Your new machine remedy looks right, though switching completely to K suite hasn't worked - tht sugggests to me that there is some major disturbance in setting s and files' content. A different new machine executive action has emerged ;-): buy a new laptop. She's been unhappy with this one for ages, so it seems a good moment... Maybe I'll use this one to test out linux [down Matt, boy, down] and see if we can work with that.We're completely off the experiment of Vista, don't use Word or Works. It has already wasted a tremendous amount of time and energy and I really would only pursue correcting the problem if there is a relatively simple solution. I also suspect so much has been tried that things are very fouled up. Of course there were no discs with this machine for reinstall and troubleshooting!! Joseph From: Drew Trusz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Have you checked their respective knowledge bases yet? Forums? Do we have a case of dueling tools here? ZA Pro also includes av. Was the entire Pro suite operational? How was the isp reached? Browser? ftp client? Treat this like it was a new machine never before networked. Check all the basic configurations including browser settings and mail. Install ZA Pro as it was installed. If you don't know that, do the default install paying careful attention to what is installed. If that restores connectivity beyond the isp, try the Kaspersky again. If not, got a backup copy? If the problem recurs then you are going to have to disable some parts of one or the other products until you get a workable arrangement. Multiple av still seems a dicey proposition. drew On 2/27/08, joseph harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Something has caused a problem - not directly for me happily.

Re: [wdvltalk] [OT] Data loss from the Child Support Agency
From: Peter MacGregor We've heard the Chairman of the Revenue resigned yesterday - but what about the idiot that did this in the first place? Has he or she been fired? None of the news bulletins I've heard have mentioned this. I know that in the Civil Service you don't usually get fired for incompetence - just moved to another department to repeat your stupidity in some other way and eventually draw an indexed linked pension at the taxpayers expense - but surely this is so serious that a termination of employment with no hope of reinstatement in government employment EVER is the only way we - the public - can be assured it really is being taken seriously? In Private Enterprise I doubt the Unions would even attempt to mount a case for wrongful dismissal in such an instance as there really is no defence - the individual apparently blatantly ignored procedures with devastating results. Another thought going through my mind - apparently the National Audit Office asked this person for the data. Was any check made that it really was the NAO asking? Or was it some con artist that has now got away with the biggest data con in history so far? And what of TNT? They apparently transported this - what have they to say for themselves? Peter MacGregor Peter, Good rant... But... If my ears and eyes got it right the blame lies with friend Gordon and Alisatair 'Look What I Found Under the Rock' Darling, a.k.a. 'It's Your Money I'm After'. ['Course Newsnight ain't what it was, but 'Stuffit' Paxman was in full flow ;-)] A. The professor who is chief advisor on IT to the Goverment said in front of the financial secretary to the treasury 'It was a disaster waiting to happen' because of the continuing accretion of data and inadequate security. And he named three reports brushed aside by Gordon and his puppet Alistair '25 billion - Now You See it, Now You Won't' Darling. I assume this honest man will be found with aspirin spread about in his local wood. B. The fact that it is still not clear how this disaster happened means there is no proper procedure for accessing or copying this information. C. To cut everyone's costs but those of MPs our friend Gordon allowed his big mate Rupert 'the bear that hugs all to himself' to have the contract to transport items round governemnt. And presumably with no special system for sensitive matter. D. There is no one to sack among civil servants since it is fairly obvious that the data was acquired to order and the TNT staff involved were waiting to receive a marked package and all the individuals involved in perpetrating the deed are either sunning themselves in Marbella, or rotting in the foundations of a recently started building! E. Every Brit with children should already have changed their bank accounts, even if with the same bank. Oh! And just to put the cherry on the icing of the compôte of this particular disaster, the Financial Secretary to the Treasury seemed unable to comprehend why this might make people a little bit wary about another massive database for identity cards.

Re: [wdvltalk] [OT] Data loss from the Child Support Agency
From: Ann Dietz Thanks for the link to the timeline. Looks like a bit of a mess. We've had several similar incidents on this side of the pond. Data security is tough when the storage media are so portable and people neglect to think about security. Ann Ann, The reason this is creating such a storm - apart from the sensitivity and the amount of the data involved - is the failures; not a matter of neglect. There have been three important reports about the measures that must be taken, and the Treasury - which is in control of this area - has assured everyone again and again that systems are in place. The Minister in charge of the Treasury for the last ten years, and the one who drove all the reforms that appear to have caused the weaknesses, is our own dear new leader, Gordon Brown, though his puppet, Alistair Darling looks as though he will carry the can. The government's own chief IT advisor last night on tv, in front of the No3 at the Treasury, called it a disaster waiting to happen.That's tough talk from a hireling - even if only part time.

Re: [wdvltalk] [OT] Data loss from the Child Support Agency
From: Matthew Macdonald-Wallace Truth is though that any secure data should be sent electronically, preferably via a secure VPN (Virtual Private Network) or at the very least via email signed by PGP/GPG and encrypted with 256bit encryption. This is not rocket science - purely good systems administration. The fact that IT companies all over the country, no matter how big or small they are, are jumping up and down about this (I know we are where I work!) should be a huge warning to Brown et al. however we all know that if EDS or CapGemini are in the bid process, it will be awarded to one of them. /me shuts down rant mode before he gets carried away... Cheers, M. Matt, I for one would be very interested to read your views on it. This is really exactly what one expects from the management of the two Bs.I don't expect Gordon to last long; he must either be ditched by his own party, or lose votes of confidence before long, as Labour MPs lose the will to support such nonsense as he drives through, and its sad aftermath.

Re: [wdvltalk] dsk files (zip) - how do I install the program?

Hi Joseph .dsk files are disk images of floppies (much like ISO for CDs)... MagicISO is able to open these files (allegedly) Sorry I haven't had a chance to look around properly yet but if I find anything useful I'll post Dan Dan, Thanks very much for your trouble. I've now got diskmanager but it keeps telling me these are not valid M(X)-DOS files!! It has done the same to some .dsk copies that I found on an old CD. I'm just flummoxed. Should I use DSKMGR via the command line, and if so how? ;-(.Or is there just something odd about these files. I note that though the zips are different sizes all the .dsk results are 140kb, on both sets of files!

[wdvltalk] dsk files (zip) - how do I install the program?

I have zips of .dsk files.

[wdvltalk] windows, linux, Mac
These are some rem,arks from someone who does not know how *not* to be contentious - however he is often right! any comments on these opinions? [take the Windows bit as read ;-)] Why do I run a Mac? Because it combines the best of Unix/Linux security and functionality with hardware and multimedia (mpg, swf, ppt, pdf, etc.) With the Mac everything works out of the box. With Linux almost everything works out of the box, except the one, two or three things you really NEED to work, and with that you have to have root canal before it DOES work (but it will eventually if you fight with it long enough!) It is nice to have a common platform that other share. Your BMW is just like the other guy's BMW so it is easy to get help. With Linux, there are a million varieties and everyone has different hardware. You have two Linux users and three opinions! With the Mac I get to ask ... (and any other user has the same answer).

Re: [wdvltalk] Site Check Please
From: Peter MacGregor I'd appreciate comments on www.healthandsafetyformicrofirms.com if anyone has time. There is no checkout at the moment and we're still uploading data and tidying up some of the data but some initial reactions please. You need to register to get inside the site but at the moment you can do that at no cost - ignore the cost that it shows if you register, it goes nowhere! I'll delete all names from the database before we go live in a few weeks. Tens of thousands of small firms in UK have no HS system even though it is a legal requirement. (Must be in writing if there are five or more employees). Most think it is too costly to bring in professional help to set one up - this is an attempt to tap that market. Thanks for any comments - good bad or indifferent! Regards Peter MacGregor PS - the ads are purely for testing purposes at this stage! Peter, If you are part educating to the fact of responsibility should the first line of text to meet the eye be: 'Are you meeting your legal Health and Safety responsibilities? Your answers are here.' What the hell is a 'microfirm'? One that makes computer chips? ;-) i.e. are you speaking to fellow consultants or small business owners and club secretaries? In the pink slab too, drop micro. The more I'm reading the more I think you need to spend a penny or two and get an ad/sales/marketing writer to sharpen this up. It is a description, but not a sales tool. I'm no expert that way, but I am picking up changes needed every half sentence. Those you are addressing are not going to be the same people who attend conferences, or who spend half their life on courses. They won't have the 'bizspeak'. Layout and colour seems to me good and easy to follow. I am not sure that the right hand column has the right list; or maybe it needs an intro of a dozen or so words. 'Everything your organisation does is subject to Health and Safety law. Here is a list of many aspects to be checked.'

Re: [wdvltalk] Which language to use? - Linda?
What I can't work out with these automatic responses is why - since it is sent to the responder from the list - it sends these messages to the original sender and not to the list, which has become the immediate sender; if any of that makes sense! And thenHit reply and although that goes to the list the info is of the original sender. That still doesn't answer it; the list remains the reply address. One makes effort to extract the original sender's address if there is a need to use it. Well digits to the world - I mean here's to the digital world. Joseph From: Peter MacGregor No it's not Joseph. I've just had exactly the same thing with the cheeky response I sent to you!

[wdvltalk] [OT] Biiiig files in temp folder
Having just acquired an enormous program dealing with keywords [18hours dial up download !!] I have been sorting out the space on the hard drive. In Windows\Temp is $07E619A4.t$m 0.75Gb, $RZEC.AVG 0.68Gb, and $VENB.AVG 0.5Gb - taking up nbearly 2Gb vetween them!! They are so big I can't get anything to open them... I assume temp means temp, but this is Windows ;-). Does anyone know for certain if I can delete without worry?

Firefox is again aping the Sorcerer's Apprentice, and re-opening with more windows than it had when it closed.

Re: [wdvltalk] Fw: [OT] Paypal verification
Thanks Bj. Now I recall something about letting them know about a small payment to my account. Joseph From: Bj [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think it involves checking your bank account statement until you see a payment of $1 credited from PayPal. At that point you can go back to the PayPal site and enter the reference number of this payment, and that verifies your bank details are correct Obviously this is quicker and easier if you have online banking than waiting for a paper statement...

Re: [wdvltalk] OT: uninstalling McAfee from a new machine
From: PBC Web Design At 01:04 PM 12/3/2006, you wrote: Hi Deb, It being Sunday I might be your best bet... My Dell with Xp Home came with wretched McAfee, which I have never got on with [nor but i won't bore you ;-)]. As I recall I disabled McAfee [with its 'six month free - a lifetime of cost'], and left it sitting in the machine gnashing its teeth. On the other hand I am not sure why you can't use the uninstall wizard, it should take out all that important stuff - leaving just enough in the registry to keep nagging ;-). The wizard should uninstall itself after its done the Macbeth bit! And I think I installed both Zone Alarm and AVG before I even disabled McA, switching it off every time it raised its big business deal head. Hi Joseph, It won't even let me install my Norton System Works w/o throwing me a warning to uninstall the McAfee first and I'm not even going to use the Norton AV. I just use some of the tools in the suite. It's not an uninstall wizard in the program list or anything it's actually listed in the Control Panel Add/Remove programs as uninstall wizard so I'm afraid what I'd be doing is uninstalling the uninstall feature but I can't find an uninstall w/in the program. Every time I open it up to look it wants me to set it up. :: Deb | PBC Web Design :: http://www.PBCWebDesign.com Deb, Why don't you activate the uninstall wizard? That should take McAfee out. If the uninstall wizard is still there afterwards you can use the 'add/remove' function on it. Some of these programs are very sticky and make their threatening noises, but at worst one can just take the folder out and stamp on it ;-).I've not made serious use of it, but the roll-back thing - what's it called? - System Restore gives you a way to go back in time ;-), so if you make an error it is correctable. I think setting up restore points is fairly simple. I imagine the 'Media' version is just heavy on meadia programs, rather than working in a substantially different way to other Xp variants. As I said McAfee gives me gyp, but then so does Norton Why not plan some easy and not-very-important change in the whole set up and test System Restore. Once you are confident with that you can experiment with getting McAfee out, knowing you can go back to your starting point.

Re: [wdvltalk] More issues with add-ons in IE7
Perry, How far this answers you I don't know, but you will have noted my request over almost the exactly same problem.For my daughter this has been resolved. It appears that after turning off and making a number of unsucessful attempts to restart - the machine citing 'Desktop Active' [or Desktop X?] she abandoned it. Returning to the machine the following day it has started with add-ons working but Desktop Active [or X] now not. Gremlins are inventive little blighters, aren't they? Joseph toilet humor about the toilet http://www.Looperman-is-ready.com http://www.smilepoetryweekly.com (family friendly humour) - Original Message - From: Perry Gerenday I read earlier posts about how to enable IE7 add-on but either I don't understand the instructions or something is not loaded right for me. I have downloaded IE7 and upon launch the browser blurps and indicates that Internet Explorer is running with add-ons disabled. Checking under toolsInternet OptionsProgramsManage Add-ons I can see that the status of all add-ons is Enabled. Clicking on a listed add-on activates a set of radio buttons that allows me to choose Enable or Disable. I've gone through all add-ons and clicked them back and forth making sure they all are enabled. Closing and relaunching IE repeatedly only results in continuing to run with add-ons disabled. Is there something I'm missing, or something flaky with my IE7 download? Thanks, Perry Gerenday www.webinitiative.net . The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM .

Joseph From: Cheryl D Wise Favorites are still there, use the star on the left, that opens the favorites, history, etc. She would probably feel more at home with her menus back. Tools | Menu bar. From both a security and a make life easier for web designer point of view staying with IE 7 and getting over the (really it is) minor adjustments would be best since right now you can rollback but MS is trying to get IE 6 into the history bucket as quickly as possible. There is a site for customizing IE 7 that I sadly did not bookmark that has ways to move the menus back the way they used to be as well without using a registry key.

Re: [wdvltalk] IE7 bad, IE6 good ... but how to get back
Many thanks MOU, the first looks the most interesting possibility. I'll pass this on. I've noted your praise for IE7... And thanks rudy for the link; I'll check that myself as I imagine I'll need it too ;-). Joseph From: Ross Clutterbuck Three options Joseph: 1: Turn on IE7's full interface to reinstate the old-school menu bars and such to get it working like IE6 (because even though I hate myself for saying this, IE7 is actually a lot better and moderately more secure than IE6) and tell the young lady to live with it (as punishment for blindly clicking OK buttons ;-) ) 2: If IE7 was installed as an update you should be able to remove it using Add/Remove programs - it's certainly in my list. And I think you can still download the IE6 installer from the IE site. 3: Install and get her using Firefox 2 - it's functions just like IE6, and you can even disable tabbed browsing if she hates it.

Re: [wdvltalk] Paper sizes
From: Portman Hi all, Can anyone tell me what the dimensions are for legal size paper? Is it 8.5x 11.75? If so, how is that different than an A4 size paper? Excuse the ignorance. Thanks, Riva Riva, There are as many paper sizes as there are people to cut the reel up [well, maybe not...] There are two main systems the metric [may it wither and die] and the imperial or english or American with ancient and quaint descriptions (I wrote a poem about that!). The mertric is so logical it is totally unfitted for humans, and the imperial is so illogical it is not suited to the age ;-). IN the metric the A4 -8.25 x 11.75 (as John pointed out 210mm by 297mm ) is pretty standard now for office and legal and so on in Europe and now even, due to our namby-pamby politicians, in Britain. But 'Legal' is 8.5 x 14 and 'Tabloid' is 11 x 17. Do you want to know about 'elephant' and 'eagle'?

[wdvltalk] [OT -2] Firefox reduced to ashes
What I like about Firefox is the tabs and the holding of those tabs across crashes, etc. Vital info reliably and lazily held. However... Firefox is showing new behaviour.I had five or six windows with maybe 40 tabs between them. Then with a 'start' Firefox opened duplicates and I had 9 windows; then 15, then more and more to well over 50 with a comensurate multiple of tabs, all trying to access the web at the same time. The effect was to completely jam the machine [Xp SP2, Dell]. Is there a solution which a) saves the information or b) loses the information but does not involve re-installing. Or should I go to he newest Firefox, Vista is it? Yours, M$-ered, Joseph - Oh!
