Re: [ubuntu-uk] What's In A Name?

I think the year.month release numbers are very useful... if somebody says to me I have OS-Something Version 1.5 I have absolutely NO idea whatsoever whether that release is bleeding edge or deprecated. If I read Ubuntu 11.04 I know that is up-to-date: on the other hand, if I have somebody saying

Re: [ubuntu-uk] School websites

I think schools have a lot to answer for... they're supposed to be educational establishments, yet they seem to fundamentally misunderstand the whole concept of the web... PDFs are fine, for documents that need to be printed consistently (eg. posters for school events) but ALL other information

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Simple backup script

We always used to do a daily backup, but Sundays we did a weekly one. Daily backups (ie. Mon-Sat) were kept 7 days, Sunday backups were on a 4-week cycle. And, of course, we actually backed up to somewhere else... not to the same system, as your script appears to do. You could make it 8-weekly

If you don't consider you are going to have a huge turnover then merely register as a Sole Trader. You will have to pay additional National Insurance Contributions on a quarterly basis (I think it's about £10/month) and will have to complete an additional page on your Self Assessment Tax Return

[ubuntu-uk] Help required! (off topic)

This is not strictly a Ubuntu question, but I know there are quite a few web people here so I wondered if anybody had any suggestions. Have a customer who wants a gallery page similar to this one... http://visualartistsuk.com/marcel-christ I cannot find any evidence that this is a script that

What worries me more is this one... http://visualartistsuk.com/js/maine.js It looks bespoke, and therefore (presumably) not something can use or - indeed - find out who to ask if I can as there is nothing in the code saying who wrote it. The JQuery plug-in is a relatively small piece of

This is all very well and good, but how many people in this country have greater than 1mbps upload speed on their broadband connections? I would suggest it's a single figure in terms of percentages... So, assuming you can get a high proportion of these people, there might be some hope BUT let's
