Am I right in thinking that what CS said made as much sense as "We don't
need a case of claret because we have a pound of brussels sprouts"?


Pretty much !

Having started the web site project here without much knowledge of developing
websites (having mostly been doing corporate network support before that) I
allowed the designer to choose the tools. I chose apache/mod_perl for the
backend because I wanted to learn more about perl  apache. Perhaps not the best
rationale but hey, it's my project :-)

We now have a site with lots of html files full of dreamweaver tags which are
very easy to mess up with a text editor so we tend to stick to DW and keep the
hand editing to a minimum.

Having learned LOTS in the last year, we are planning to rebuild the site to
separate the templates from the content because content management is becoming a
pain. Naturally we will be doing this with perl.

So - Dreamweaver is a good gui editor but it generates files which are difficult
to maintain. It is good for those who are not technically minded but probably
not the best choice if you have technical skills available.

We will ditch DW in the new version of the site.

Simon.

  I know you've probably got load on at the mo, but the website still
  lists the February meeting as being at the PO. An update perhaps?

Which page did you have in mind? It all looks up to date to me.

Dave..




I've been looking at london.pm.org which is still showing the tech meeting on
the 18th on the front page.


Is that the right url ?

  Subject   [OT] Putty invocation





Hi folks

Am I going mad or is there no way I can start my fav client program
PuTTY and specify a saved 'session' directly with a switch?

(i.e. I can specify a hostname, but I _want_ to specify a session
name - to have my colours / fonts etc)

cheers

I think everything is stored on a per-session basis.

  So if you want something changed for all sessions you have to change and
  re-save each one.

  I think (having only ever used Putty against two machines running the same
  OS) !

  Simon.






The backspace-ctrl-h. I can set it once in putty, and it works, but if I
quit putty and restart, new sessions don't get it.

Penderel query

2001-01-19 Thread Simon_Wilcox


Hi all,

  I've been lurking on the list for a while and am hoping to make the
  meeting on the 1st.

  Please excuse my ignorance with this question, but could someone outline
  what services penderel provides to account holders ?

  I've got 50 I'd be happy to contribute but I'd like to know what it gets
  me (other than a sense of satisfaction from furthering the perl cause :-)

  Simon.
