notes on current "linux magazine"
by David Nicol 13 May '05

13 May '05

Articles of interest to LUG members: "ATA over Ethernet" is a summary of a protocol that makes fibre-channel look no longer pareto-efficient. Being unrouted, it would not be appropriate for use in large LTSP installations to serve node hard drives. ENDB probably would though. "puppy linux" is a *multi-session* live cd, that writes changes back to itself. This is exactly the thing that Oren needs to create the self-contained backup and recovery system on a single CD that he used to go on and on and on and on about. -- David L Nicol Like a bird on a wire, Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free.

I finished my BitTorrent download this afternoon, so I'm going to be a Project Gutenberg DVD seeder for awhile now. 9400+ books.

OT: Project Gutenberg's CD/DVD Project
by Leo Mauler 11 May '05

11 May '05

Just wanted to mention this here as I proofread pages of expired-copyright books for them. Project Gutenberg is making its massive collection of plaintext e-books available in CD and DVD images. The latest CD image is "Best Of August 2003"; the DVD covers all of Project Gutenberg from the very beginning to December 2003 (3.85GB). You can download the image yourself, get it through a slightly safer checksum source like BitTorrent, or even have an overworked volunteer mail you a CD/DVD. With its error-checking options they prefer P2P networks, and they're encouraging BitTorrent right now (http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu:6969/). The DVD is a treasure trove with over 9400 e-books on it (mine will be all together on my hard drive in about two days). I took a humanities course this past spring semester, and it was not only a lifesaver for material, it saved me a bit of money on some of the books required for the class. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Yet Another Perl Conference final details
by Gerard Lim 11 May '05

11 May '05

Hi everyone... This email could be of interest to people interested in the Perl programming language. I know that in Toronto there is a good-sized overlap between Linux people and Perl people (we occasionally hold "joint sessions" of our user group meetings) so we hoped to share this information with Linux folks more widely. There have been some recent developments on the YAPC::NA front, and it has been suggested to us that a reminder might be helpful to some people, so here's a quick summary of the event. Summary ------- YAPC::NA 2005 (Yet Another Perl Conference, North America) in Toronto, Canada, Monday - Wednesday 27 - 29 June, 2005 Home page: http://yapc.org/America/ Conference Location: http://89chestnut.com/ A facility of the University of Toronto Accommodations -------------- Normally registration information would come first, but accommodations are the bottleneck -- our main group reservation (at the conference hotel) expires at the end of the week, and as the conference approaches it will be extremely difficult to find a hotel anywhere in the city. Info on how to book at: http://yapc.org/America/accommodations-2005.shtml Registration ------------ Register now! :-) We are on track to break attendance records at YAPC::NA this year, and we could even sell out before the conference starts. The price for the full 3 days is USD$85. We keep it insanely low through many generous sponsorships and the all-volunteer organizational and speaking crews. Registration info: http://yapc.org/America/register-2005.shtml Direct registration link: http://donate.perlfoundation.org/index.pl?node=registrant%20info&conference… Conference Speaking Schedule ---------------------------- We've got an excellent selection of talks and speakers for Perl programmers of all levels, beginner through expert. We are fortunate enough to have presentations coming from some of the most recognizable names in Perl programming today, including Larry Wall, Chip Salzenberg, Dan Sugalski, Autrijus Tang and brian d foy. Summary -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/summary.html Day 1 -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/day1.html Day 2 -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/day2.html Day 3 -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/day3.html Lightning Talks --------------- These short (5 minutes each) talks, presented by the conference attendees, are a YAPC tradition. If you're interested please read more about them and sign up: http://www.justanotherperlhacker.org/lightning/ [ This message was sent by Gerard Lim <glim(a)mycybernet.net> on behalf of the YAPC::NA 2005 Conference organizing committee of the Toronto Perl Mongers. Thanks for your patience and support. ]

Where does it appear? It sounds like the following example might work for you if you just need a rich tooltip kind of thing http://www.dyn-web.com/dhtml/tooltips/hover-tip.html http://surguy.net/menu/index.html or http://tutorials.alsacreations.com/commentaires/ for CSS-only menus if that helps; you can hack this kind of code to make it work only over a certain <TD> cell. -Jared

pull down menu over graphic
by Jack 09 May '05

09 May '05

Help! I know I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone show me a sample of how to create a pull down menu over a graphic image in a table data column. I prefer a javascript or php solution, but I'll take perl or whatever. I thought I had it, but it's not working. It needs to disappear when not activated and appear when a mouseover or click event happens. I've wracked my brain on this and tried many 'menu code samples' to no avail. Brian D. Discover Yahoo!

Netgear - two strikes
by Jonathan Hutchins 06 May '05

06 May '05

So the pub over hear has one of those nifty Netgear MP101 players, connects wirelessly to your PC and plays all your MP3's into your stereo. Handy little simple remote to control it. Problem is, the "server" runs on an XP box with a USB DSL Modem on it. XP thinks this is the primary network device. There's supposed to be a configuration button that lets you tell the Netgear software to listen on a different subnet, but the button doesn't show up (because it's a USB device? I dunno). (The secondary connection is a standard NIC connected to a Cisco WAP.) So I had a Wireless router en-route from the states. Unfortunately, the 7-10 days shipping ended up being 16 days, and I only have a couple of days left. I open the box, and I see "Netgear". Uh-oh. Sure enough, I set this up on the home network, and as soon as I access the configuration pages on the router, it goes offline. Won't respond to "ping" any more. I can unplug it, it will start up and supply an IP address via DHCP, but as soon as I hit the web pages, poof! Wireless connectivity on it defaults to "off", so I'm pretty well sunk here. Oh, it won't pass packets through on the home network either. It would be double-NAT by default, which is probably why. NETGEAR refused to reply to support email unless I registered the music player. I couldn't guess a purchase date their registration site would accept, so that's sunk. I registered the router, but what are the chances that they're going to get right back to me on a Friday afternoon, and that I'll get it worked out by Monday when the movers come. Ah well. Soon I'll be back in the U.S. and I can take this router back and tell 'em where to stick it. The pub's on their own.
