Review: LindowsOS sneak preview - it's not vaporware after all. - by Tina Gasperson - I found a copy of the LindowOS sneak preview lying around and decided to try it out. If nothing else, the vaporware tag isn't going to stick anymore on Michael Robertson's latest venture. [Meerkat: An Open Wire Service] I'd really like to play with this. 6:51:55 PM

Updating the IO website Todd and I have been working on the Improv Olympic website, not the surface, but the guts.  Fuzzy, the previous webmaster, did a great job of making the website easy to use, and look good.  Todd and I have big shoes to fill.  Our first goal is to change the way the site is updated, so we don't have to change the site by hand.  To that end, I've been researching different update methods.  I've decided that I'll use one of my home systems (Solaris Unix based) to create the static pages, then upload them to the server.  I don't like this solution, because it means that updates are dependent on my internet connection being up, and on me being one of the webmasters, but because of the limited resources provided by the hosting service, I'm locked in for now. The biggest sticking point has been, "how do I create an HTML based calendar, that's easy to update with Perl?"  It's really been bugging me.  Modules save the day again...HTML::CalendarMonthSimple I love Perl. 10:02:23 AM
