  1. Books, definately. Reading from a screen is hard on your eyes, first of all, and there is something about relaxing and enjoying a good book. Before I got this computer, (during the winter when I was not working), I would sometimes read 500 pages per day. Now, I don't read 500 pages per week.I have to go to the library more often.
  2. A Major source for Open Source programs is at sourceforge.net. They have some pretty good stuff there. The Web Calendar program, filezilla, Bittorrent.
  3. Use cpanel to create a sub-domain is what you need, then add the joomla/mambo there. There won't be any conflicts then. If you want to then do a re-direct to the sub-domain. it should work.so, right now your account url is "myacct.trap17.com"create a sub-domain named "subone" and install the joomla in it. Access to the joomla would be: "subone.myacct.trap17.com/joomla"I am suggesting a redirect so when you use the first URL the user is taken to the second one. Makes the URL shorter is all.
  4. I live in Western Canada and a friend just upgraded to the new, fast Rogers system. She is exactly 10 times faster than the Cable connection I have, according to a bandwidth test she and I both performed.Really, really fast. (my machine wouldn't handle the speed anyways.)
  5. Canadian Thanksgiving was last month. I cooked Turkey smokies on the BBQ. They were great... and the deep fried turkey is good, too. We celebrate a lot of the same holidays as the Americans, but Thanksgiving, for whatever reason, is a month earlier.
  6. $100 US for something I can do by hand-coding. Thanks, but no thanks.
  7. Yum! Yum!I'll be getting me some KFC next trip into the city... (glad this town is too small to have one)
  8. Jesse, If Thomas Edison would've quit after 1,000 failures when he was trying to develop incandescent lighting using electricity he would've failed, but instead, he developed an attitude which said 'I have not failed to find the method, I just discovered 1,000 ways that don't work...' I have paraphrased, of course, because I don't remember exactly how many times he attempted. But it was a lot of attempts before he found the right one. Point is: there is someone out there for you and without allowing yourself the privlede of 'failing', you may never find out who that 'one' is. I didn't read back to find out your complete story. I am only generalizing here. If you believe there may be a possibility that this is the right 'one', I suggest you take it slow and become 'friends' first. Spend some time with him doing things 'he' likes and also time doing things 'you' like. Slow and gentle. Just my thoughts on relationships....
  9. That is part of what these alterations do. The changes listed above affect the way Firefox makes and receives requests to servers. It increases the number of requests that are allowed at a time. It has a fatter 'pipeline' to work with. The 'slow load on start-up' can be improved by allowing Mozilla/firefox to stay-resident which means the "core" of the application begins when you power-on (start up) the computer and sits in the task tray near the clock on the bottom right hand of the window. Having Firefox start-up and stay resident allows for a quicker response when you start the browser because there has already been a bunch of the processes performed on machine start-up. The problem with this is your start-up takes a bit longer. I might be wrong about all of this, but this is what I have been told.
  10. Best Wishes in the adventure of a life time. Enjoy, be prosperous. Most importantly, be happy...
  11. A good list of information there. I'll have to remember the list next time I kiss someone.Couple of points, though. I don't know who made the list, but remember that we are all influenced by our cultural upbringing and these interpretations may be incorrect in the various cultures represented here on the Xisto forums. I would be interested in hearing from different members to see if these definitions are valid throughout their cultures.Also, the interpretations may not be correctly represented as per your gender. As a male, the slap on the butt might be a correct interpretation, however, females may resent the action and interpret it differently. I know of several women that are insulted by that action, so I try not to degrade them in that manner.Nice list, though...
  12. Nothing. They ae both public access directories. At least that is how it was explained to me when I asked. But I noticed that the filename is "splash.html". If you rename the first or entry page to "index.html", it is automatically loaded, so the address for your site would become 'wow.trap17.com' instead of 'http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/;. Get it? Or use .htaccess to direct to 'splash.html' instead of index.html. Better read up on altering the .htaccess file first. It is important that you don't mess that file up. If you do, your site becomes inaccessible. An on-line document from the cpanel people. and here is a posting that explains how to use the .htaccess file to re-direct to a file other than index.html. Notice from BuffaloHELP: Merged as reported.
  13. I have an older, smaller model of Compaq Presario 1230 and there are always parts available on eBay. Or Google it up. Might be somebody out there with a broken motherboard that would sell the parts.All I can say is 'best of luck'. I cracked the lcd on a digital camera that I paid $280 for and the replacement lcd was gonna cost $400, so I bought a newer, better camera for $275. (get the picture)?
  14. Show use a link to access the page and we can view the source. Okay?I assume that the gif and the html file are in the same directory on the server? either public_html or www? or the html should reflect the different directory...
  15. Probably attached to the table you would look up the password in. Since you would access the User-id table on sign-in, it would avoid having a separate look-up in another table for the permission.the table would be : ((username)(password)(permission))Look up the user to see if they have already registered, if not, then show the reg'n page.Use the password to verify the user and the permission to determine acces and level of access.Should work okay. The username would be a unique key, required. the password required. The default permission would be default = 0 and set or re-set by an admin or use some other criteria such as activity level. Example, once you post a certain number of times, you get to edit the posts??? Admin types could set the value on sign up or because they feel like it?Another way to do it would be set the value to 1 for read access on sign-up and re-set to 0 for banning a client?You'll figure something out. Good luck with it.
  16. Xhtml is very similar to html. The biggest differences in terms of using it are : 1) requires a different Document Tpe Declaration at the start of the file. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN""http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; 2) all tags need to be closed. Even single tags use a "/" to close the tag. <br /> 3) all tags must be lower case. <TITLE> is not acceptable, but <title> is. 4) less forgiving. It assumes nothing. In html, you can forget an end tag. Not in Xhtml. There are other differences, but these are the main issues you will run into as you adapt to the differences... For a more complete description, look here at the w3schools web site. Good luck with it.... it is easier than it looks if you already have an Html background.
  17. The solution you have requires three variables. One for can't see, one for can see, and another for can see and edit. First of all, that'll take some room in the database. Not much, I know, but when your user count gets higher, the storage will increase accordingly.If you are familiar with the permissions set on the cpanel for user groups and their ability to read/write/execute files, then you will be able to understand the following proposal pretty well.Use a single variable named "permissions" (if it is not a reserved word). By default, each user would be assigned a value of zero. Having a value of zero means the user can't see the page. When the user is able to see the page, set the variable to a value of one. How you detemine the ability to see the page is your call. And for those whom you allow to edit pages, make a value of two. Admin could have a value of 3 which means that they could alter the other user's values.So instead of three variables to check, you only have one. Read the user's value. Assume it is a zero, dis-allow reading the page. If it is equal or greater than 1, allow them to read the page. If it is equal or greater than 2, allow them to change the page. If it is equal or greter than 3, allow them to chage a user's value. It might seem to be more work, but not any more than dealing with the three variables. You would have to apply the same or similar number of logical checks before setting permissions, only this way you have one piece of data to read and deal with.Just trying to help...
  18. I'm all for the Strawberries and the Bananas. If there are none of these, blueberries are good. I never tried cantaloupe, but I'll bet that would be a nice flavour as well. And everlast beat me to posting the idea about dropping an egg in there. That adds some protein. So does a tablespoon of Wheat Germ... *Yumm...* Now I am hungry for a milkshake...

  20. Welcome to all the new people posting on the trp17 forums. My profile says that I have been here for a few months, but with a busy work schedule and summer activities, etc, I have only really been posting since late August, or so. Hosting is great here. Better than most paid services, actually, as the posts above describe. Lots of Bandwidth available to use, too, if you select the second pkg. Welcome to the trap. Enjoy your stay.
  21. Man that's fast. Sure it will be available in 2008, but it will take some time before the technology filters down to us endusers. Don't expect that speed to become available to replace your current dial-up connection. That'll cost some big bucks to install and it won't come cheap.
  22. A cabbie picks up a nun.? She gets into the cab, and the cab driver won't stop staring at her.? She asks him why he is staring.?He replies: "I have a question to ask you, but I don't want to offend you."?She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me.? When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything.? I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."?"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."?She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that.? First, you have to be single, and second, you must be Catholic."?The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic!"?"Okay," the nun says.? "Pull into the next alley. ?We'll see what we can do."?The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush.? But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.?"My dear child," says the nun, "why are you crying?"?"Forgive me, but I've sinned.? I lied.? I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish."?The nun says, "That's okay.? My name is Kevin, and I'm going to a Halloween party."?
  23. kvarnerexpress;I am far from being an expert on tables, but I am wondering if the menu background is repeating itself to allow (on my screen anyways) the menu labels to display on two lines rather than one line only?I would try shortening the menu labels to something which will display on one line only to see if the black then goes away. At least you would know if this is what caused the problem. Or use some styling to get the existing menu labels to output onto one line is another option. Smaller font size for the menu labels, narrower spacing between characters, there are several ways to do this. If the menu labels are successfully output on one line only, and the black persists, then you have removed one possibility and can focus on the table as the culprit.Just an idea. Hope it helps.
