News items of casual interest.
Audio:
Tonight, Tuesday August 3rd 1999, at 6:00 pm pacific, 8:00 pm central, 9:00 pm eastern time, 1:00am GMT, Jeff Gerhardt is having his internet audio show, 'The Linux Show!!'. Listen at www.TTalk.com. On the show: 'Linux notables such as Matthew Cunningham from the Linux Journal, Dan Yocum from Fermi Labs, Kara Pritchard in the chat room, Denzil from Tucows, and who knows who else may join us.'
Leo Comitale pointed me to a CRN Radio link where they talk about 'why Linux is overhyped and not ready for the enterprise.' Real Audio is required for the link above.
Hardware:
Rob Kennedy (from Linuxberg) asked me to mention that Linksys now has a Linux support page for their NICs and Modems. Neat. As I type this, my Linksys Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard is sending the bits across the network. Rob also mentioned that they now have 16 different backend files to choose from.
...from around the web
Robert Current wrote in about another website called 'Micro Unix News'. The server is apparantly having trouble, but you can still access it at this temporary link. It looks like it could be a huge resource for small newsitems about tiny unices.
Software
Fred Steinberg says that Calcium 2.1 is available. It 'provides configurable, web-based interactive calendars, with too many features to list. Calcium runs and stores all your calendars on your machine, not somewhere out on the net.' He has an on-line demo, or you can go straight to the website to download your copy.
Noah F. San Tsorbutz mentioned that 'the cool new Zope logo is in place along with a general refresh of the look and feel of the entire site. Of course this is all done with the object oriented advantages of Zope and Python, Zope's parent language. In other words, thay probably added the mouse-over as a menu property in a single template, and the entire site inherited the behavior instantly. CGI is dead, long live PCGI!'
