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!’
