Club Linux Coffs Harbour

My studious partner wants to listen to a Latin podcast on her audio player. She has a bit of catch up to do, there are hundred probably thousands of mp3 files to download. Now I know there are all kinds of graphical download plugins and managers I could use but I prefer something a bit quicker and more simple.

Competent all-rounder required for support of web-based CRM system and multiple company websites for Coffs Harbour based company. As some work may be required on an in-house server a local is preferred but not absolutely necessary.

Could some kind soul explain the steps in changing from Evolution mail to Thunderbird, Please, and without losing emails.

Thank you in advance 

Decent web hosting at a price is difficult. There's no shortage of competition on price, but the 'decent' bit seems quite a bit harder.

Low priced hosting is shared hosting. That means you get, typically, a share of an Apache server, usually with quite a few other people, maybe hundreds.

First of all, a big HELLO to all of you at Club Linux! It's great to still receive the monthly meeting notices and get and idea of what you're up to, and if I'm ever back over that way, like a bad smell I'm sure to turn up again. :)

It's been a while, I know, but you see I've been busy...

I've always been annoyed by slow websites, and even more annoyed by full page refreshes in the browser just to get something you didn't really want to see anyway. So, out with the AJAX!

A bit over a year ago now, I started a project to get my openPC Labs website improved before updating it. I'm afraid it's still not updated because in the process things developed into something much bigger.

I wanted to use AJAX techniques for the site to get the responsiveness I yearned for. I also wanted to fix up the navigation so that the location bar, history and bookmarks would work.

At the time, there was very little support for browser navigation in AJAX. I stumbled on one system called Really Simple History. It was open source, but a bit buggy and a bit too slow for me, I just didn't feel comfortable with the way it was done.

So I started to roll my own..... BIG mistake.... just over a year later I might be able to start updating openPC Labs!

To cut a long story short, Xanjax and xanjax.org were born.

Yes, That quick!  My previous backyard ISP, a local unit of odd fellows that had no idea what service meant, shut me down on the 6 july.  I rang Optus and fiddled around with them until they finally stuffed everythig up causing me to cancel my request.

 

Optus sent me a letter which I recieved on 27 July, it was post marked 26 July and the letter was dated the 24 July The letter stated, amongst other things, that if there were any changes to my request for boradband to contact them prior to the 24 July.  Hmmmm! 

 

I've just had a friend ask me about webcams, which I've never used before. This document claims "many cameras work out-of-the-box". Does anybody have any real world experience with this? Brands of hardware to recommend or avoid? I notice Ubuntu has Video4Linux installed by default, and a great big button marked "Detect devices" in the Ekiga video preferences dialog. Is it really that easy?

I found this link on slashdot or somewhere like it. It shows some tweaks you can make to firefox.

The most important one to me was making FF quicker. I've pasted this one in here.

12) Speed up Firefox. If you have a broadband connection (and most of us do), you can use pipelining to speed up your page loads. This allows Firefox to load multiple things on a page at once, instead of one at a time (by default, it’s optimized for dialup connections). Here’s how:

There is a possibility that I will be involved in setting up a web forum. I'm doing some research so that I can at least assess proposals and make some.

So far, it looks to me as though Simple Machines Forum is the best software to use. I am perplexed over the issue of hosting.

I would appreciate any thoughts anyone can offer.
