I often check the health of the forum, but don't see so many of the posts ... This one did get my attention though :-P I also find that link quite amusing... And at the time (it is well over a decade old), there were prospective employers who did not like it due to the fact that they felt that it wa...

Then it Dawned on Me Maybe the File size was Too Big? So I Checked the Allowed eXtensions and Sizes, & theyAlso the Last Time I Logged On 2 the Forum w/ a Different Browser that I Previously hadn't Saved Me Authentication On it gave Me a Warning that "This Connection isn't Secure. Logins e...

There were some issues with the old server, so I had to upgrade in a hurry.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hey, You guys are right :-( Someone was exploiting a a flaw on a diagnostic page and pretty much killing the server ... Why do people even do this ? I guess this has been going for a week :-( I have disabled the offending functionality and I believe it is fixed. Please let me know how it is now. For...

Yes it has been like that for at least a week.

Thanks again....Chris.

Some tweaks still to go

Thanks for all the appreciation

The forum was a bit laggy ...
This was due to a couple of issues with the config.

I think I have addressed the issues and will check again in the evening.

Enjoy

Hey, BTW: Just out of curiosity, what's happened to the Flash ad in the top right corner? I believe some people reckoned it gave them occasional rendering/connection problems..? It was removed ... They had not paid out for a long time, but their sponsorship was effectively funding the forum for the ...

Thank you.

Great to hear

Mail issues have just been solved too.

Hopefully it'll all be good now.

Hey, Apologies for the DNS propagation issues, hopefully they only last a few hours. I had to re-import the database thus loosing about a dozen posts made since the upgrade. I apologize to those affected. Basically I have had to hack my way around a couple of issues running the forum software on mod...

Hi,

The forum will be read only for a few hours tomorrow as it's moved to a new server with a new provider.
Hopefully most of you will see an improvement when this work is complete.

Have a great day

Hi, Took a look at the posts and I can only apologize for not acting earlier ... Even though it was Flash who acted anyway ;-) I did tend an olive branch out to mama21mama ... Trying to explain that lack of respect towards others is unacceptable. However, both myself and the forum were victims of a ...

I disabled mama21mama's account and removed his signature so our forum doesn't point to anything of his. Also I removed some of what appeared to me to be the worst of his posts. I might have left some that are clearly objectionable to someone who speaks Spanish. All hands on deck for another attack...

OK ... I could not stop myself, and played with it today. Used the tweaked debain build here : http://www.raspbian.org/PiscesImages Everything I did on the command line was pretty OK ... Everything in X seemed pretty slow. I just realized that the old USB charger I was using for power was very under...

My Rasp arrived yesterday ...

Hopefully I'll get play with it at the weekend

Sorry

Symbian has never been Linux ...
And in fact pre-dates it by a wide margin in the form of EPOC (which I did some coding for a long time ago).

Last time I checked HDMI to VGA adapters cost more than a PI Not all of them - there's a bog std. one for a couple of quid in the CPC catalogue if you've got time to search it out. If you're desperate, I can look up the code from past orders and PM it. Later: sorry, can't find it - must've been a t...

Unless you are going to sit ontop of your tv the HDMI cables arent cheap either. Suppose you could have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to compensate. Once again extra cost. Never had a problem with my $5 HDMI cables from ebay/amazon ... The new TV came with a $60 cable ("free"), and it do...

talk on irc this morning of a daughter-board already planned with sata and a couple of extra mem card 'slots' it's already got hdmi so using a hdmi to vga convertor should work ok. Don't think it is so easy. You may be able to get a cable with the connectors, but this is only for special hardware t...

What the PI has : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_video Thanks...I have the yellow and two other plugs, which I believe are audio. Guess I'll get on the waiting list and watch the progress here. Yup, you can get a headphone jack to twin RCA cable to connect those up too, should also be a cou...

Yes, but what can I do with it if I buy one? Can it run Puppy? By the time you get it, you should be able to yes, right now it would be Fedora or Debian. Can I use it with a TV card? You can use it with a TV card (to see the output on your PC) But if you mean use a TV card with it, to record/view T...
