Yes, and could you please have a box for "Puppy Projects", or at least instructions to people how to add one (that is, if they do a remaster).I am currently crawling the puppy sites for more good links
Thanks for your efforts!

background image - initially chosen because I loath figuring out color schemes to work with the background so I switched background till it looked decent. This is no longer an issue with most versions of puppy since I switched the default background and text color (white on black versus black on white) -however 4.1a6 default.jpg does not play nice (I left the background black for this reason and it actually looked nice - but then again I am a minimalist) - that version is the most updated and is at:
http://pupweb.org/desktop/
I am adding as many puppy links as possible and will update with default background set now that I switched the color scheme.
I haven't decided on the best "add your puplet link" since there are forum threads, wikki articles and sites to actually upload them - leaning toward the wikki - maybe this icon should be called "puppy breeders" though?
the black on white version with default background is at http://www.openplatformeducation.org/homeb.html

Hiya Tech!
YES!! I much prefer the second (html) version over the former (htm) anytime! And I guess that's really odd too especially seeing where my Puppy 4.00 and Parsix are both running the "Nokoda-Midnight" theme engine (now) which turns regular onboard app's backgrounds, like ROX-Filer, EmelFM2, Leafpad, et al, a nice lite-black! (And that really IS "Lite-Black" and not "grey" despite my colourblindness. hehe!)
This second one, to me anyway, looks great 'nuff "as-is" Tech that I could even run it as a browser's homepage totally without a background pic.
Hmm... Gives me an idea...
Great work mate!
Amicalement/Cheers!

EDIT #1: DUH! Do I feel like I nutcase Tech! I just realised something!---IF I'd test these pages out on my Puppy partition I'd be MUCH better off as then I'd see the backgrounds, images, yada, yada... I feel like such an OAF! Beam me up Scotty!

Hi technosaurus,
You can use this link to search the puppylinux.ca server
http://www.puppylinux.ca/Website/node/7
This will not only search my server but a future mirror which will be very fast.
Best,
Eric

new "testing" page for those withe decent connection speeds is at
http://www.openplatformeducation.org/pupweb.html
This will replace the original version if no major issues are reported
I have updated to the latest version with better? graphics and some updated links
- since there have been so many requests for search pages, I will be building a separate page with the search code for all of them embedded into the page - to include all previous requests and the generic searches. I will experiment with adding them to the page directly as well.

Hi technosaurus
good job
minor glitch:
app suites/google apps / zoho
hovering over google apps & zoho cause extra tail to appear on rhs
typo in favourites: 'beyound this line......' remove u
Can you add Fastmail?
Will you be adding earlier versions to the bottom box? i.e. 3.01 & 2 series?
Other than that I would get used to clicking the bottom row icon links to open new tab, but is this possible, instead of it replacing this window/using back button?
else - good stuff

WOW Tech! That's awesome! Now that one (linked above) can be bookmarked and used by me regardless the distro that I'm in!
Out of curiosity: Are you planning on leaving this at that link on a more or less permanent basis? Or are you just leaving it there on a test basis only? I ask because it would make a nice start page for my browsers. I've already done so for a couple in Puppy by running the page from a subdirectory, see? Yet this way I could across my 4 distros. Would be nice in case others would like doing so as well. I hope they will!
Either way Tech, this is just fabulous work on your behalf. It really is! You might want to let Lobster, or WhoDo, know that you're doing this as well and maybe they could supply a link to it from the Puppy website and from the Wiki? Just an idea anyway.
Amicalement/Cheers!

fastmail.fm added - I didn't get a url - hope this was the right one
typo corrected
fixed tag on Zoho apps
puppy 2 & 3 - this comes directly from one of the help pages included in Dingo (as does the program list)- if versions 2 & 3 have them as well then sure
Current work - ETA this weekend:
Presentation apps to menu and as icon...
Flowchart Icon...
RSS Reader Icon...
Embed additional search boxes (previously requested as links, but why click twice when once will do?)

ftp account
I've PM's technosaurus about an FTP account. If he uses it, it will have the URL
http://pupweb.org/desktop
My suggestion:
The link to puplets (breeders) tries to add a puplet but gets an error. Maybe use this URL instead, and in that page, an "add your puplet" URL should be provided (technosaurus or another member can do this).

Gotcha - I moved around the icons so that the suites are on the left - It is a submenu for individual apps - it should now pop out to the right.
I also added several categories and finally figured out how to stretch the background.
That should get rid of the "tail" - must be a bulldog puppy
Plan to move to http://pupweb.org/desktop this weekend if all goes well.

Okie, now I'm a person with only a 50% functional brain here (true---that's not one of my more infamous jokes), and so I tend to get very easily confused. Sorry about that! I take it what you're saying then Techno is that the webpage itself, the one we could use as a homepage/jumping off page, will be at that new URL?
Again, I apologise for bugging you as I realise this drags you away from the more important items which need doing.
Thank you Kind Sir!---and still what marvelous work you've achieved here! Beautiful!!

Hey, Tech
Excellent, well moved in the gotcha
Blindingly good resource, thanks
There's a few more here you might like to consider, if you can keep it tidy
http://www.investintech.com/resources/b ... tives.html
And linux online is quite useful

PS btw your online link to this post doesn't have the 'vote'

exactly - sorry for the confusion - i couldn't logon to the ftp server yet but as soon as I can it will be at that address - also, when it is fully updated, I will include a link to the latest downloadable .tgz (or .pet) version (using local images) in the favorites menu for those wishing to use it in their remaster.
Aitch
Thanks for the resources- I'll add them to the Q
which brings up a side note - I keep adding apps, some of which I have never personally used, so if any of them provide no real added value or it starts to get too bloated let me know that as well

ftp
As I understand it, the FTP's URL should be ftp.servage.net, login technosaurus, password (see my PM).
I have no FTP service here now, but should be able to test it this evening not later than GMT12:00.

its already posted - I didn't have ftp access till I got home either. Anyhow many thanks Raffy (PMed ya btw)
I'm currently working on search boxes from the sites everyone has suggested. I have them working - just trying to keep the look of a desktop instead of a web page.
Next step is to add sites from all of these lists of web apps while trying to stay under 10 per category - may need to split some categories or add some new ones so we don't get any more "tails" (I guess I've got it looking so much like a desktop people forget they have scroll bars)
Way back on the back burner is finding a decent looking background with a smaller file size to speed up the load times (any suggestions?)
Thanks to everyone for all of the suggestions - your input has allowed us to have the best web apps (or "rich internet applications") collection around as far as I can tell. Virtually every link on the web page came from another member of our community in some way, shape or form. I appreciate the patience everyone has had while I have done all of my tweaking and renaming etc... Thanks to Raffy, http://pupweb.org/desktop/ will be its new and hopefully permanent home and you won't have to suffer through testing some of my extremely bad ideas (only the really bad ones)
