What happens when the user forgets their password?

They get slapped on the cheek, and sent to the KeePass website :-[

it shows how long it took the DC server to create and serve a page.  That will normally be < 1second.  If that is short and it took a long time for the page to load in your browser anyway, then you know the problem is not on our server but on the wider network.
That probably doesn't include the load-time of any graphics on the page, like embedded images and user-avatars. I get page times often between 0.02s and 0.04s, but the entire page can take up to 10 seconds to load. Mostly depending on the amount of graphics, IMHO.

Is this just for fun or are you trying to create another msn/skype/im platform with a new proprietary protocol?

Wasn't there a CSnack creating directories listed in a file? (no time to check right now)

3357
I'll pledge at least 1 from the Unfinished CSnacks section. (There's 1 I'm thinking about right now). And more if I can find a way to solve some more requests. I'll check that later this week (or weekend) and possibly re-pledge that one.

XSLT and FOP is useful for presenting (structured) data, generated elsewhere, not being produced/modified from a wordprocessor or something like it. So you're correct in selecting (LaTeX/Any document management system) for maintaining your docs.

It takes longer to start up from Hibernate on my netbook than doing a fresh boot. :-/
Still glad I didn't get one of those :o It's totally not worth the annoyance.

Okay, so I finally got some specs to compare to. I ended up building my sister a better machine for about $300 less than what the other person was trying to sell her. :Thmbsup:
Wanna share those final specs?

It looks like at first glance that that tool will require some serious configuration to convert an xml file to a nice output.

Sure would be nice to have something automated that maybe could read an xml file and make some reasonable assumptions in order to generate a nice looking layout.. or maybe use a kind of gui tool to let you configure the arrangements of fields for pretty printing..

Quess there is a tool for that already. Didn't look close lately (researched it a bit about 5 - 7 years ago), but I wouldn't start a project without finding all the tools for creating either FOP layouts or full-blown XSLT layouts.

3362
That's where XSLT comes in :)
It may be like using a hauler-truck to do the weekly shopping-mall trip, but hey, it's free: http://xmlgraphics.a...e.org/fop/index.html

3363
Oh, then I won't suggest the Microsoft toolchain then :P

3364
I'm working with an SQL database ...
What database platform (brand) are you working with?

Oh yes, that would make life much more enjoyable when browsing DC on a smartphone. The page numbers are really small when you try to hit them with your finger on the touchscreen

What if the existing donations system was leveraged to work both ways. So that donations between members are split (say 50/50) with the DC. So if say I gave 40Hz a $10 donation, he would actually get $5 and the other $5 would go to DC.

Granted it would have to be time limited and made very (very) clear as to why/what was happening. But it could be an interesting way of greasing all the wheels at one time (so-to-speak).

Great plan SJ, That would be a nice addition to the standard toolset of DonationCoder :Thmbsup:

This 'split-the-money' option could be a checkbox or percentage-slider (with a loud and clear label describing it's function), so anyone making a donation could split his/her money between the direct beneficiary and DC, where the slider would normally be at 100% user, 0% DC, and for the fund-raiser at 50/50.

3368
It would just be a mug available for purchase at that very high markup, so people who wanted to "donate" by buying it could.  Just another funny way to donate.

Oh, OK, then I'll prolly be aiming at that one :-*

3369
Perhaps for the fundraiser we could have a special mug or tshirt for those lucky and generous enough to be able to afford a large donation, that shows Cody's banker-looking Uncle (never before seen on a DC mug) sitting on top of a huge pile of his gold coins, thumbing through his bank book.

Cody's Uncle:

But you said earlier that the amount of donation doesn't matter... :-[ so this 'reward' should IMHO be a buy-only 'donation'-order?

I do like (to imagine) that image on a mug though :up:

« on: February 13, 2011, 02:01 PM »
I think it's decided: We are going to have a new front page!

Yay!

So, any more thoughts?

I'd vote for a group of top 5/top 10's, as suggested above, displaying newest forum messages, DC software updates, completed Coding Snacks, updated NANY entries, Blog posts, etc.

So, I take it that you're up for learning Mandarin or Urdu? :D

It's all Greek to me :tellme:

I welcome our new 1-byte-character-set overlords.

Assuming their bytes are sized 16 of our bits, all would be just fine ;)

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Looked at both tools mentioned (so far), but haven't found how they would launch windows, specified in their sets, if not opened/running yet.

You could have gotten a better shave that mornin' :huh:
