). Too early for the hippie/free-love/drugs genres, but that was when rock 'n roll was really getting started (although I was mostly for jazz & classical), and there weren't eleventy-seven legalities in the way if you decided you wanted to do something. A decent car in the US was ~$3,000, and I can recall my parents' laments when cigarettes and gasoline both went from $0.21 pack/gallon to $0.25 pack/gallon, and my dad's customers' wails when a cup of coffee went from $0.05 to $0.10

. I don't expect anyone to offer a personal comment, just wanna know they got the damned thing - and in the process know that I didn't screw up by hitting the wrong button - not that that's likely, of course 
- just a kind of validation/insurance that is system-generated, not dependent upon human frailties (i.e. not dependent upon another [possible] old mind 
).. The profile shows credits donated, but not an acknowledgement they were received. I don't mean to be horsey about this, but I'd like to see something indicating that epluribus received those credits, regardless of any response, or lack thereof, from epluribus. There will always be glitches, whether human or software, and it would be nice to have some reassurance that the donee actually received the donation. I know I made it, I just want to know that it was received . Well, and also a reaffirmation that I sent it where it was meant to go . If I got fat-fingered, I could have sent to the wrong person. I'd not rescind that, of course, but I might need to resend it (cranioscopical, don't you dare ), paying a bit more attention to where it was sent (see former comment in re old minds )..]But did you know that if you go to your Profile page, look under "Donation Credits" for Recent Activity link, and you will see exactly how much you sent and received as well as to/from whom and when.-mouser (February 27, 2012, 01:53 PM)
. Seems as though old minds are also subject to hoof-in-mouth disease .Probably the best success for imaging is using a tool that does it offline rather than while Windows is running -at least then you aren't relying on any software to maintain consistency.-Carol Haynes (February 27, 2012, 11:16 AM)
. A system acknowledgement to the effect of, "epluribus has received your donation," would let me know I sent to the correct person, and in the case of that two (2) week beach visit, remind me that I had done so - old minds can lose track of things, ya know ?

?). Obviously, these are not all updated at the same time - a near logistical impossibility - but the local ones are updated weekly, and the off-site ones are updated monthly. It was an expensive start - five (5) 2T drives were not cheap, e$pecially when I started 
- but, barring disk image [software] failures, as previously noted, this system has saved my butt more than once. (And a coupla times when I didn't have Internet access .)
. I haven't yet tried to take ownership of the files, mostly because I'm uncertain what I'd need to own , but I suppose that's the next step. Since these files have been moved from the old Dell drive, they're prolly earmarked with a different server/username and that obviously was not altered by the transferal . On the location front, I'd already been bitten by the location bug, so I did a custom path install instead of the typical Windows install . ). So now I'm manually transferring a number of items to the Gateway that were on the Dell."connection was reset" can mean either that something prevented you from connecting, or that your server request errored and died, so it might be worth checking the apache error log to eliminate that possibility. It might give you a good hint to look at the access log as well and see if your server receives the requests or not, that eliminates a lot of possibilities if we know which-iphigenie (February 18, 2012, 02:19 AM)

.You might wanna clean the cooling on that laptop, just to keep it alive a bit longer. Should also end the false-reporting issues with HDS.-Ath (February 04, 2012, 03:48 AM)
, been that way since day one (1), and their supposed support contract was useless - they basically ignore[d] assistance requests. However, I did check the fan, then bought a cooling stand for it. Right now, Coretemp reports CPU @183F ... in an hour or two, HDS will report the drive to be failing, scant hours left to save data. Then I shut it down ~15 min and start all over.. Reporting software is good to have, but it can only give indications, not surety. . Doesn't keep me from makin' 'em, but I don't have any real confidence in 'em .. On the other hand, as soon as that drive arrives, it's switch time. Then I can rehouse the suspect drive, see how it does in a standalone enclosure. But the physical aspect of replacing that drive with arthritic hands could be a major challenge . Who knows, might even end up with spare storage .

. . I'll be back to mention if it works at all, much less on XP or Win7/64..]. This should not be a major effort for him . So what I'm trying to do is to find a generator that will allow him to maintain - as closely as possible - this style of calendar w/o having to directly edit the page code. And I really don't want - don't have time! - to write it myself.. So, while I'm testing these suckers one (1) by one (1), I thought to ask here if anyone knows of something kinda, sorta relevant. It could be a standalone, installable application (as long as it produces Web code) or it could be a script that I could incorporate into his site (not publicly available, of course). The site is basically PHP with HTML inserts, so anything producing that kind of output should be fairly easy to implement - I hope . (I'd also like to provide links from the calendar to specific class enrollment pages, but that's not a primary concern at this point.)I just do not see *nix on a tablet, Android notwithstanding.-barney (February 02, 2012, 01:26 AM)
That's like saying, "I just don't see Microsoft on the desktop, Windows notwithstanding." Android is Linux at its core.-zridling (February 02, 2012, 09:34 AM)
. But creation is difficult at best . A simple email is tedious, an extended email is difficult. Any other creative effort is well nigh impossible. And HUD does nothing to alleviate that. In general, a HUD is supposed to allow you to consume certain important data without significantly distracting you from the task at hand. So it makes sense in vehicles, e.g., aircraft, automobiles (although successful implementation there seems a long way off). And HUD as currently implemented works fine on PCs. (Although we don't call it HUD , we call it pop-ups, alerts, alarms.) But the implementation Mr. Mark seems to propose flies in the face of any such usage w/o providing any discernible benefit (at least, that I can see ).
