mikael fredriksson: <<joined the chat>>
Jim Smith: <<joined the chat>>
Donald McHose: <<joined the chat>>
Donald McHose: The host is missing !
Bob Nunn: I finally broke down and bought a copy of Claris Homepage. I
decided that I like it mostly.
Jim Smith: BN: Who will keep it up, Apple or FileMaker?
Bob Nunn: The site management sucks if you have more than a few pages.
FileMaker inherited it.
Donald McHose: Claris is great for a quick page ! Very mac like. But it
never was intended as a site management tool like Go Live!
Bob Nunn: It has the built in FMPRO commands. Was thinking about looking
into teaching it SPML.
Jim Leary: How much will this thing run when it is finalized. Do you know?
Donald McHose: Would that be specific tags?
Donald McHose: Question.Did any of the new servers break the ability to mail
to more than one addressee. dmchose@....,Bob_Nunn@head.... ect. at a single
time?
Bob Nunn: You can order it through one of the online services. I will send
you the info.
Donald McHose: using the TF client. I might add.
Bob Nunn: Don't know.
Donald McHose: K
Bill Gram-Reefer: <<joined the chat>>
Bill Gram-Reefer: hi
mikael fredriksson: I tried to call Rusty but only get the answering
machine... :(
Bob Nunn: Perhaps he is still celebrating Easter?
Donald McHose: Must be doing Brunch . Those California types
Bill Gram-Reefer: watch it, we only do brunch on sunny days
Bob Nunn: Don't know what happens but I periodically get a beach ball and it
never recovers. Probably my MIS group fiddling with the Firewall again.
Donald McHose: I think I'll go with the Lollipop. Bobs site works well with
it.In fact that's a good project tonight.
Bob Nunn: I do like it. You just have to make sure and not have it pull
during heavy traffic.
Bob Nunn: Script the prefs file as an application and use it to launch
Lollipop via the Mail Server scheduler
Bob Nunn: They log in. You will have to try mine sometime.
Bob Nunn: I think you have a log on in my system
Jim Smith: I have make a change, now testing on my system. It will read the
group file in the Lollipop (application) folder if not started with
document.
Donald McHose: thanks.
Jim Leary: How am I getting to my own mail
Jim Smith: There is a sample script in the docs., but you also need some
script additions. PPP stuff.
Daryl Hansen: <<joined the chat>>
Jim Smith: NO you want, you don't use PPP.
Donald McHose: No I do not use PPP. ;-)
Jim Smith: me also :-)))
Donald McHose: brb
Jim Smith: Well I do, but it in the hardware.
Bill Gram-Reefer: see you Friday, bye
Bill Gram-Reefer: <<left the chat>>
Daryl Hansen: <<left the chat>>
Bob Nunn: You will want to keep the amount of items down per group you pull,
Don especially to start.
Bob Nunn: I wish someone would have warned me.
Jim Smith: I should add that to the docs. Do you have any more gotyous?
Bob Nunn: Not sure. I will have to look at the log to see it. Will check
into it.
Bob Nunn: You kinda did Jim, but you didn't make it sound serious enough.
Jim Leary: <<left the chat>>
Bob Nunn: I had many groups I was pulling and didn't realize that setting it
for 100 per newsgroup would be a problem until I did it.
Bob Nunn: The old one seemed to pull arbitrary numbers regardless of the
settings. Yours actually does it.
Bob Nunn: I pull 25-50 on most smaller groups and 100 on main topics that I
care about.
Donald McHose: <<left the chat>>
Bob Nunn: The only other thing is that you use the same filenames on your
documentation that OAT uses and I have to rename them all to put up the
instructions on my web site. Not a biggy and not something that most people
probably do.
Jim Smith: Lollipop have same filename as OAT?
Bob Nunn: I think your folder name is documentation and your main page links
to everything in it. Same as OAT.
Bob Nunn: Not a big thing but if you get to redoing it?
Jim Smith: Yes, I used OAT as example. I think I will add 'Lollipop' to all
file/html names.
Jim Smith: Well I guess we may as well go, cu Friday.
Jim Smith: <<left the chat>>
Bob Nunn: The best thing would be to put everything in a folder named
Lollipop and put your main page name as homepage.html similar to what RT
does. You could put an alias of homepage.html outside the folder if you
think the user would have trouble. Later.
Bob Nunn: Never mind. See you Friday mikael.
