only have one week of Leo experience but I already know it will be my
default IDE/project manager. I have seen several old threads on
c.l.python where people complain about the lack of a project manager
for the free/standard Python IDE's like Idle. Leo clearly solves that
problem and in a way that commercial tools can't touch -- Marshall
Parsons What is Leo? ------------ - A programmer's editor, an outlining

Microsoft: Because Bugs are Cool

one percent' call volume in relation to bugs. He also blames the users
lack of knowledge as a cause of some of these bugs. He goes on to say
that the feeling of frustration that people hold towards bugs is a
sociological issue, rather than technical saying that people complain
about software bugs 'Because it's cool.' Read more in this

Internet-Created Free Audio Dramas?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/1650215
[0]fraser_joat asks: "The other day I finally took the time to watch
[1]Starship Exeter, previously [2]reported on Slashdot. Coincidentally,
I also revisited the [3]BBC's excellent radio adaptation of The Lord Of
The Rings, following the hype caused by the recent [4]movies. The two
of these got me thinking: while _Exeter_ was clearly a huge effort, it
looks like they had a lot of fun making it. In many ways they are
scratching the same sort of itch that generates free software. So what
about audio drama? The technology needed to produce it is freely
available, things like [5]Ardour and [6]Csound. So is it possible to
produce an audio drama based on free texts such as those from
[7]Project Gutenberg in a distributed fashion, with contributers from
all across the Net, just like with software? Would they even be useful
as an introduction to classic fiction or just as pure entertainment?"

a cached entry can be kept before expiring. Then, just call the get
method of the instance of CacheIt and caching happens automatically.

SuSE8.1 installation test failures for Mysql modul
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/2151208
I have installed slash test sites on debian a few times before, but now
I'm trying to install a permanent site on SuSE8.1 I'm having problems
installing Bundle::Slash - MIME, Mysql modules & libapreq are all
failing their tests. I'm installing Bundle::Slash within a perl shell.
I'll concentrate on Mysql module here. I'm no perl expert (not even a
perl beginner), but it seems to be a problem with lib.pl in testing the
Mysql module. At line 253 & 254, my build complains about these 2
lines with "Illegal character in prototype for main::ErrMsgF : @_ at
t/lib.pl line 254" Here's the lines, what's wrong with them ? If
they're wrong, how come they're in the bundle ? sub ErrMsg (@_) { print
(@_); } sub ErrMsgF (@_) { printf (@_); } There's also a warning during
the "perl Makefile.PL" phase about CAPI & PL_FILES which I don't
understand either. " WARNING: CAPI is not a known parameter. WARNING:
PL_FILES takes a hash reference not a array reference. Please inform
the author. " Again, if the code is wrong, why is it bundled as a
stable release ? I suspect that my problems are just a side effect of
something else....can anyone out there point me in the right direction?
I have a build log if anyone needs to see it. thanks!
Nou la SURSE.RO
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/17/1851222
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I started my own slash-site,
targeted at the Romanian audience. The site is intented to be a
Romanian version of Slashdot, but focus falls on local stories.
Enabling Comment Counting on Main Screen
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/19/1746215
Just installed Slash to support an internal project at work - sorry,
site is not visible from the Net. I can't work out how to add the
"comments counter" after the "Read More ... " link. I searched this
site and the mailing list archive at sourceforge with no success. I
know that it is probably something simple, but I can't find it. Can
anyone help? --Paul Barry
Discussion Posts
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/1753223
So here's the deal - I've got my site up and running and everything is
looking and working fine. Except for one thing that could mean the
whole project falls apart. So we all know stories need to be approved
before they are posted, right? So, we have discussions which don't
(necessarily) require approval before they can be published, hence
providing the lay-user an opportunity to create 'posts' to a Discussion
Board. However, it looks as if when I post a discussion, it is only
displayed in my user profile and is not listed in the 'Active
Discussions' list. To create somewhat of a bulletin board, I'd like to
be able to have all user discussions appear in that list of active
discussions. I've noticed the same thing happens here with Slashcode
too. Can it be changed? And if so, how?
ICANNWatch Converts to Slash
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/1741245
It's sort of been mentioned before, but ICANNWatch.org -- a site
devoted to chronicles and critiques of the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers -- has converted from PHP Nuke 4.2 to Slash.
Whether or not this item gets published, we'd like to be added to the
list of slash sites. And of course, if you are interested in the future
of the Internet you may want to visit us to find out what ICANN is up
to. Or, you might want to read our first month's status report.
Scoop 2 Slash conversion script?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/17/1846259
I've seen lots of requests going the other way, and there are some
tools for that, but does anyone have a scoop to slash conversion kit of
some sort? I've decided that scoop hosting isn't viable, and while we
will continue to host scoop sites for our existing customers, we are
now trying to get people to move in the slash direction, and are
offering free extensions to customers who will drop scoop.
Lifetime karma
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/15/2021220
I just read this interview (flamebait/insightful, depending on your
view of a certain GWB) with Kurt Vonnegut, now 80 years. Seems he's
earned quite a bit of karma in his years. That's how I got this idea:
Presuming succesful slashsites might last for decades, it would be a
further motivation to keep writing good commentary and just generally
interesting if, in addition to the active karma value (with the cap),
there would also be a separate "total karma earned", or lifetime karma
which would not have a cap and would be an integer value rather than a
descriptive value.
External Authentication
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/14/1733212
I have an existing registration system on a website that I would like
to also deploy slash on. In order to do this, I need to be able to use
my existing database for authentication. It is MySQL driven. In
searching I have seen that some have been successful letting Apache
authenticate and then passing the username to the program. I imagine if
that is possible, it could also be done with cookies, but I am
guessing. Has anyone else crossed this bridge already? If yes, would
you mind sharing the patches? If no, does anyone have any advice on the
best way I should proceed. Thank you, Mitchell
Slash on Mac OS X - Undefined Symbols again
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/13/1733208
Hi, I am fairly new to Mac OS X and Slash so please apologise any
stupidities. I've been trying to install Slash on Mac OS X for 2 days
now and after resolving any Fink and firewall and Perl 5.8.0 issues am
nearly there. There's just this one tiny module that still has
undefined Symbols: Apache::Slash::User: > perl -MSlash::Apache::User
dyld: perl Undefined symbols: _ap_add_module _ap_find_linked_module
_ap_null_cleanup _ap_palloc _ap_register_cleanup _ap_remove_module
_perl_clear_symtab _perl_cmd_perl_FLAG _perl_cmd_perl_TAKE1
_perl_cmd_perl_TAKE2 _perl_get_startup_pool _perl_perl_cmd_cleanup I've
tried deleting the directories in /Library/Perl and reinstalling Slash
but to no avail. I installed Perl according to the HOWTO at Apple's and
it seems to work fine, installing a slash site worked perfectly well, I
just can't start neither apache nor slashd. Any ideas? Thanks,
christian
