It's a GNU/Linux - Domino specific configuration question.

Jeff,

I really appreciate your knowlege, however it's not giving me any 
information I need to know. I don't think I've made my question clear.

My frustration is that all documentation (that I have seen) on how to set 
up ODBC for Domino is for Lotus Domino under Windows, and I was wondering 
if anyone has done this under Linux?

Thanks heaps.

I'm pretty sure most of the Free databases have ODBC modules; PostgreSQL
(which I heartily recommend) certainly does. It works well from Access and
MSSQL.

No, it syncs with my palm pilot and/or phone as well.  Basically
it's a serial cable without the cable.

Well these don't have any features apart from a nice black cable,
black case, black window like every other IR thingo since 1980, 4
little rubber feet and some self-adhesive velcro so you can stick it
where you like.

Well the theory is that ODBC is ODBC, so it shouldn't
matter what your coming from and going to.

The reality I suspect falls a little short of the ideal.

But, suck it and see -- there are odbc client and server bits
available under linux.

[SLUG] Domino under Linux

G'day all,

Does anyone know if Lotus Domino, running under Linux, can connect to 
other databases? (Specifically, relational databases.)

I know it can connect via ODBC under Windows, unsure about Linux.

BTW, does ODBC only refer to a Windows paradigm?

Hi,

Many motherboards have IR pins built in, all you need is something to
plug into them, I bought an ActiSys IR210 one from www.widget.com.au
(now $87), but you have to check whether your motherboard's IR chip is
supported by linux.  Easier is an IR dongle which plugs into your
serial port, I think ActiSys IR220+ ($99) has its own kernel module
in the source.

I need a card which can do infrared and is ok for Linux

Anybody got any pointers?

You can remove specific ones using tr:

cat root.tdh | tr -d '\015'

Would remove all ^M chars from the output...

see http://www.encypher.net/ascii/ for an ascii table. (Sorry for the
poor contrast, must fix that some time)

Check tr -d.  You might also want to use -c.

Don't forget that ^J is NL, which you probably want to keep.

[SLUG] transparency scanner (slides and negatives)

2003-01-12 Thread Graeme Robinson
Faced with a task (450+ slides to scan) and finding no-one who'll do it
for less than $1.50 a slide I've decided to obtain a slide scanner (that
also handles 35mm negative).

I've found the list of sane supported scanners here:
http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-backends.html
and & more USB here:
http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html

Searching the archives I can't find much discussion on transparency 
scanners. Do any SLUGers have one? Any feedback or recommendations 
appreciated - thanks in advance.

Oh, and if you've got one you want to sell me second hand I'm also 
interested!
