Announcing uvCalendar.org
Dan Grover, the remarkable Hartford High school senior who put on a great demonstration at the August DLSLUG Nifties meeting, has just released a new web site, uvCalendar.org, a calendar of Upper Valley activities. A slick site, it's written in LAMP and aggregates a number of different sources into a single web site, and offers RSS and email notifications. Pretty slick stuff! Learn more about Dan at http://www.dangrover.com/ Bill McG: you may want to look at where Dan is getting his calendar announcements, and consider whether DLSLUG should post there.

Re: Perl include question
Dan Coutu [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Piece of cake. You need to use the FindBin module that is included in the default Perl distribution. Do this: #!/usr/bin/perl use FindBin qw($Bin); use lib $Bin; use myinclude; This assumes that your module is named myinclude.pm and is in the same directory as your perl script. I was just about to make this same recommendation. We've got hundreds of thousands of lines of perl code here at work, and this is where I first discovered the FindBin module. We use it extensively here, and probably wouldn't be able to do things nearly as easily without it. Almost every script we write has: use FindBin; use lib /build/perl/lastrun/lib; use lib $FindBin::Bin/../../../perl/lib; use lib $FindBin::Bin; It's really nice to not have to worry about your modules not being found :) -- Seeya, Paul ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

emacs does everything [ was: Re: F/OS the blind ]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Is this simply an emacs script Is what simply an emacs script? Technically, there are no emacs scripts. There are .el files, which, for lack of a better analogy, are like 'include' files. Each .el module loaded into emacs (usually via your .emacs file, but not necessarilly) extends emacs somehow, providing you with a new set of functions, variables, and/or key-bindings to do neat and wonderful things. The two .el files I linked to in the e-mail both extend emacs in different ways. One provides functionality to make coffee over the network, provided you actually have compliant hardware. The other is nothing more than a timer to let you know when your tea is done. There are (possibly) more modules for extending emacs than there are debian packages and perl modules combined :) -- Seeya, Paul ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
