Re: Another PLEAC question

Hi Alex, indeed. For now I'll leave this one out and put it on a todo list. Please have a look if the rest in that section is ok! I could get hold of a copy of the Perl Cookbook and saw there that there are some useful extras for each problem. I'll add that in order to make the whole thing frie

Re: GitHub sold out to Microsoft

the problem with self hosting is rising costs and risk, you assume the maintenance of the whole system and the cost of keeping it alive while a platform perform those tasks for you so IMHO is better to go for a FS platform and company if that is important too A platform with a big infrastructure w

Hi Arie, > For now I'll leave this one out and put it on a todo list. Yes, this is better. I do even think that you don't need to put it onto the todo list, as it is not a very helpful example. > Please have a look if the rest in that section is ok! Yes. The rest of datesandtimes.html I have c

http://tinycorelinux.net/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_Core_Linux TinyCore is a nice little virtual environment I have used to sandbox picolisp projects. I use it with virtual box and run them headless. Easy to mount external filesystems, ssh in, etc. /Lindsay On Wed, Jun 6, 2018 at 5:51 A
