Hey, you should get on CodeCall again! You just disappeared all of the sudden!

A sad day... Every time I drive by the pasture I look into the field but there are no goats.

To be honest even in Ubuntu I don't install that much software. There's a small selection of packages that I must have installed (Thunderbird, Pidgin, OOo and various programming tools) but aside from that there's not much I need.

I used to install new IDEs all the time when I first started using Linux, but I'm pretty much settled on Code::Blocks for C++ and Bluefish for HTML/CSS/JS. What I've not found yet is a text editor that suits me. Gedit's autotab infuriates me, mousepad doesn't appear to do syntax highlighting and I don't want to install the KDE libraries just to use Kate. I've found myself using vim more and more but I miss a tabbed interface.

How are you getting on with StartCom? Are you missing Gentoo yet?

Love your website. What's Tcl like?

Your telling me! We should start an alliance

Oh, yeah. That. That's just my way of dealing with incredible boredom while I'm supposed to be doing my homework.

Hi debtboy - vpolink.com is the baby belonging to Derrick (our Lord and Master) I'm part of the admin / management team for that group (forums, emails, IRC).
my own site is phillw.net - although only mgjuddltd.phillw.net is populated (unless Derrick has been 'playing' on it).

Really...that's not something I hear often. Unless you're referring to my habit of pranking the people I care about.

I've created the new sub-domain & will get code & stuff transferred over as soon as I can. I've got my Dad's works computer to re-install with XP on tuesday .... It's done well - 2 years without a re-instal ;-)
Whilst I'd dearly love to transfer it over to ubuntu, the parts cd's etc, come in windoze format & the parcel carrier only accepts IE as a browser - the parcel carrier has nearly got the firefox version working now & their help desk are so, so looking forward to it supporting it !!!

the source-code & tutorial for the search part is now on vpolkink http://www.vpolink.com/showthread.php?t=2310

Phill.

What do you suggest me to do?
