Here's wishing everyone a very happy 2007!!!

Big Site Changes!

Sat, 12/30/2006 - 03:19 — sgrover

You've probably noticed some of the changes to the site. (hint, the background color is no longer a light brown... :) )

New Year, and time for a new look. So, I have created a custom theme that better suits my eyes. I find a dark background is MUCH easier on my eyes than the standard white background. Now if I can just get word to everyone else out there that uses a white background... er.. not likely.

The end is near!

I have received word that LinuxWorldNet is going down. This is a sad loss. You can read more about this on the home page for LinuxWorldNet.

Crossing Borders with JavaScript

IBM has posted a nice article regarding JavaScript and it's capabilities.

Bash Script Menus and Functions

Sat, 12/30/2006 - 00:27 — sgrover

After a brief DNS issue, we are back online. In addition, I'm back to coding again.

So, without further delay, let's get back on topic here. :)

One of the many things I've been doing lately is writing some bash scripts to automate server installs. I've based my scripts on the instructions found at http://howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.10. I had need to do this multiple times, and got irritated with entering the commands over and over and over. So I wanted to let the computer do it for me - afterall, that's what they're for aren't they?

Almost coding related

Sat, 12/30/2006 - 00:27 — sgrover

So I'm pushing hard trying to get servers in place and operational for our new office. These servers will help support my coding efforts. But in the process of looking for the "right" solution for these servers, I came across two tools that are very helpful, and almost are on the periphery of any programmers minds...

The two tools are:

Here's what makes them noteworthy:

I wish I could code again...

The last month has been busy. Unfortunately not enough of that time has been spent on programming. So, I haven't really had any juicy topics to tell you about. The next bit looks promising though, so I should have more for you shortly.

Get Involved with Open Office!

Sat, 12/30/2006 - 00:26 — sgrover

I received notice today that Open Office is holding a competition for templates and clipart. They are inviting anyone who has an interest to take part. You can find the details at http://documentation.openoffice.org/.

Website Authentication - Part 3

Sat, 12/30/2006 - 00:25 — sgrover

In part two of our Website Authentication article, we created a management page for adding/editing users in our authentication system. Today, we will (finally) force logins.

To start, we need a login form:

  <form name="frmLogin" action="validate.php" method="post">
    <table align="center">
      <tr>
        <td colspan="2" style="background-color: Silver;">
          Login
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Username:</td>
        <td>

Website Authentication - Part 2

Sat, 12/30/2006 - 00:25 — sgrover

In our last posting, we created a simple database table, and some PHP code to work with that table. In Part 2 now, we'll create a web page to provide an interface for working with that table.
