I've released my JavaScript file

Well I posted on this subject on the Modify group already, as they are the ones probably the most interested in it...

I have released my JavaScript file, that contains almost all the functions I use on my Multiply site : smilies, quotes, Bible quotes, info boxes, scheme menu, etc...

You can find out how to get the file and use it on the HOWTO file I have made for the purpose.

Enjoy, and send me your comments!!

Using quotes in posts on my page...

Just as for smilies, I just added a JavaScript function that lets you quote anything on my site the way Multiply does it!

This function is simply called quote(), and takes 3 arguments :

* text : the text to be quoted
* author : the author of the quote
* option : value 'get' or 'post', just as for the smiley() function, for advanced users who want to include a quote in a JavaScript code


To call it, simple use



on any post on my Multiply site.

For example, will get you the following result :
Hello, this is a quote!
- the tester


Enjoy!

Ubuntu GNU/Linux Warty PPC

Category: Other
I am just testing Ubuntu Linux for PPC as I've seen it seems to be a good new distrib.

Well I'll begin with good points :
  • it is based on Debian => rock solid
  • it installed without any pb on my parents' eMac, and this is wow! This is the first distrib of linux PPC that I manage to install on this computer without having to hack anything around...
  • the installation process is very well done and automatic
  • my internal material was all recognized automatically. Well it's not exactly the case of my printer and scanner though...



Bad points now :
  • where is KDE?? This distrib comes with Gnome only and I couldn't even install it with the universe non-official packages or the KDE cvs!
  • there are still very few packages available (not even talking of XWindows ...)
  • after 2 hours, the graphical package manager crashed, so I have to use apt-get in a console
  • I don't like the default graphics ... can't help it


I think this is a good starting point for a new distrib (esp. as I tested it on a G4 PPC), but it still has quite a lot to go before I can say I prefer it to Mandrake ... Let us hope Kubuntu (Ubuntu with native KDE project) will develop soon

For more infos about Ubuntu Linux, see the official Ubuntu Linux website.

A nice story I just read...

A young man got into a store.
He asked to the angel that was here, behind the cass : ``What do you sell here, my good angel?''
The angel answered him with a large smile ``We have everything you want''.
``Then I would like the wars to stop, a better life for marginal people, work for unemployed guys, the end of...'' The angels stopped him ``I'm sorry, young man, but it seems you did not read the panel on the door. Here we don't sell fruits, only seeds. Did you think about buying seeds of peace, of generosity, of joy, of courage? Also don't be worried, as the store will still be opened after Christmas''.
