Possibly my new personal homepage (some C++ stuff there!)

[Alf P. Steinbach]

My old free homepage hosting at home.no.net, where e.g. the C++ tutorial linked
from the FAQ is placed, is about to come to an end.

home.no.net started the decline a few years ago by adding hideous and
non-validating banners to every page. And as of May this year that homepage
hosting service will be completely shut down. So I'm moving things to

<url: http://alfps.izfree.com/>

hoping but not knowing that this new host will be up and about for at least some
years.

So far, regarding C++ I've moved the C++ tutorial there, the "pointers" document
associated with that tuorial, and a MinGW g++ binding to Windows GDI+ graphics.

And so far -- about a day of experience -- it's been really great.

Part of that greatness is not just the technical but that they require their
users to be serious and competent, and simply kick out or don't accept those who
aren't. But this also means that I need visitors. I don't know how much
visited the home.no.net page was/is, but to ensure visitors, not just the odd
fellow who's stumbled over a link to a utility or tutorial or such, I'm changing
my sig to include what essentially is an unashamed call for visitors.

Hoping that all those who enjoyed my earlier sig (it even made into a few FAQs!)
won't be too disappointed -- I think the web pages are more important, at
least to the C++ community.


Cheers,

- Alf

It seems they're a bit picky about their visitors, too. Connection
refused. Sorry.

Oh dang. Works here, and there have been a number of visitors (one from Seattle
Washington who homed right in on Microsoft code... ). Could you check once
more please?

Cheers,

Hi Alf

The link START, Get Started and Object-Oriented Programming in "Correct
C++ tutorial" does not work for me
(link http://alfps.izfree.com/tutorials/w32cpptut/html/index.html )

Uh huh, after Richard Heathfield reported a problem, and now you, I'm beginning
to suspect that maybe this server experiences short overloads now and then.

The big START (as well as Get Started) should go to

http://alfps.izfree.com/tutorials/w32cpptut/html/w32cpptut_01.html

and they do for me.

Are they still not working, and if so, could you relate the error message?


Cheers, & thanks,

They are working now!

The errors were simple: "Address cannot be found". The same as I would
type wrong web address. Well, I will wait a bit before I post that
something have not been working next time.

sorry, this is very off-topic.


I was there, and it worked. At least the first two pages I clicked on.
I have a simple question, as you "advertise" thunderbird as a news reader.
I am using thunderbird for e-mail for a while now, its the greatest
e-mail program I know. I don't need the junk filter as my email provider
is doing that quite well.

Unfortunately that will not apply to news from usenet. And on top of
that, thunderbird seems to not apply a filter on news. And even worse: I
cannot delete mails manually, because they're not mine.

The news-worthy tool you advertise seems not to solve this, as far as I
can see from the feature list.

What is your way to remove not only spam, but maybe also whole branches
that do not apply to your interests?
