oops...wrong server.... anyway, I'm scattered as all hell.

This http://www.reachcac.org/robin/perl/ is just what I'm using as a test
server...

inclined to contact Ms. Rosemary England and complain.

haha... it's all good...

Will you _please_ stop, and read the responses to your posts?

The only thing you'll achieve this way is to end up in people's
killfiles, and you still have too much to learn to be able to afford
that.

Have you got ADD or something like that?

You need a better URL, but http://thefirstpageoftheinternet.com/ is already
taken.

I've missed out on all this "fun", due to a killfile entry due to an
idiotic new year's day post...

However, I keep seeing replies and hence feel like I'm missing out on
the humour - a quick check of google groups makes me realise the
killfile is the far better option.

I can't help replying: as if a group like "comp.lang.perl.misc"
would want a web page anyway, but if it did it sure wouldn't have
an image containing only text without any damn "alt" text... Since
some of the people here actually aren't bloody idiots.

And so is the last one Everything in between is open for grabs - but
act fast ... quantities *are* limited ;-)

I agree - a killfile is better than getting all worked up over this
thread

Again - the urge to post overtook the basic urge to ignore this thread
(I have a coffee cup that says something similar about stress ... )

We don't need "groupies" (which is what a web page would bring) and Google
is alive and well. I have zero desire to post personal information to the
Internet (which, I guess, the "User Bios" section is supposed to be) and
have found more than my fair share of tutorials on the 'Net.

So, I'm thinking this is a re-inventing of the wheel - but that's my
opinion.

I'm now going to set ye olde news reader to ignore this thread

A boy asked his music teacher "Can I write a symphony?".
"Well its a complex and laborious process" replied the teacher.
"But Mozart wrote a symphony at age 11" the boy protested.
"Ahh, be he didn't have to ask!" the teacher replied.

oops - here it is - forgot to post the link.

I notice your "CGI Script" section, you have a number of scripts that you
claim are yours. This is clearly not the case, as a quick perusal through
the excruciatingly badly written Gbook reveals. Given that free-code.net no
longer appears to exist, it's hard to tell if you are breaking any copyright
they had, but you should make it very clear that it is not "your" script.

 

[Sara]

I dunno, I already have server space on one site, a whole 30 megs and some
on another server... which server would this be? Cause if it had a better
server and sounded better it might be cool. As for the help, I guess
compiling some of the posts would be all I really need...

Hmm I'd hope that 30MB would be MORE than sufficient, sure..

As for why would we want a website for this group, how many
newgroup-specific sites have you visited? They are generally
contributor-centric as opposed to techno-centric which you'd find on
an ordinary Perl site. So they have a different intent. They can also
be a good place for meta-discussions about this group which would be
flamed herein.

Robin, I still think the idea has merit. Don't be discouraged by the
almost 100% oppoosition by the Perlista cadre. I've never observed
them open to an idea that they didn't initiate. Not a slam, just an
empirical observation. If someone other than the 4-5 "accepted gurus"
has an idea or suggestion, it can't have merit!

You'd think at least one might see *something* good in a suggestion
like yours. Some see the glass as half full, others half empty. Others
refuse to believe there is any water in it at all!

this group has no special take on perl that deserves its own site. why
does the world need another newbie driven perl website? let her do it
but i won't contribute. i barely contribute to established sites like
perlmonk or perlguru or use.perl.org.

it has no merit. and it ISN'T a new idea.

it isn't that it isn't a good idea, it is a redundant idea. and how
would newbies like robin even know what to put into such a site? and how
would it be better or different than all the other sites? and what
special content would it have to make it stand out?

It could possibly be better in that it takes all of Robin's and Sara's
time, thus reducing the time they can spend posting to clpmisc. ;-O

I dunno, after being flamed by this group, I've decided to skip doing that,
thanks for the positive remarks... peace. Check out my perl site however -

Did you read the FAQ yet?

See
http://perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perlfaq1.html#What's-the-difference-between--perl--and--Perl--

You ain't gonna get any respect if you go round calling it "PERL".
