Posted by Keith Elder | Posted in PHP, Programming | Posted on 01-03-2001

Miester was the first to write in that there was a release of PHP-GTK.

The first release of PHP-GTK is now available. PHP-GTK is a PHP extension that provides an object-oriented interface to GTK+ toolkit and enables you to write client-side cross-platform GUI applications. For more information, visit gtk.php.net.

Stallman Defends the American Way

Posted by Keith Elder | Posted in Internet, Open Source, Programming | Posted on 28-02-2001

Recently Microsoft released an article that free software, or software released under the GNU GPL was against the American Way. Of course this is ridiculous, however it is nice to see that Richard Stallman (one of the biggest voices of open source software) stood up with a rebuttle to the foo by Microsoft. Stallman’s article can be read here. If you haven’t heard what Stallman says about Free Software and Open Source Software, this is a good article that will break you into start hating Microsoft as much as the next guy.

If web servers could talk

Posted by Keith Elder | Posted in Funny Stuff, Internet | Posted on 23-02-2001

If you have ever requested a document that didn’t exist on a web page I am sure you have seen an “Error Page”, commonly known as a “404 Error”. Normally the web server responds with, “Sorry, that page doesn’t exist” and leaves it at that. If the web servers were actually smart it could possibly give us matches to what we thought we were trying to find. This would be a nice feature that would be to terribly hard to incorportate into a site. With this in mind, Shikazu sent us a link that is probably the funniest “404” page that I have seen. You can find the link to the site here. If Apache could talk, this is probably what it would say.

MS Wants To Outlaw Open Source

Posted by Keith Elder | Posted in Internet, Open Source, PC Software | Posted on 15-02-2001

Slashdot is carrying the ever talked about article about Microsoft stating that open source threatens the American Way. Ok folks, get ready. Here they come. Microsoft FUD at its very best. It is only going to get worse before it gets better people. This type of stuff agravates the heck out of me. If the stupid web sites that post this stuff would stop submitting articles about this type of FUD I would be much happier. But ohhhhhh no! No one will visit their site unless they post a bunch of flamtory articles submitted and written by Microsoft.

Microsoft did the same thing to IBM back when OS/2 was released and when the MAC was released. This means one thing and one thing only, They are scared!.
