[QUOTE=Tommy.b;1287366]I suggest you use a directory watcher, (if new files all end up in the same place) that way your PERl code will be able to respond when a new file "comes out" and act accordingly.[/QUOTE] thanks!

This is a great book. Comes very handy. I was never good with OOP and the OOP section in this book was thorough enough that I now understand the basics with OOP programming in PHP. Highly Recommended.

I think table's have a use. Ifyou want to quickly put up data and have it displayed properly in the least amout of time, i would go with a table. Creating a table format in CSS is no easy task. As dani said CSS has it's benefits. Ease of design …

I like the MacBook Pro. Nice blog.

The google vs msft battle is going to be very interesting.

Google makes some nice tools. How'd you get involved in the beta program?

yea it is; there are simple things you can do to dimish the risk of you installing it till they release the patch. One is disable the image viewer, second is disable downloads (set security settings to high), third you can switch to firefox for the time being.

Even though it's been around for a while, I think it's a good resource. Their content is great and they keep up with industry news and trends.

does anyone have details on the transaction?

Ho Hum! Are you sure there isn't anything new that's interesting?

[QUOTE=andyT;699040]Hi, This is my first post, this site has been very helpful in the past. I am wondering if it is possible to assign a dynamic array to a vector? If so, how? The following code is not working for me (with Visual Studio .NET 2003): [code] int *current; current …

Well i am a newbie to webservices and have still having a bit of trouble understanding the concepts. Anybody want to take the time to write a quick introduction to it? Please please!

Was on the rocks about which server to choose. Here were the options: [LIST] [*]Dual Xeon 2.8 - 2 gig ram - 2 10k 73 gig SCSI [*]Dual dual core Opteron - 2 gig ram - 2 160 gig SATA [/LIST] The question I had was; Is the performance gain …

Este sitio es muy caliente! Tiene mucho informacion para los techies muy frios!

Cool script, i like it! Does the js have to be hosted on your server?

The idea of paying someone sounds nice, i've contemplated it before. But it's just not the same.

Nice discussion.

Yes, i do see the adlinks quite a bit. I was a bit turned off that it takes you to a google page and then a user has to click on those ads for you to get paid. Any success with adlinks? Let us know.

After running the site without e-mail activation for few months, I am slowly pondering turning it back on. Two main reasons: - I would like clean e-mail addresses to keep in touch with registered members. - It deters spammy posts.

Write good useful content. On the web, that usually attracts attention.

welcome :-)

Ouu, finally. Daniweb = blazing fast. Are these database error messages I am experiencing related to the change?

I've had no experience with YPN yet. Though your inputs make me wonder if it is the right network for us.

Are you still experiencing the same CTR or has it tappered off by now? Since daniweb has been online for a while and you have run adsense for a long time too, do you have any advice to improve ctr. Placement, color, tips and trick.

Happy Birthday!

You can set it in your my.cnf file.

Forums feel lot more active; Looks like the condensing is really paying off.

Yea, it's a very tricky update. Some people are reporting less pages indexed on the new BD servers. I think it's just that they are rolling out the new updates, then they will send out the crawlers when the update is done. Within a couple of months everything should be …

Did ok, we moved up a notch. Do you there is any more value left in gauging sites with PR? I've seen some very horrible looking PR7's and PR8's lately.

Are you talking about the BigDaddy updates? I think they have more servers converted to BD now. Pagerank updates are coming to an end too, I believe. How are you faring with the new updates?

Interesting thread. Growing a community is hard work. I thought it would be easy, but learning there is a lot more to it. Dani does a great job of staying in touch with her community and getting feedback from them about the direction of daniweb. I like the members here. …

Install a webserver on your desktop; and start practicing by using tutorials that show you how to build functional websites and application. Try to customize these simple applications with features you think would be cool Good way to learn.

In the market to buy a thin light laptop. I don't need a desktop replacement. Just something where i can move my IM/Email and basic browsing on to. Also something to lug around airports and hotels rooms.

I don't have any experience doing this, but from what i've heard it is. You should be ready by learning how to use a proper ad management tool. Such as phpadnews or hosted ad servers.

I haven't implemented this system, but I do believe it serves a good purpose. One of the reasons forums are so successful is that they promote information exchange. A reputation system allows new members to quickly find out which members are most likely to post meaningful topics and responses. I …

I have had the same problem as you. The best advice that was given to me was to promote my board in other forums and communities by becoming a good contributing member of those forums. Post good posts that people want to read and you will soon build a small …

Dani's advice is sound. Forum's aren't the most lucrative of sites and you will have to differentiate yourself in the market. If your up for the challenge, a good community is very attainable.

The best kinda traffic is natural linked traffic. When you get into redirects, it's very sketchy. While they might send you traffic, it might be non-performing traffic. Conversions will be low, member signups will be low and the visitors might leave right away.

Never used it. There are lot of free hosts out there, be careful, as nothing is free in this world and you might have to give up quality and service for that free.

Check out the link to my site in the signature. Then go to the tutorials section and click on a tutorial. I think this is what you are looking for. If it is, you are going to have to learn how to create your own custom VB pages, by hacking. …

I've looked for a good CMS to integrate into VB, there aren't many that meet the requirements i have. I found it much easier to just learn how to hack VB and create custom pages. v b u l l e t i n | dot | o r g …

I will attempt to provide some direction. I don't know if it's what you are looking for. You can test nearly all parts of your application. It's all depends on your test plan. Simple html sites are easy to test. Interactive sites will require more work for testing. The user …

congratulations dw.

Daniweb = PR7 :-) What about the rest of you? Any good surprises?

What is the ideal number of forums to start an online community with?

dani, why did you break it . . . geez.
