Attempted to install slackware and NForce drivers in 30 minutes this morning. It appears to have worked ok, left it slapt-get --dist-upgrading whilst I travel to work. For my next trick I shall attempt to remotely reboot into the new kernel without losing the network card ; ) Went to Rochelle’s last night to plot the future of www.khrp.org - it’s going to be all snazzy and stuff and DB driven... Hopefully anyway, as long as I can learn enough PHP...Mark, who she lives with, will be doing lots of the backend stuff. He has this really cool case that’s silent and has these HUGE blue case lights...Rather funky, I thought ; ) Got a design for the front page of hotels, not been signed off yet, but we’re starting anyway. The multiple class thing I first started using on this site I’ve greatly expanded on and extended for the stylesheet there, seperating out font, borders, margin and colour makes for much smaller CSS files:

.l10 {
   padding-left:+10px;
    }
.red {
   color:#F00;
    }
.body {
    font-family:helvetica;
    line-height:150%;
    }
...can then be combined with each other as in:
class="red l10 body"
...to apply the styles correctly. Comedy bug on the Mac, if you don’t put the text colour last it seems to be eevil and paint the whole block level element containing it in that colour. How we laughed... Am considering trying to learn enough about programming to write an XML producing bit of blogging software for the Palm and an upload feature...
