Hey Guys this is what has happened with the case mod so far. I have changed from using perspex to wood that is why this was not been up earlier. I decided to use pine because I had plenty lying around and if this doesn't work (like the perspex design) I'm not wasting the good stuff. Also I can just stain or vanish it when I'm finished. So first up I had to cut all the small pieces (10mm thick) using the saw bench and thankfully I still have all my fingers and thumbs.

I'm endeavouring to post some links to great articles I've read of late. Here's a couple to begin with:

http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm - About some fundamental differences between OS's and their users...

http://artlung.com/smorgasborg/C_R_Y_P_T_O_N_O_M_I_C_O_N.shtml -  Interesting article about the evolution of computing, well worth a read.

I've raised two tickets with our webhost,

1# Is for the MySQL too many connections error. This means our website goes down.
2# We're out of disk space. The disk space is an issue because I can't access ftp to upgrade modules. It shouldn't be an issue for running the website.

Hi guys,

Here's a couple of ways that we can promote this site, and make the site relevant.

• Provide links to this site whenever this site has an article that solves someone's problem
• Create articles, on this website, that solve someone's problem and then give them a link to that page

What else can we do?

Hi guys,

To make this site useful, we need great articles. We need people to write those articles. I'm proposing a change to how editing privileges are assigned. Currently there is no process, just flavour of the minute. I suggest:-

Hi,

Here's a list of some of the recent changes to the website.

I'd like to see us create a policy for writing articles for our Wiki. I propose that we adopt the Wikipedia guidelines for good writing. Whilst I haven't looked through the entire Wikipedia policy I've found a couple of extracts which I would like to implement as soon as we can. Please use the comment button below to voice your thoughts.

The purpose of a wiki is that it is edited by the community. It is there to serve the community, and that is done by having the best possible article. To get good articles, article writers need to be appreciated.
