Am I retarded, or is having a unix webspace without CLI just a file storage and such place? Is there a sane way to run programs (like installers that take parameters) without having a command line? Is it possible to make a shell script do that in a clean, and manageable way?

I’m so spoiled…

 
	# procedure to check if the setuid bit is on 
	sub checkSUID { 
		return( -u $_[0] ); 
	} 

Some file test operators
-r readable
-x executable
-e exists
-d is a directory
-t is a tty
-T text file

Example

 
################################################################ 
# Check Security 
################################################################ 
# Users who wish to use this program must 
# put the file ".allowmailform" in their home directory on the  
# machine running this script.  We don't want people creating 
# forms that are abused to send "anonymous" mail. 
$homedir = (getpwnam($recipient))[7]; 
if (! -e "$homedir/.allowmailform") { 
	# this user does not permit the server to send mail to him.  Quit. 
	&error("The recipient of the form has not enabled access for this form");    exit(0); 
} 

Working on a perlscript for work.

Geez… does Netscape do *everything differently* ? Even the gif file timing is off!

Stopping People from Using Your Images on their Web Pages. (Bandwidth Theft)

If you have some nice graphics on your site, you might notice that other webmasters, usually newbies are having their readers pull the graphics directly from your site. If your bandwith is metered, then you are paying to support somebody else’s site! Depending on how busy that other site is, it can also place additional load on your server.

Something I’ve been noticing lately… and I’m occasionally guilty of it myself. No longer. From now on, I’ll post a link to the site, or copy the pic and use it locally.

today is wednesday?

I lost a day? Alien Abduction? Hormones? Sleepiness?

I know…Codeburn.

hmm… even http://personal.bellsouth.net/~svonberg works.

remote relocators for 10 megs more of free space… maybe I’ll relocate the newtcam there, and have it go streaming.

Each page will have a different feel, but common to the design (have alt lynx friendly for the old-schoolers & disabled)

Overhead frame with a map of where to go/ What to do… interactive/flash. Not too showy, functional and clean…

1 cave opening, wooden signpost – News (index page) Powered by LJ? perhaps just a simple CGI script. 2nd most dynamic page

2 Gallery (cave paintings) Probably the 2nd most static page
a- Whiteboard to play on?

3 Writing
a-Journal – Stream (of thought) blind fish… wet, and living Most dynamic page.
b-Programming (Mongo’s Firepit?)
c-fiction Veins of some mineral? Is gold to vain? Gems? each a different story? if a vein, perhaps a timeline of creation?

4 links (rear exit of the grotto… a lighted path away to a woodland glade, or down the mountain?), include ring memberships here

5 bio (Stalagtites & mites… most static part of the page… bats?) dedication, credits to assistant(s)?

6 newtcam (imagery is undecided…)

7+ ??? Toybox? Game? Is a guestbook needed, with the journal? Site stats?

Gah! … I fear you may’ve spawned a new meme.
