@phil: As in which OS am I using now? Well that’s Debian. Or what am I doing with my time now? I’m still making websites and I’m about to launch a fabulous new Social Graph application.

thanks to you too Tom.
…Just curious… you’re moving on to what? Course you don-t have to answer that if you don’t want to :)

Howdy Tom,

Nice page….thank you for the thank you ;-).
I’m leaving Puppy as well. It’s been 3 or 4 good years and has been lots of fun and learning but now it’s time to move on to new horizons.
All my best,
Eric

Thanks for your comment Nelson. I do know what you mean about Puppy’s uniqueness and can well imagine how its smallness lends itself to low powered machines on low bandwidth connections. I just fell out with the way the community was being organised really :(

I think you have lost the whole idea for puppy linux! I come from africa and technology does not move at the same pace as the west. You must understand that puppy linux fills a niche area where people are still using pII and PIII computers. Imagine being able to browse the internet using a GPRS connection on an obsolete 200MHz computer with 128Mb ram, which by the way you have booted up using a floppy disk and then ran the OS in ram via a usb disk. Life does not get better than that.

Its impossible to compare a major distro like Derbian which comes as a multipart DVD distro to one that fits on a measly 128Mb flash disk. Here in africa I can download a new 100Mb release of puppy linux in 6 hours, and have the latest “OS” for my needs, we do not have the resources to acquire, install, and upgrade our distributions using aptitude.

I believe that Barry is one person who has shown his love for his pet PUPPY, and its yielding results. He has shown that you can come with an idea and streamline the project and run it as an individual. Kudo Barry, Puppy linux is a unique linux distro, it does not try to emulate any distro, and without the likes of Barry, Linus, and Jobs where will we be?

Thanx

Here, I've installed a demo of the templating system here. Does that help?

Just found this while I was googling for templating systems.

Having read your brief description above, and without having downloaded your templating system I’m a bit lost as to why I would need it.

You see, the example code you have provided, its just HTML and PHP, I can see nothing that may have been using the templating system that you have written.

Also, why are you using the print function? you should be using echo as its faster.

Thanks

Tom
I hadn,t tryed wnop2 until I had a need for something like this last month.I most say wish you were
still working on this project .I,m still having trouble getting it on USB drive but know my problem
is I,m not using the right syslinux file.A few addon,s and wnop on USB sure would fit the bill
for small form factor low power.
But anyway thanks for the work you did! It is fun to use.
