No worries, these things happen - keep up the good work running DistroWatch while Ladislav is away.
3 • Yoper underwhelms The site isn't even working (by distrowatch reader at 2004-07-13 17:11:50 GMT)
Clicking on the links yields "Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/forums/ips_kernel/class_db_mysql.php on line 115"
4 • distrowatch weekly note on the main page (by Vince on 2004-07-14 04:38:34 GMT)
been there done that (with the kidney stones i mean).... was no picnic for me either....
just a question.... did i miss the notice that there was a new distrowatch weekly available on the main page, or did you omit to put it up. the reason i ask is that i normally only check there to see if there's a new one before heading over to its page....but then, that's probably just me.
anyways, hope you're on the mend....
5 • re: distrowatch weekly note on the main page (by P.F.Pearson on 2004-07-14 12:29:01 GMT)
I didn't miss the notice, because I noticed Ladislav always puts it out early Monday Morning (GMT-0600). I've got the "current weekly" bookmarked, so that I can track the comments (I need a life!). I did look today, and the notice doesn't appear to be on the announcements page.
6 • We're with you... (by Soloact at 2004-07-15 08:32:50 GMT)
Robert, we're with you all the way. Been there with a k-stone, not a bit of fun at all.
You're doing a great job!
Best to you and yours!
7 • Not to worry (by Zor on 2004-07-15 12:08:21 GMT)
Don't worry, be happy, Robert!
You're doing a great job and you shouldn't worry about the site too much. First things first, your recovery is much more important. 'Cause in this life, you've only got one body...
