  1. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your feedback - it really is appreciated. I've tried to create resource that I, myself would use, although I'll be honest and say I certainly don't know the majority of stuff you can do with the command line. I've taken onboard much or your comments guys including the extra changing directory elements and chmod details (cheers Notbanksy). Most of what you said ElanMan didn't make much sense to me unfortunately. Maybe if you could point me in the direction of some resources I'd love to further my knowledge in this area. Oh, and thanks for the cp mv thing, stupid mistake there. edster thanks for the extra tip, I didn't know that one existed! I'll be using that myself. Jock, I'll have to put my hands up and say you're right. You could say I created a website more for my benefit than any other. I stumbled across SSH by accident (probably in a thread not to disimilar from this) a few years ago and always search ssh commands to find the info I need. SSH commands is a more searched query than bash so I labeled the site to accommodate the traffic. Glas you like the design. Thanks again guys!
  2. Hey guys, I spent a few hours over the weekend putting together a website that you guys could use as a reference when using SSH. Hopefully it'll help you guys out during development or site migration and installation. SSH is alot easier than you probably think! And I'm open on suggestions to improve the website where applicable. If you spot any errors please could you use the form on the right handside... I've double checked everything but sometimes you can be too close to a project you know? www.sshcommands.co.uk Thank you! Dave
  3. Getting there though Andy by the look of it.
  4. You're right about seeing every reincarnation of the site. This is certainly the best - by a long way too. Seeing the posts regarding IE I'm sure glad not to be using it. Not sure how comfortable you are with speaking about it but whats the top three browsers used to access the site?
  5. Really Well Done Ben. As said within all the comments above, great to free a fresh lick of paint on the walls. Also great to see the new logo, very nice! I'm a bit surprised you went for 2 468x60's at the top, especially with the trend of 125x125 elsewhere online - plus helps get you additional advertising. I'm really loving the vibrancy of the masthead and although it has similarities to webdesign depot... it's has its own style. Looking through the length of each post, is it worth removing the 'Interests' section under the avatar? They seem to increase the height of each post significantly leaving alot of white space within the post itself. Just a thought. Lastly the Briefcase and InDesign Logo's are a bit odd but whatever eh? ;O) Kudos to the Dribbble, HTML5 Logo and Like button's.... Very contemporary. I'm really looking forward to seeing the new changes soon. Well done! P.S. Must signup for a Gold Membership
  6. iPad UK Pricing Announced! Coming to an Apple Store near you on May 28th. Pre-order from Monday. And about bloody time too - I should have had mine by now...
  7. Hi all, I've spent ages today looking how to set 2 or more (multiple) Primary Keys in 1 table. It took alon time but I managed to find the little bits to get ti to work. All you need to do is run this: ALTER TABLE tablename ADD PRIMARY KEY (column1, column2, ...) So for example: ALTER TABLE Login ADD PRIMARY KEY (loginName, loginTime) This should make both columns (loginName and loginTime) Primary Keys in the table called Login. I hope this helps for those who have to find this out in the future. Cheers, Dave
  8. Big big congratulations Ben,
  9. I don't know if it's just me, but my printer hates tables but loves css. And that's just a printer... the css/ tables debate isn't about speed, code view or glory - it's about the user and displaying the content across multiple platforms and mediums. CSS just happens to be great at that. You seperate the content from the presentation stuff and you end up with an easy way to display your content for different people/ hardware. win win. I love tables though - but they're not made for presentation. Let's leave it at that
  10. There is something really funky going on with your source code... buts that another story... I would ALWAYS recommend users put a reset stylesheet (especially learners). We all know browsers have weird default assigned to their body elements. To give you the best fighting chance of getting your design to work first time always use a reset style sheet. I (now) always use: /** ******************************************************************************** ********************** A bit of global resetting - courtesy of: [url="http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2008/01/15/resetting-again/"]http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2008/01/...esetting-again/[/url] ******************************************************************************** ********************** **/ html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, b, u, i, center, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; outline: 0; font-size: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;} body {line-height: 1;} ol, ul {list-style: none;} blockquote, q {quotes: none;} :focus {outline: 0;} ins {text-decoration: none;} del {text-decoration: line-through;} /* tables still need 'cellspacing="0"' in the markup */ table {border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0;} You should try it... make sure that it's imported into the html document *BEFORE* your layout.css style sheet Good luck! Dave
  11. Congratulations!
  12. BlueDreamer, do you secretly work for EE? First I have to say: "Hi I'm Dave, and I love EE". Thjere are so many reasons why but the 2 particulars are: 1. Ease of use Once you get your head around the basics you'll be suprised how easy this baby is to use. 2. The Support. Imagine the Rackspace of CMS Support and you've got it. The support team are absolutly outstanding and so friendly to get along with. They are VERY experienced in the like of PHP MYSQL and obviously EE. The wiki has tons of custom made code to place in your installtion. Good Work EE Dave
  13. Daniel, I think you should still post this import tool onto the forum, it 'may' get indexed by Google and further help Ben in the SEO rankings. Also it's just a handy tool anyway. Good Work

    Howe about actually making is link, setting the cursor to arrow and ignoring the href section of the a tag so your left with... CSS div.folderview-art a:hover { background-color:#d5e4df; cursor: arrow } HTML <a>Hover to chnage my background color, I love it.</a>
  15. <my 2 cents> If people are silly enough to still be using IE5 and 5.5 then they deserve not to be able to be able to see the web correctly. Bill Gates isn't exactly supporting WIN95, nor can I get genuine parts for my '76 Mustang. Things move on...

    I frequently use the '3 digit' method and it works like the following: margin: 30px 0 20px 0; reduced looks like: margin: 30px 0 20px; The first attribute is the top; second is the sides, so the left and right; and third is the bottom. I always remember it (strangly) like a diamond turned 90° anti-clockwise... so you get 3-points... If this doesn't explain it well enough shout and I'll have another attempt. 'rock out' Dave
  17. What a shame the site is still down, I wonder if the value of my links have gone up (or down).
  18. I've been looking for something like that for years! Wahoo!!!!
  19. I've had a bit of expereince with cms and I find that cutenews - http://www.cutephp.com - is the simplest. It you can find an old version you'll see it's free. Enjoy! Expression Engine, Wordpress, Text Pattern, Cutenews.. I've had a go

    Personally I love the marquee! I think the marquee tag is due a come back! lol. If you look at any other gaming site you will notice that the main body of the page is image based (and lots of 'em). If gamers were interested in words, they'd read a book. you know? Dave
  21. Welcome! Have you got any previous work we can have a gander at?

    If the user has download Adobe Acrobat, then by default it allows IE to be a PDF Reader. There should be an option on the top left hand corner (when viewing pdf's) that says something like "Save to Disk". No sure about the eps problem.
  23. OR put the css value: overflow: auto; inside of the #container element
  24. OR put the css value: overflow: auto; inside of the #container element
  25. Just out of curiosity, after the second-from-last closing div put <div style="clear: both;"></div> (inside of the container div below the div elements)
