Techref People

Any techref member who wishes to may post a personal, resume, or private page at this location.

Infact, after you join, recieve your password by email and log in, every page on this site will have a small form at the bottom that allows you to add your own comments, links, and entire web pages to the site. PLEASE DO SO!

The update form adds:

1. a comment (without link) if the file field is left empty,
2. a link to a new file (which it creates) if the file is specified and does not exist,
3. a link to an existing file if the file name given is an existing file and finally,
4. a link to another web site if file is a URL.

We call this TANSTAAFL web hosting. We don't charge, but we do:

• reserve the right to edit in order to improve readability and organization. (We will credit you and let you know what we have done)
• reserve all publication rights (non-exclusive). We intend to sell the (public NOT private) data on the site as a book and cd. Authors who make significant contributions will be financially rewarded. (Details to follow)

If the "Private" box is checked, any content you add will be removed from pages before they are shown to other members or non-members and will not be published. Private information will never be released except as required by law-enforcement officers.

Don't worry about editing any new content you add to the main pages; our editing staff will review and correct, if necessary, all new posts. Unless you are interested in becomming an editor, you will not be able to edit the content of pages created by other members.

Any new pages you create will be "owned" by you and you will be able to edit the source of these pages by clicking on an edit link which will appear at the bottom of the page when you are logged in.

• Sursucan Vasile of National Institute for Isotopic & Molecular Technology asks: " http://www.geocities.com/vsurducan/PIC/pic.htm I'm trying to understood how can I add my own index.html page here ?" +

  The problem is that you signed up before the Nimda virus was released. That virus uses the double dot "../" in the path part of a request to a web server to attempt to get to non-public files that are a part of the OS on the web server. Your original member id was entered with dots in it: SV-I.N.C.D.T.I.M.-A35a which I have now changed to SV-INCDTIM-A35a. In an attempt to reject Nimda generated requests, I have set the web server to ignore all requests with dots in the path. This results in your member home page being rejected. I have since changed the new member page so that dots in the member id are removed, but I had to manually rename your home page and ID to delete the dots. Now, the link on your name in the question above will point to your member home page and you will be able to edit that home page and add other pages from it if you are logged in.
   

• Carlos M Torres of Universidad de Lima asks:

  Recently I got a Picstart 16B, but it´s unsupported by Microchip. Searching the web I noticed that NewFound Electronics (Australia) had released an firmware upgrade for this programmer, the Phoenix, but it is not longer available from them (It is still supported by this companye same company). I can use another programmer but it will be very useful to "recover" this picstart 16B. I would greatly appreciate any help.
