Post by thread:Sharing my piclist archive site

Attention PICListers - I've finally decided not to be so selfish and to share a new PICLIST archive site I created. I've been using this site off and on privately for a couple of months now; it's something I threw together during my spare time last December. Thus, it contains no messages prior to late- December - I highly recommend the Iversoft archives if you're looking for anything not contained on my site. However, the pages I have created update in realtime; once a message is received by the host the archiver is running on, it is immediately placed up for public viewing. Also, the messages are indexed nightly and a search engine is available. (This is perhaps the nicest feature of the whole site.) The URL is: http://www.infosite.com/~jkeyzer/piclist/index.html The pages are definitely no-frills and I don't intend to spend much time maintaining them, but I do believe they serve their purpose. I find them very convenient myself, so I thought I would share with the rest of you. Have fun! --------------- Jeff Keyzer UCSD EE Undergraduate spam_OUTjkeyzerTakeThisOuTucsd.edu .....jkeyzerKILLspam@spam@infosite.com

I would suggest to change your fonts to fixed width because ascii diagrams and code snippets are hard to read. regards, Reggie

I find that just copying and pasting the diagrams into a notepad program with a fixed width font usually works well for me. Thanks for the suggestion though - one of these days I'll have to figure out how to tweak the perl scripts that regenerate the whole archive so that I can implement archive-wide font changes and such. But as I said, this is a very low maintenance project, I just figured that while the site is there I might as well let people know about it, even if it spontaneously goes down one day or falls out of date from neglect! --------------- Jeff Keyzer UCSD EE Undergraduate jkeyzerKILLspamucsd.edu .....jkeyzerKILLspam.....infosite.com
