Yes, I will try to get that back up in a few days. It can be risky re-installing add ons since the underlying database upon which it is based can act funny sometimes, especially in this case where the shop/bank is still partially installed (as you can see because the money count for each person is still in their profiles). I therefore have to be careful when I try to reinstall the shop/bank…but I think it can probably be done.
There was a movie I saw many years ago in the '80s which had some storyline associated with kamikazes. I think the name of it was…Empire of the Sun.
Wow! And right in your area. Sounds like a steal to me….and I mean that in two senses of the word! It looks real to me, but if it is real it may be stolen property or illegally obtained if it's only $100. If I were you I might buy it and then contact some international board on stolen artifacts. Make sure to get contact information and a description of the seller. You could probably learn some neat things along the way.
I don't know if you had seen it, but I put a link in the Links area to a site which has song melodies for many historical American tunes.http://www.contemplator.com/america/You may be able to find tunes to some of the songs here that you've included.
I could find this information out on my own quickly enough, but I'll ask….when was Idi in power? The 1970s? Was it in Uganda?
Duh…look what I did….can I pet the rabbits now George? (say it like Lennie from Of Mice and Men.)
Not to get off topic or anything and turn this into a history-related thread (the gall!) but I was recently asked where the saying “the best laid plans of mice and men…” originated. I didn't know the answer. The title of the Steinbeck book is actually from earlier prose, and we thought it sounded sort of Shakespearean. It turns out it came from Robert Burns, 19th Century Scottish poet.
Actually I'm not sure how advanced they really have to be. At least I don't think your modern web page defacer hacker has nearly the same skill set as the classic 1980s-era hacker who could do things while leading authorities on a goose hunt. From what I understand you just basically need to know a command line to enter (perhaps even hearing about this on some forum) which exploits some security hole. There's really no point to defacing a site like mine….no point I can gather except a brief ego trip.
No problem. I've been up late the last few nights trying to work on the thing. As you can see I haven't gotten everything to work quite yet. For example, we don't have a shop at the moment!
If I am not mistaken, Fort Pulaski was designed by engineers of the US Army of whom Robert E. Lee was in charge. The reduction of Fort Pulaski proved the end of masonary fortifications due to the improvements in artillery.
From what it says on the site I linked to, there's an insinuation that the use of such mortar against Fort Pulaski sort of shed some light for other countries on how to attack such fortifications. I must say that from pictures I've seen on the Fort, it was somewhat “beautiful”, wasn't it? I wonder how deep the moat is. Anyone visited the Fort?
Wally, if you have enough shekels earned then you'll see a “Buy this” or “Buy now” button underneath the product's price and stock in the right column. If you don't have enough for a particular item then it will say how much you need in order to make a purchase.
I think you're a forum junkie….you love to install forum software. 🙂 I have realized that there's a lot of cool software out there but probably very few that I could make meaningful use of for myself.
I accidentally deleted the xoops tables from the database. I think I accidentally checked them in phpmyadmin and dropped them when I dropped the tables from some software I was trying out. I share the tables on databases sometimes and in this case I must have gotten them mixed up. I'll post an announcement where your members can gather in the event this site goes down. I think what I have setup now will be better. 😉
Yeah I've done that before….dropped tables from my sql database rather than emptying them….only to find out later why these two commands aren't the same.
The article did say that a number of club members were killed in WWI, perhaps in the Battle of Verdun. If the news came all at once it could have devastated many of them at the club. I could see how this could cause people to get so angry that they would want to ban all Germans/Austrians at the club. But obviously, one generation's sentiments get lost over the decades to the point where people now wonder what the deal was in the first place. It's good to see that humanity has progressed to the point of forgiving and forgetting.
