Believe me, Luki, I can relate; my company is the exact same way. Then again, we're so resistant to change that some of the machines we use for other stuff are actually still running DOS.

We're on a new host, I'll lask Chad if Perl works or not.

Yeah, it does. Chad will be in touch with you I think

I take it those companies don't take kindly to people hacking their way into their local Administrator account?

Well, if perl works here, that makes putting up the Guide a pretty simple matter of copy/pasting some files and perhaps setting permissions on the part you execute.

I still want to try and get the planet database to something a little more standards-compliant though, as when I originally wrote it it was only compatible with Internet Explorer (bad me!). FireFox works, kind of, but none of the interactive stuff really works well/at all. Perhaps I can try to poke that monstrosity again later...

Not really. And as I'm on site here and using one of our customers computer so that I can access their IE 6 intranet, definitely not. Nothing gets factories as uppity as when the consultants hack their systems. Not that I'd have a clue about how to do that though.

Also UQMF went down in the middle of my BEL update. What gives? Temporary glitch apparently.

Yay, good news!

[Angelfish]

yeah UQMF is down for me too...

[Lukipela]

Back up now

[Nuclear]

Huh? UQM forum went down? Oh well I don't really pay much attention to that place anymore, although I am slightly pumped about that Saturday event. If I do bad, TRUST me, its the delay .

As for works getting all authoritarian about internet usage, its that way with any work place! If I was an administrator, I know I would ! And the company sticks with MS-DOS because there afraid of change? They must be really used to the 80's...

Funny, that. I'm a consultant too and when I go on site and hack their systems, I get thanked.

Weird things going on... It should be ok again, but keep your fingers crossed.

I hope you get paid for it too
