Coding and Sleeping

Say, if one were to have fixed a PowerMac G3/266 that one got for free what Operating System would be a good match? Say Mac OS 9 or perhaps a slightly older version of OS X like 10.1 or 10.2? I don't think OS X 10.3 or 10.4 support that old a Mac.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Can someone download this Access 2003 template and see if I am craxy:

It appears to be missing the Payments table, and therefore doesn't have the ability to make an invoice, etc. I would think this was a feature, but some of the queries says 'cannot find table or query "payment"' AND there is a table of payment methods, but no where that I can find to enter them.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I've got a perl script that has worked in the past, but has decided this year that part of it doesn't want to. It's for the WMBR fundraiser that starts Wednesday morning. Here's what it does:

  • Collects information from an html form.
  • Writes the data to a flat file.
  • Sends an email to me notifying me that a pledge has been received.
  • Sends a different email to the pledger acknowledging their pledge.
  • Generates and displays an html page acknowledging their pledge.

Everything was working except for the first email (the pledger receives an email but not me). Just a moment ago, all I did was change "my" email, and now *I* receive an email but not the pledger. WTF!

Anyone want to take a look at the script to see what I'm missing?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'll look at it, Jon.

Thanks Tom!

I put a copy of the script here: [link]

The html form is here: [link]

You should check in /var/log/, (I don't know what the exact file is, probably /var/log/maillog), and look for log messages from sendmail.

I don't think I have access to that directory. wobblymusic is a shared server.

Crap. I don't see anything wrong in the script. You might try writing the mail to a plain files, to make sure that both code paths are getting executed. Also, try putting a Bcc: $recipient line in the submitter's message, and see if you get a copy of both.

Both files were written to and looked like they are supposed to.

I tried that earlier and it didn't seem to work, but I'll play around with it some more.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Say, if one were to have fixed a PowerMac G3/266 that one got for free what Operating System would be a good match? Say Mac OS 9 or perhaps a slightly older version of OS X like 10.1 or 10.2? I don't think OS X 10.3 or 10.4 support that old a Mac.

If it's not a beige G3, I'd go with 10.3, if you have the RAM, 9.2.2 wold work fine on any old G3 as well, even Beige. You may need a utility.

If we knew the hypothetical model, it would help.
