Shavian eGroup Archive Browser

Hi,

I'd like one of those addresses.

Thanks

BTW, are you the other member on my now defunct Shavian board? I noticed that the webpage listed in the member profile of pne was http://shavian.org.

Thanks again...

And I'd like to repeat the offer -- if someone wants a mail forwarding
address @shavian.org, drop me a line (they're free). And if you want to
deposit stuff under www.shavian.org <http://www.shavian.org> , drop me a line as well, and we'll talk
about it. Shouldn't be a problem, especially if you don't need more than a
meg or so.

(Caveat: if too many people take me up on the offer then the space available
per person will have to shrink or I'm going to want to ask for contribution
to the hosting fees for extra space.)

Cheers,
Philip

usmaak@... <mailto:usmaak@...> is good. You can forward it to usmaak@... <mailto:usmaak@...> .

What did you think of the board? I have been discussing the upgrade with Hugh. The newest Ikonboard seems much more functional. I was able to get the Shavian and Quickscript forums working with fonts, with no hacking or special mods.

Yes and no... there is a MySQL database running on shavian.org which I am
using; however, the username and password for it are the same as for the FTP
and shell access to the main account, and I'm not sure I want to give those
out right now.

It would be possible to get an additional MySQL database, but only at a
monthly fee (one database per account is free; all others cost $2 a month).

If you wanted to use MySQL, the database username and password would have to
be in the ikonboard scripts, right?

Cheers,
Philip

To be honest, I'm not sure. I think that Hugh has installed it with DBM.
We'll see how it all works. I'm hoping the SQL will work on the DBM
database as well.

Hi,

First of all, does anyone know what happened to Phil Driscoll? His
email bounces and his web site is no longer at the address he previously
indicated.

Secondly, have Hugh's boards changed? I just joined and there are
2 QuickScript boards and only one Shavian one. And I seem to recall
seeing about 4 or 5 Shavian boards before (and not having to logon to
see their names).

Yes, they have completely changed. They are using the newest Ikonboard, which is version 3.0.2. Plus, there are Quickscript forums added, which is something folks have wanted to see for awhile.

Hi Scott,

I'll answer your questions in reverse order, I think. Yes, my boards have changed - I have had to restart them, as the code for the old boards had become corrupted when I moved it over to the new webspace. The new boards to be found at http://www.shavian.org/hugh/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi are using the newer, up-to-date version of the message board software I was using before. I have not finished creating forums yet, this will come with time. I am currently working with Scott Kilbourn (Usmaak) to make the forums display correctly in Shavian typefaces. I will let everyone know when the updates are complete.

As for Phillip Driscoll, I've no idea where he's gone. His webspace has indeed vanished - I've tried searching for it on Google - no sign of it. If you still want to see what WAS his site, follow this link:
http://web.archive.org/web/20010424095939/www2.c4systm.com/~phild/
You can still get his fonts from this address.

Hugh,

The reason I wanted to contact Phil Driscoll is because I wanted to know whether he could add to his fonts by making Unicode versions of all his fonts, and also put the Shavian letters into the proper places with regard to the latest proposal for them to be introduced into the Unicode specification permanently. If this were done, then we would have a much better chance of having the Unicode documents we create today just work when Shavian is finally adopted into Unicode.

Hi,

Finally I got my Quikscript website running. All the links should work
now.

The site is also about the various keyboard drivers I've made. Please
take a good look at them, they might very well work for Shavian too
(as you know, Shavian and Quickscript fonts aren't too different). If
not, converting one of the drivers to proper shavian is about 10
minutes of work.

Here is the URL:
