I just want to check it out for curiosity. Another question for everyone, I don't use alt tags in my web pages. I lay the graphics in so if you are using a screen reader you never know they are there. Do you feel this is a mistake? I myself am always after the text, and since I am unable to see the pictures, just prefer they lay in and I am unaware of them. This was my reasoning as I can use the text that is what I am after, and so prefer the pictures to be left to the sighted community. I would appreciate others feelings on this. I also use Java-applets, but lay them in so a non sighted person never knows they are there. In other words no interferences with the sharing of information. Do you guys feel this is a mistake? Animations I use and again lay them in the coding so they don't interfere, sometimes this is not an easy task, but can be accomplished with some effort. Thanks again! 73 RR AB7JM http://personal.riverusers.com/~ab7jm_gila ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andor Demarteau" To: Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2001 10:49 AM Subject: Re: Static IPs > On Fri, 7 Sep 2001, Karl Dahlke wrote: > > > Someone described a pseudo-always-on dsl connection from Ameritech, > > wherein the company drops you if you're not busy, > > and you wake up with a new ip address. > > What a frightening thought. > have a look at http://www.dhs.org > great and quick service to get a dynamic-ip with a fixed-hostname. > Works fine. > > > > I've just started hosting my own web site, on my own machine, > > and I don't know why I didn't take the plunge long ago. > > It's easy, and it's fun. > > There are numerous advantages, and a couple disadvantages. > > Well anyways, it would be unthinkable if I had such a terrible isp. > > I certainly can't reprogram all the name servers on the internet > > every time they decide to give me a new ip address. > > The cable at-home service doesn't work like that, > > and I have nothing but good things to say about them. > > They even tried to help me set up, > > knowing that I was on Linux. > > That's pretty rare. > > > > Getting back to the IPs; > > one day we lost the bill, or it got lost in the mail, or whatever, > > and I was behind, so they turned off the service. > > I called with my credit card to turn it back on and asked, > > please please please, > > can I have my old ip back again. > > "Sure, we've been saving it for you." > > Now that's class, > > and its certainly important to those of us who are hosting our own sites. > > > > Karl Dahlke > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Blinux-list mailing list > > Blinux-list@redhat.com > > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > > > > slainte mhaith (good health), slainte (cheers) > Uisce Beatha (water of live/health) > ----------- > Andor Demarteau E-mail: ademarte@students.cs.uu.nl > student computer science www: http://www.students.cs.uu.nl/~ademarte/ > Utrecht University irc: see webpage for details > ----------- > Believe in yourself, know what you want, and make it happen! > > > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@redhat.com > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list >
