You didn't see the beginning of the discussion because it happened on
a different mailing list and I accidentally replied to linux-il.

Thanks for the pointer. I know the Perl DBI supports place holders but
as I wrote in my previous message - when I tried to use them with MS
SQL I was hit on the head with a stick with "Don't you remember MS SQL
doesn't support placeholders?!" on it.

I'm not 100% sure what's the relation between Sybase and MS SQL these
days. Has anyone in this forum actually managed to use place holders
on MS SQL 2005 through Perl?


Also, if the perl requirement can be lifted, I've used PHP's PDO extensively


Perl is a requirement in my domain, thanks.:)

Cheers,

Actually here is my answer from the page you sent (http://tinyurl.com/yjeve5):


However, using the Sybase libraries to query an MS-SQL server has
certain limitations. In particular ?-style placeholders are not
supported (although support when using the FreeTDS libraries is
possible in a future release of the libraries), and certain syb_
attributes may not be supported.


Digging the freetds.org site mentions other, archane and generic, perl
database API's but doesn't mention anything that can actually take
advantage of FreeTDS's (C API) support for MS-SQL place holders.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers,

Yep, you got this one right! And commenting this out stopped the reloading.
Thanks!

However, my riddle is still alive since nothing has touched /etc/modprobe.conf
since Feb 3rd. And this current nonsense started only yesterday. It seems that
something decided to access my /dev/eth1 without my request. Odd.

Project management

2007-04-20 Thread Andre Bar'yudin

Hello guys,

What software would you recommend for project management under Linux?  
Currently I need to keep track of time spent on each project.  It has to 
be web-based.


Thanks,

What's coming for Telux?

2007-04-20 Thread Shlomi Fish
Hi all!

I've been thinking of what to do next in Telux (the Tel Aviv Linux club) and 
have a few ideas:

1. A Vim/gvim Tips Marathon, where we bring some laptops, connect them to the 
screen, and enlighten each other with our favourite vim tips and tricks.

This would be much less formal than the Vim for Beginners' presentation Sagiv 
and I prepared ( http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/Vim/beginners/ ), and more 
fun.

2. A Lightning Talks session. I have some lightning talks in mind and other 
people can prepare them in advance, or give whatever they feel like giving 
about.

3. A distribution/desktop/whatever stories sharing. Each one discusses what 
his favourite distribution is.

4. [Insert your suggestion here]



Now for some meta-information:

1. I'd like to convert the shedule to the first and third Sunday of every 
month, instead of every two weeks. This way the schedule will be more 
predictable, and easier to program.

2. This time I'll make sure there is proper advertising and proper 
arrangement. If someone wishes to volunteer in helping in this regard, then 
send me a private email.

3. In the Ruby meeting it was considered a good idea that the presentations 
will be kept shorter than two hours, giving more times for socialising, etc. 
I'm all for two one-hour or even shorter presentations.

4. Following a discussion with Eddie about hosting a Ruby club in TAU, it was 
decided to form an OSDClub (Open Source Developer's Club - an extension of 
http://www.osdc.org.il/ ) where we discuss dynamic languages and related 
topics (Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, Tcl, JavaScript, HTML, Apache, Lisp etc.) in 
general rather than having a lot of clubs for each topic. 

Not that the individual clubs are bad, but Eddie and I will have a harder time 
hosting a Ruby club in TAU than a OSDClub. I'd like to go forward with this 
idea as well. The OSDClub will have one monthly meeting.

Regards,

Shlomi Fish

Any chance for Monday instead of Sunday  ?

Re: Cable Internet

2007-04-20 Thread Yaron Zabary


  And now for some facts about HOT cable service.

  Cables:

  When you connect to HOT, you get a cable modem that (usually) has 
Ethernet connection. When you connect something (router or PC) to that 
port and issue a DHCP request, you are assigned, as usual, an IP 
address. The IP address assigned depends on your connection type.


   Option 1: Your ISP told HOT that your are their customer. HOT DHCP 
assigns you an address from a pool that belongs to the ISP and routes 
all your traffic to that ISP. A router for that option need to be able 
to issue a DHCP request on its WAN link.


   Option 2: You are an 'open access' client. You get an IP address in 
the range 172.20.0.0/16-172.29.0.0/16. These addresses can access a 
restricted set of routers that belong to the ISPs. On top of that 
connection you can run whatever your ISP chose to do. Some (such as TAU) 
do PPTP, some do L2TP, but they can also do IPSEC, GRE or whatever they 
like. This is more flexible because you can switch ISPs without 
problems. A router for that option need to be able to issue a DHCP 
request and then run PPTP/L2TP using this IP address. I have seen 
routers which cannot do that, so you should check your router for that 
feature (you need to choose PPTP/L2TP and then in the IP address field 
you need to specify DHCP).


 So, a router for a HOT cable connection need to have an Ethernet WAN 
link. I haven't seen routers which have a coax connection and eliminate 
the need for a cable modem, so compatibility in that respect is not as 
issue.


  Enjoy.

Hello,

Apologies for jumping onto a mailing list and posting right away.  I 
realise it's bad form and I hope you'll forgive me for that.


Apologies for also not reading the list FAQ at

   xC: Undefined variable: REQUEST_URI

   xC: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by

I posted my query to gnubies-il yesterday but I haven't seen it appear 
yet, so thought I'd post it here in stead.


I'm about to move to Israel with my wife.  We've managed to land 
ourselves a good deal for cable Internet, and I've been reading 
conflicting information about how it works.  The howto at 
http://tx.technion.ac.il/~eyalroz/linux_cable_pptp.html says that 
everyone uses PPTP.  The howto at http://iglu.org.il/amit/cable seems to 
indicate that this was changing, and the IGLU FAQ says all you need is a 
DHCP client and the cable modem.  I've also heard from other sources 
that it uses PPPoE.  So which is it?


Thanks in advance for any help you can give.  It's confusing trying to 
get technical questions answered from the other side of the world when 
you don't speak the language.


Geoff.
