And Alex Harford sent $20 and Anthony Smith sent $50. THANK YOU! Finalizing the programmer I will hire. Both want me to download a Microsoft Deveopment environment on the server so I can compile the source they give me. One is pushing VC++, the other VB. I know more VB than VC++ but I can manage either. Any advice on which one I should invest in? -- James Newton 1-970-462-7764=20 -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu] On Behalf Of James Newton Sent: Friday, August 27, 2010 15:54 To: 'Microcontroller discussion list - Public.' Subject: RE: [OT] piclist.com archive up but no updates or full text search Brian Harris donated $150 toward fixing up the site, and I've received thre= e bids for the project from vworker... the lowball bid doesn't look promising= , and I'm waiting to see what the other two will actually want to charge, but things are looking good! I can't tell you how much I appreciate people putting their money on the line to support the site and archive. It helps to restore my faith in humanity, and lately, that has needed some restoring... LOL... I've also put in some time trying to figure out how to access the file inde= x from the site to implement a local search. You can always google search the site, (just add "site:piclist.com" to the start of your search string) but google hasn't indexed anything like the entire archive. A local content search is really necessary, and I'm amazed that there is apparently no documentation on how to set it up in this new version of the server. I may end up starting another vworker project if I can't find anything more on my own or from the M$ forums. As always, David Cary and I continue to update pages here and there, adding new and interesting bits of information and attempting to improve the organization and cross linking of the pages. Any assistance with that would be greatly appreciated. -- James Newton 1-970-462-7764=20 -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu] On Behalf Of James Newton Sent: Monday, August 23, 2010 17:54 To: 'Microcontroller discussion list - Public.' Subject: RE: [OT] piclist.com archive up but no updates or full text search I've opened a project request at vWorker (used to be rent a coder) for a program to extract list emails from the server and write them out to a file so I can add them to the archive. I will pay $100 at this point ($50 from Steve and matching funds from me) for a solution and will match funds with anyone else willing to make a contribution to this project. http://www.vworker.com/RentACoder/misc/BidRequests/ShowBidRequest.asp?lngBi= d RequestId=3D1482924 -- James Newton 1-970-462-7764=20 -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu] On Behalf Of James Newton Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2010 12:33 To: 'Microcontroller discussion list - Public.'
