How-To: Tutorials and Walkthroughs
This is a fairly niche application, but at my place of employment I have an Epson Perfection 3170 Photo Scanner. I'm not even using the photo (negative/slide) scanning capabilities, I'm just using it as an ordinary scanner. It is however very fast and unprecedentedly quiet. I wanted to use this scanner under Linux (Epson provides Windows 95+ drivers and MacOS 9+ drivers, but no Linux drivers) sometimes, and on the Mac sometimes.

Okay, so there's already a ton of guides on this particular subject. That's nice. No one guide managed to help me, so I'm writing my own.
Note that Edgy installs AIGLX by default, so we do not need to install it.
Putting GEOS on a GRiDPad 1910 is fairly trivial, assuming you can get the files there in the first place. I sent an email to someone back in 1995 which says most of the same things I say here, but I may have left something out of one file or the other. You can find the file attached to the bottom of this node as "geosinst.txt". The best way to go about all this is to use Palm Connect, if you have access to it - This is PC-GEOS 2.0, which came with a serial cable that connected a Zoomer to a PC. (The same cable, with a null modem adapter and a gender changer, lets you hook up printers, modems and whatnot to your zoomer.) The big deal about THIS particular revision of PC-GEOS is that it comes with handwriting recognition, a notepad app that's fairly decent, a datebook, and a phone directory.
If you are doing much testing of content management systems, you end up needing to clear your database. If you don't want to set permissions up repeatedly, you end up wanting some way to clear all the tables from a database so you can set it up again. I found a way to do this (by googling of course, because I am lazy and do not want to think) that does not require dropping and recreating the database with its attendant permissions.
You might actually be looking for this other page from which I get occasional page referrals. It has ready-made binaries.
sIFR is a tool that replaces text elements in a webpage with some styled flash text. While there are some failings in the tool (currently version 2.0.2, with version 3 now in alpha testing) it is in general the only highly-supported way to use nonstandard fonts in webpages.
I have taken the time and effort to finally make sIFR work on this site; I tried it out a long time ago but ended up being confused. Actually, I'm still confused; when you replace elements, sometimes elements you have no interest in seem to be replaced, even though the generated source (not the original page source, but what's actually rendered) doesn't show any way that the styles should match those elements. I was forced to use more restrictive CSS in the sIFR style sheet than I liked, but it's working out okay so far.
Aristocrat OASIS' stored procedures require some input in order to function properly. The most important elements to understand are the date specification, the iLockKey value, and the iApplication_ID.

When I wrote this document, there was no way to just look up the information in the tutorial documentation (or anything else) on the Aristocrat website.
First Line:

Second Line:
{CDS_ACCOUNT.City1} + ', ' + {CDS_ACCOUNT.State1} + ' ' + {CDS_ACCOUNT.Zip1}
Given that Crystal has no array-sorting functions, there is often a need to write one. An insertion sort is the most efficient of the particularly simple and short sort algorithms, working well with short sets, whether they are already substantially sorted or not.
