Hello all, I am looking to buy a digital camera, mainly to photograph my Lego models. I also want to be able to print some 8 x 10's. I want to know what features I should look for to meet my needs (hows many megapixels, etc.). Thanks, Max (20 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

I've got a question for all you web gurus. I'm start work on chicago-builders.org and I am hesitant to just copy the ground work I've already laid over at <http:www.michlug.org michlug.org>. Things I'm looking for: A good way to post news to the (...) (20 years ago, 27-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)

(...) That's pretty much what I'm thinking too... provide tools for anybody to publish LENNI-enhanced feeds from their own sources, and provide other tools for readers, either web-based or desktop/compiled. And as a side benefit, I also see the (...) (20 years ago, 26-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish)

(...) I saw a centralised server as an aggregator, not the primary source of the original content. I think there's a desire to be able to aggregate feeds from many places and present them blended together. Once aggregated, some specific filtering (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Why have a centralized server? I'd expect there be a list of feeds someplace, and maybe mirroring of feeds... But it would make a lot of sense to have each feed hosted off the service that generates it. Unless LENNI wants to support remote (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish)

(...) As for charsets, AFAIK ISO-8859-1 covers 17 languages, including English, German, Dutch and French. Nevertheless, every news publisher should try to keep his data within this charset when working with LENNI. I.e. I have to be aware of some (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Adding tags to the spec isn't "expensive" - and since clients won't be required to implement support for new tags, unless they want to, I say, let's think of anything we can want, and then decide if it's worth adding to the spec or not. :) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish)
