True. A story post the week of is a good idea.

What I'd like to do is dynamically generate a flyer taking the info
out of the DB for the calendar entry and plugging it into a generic
flyer. Shouldn't be too hard to do. Of course that means the flyer
needs to in HTML. Although I may be able to dynamically gen PDF
From PHP as well.

I eliminated a lot of stuff out of postnuke in an effort to make the
site cleaner. Hope it's working.

Either way. If we can secure a location then we can divvy up the
contact list and get it rolling.

I am too. I've been using it as a firewall/http proxy/wireless access
point with IPSEC on a PI-75 for a few years now. How about
a September meeting with this topic? 3.3 should be out by then
and we have some other topics in line as well.

Talk about altq and authpf as well. pf is incredible.
