please point your browsers to http://www.idmfaq.org NOTE: IT IS NOWHERE NEAR FINISHED. It will be a sizable task (since its going to be done correctly) so I can use all the help I can get. I just got tired of waitin'!!! IDM is D.I.Y. music, so since we never got an FAQ and I really wanted one, I did it myself. Ive offered to help various other parties who had supposedly started this already but I was always reassured there were enough cooks on the kitchen. I understand we all get busy and priorities get pushed around but I was recently offered the opportunity to set this nice LINUX box up for a use like this so it made sense for me to get the ball rolling at least. Its has a 100 baseT connection straight into an OC-3 internet backbone so slam it all you want, it wont go down or slow down ;) Id like to make it more than just an FAQ (as you can see by some of the links I have already started) but you'll get an idea once you get there of what Im talking about. I can do whatever I want on the server, including any database and cgi work so we have the potential to do some pretty cool stuff - Im excited anyway. Lets start on the FAQ part (you'll have to suffer through my lame attempt until some smart people can strip out my liberal abuse of hyphens and run-on sentences!! ). If you are interested in representing your city on the "IDM Travel guide" please state this fact in an email so I can contact you when that page is ready. I hate crazy long URLs so I just registed the idmfaq.org domain - and its easy enough to yell to a drunk across a noisy bar with a decent chance of them remembering it! ALSO please use the E-Mail link on the page (xxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx) for any input/assistance on the site since this is a personal home project and NOT work related. other than that lemme know what you think! damn, here goes nothin', ernie Ernesto Ikerd, (817) 763-4795 Company Graphics, Dept 17, MZ-1156 Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems Fort Worth, Texas
