give us a URL to the photos. :)

   Anyways, I just visited [46]http://linuxgazette.net and saw the the site is
   "back to normal" (but looks better!) 

     [Ben] Thanks! A lot of credit is due to Rob Tougher who did a wonderful
     job of building the CSS. It's been tweaked a bit since then, but he's the
     man.

   I will subscribe to list, but only if it stays below 50 mails/day, before my
   subscription  was cut there was a lot of noise on the list from people
   talking (mainly) to each other. 

     Then you should be ok -- but bear in mind things fluctuate.

     Well, there is a lot of spam, but we're looking into fixing this. And as
     for the chatter -- that was due to the move from SSC. There is a bit of
     chatter here at the moment, most of which is not Linux related, I should
     add. -- Thomas

     One of our threads this month actually was a technical aside to a line of
     chatter that began off-topic. You never can tell with the Gang, til it's
     all said and done! But, not 50 plus a day, no. -- Heather

   Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against people having fun communicating,
   but I won't have the time to keep track of another 50+ mails/day. 

   I will install the current Gazette on my palm to read on the way home. 

   Back on topic: Articles. 

     Yes, we need articles. Please, put fingers to keyboard and type away! :)
     -- Thomas

   Have Fun!

     You'll be seeing Halb's article soon :D -- Heather

     [Ben] Right now, I'm actually looking for ideas on how to get the word out
     and the direction in which to take LG; having become the Editor-in-Chief,
     I now have to take care of the baby - and I'm a fussy babysitter. :) The
     ideas that have been proposed so far - making LG a bit more professional
     to involve the corporate crowd and advertising in other Linux-related
     media, as well as a number of other specific things to do - sound really
     good to me; however, I'm still open to input.

     You read it here. Gentlefolk, if you've ideas - let us know! -- Heather

Linux Gazette article in issue 103

     Regarding the PopupALT article. -- Heather

   Jimmy:

     I read your article on extensions for Mozilla. Thanks for highlighting
     some! I get more and more impressed with what you can do with Mozilla /
     FireFox.

   I noticed you wondered this at one point:

     PopupAlt Popup ALT does exactly what is says on the tin: it provides a
     popup  of an image's ALT tag when the mouse is placed over it. This
     feature, which was present in Netscape 4, was removed from Mozilla for
     some unknown reason.

   I believe it was taken out since the correct HTML spec says the alt tag is
   only  to be displayed if the browser can not display images. It is not
   supposed to be a "pop up" info. I couldn't find it, but I think there is
   some tag to display a pop up when the mouse hovers.

     [Ashwin N.] The "title" attribute in the "img" tag is shown as popup text
     by most browsers when the mouse cursor is hovered over the image.

     <img src="your_image.jpeg" title="This should show up when you hover your
     mouse over this">

   Anyways, it is a cool extension to show the information, but Mozilla as
   default is now more correctly rendering the page. In fact, the W3 says that
   the alt tag should be used very carefully, and I've seen some really long
   alt tags - this causes problems if your browser translates to voice or
   braille,    which   is   the   purpose   for   the   alt   tag.   See:
   [48]http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#alternate-text 

   Just thought you might be interested in some of the history. 

   C.
