Slashdot Mirror
Computer Services for Students?
FreeCycles asks: "I'm one of the staffers of an all-volunteer university group that provides free shell, mail, and web accounts to students, faculty, and staff. Thanks to the generous donation of a certain famous server manufacturer, we suddenly now have more processing power and storage than we need to sustain our current offerings, and we are trying to figure out what else we could offer the university community. Since many Slashdot readers are current or former university students, what do you wish your university provided to you?"
More web environments would be nice (PHP, Perl, Ruby on Rails).
Maybe this is the wrong place to ask this, but how does Python compare to those others in terms of web development?
Stop Global Warming!
Just say no to irreversible processes!
Im just graduating final year engineering. Thought I would make a addressbook so you can be reminded to get in touch with fellow students. Ive called it www.addressbook.ws. Below is email Im sending out tomorrow once the domain name propogates. In the mean time www.astro.org.nz/addressbook.
Hello fellow students,
Now our paths are diverging it is important to keep in touch so we can laugh at each other's wrinkles later on.
A few months ago I lost my address-book, and dozens of contact details. So I made an online address-book which I could access anywhere and would be safe!
Then I thought that it would be cool if my address-book reminded me to get in touch with people every 6 months or so. So I designed a website to send me emails of people I haven't talked to in a while.
And before I knew it, Voila! The friendly online address-book was born. I thought I would share this with you rascals so you too can keep in touch with each other, and with your business-networks as they grow in the future.
So you can find it here: www.addressbook.ws
Save it too your favourites! It's the last address-book you'll ever need. Let me know if you have any suggestions/requests. This isn't like "MySpace". You don't need a "profile". This is simply a copy of your own personal address-book which emails you =P. You can add new contacts, such as job networks, or student buddies to make sure you keep in touch as time passes.
Goodluck for exams
