Spent a bunch of time touring Mambo and figuring out what it does and what it doesn’t.

broken parrot calendar

The interface between our UVM web pages (and iPods) and Oracle Calendar broke witgh the move to parrot. Apparently a known problem with ugly workaround. Toook frank and I a couple of days to track it down and find a (temporary) solution. See

  • Example of the calendar script
  • The particular error condition — CAPI_STAT_API_POOL_NOTINITIALIZED — is not described in my Capi reference manual (release 2.5 August 2002 part no B10097-1). It is here in the Oracle® Calendar  Application Developer’s Guide  Release 2 (9.0.4)   Part No.  B10893-01
  • Changing code to the new 9.0.4 specifications generates a different error. Look here for a description and a fix, of sorts

The latest word from the Oracle SR (which originally told me that they didn’t support the SDK) is that this is a known issue and it is corrected in the 10.1.2.1 version.

Pharos printing in Library

Trying to get Mac-to-Pharos-print-server printing set up in Library. Here’s what Kor told me:

The server is faros.uvm.edu.  The queues are:

Reference Printer – Lexmark T634
   bw_cash_queue
   bw_catscratch_queue

Library Cyber Cafe Black and White – Canon iR6570
   CafeBWCash_queue
   CafeBWCatscratch_queue

Library Cyber Cafe Color Printer – Canon iR C2620
   color_cash_queue
   color_catscratch_queue

CIT – Apple LaserWriter 16/600
   CIT_queue

Nursing – HP Laserjet 4000
   sonlab_queue

Well, after rooting out the Canon and LexMark printer drivers and several failed attempts I got something set up, but so far only error messages appear in the output. Back to the drawing board.

broken parrot

migrated scripts.uvm.edu alias from warthog to parrot. problems thus far:

  • somebody forgot to move FormMail.pl from warthog to parrot. Fixed
  • I edited the SOIT test generator soit_test.pl script for parrot, but apparently skipped the soit_answers.pl script. Fixed. And updated documentation, since Leonord Perry said they were so great.
  • The CT_Cal.pl script was producing unsightly calendars, needed to edit CT_Cal_functions.pl and update old July 14, 1995 code to account for different output from unix cal application

missing and broke media

Ran around in circles with others tracking down broken/missing media files in somebody’s online Jazz course. I think we found a solution. More here.
