Just a reminder that the next seattle mono user’s group meeting is today at 4:00. Anyone interested in C#, Mono, or .NET in general is invited to come (but if we see you boot windows on your laptop we might chase you out of the room =). The location and any other comments are on [...]

All I wanted was to drag my photos over to my server using nautilus and have them be accessible to the web, and obviously mod_autoindex wasn’t quite sufficiant. So rather [...]
