Outback Steakhouse is pretty decent for the money.

It's the closest "good" restaurant to my house, so we have a lot of
visiting-relative and birthday dinners there.

There's also a nice local Italian restaurant in the same center, which we
went to the last time my parents visited because Outback was backed up. A
man comes to our table, asks if there is anything we need. "More bread,
more wine?" I said "You must be the boss". He replied "No, here, YOU da
boss!"

We're going back.

We have one like that here in Ahwatukee Foothills, "Arrivederci".
Family run, everyone talks like they just moved here from Brooklyn ;-)
Marvelous food and service! Portions too large though. I had to
bring home two of the three "luncheon" cannelloni.

While you're there, you can look up "poseur".

No, Dear Mr. Lancaster -- I was referring to the misplaced apostrophe. My
vocabulary includes both words "Lair" and "Poseur".

Since you are so learned that I don't have to explain this to you, I will
explain it for the benefit of any other ignorant doofus who may happen to
be reading this: The way Mr. Lancaster's web page title is written he is
saying the Lair belongs to Don Lancaster's Guru, not that Don Lancaster
is the Guru in the Lair.

I always thought it was a lair intended for use by guru's.

A

Welcome to Don Lancaster's
The Guru's Lair

The only problem I see is the "The". Drop that, and
it's clearer.

Kris

Actually the "The" makes it correct grammar. Drop the "The" and you
have "Lancaster's Guru's"... what the hell does that mean?

The one that always twists my tongue is "Ruth's Chris Steakhouse" ;-)

Works just fine on my tongue. Went to one in Columbus OH for my wife's
birthday. ;-)

Isn't ASP a proprietary Microsoft technology? What if the person is using

I believe .asp is available from most ISP's these days.

.ASP or a server side equivalent is essential for includes, for banner
rotation, and for customized delivery.

Includes, of course, are essential "subroutines" that you can change at
one place at one time, rather than having to individually hand patch
dozeons if not hundreds of web pages with boilerplate and whatever.

Omitting this tool cripples your website.

Since you normally use only one ISP at a time, this is not nearly as
crucial an issue as making sure all your user's have full browser
capability.

I'm not a web guy, but aren't there non-proprietary ways of accomplishing
the same thing? For example, don't CGI and php let you do magic stuff
behind the scenes without locking your whole web-site into a proprietary
technology controlled by a single company?

Just wondering.

Yes, but after looking at them, .ASP was overwhelmingly better on all
counts.

It was not even remotely close.

CGI and php are cruel and inhuman punishment.

Try this:
ABC company's parking lot.
ABC company's president's parking space.
The construct grammatically correct, and
clear in meaning.

Don Lancaster may have control over, and responsibility
for, numerous places. One of those is named Guru's Lair.
Thus the phrase Don Lancaster's Guru's Lair is gramatically
correct, and clear in meaning.

Excellent comments. I was rolling on the

and an "enterprise" to cruise around.

Of course there are. Apache has server side includes. Banner rotation
can be done any number of ways.

To be fair, Don did say you needed ASP "or server side equivilant."
Fortunately those equivilants are numerous and easy to find.

You missed hiring someone competent to create and manage your

Actually, I didn't find the site to be as bad as all of these people

seem to be saying. Admittedly, it's mainly bloggish fluffery, but
it's readable, and navigable, and it didn't break my browser.

Since I don't know ASP, but I have Apache on Slackware, for something
like that, I'd use "server-side includes". You can recognize them by
the .shtml "extension."

Or, go to a full-on CGI script (or even an executable) and just
spit out whatever you want the viewer to see.

CGI is a protocol, not a language. ASP *is* CGI. It's also useless,
particularly if combined with VBScript rather than JScript.

ASP.NET is a massive improvement over ASP, but if you just want to get
things done, PHP is your man.

You can also set apache to search for includes in .html files; the extra
load on the server is insignificant and you don't have to rename
everything if you're adding them to existing pages.

Its ANGRY NUDE FEMALES WHO LOOK LIKE THAT ZETA-JONES gal

She doesn't look all that angry, to me -

Now, if you're looking for an angry woman, check Janeane Garofalo!
http://www.dynamictruth.com/enemies/garofalo.html
http://www.delafont.com/comedians/Janeane-Garofalo.htm

Or, of course, the usual suspects, Janet Reno, CongoLeeza Rice,
Hilary Clinton, that judge broad - or that other judge broad -
but Mz. Zeta doesn't look all that angry. I'd let her do me.
