Techlinks talk

I did a talk this afternoon mostly about withdrawing insecure access to Hermes. Surprisingly few questions...

I did the slides using Eric Meyer's S5 which seems quite fun, though it suffers from the browser compatibility farce that plagues the web. (see also...)

Yes, the house style was a fair amount of work. I couldn't use our web people's standard house style because (I think) the <div> wrapper screwed up the formatting. (This also matters wrt my idea for adding xhtml formatting to my experimental atom feeds so they look nice in a browser by themselves.)

RT is another thing I'm interested in. We're going to have to change the email routing arrangements for postmaster@ soon, so we might as well do a proper job of it and add RT to the mix. IWBNI it became a pilot for our other contact addresses, webmaster@ and help-desk@.

Yeah, that's a good way of getting your foot in the door - we're using it for some of our internal staff support stuff, and some people want to standardise on 1 departmental ticketing system (our institution did an library/computing service merge a few years ago). A badly configured remedy setup doesn't really appeal compared to the wonder that is RT...

There's full XHTML/CSS-P implementation of the Uni house style at http://www.jsss.group.cam.ac.uk/ if that's of interest which has been in use for a year or so.
