Yes. This is why I mentioned the doctype, and possibly tidy. For example, your page at constitution.org uses an xhtml doctype, but the markup is html. To be xhtml it would need to be converted (tools -> HTML Syntax checking.) Or you could just change the doctype to html, but you may still need to validate everything via tidy. Of course tidy needs to be installed on your system to work. It can be found and installed via yum on redhat.

Last night at midnight it said I had to call the airlines, but when I did they said I had to call during working hours EST, which means 5 AM Pacific time. Turns out Orbitz was off by about $1800 and I understand they do this a lot. After much lost sleep and frustration it seems that the money that was committed contingent on tickets is somewhere between $500-$700 short of my best guess on priceline.com. Actually I'm $300 dollars closer now, but this does not include extra travel between Portland and Seattle for connecting flights or accommodations. I don't feel right spending that much money on me when I owe so much to Andras and Michal, but the money committed for my airfare _must_ be expensed for my travel. So unless someone is compelled to benevolently insist I go in the next 8 hours (as much as $400) I will be sitting this one out. Not that I'm complaining. I've given up and several times and started packing several times. After it's over I can relax. ;-) Of course we can all still buy Andras dinner and I still owe him money. So our funding requirement remains. I just don't feel right allocating too to myself. Many thanks to Joff, Ewald and others for helping out. Maybe I'll just buy lunch as a consolation and send the rest to Andras. ;-) For now I'm either going to go to the gym or take a nap as this rollercoaster ride has left me feeling hungover emotionally and physically. Thanks again to all who have supported us. I've given a little less attention to the project this year but the groundwork has been laid in my business for me to have more time and finances to focus more calmly and consistently on Quanta 4.0. -- Eric Laffoon - Quanta+ Team Leader http://quanta.kdewebdev.org ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 21:43:01 -0700 From: Eric Laffoon Subject: Re: [Quanta] I love airfareplanet.com To: Quanta users list Message-ID: <200508242143.01385.sequitur@kde.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" On Wednesday 24 August 2005 4:17 pm, Eric Laffoon wrote: > Hi all, > just in case anyone is interested those tickets I found at a reasonable > price on orbitz.com...

I got the idea that maybe I could show up late and still get in most of the conference and I figured leaving on a Monday would be unpopular enough, as well as trying for departure from Seattle. It's 3.5 hours drive to SEA-TAC airport for me so that's 7 hours round trip if I'm driven. I figured I could get a cheap flight or catch a bus or train. I found tickets I could afford and began investigating puddle jumper fares. Apparently turboprops are golden because they were charging over $200 for a hop. While looking at this and eating dinner airfares went up $300. Once again I could go and then I couldn't, in a matter of hours. I began to search furiously, even going to a site with "zoo" in the name and finally landing on airfareplanet.com where fares were half what they were anywhere else. It seemed desperately wrong, but I clicked low fare after low fare waiting for it to come back and tell me there was no availability. After a dozen or so times I thought I had done them all and data came up... It set a reservation leaving from Portland at over $400 less than the closest fare and below the amount I had been sponsored for travel. Of course I'm confident I'll get a phone call or email tomorrow that there is some problem with my tickets. ;-) Okay, dinner is on again... for now. Let's hope I don't have to transfer to camelback or something before this is over. ;-) -- Eric Laffoon - Quanta+ Team Leader http://quanta.kdewebdev.org ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Quanta mailing list Quanta@mail.kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/quanta End of Quanta Digest, Vol 29, Issue 28 ************************************** __________ NOD32 1.1201 (20050825) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com _______________________________________________ Quanta mailing list Quanta@mail.kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/quanta
