What is the future of Class::DBI? - database

Does anyone know what is the status of Class::DBI? I see that it was last updated on 4 October 2007, is anyone still working on this project or is it just left to die? Thank you.

Class::DBI collapsed under political pressure and the threats of various lawsuits from one of its developers. It became poisoned code and everyone left. I tried to sort it out in a post on my O'Reilly weblog back in 2005.
The people who left never really came back. It's mostly legacy code now. If you want to help, there are other active projects that could use your help. In my opinion, Class::DBI is the past and it should stay there. It's unfortunate, but life sucks sometimes.

A lot of people seem to use DBIx::Class if that helps.

There are many users of Class::DBI, but no new ones, I guess. Some moved to DBIx::Class::CDBICompat. In general, you can ask in Class::DBI mailing list.
If you want, you can help maintain it. Ask where repository is located and start working on bugs in Class::DBI bug tracker.

How to Publicize NuGet Package

Not sure if this is exactly the right place to ask this, so donning my asbestos longjohns here, but
I have/will have some NuGet packages hitting the streets here soon. I don't really have much out there yet, so looking forward to finally contributing something but also not sure how to get the word out. Googling isn't helping much when the semantic space around "publish," "publicize," "popularize," etc. is all taken up with the technical maneuvers of running nuget push. So thought I might ask, anyone know of some good ways to give this stuff some good visibility? Not even trying to monetize here. If nothing else I'd like to get some street cred and feedback, but also just really hoping this stuff helps folks out.
And again, I realize this might not be the best platform for this kind of question. Sorry if that's the case, I'd be happy for someone to tell me where someplace better might be.

Matomo - Tracking without API KEY

I start working with Matomo last week and the Analytics plataform is really interesting and gave me lots of hours extra. However its seems that the plataform has a serious problem with the application authentication, it doesn't have any! This problem allows non-allowed applications to be tracked, which is not really effective...
But this conclusion is kinda my opinion and maybe i should read more documentation.
Can you guys give me a opinion about this, before going deep in the Matomo Plugin SDK?
Thank you!

How to use HSPI?

May be stupid question. I created HSPIPluginB1 project from template, it compiles, runs and connects to HS.
But I've got no idea what to do next? How do I create devices, triggers, etc?
Great question. HSPIPluginB is described here. There's some help in the forum thread linked therein, but, for the most part, that HSPI template doesn't do much more to help. Your best bet, for now, is to hunt through the HS developer forum and documentation (https://homeseer.com/developer-support/). Honestly, it's pretty difficult to write a HomeSeer plugin as is, but that's not the fault of the HSPI project.
Fortunately, I'm working on HSPIPluginC. It's significantly easier to understand, but it's not finished. You can get a glimpse of where I'm going with it by checking out https://github.com/alexdresko/HSPI/issues/77#issuecomment-322885054. If anything, there's probably some useful code in there to help you move forward.
If you have any ideas for how HSPI can be made better, please Create an issue or start up a conversation in the chat room

how to work with drupal?

i am new to drupal and it is irritating me. i have mastered wordpress and SMF forum software to a near expert level. but drupal as well as joomla have made the admin interfaces so totally confusing i wish there was an answer available for me to use and drop them altogether.
i cant get the slide show to show up on the front page or any other page. i cant find in there a sufficient means of manipulating the content blocks and logging and nav blocks. i am not new to computers and programming, and if this was a programming problem, i probably would have fixed it by now, but the interface is so confusing i cant get the site to do anything im wanting it to do.
i have looked at several tutorials that dont help at all. i found out about a part time job my company is offering and i know for fact i can do it if i can get past the fact that the admin interface is a maze of confusion.
theme demo - http://adaptivethemes.com/demos/atcommerce/
my test - http://tse.myfewclicks.com/drupal/
i beg anyone willing to help. i need to have something presentable, at least a good taste by monday. i could have already been done with it with SMF or wordpress, but they are the wrong type of software for the job.
please help someone.
It would appear that you may have solved your problem. I followed your link and the image rotator was working.
About the only difference was that on the AT demo site I was able to click the dots at the lower right hand corner to select the image I wanted whereas on your test site I was unable to do so.

Proper Font Browser dialogs

The System.Windows.Forms.FontBrowser is a pretty horrible piece of work. I'd like to write a custom one, but before I re-invent banging-two-rocks-together, I figured I'd ask if anyone knows an intuitive, friendly and above all simple Font Picker which has been proven in the cauldron of the real world?
I agree with you about how terrible is Windows default font browser.
Some time ago I started to search for a replacement fontdialog, but could not find any (even after some days searching).
So I started to develop one in VB.NET, but never got time to finish it.
This article can help you (as it helped me) to identify what a good font dialog should have. Hope this helps you somehow. link.
If you manage to make one, please let me know! I`d love to test and use it :)
EDIT1: This link can help too.
