COUNTDOWN TO SHUTDOWN
|
||
|
|
---------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sixty-one days till I say "GOODBYE" to good ole U of F. Thus far there are
|
||
|
|
THREE people who have mentioned interesting in taking over the demo site.
|
||
|
|
They are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) belgo@gnu.ai.mit.edu
|
||
|
|
2) crt@tiamat.umd.umich.edu
|
||
|
|
3) z_tompsettcj@ccsvax.sfasu.edu
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mail me at: dmw@sioux.ee.ufl.edu if you are interested. I plan on making a
|
||
|
|
decision in the next few weeks.

||

STATS BACK
|
||
|
|
==========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The WASP site has the old stats back. This STAT gives info like # of
|
||
|
|
logins, where logins came from and frequency of each, frequency of files
|
||
|
|
downloaded, and the total file size downloaded among other things.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of course ftp.uwp.edu has more interesting stats--like which directory
|
||
|
|
had the most files downloaded from and the file size downloaded from
|
||
|
|
each directory.

SPRING BREAK
|
||
|
|
\\\\\\\\\\\\\
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I invite anyone who will be visiting Florida for vacation (Spring Break/
|
||
|
|
whatever) to drop by. I live in Gainesville which is located in the NORTH
|
||
|
|
Central location of the state. A major highway runs 5 miles from the
|
||
|
|
campus.

TV SHOWS
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One of my favorite TV shows was OUTER LIMITS. I have, over the last couple
|
||
|
|
years, been able to collect 18 episodes thanks to TNT showing TWO OUTER
|
||
|
|
LIMITS marathons--9 hours each time. I am looking to collect the other
|
||
|
|
(however many) episodes. They are all in B/W and one of the BEST TV shows
|
||
|
|
I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. I am also looking for the classic
|
||
|
|
One Step Beyond episodes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other favorites of mine include Twilight Zone (old and new), Amazing Stories,
|
||
|
|
One Step Beyond, Ray Bradbury Theatre, and Night Gallery. I have been
|
||
|
|
lucky enough to see almost EVERY Twilight Zone episode over the 5-7 years
|
||
|
|
I watched it in syndication.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other strange shows I have enjoyed include Invaders (Remember the fingers),
|
||
|
|
Dr. Who, Six Million Dollar Man, My Favorite Martian, The Incredible Hulk,
|
||
|
|
Highway to Heaven, Cliffhangers (Does anyone remember this), Freddy's
|
||
|
|
Nightmares, Monsters (Excellent), and The Dark Side (Awesome show).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What do TV shows have to do with demos? Nothing really I just though
|
||
|
|
I would stick in some of my favorite shows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BTW: ARMY OF DARKNESS is really EVIL DEAD III. EVIL DEAD II was the BEST
|
||
|
|
horror movie I have ever seen!

|
||
|
|
on doing everything I can to GO. Anyone else out there going? Anyone
|
||
|
|
live in CHICAGO, IL?
