EDITORIAL

=================================================================
|
||
|
||
Everyone must be consumed with the World Series [remember, I told you
|
||
the Marlins would be in the Series!] or Echomail since there are only
|
||
three submissions to FidoNews this week. This will be the shortest
|
||
Issue since Teague published only the Masthead. [grin]
|
||
|
||
I've been getting some questions about the FidoNet World Wide Webring
|
||
recently. I guess I need to explain it again to avoid confusion and to
|
||
make sure everyone who wants to join it feels free to do so.
|
||
|
||
A webring is sort of a virtual circle in cyberspace. Along this
|
||
circle, stationed like way points, are web pages or web sites with
|
||
the same theme. In the case of the FWWW, each page/site has something
|
||
to do with FidoNet. It may be a telnet BBS, a list of Nodes, an
|
||
archive of FidoNet files, a list of links to other FidoNet sites, or
|
||
all of the above. The webring organizes these otherwise unconnected
|
||
sites in a group that a web surfer can visit one after the other in a
|
||
circle by using the Next link provided by each participating page.
|
||
|
||
When you first sign-up to join the webring, you fill out some basic
|
||
information including your URL [complete with the http:// please] and
|
||
email address. After that, you download the code blurb that contains
|
||
the actual code to make the webring section on your page [cut and
|
||
paste at your end] and the two graphics [.gifs] needed to complete the
|
||
table. When you successfully complete the Queue entry, email goes back
|
||
to you with your sign-up info for confirmation and email comes to the
|
||
Ringmaster [me, in this case] with the same info.
|
||
|
||
I then go to the URL you've entered and check your page to see that
|
||
the code is properly entered and that you've added your Site number
|
||
[issued at Queue completion] to the code so the webring knows how to
|
||
relate to your page within the webring. When I see that all is
|
||
correctly done, I add your site from the Queue to the Ring and you get
|
||
another automagic message noting your addition to the webring.
|
||
|
||
From then on, any surfer entering the webring at any site can surf
|
||
from site to site to site within the webring until they come back to
|
||
their starting point if they keep at it long enough. The webring is
|
||
sort of like an Internet Nodelist.
|
||
|
||
You try out the FidoNet World Wide Webring by entering it at the
|
||
FidoNews Editor page or from www.fidonews.org and then surfing the
|
||
circle by clicking Next or one of the other control links on each
|
||
site. If you want to join it, click on the FWWW logo in the box and
|
||
you will go right to the FWWW ring page. To join, you only need to
|
||
have FidoNet-related material on your page. You can be a Node, a
|
||
point, a developer, whatever, as long as it relates directly to
|
||
FidoNet.
|
||
|
||
And speaking of the Internet, the FidoNews Editor page has now had
|
||
OVER 6,000 visitors!
|
||
|
||
Enjoy the brevity of this Issue. [grin]

-----Original Message-----
|

From: John Schiaparelli <johnschiap@email.msn.com>

Newsgroups: msn.beta.techbeta
|
||
Date: Wednesday, October 15, 1997 9:23 AM
|
||
Subject: Preview: New MSN Beta "Tatooine" (long)
|
||
|
||
|
||
Usually reliable sources have informed me that MSN is soon to announce
|
||
a new beta program for its user interface. Code named "Tatooine", the
|
||
project will require the full participation of all current beta
|
||
testers. This may require you to upgrade your system to accommodate
|
||
Tatooine's new features.
|
||
|
||
System requirements: Cray Mark 1 supercomputer running Windows 2010,
|
||
at least 128 Megs Ram, 15 Gigs hard disc space, laser holographic
|
||
projection system, 'ride-in' gyroscope (of the type seen at county
|
||
fairs or amusement parks), VRML body suit, thought recognition
|
||
software or similar pointing device, T1 Internet connection dedicated
|
||
for MSN use only.
|
||
|
||
Those without the above configuration can attempt to run Tatooine on
|
||
their current system, but your online experience may be slow. Note:
|
||
substitute a piece of plywood balanced on a bowling ball for the
|
||
gyroscope and pair of cardboard sunglasses with one red and one green
|
||
lens for body suit. New features in Tatooine include a holographic
|
||
mailman (a tall, lanky fellow with glasses who answers to "Bill") who
|
||
uses the latest "push" technology to deliver mail to your desktop -
|
||
your real desktop, not your monitor! Tatooine will also alert you
|
||
automatically to developing El Ninos, impending Imperial Stormtrooper
|
||
raids and the approach of any Borg vessels. Due to the highly
|
||
technical nature of Tatooine, the MSN development team decided that
|
||
the term "bug" was insufficient to describe problems. Included with
|
||
Tatooine Beta will be a new MSN "Tribble" reporting program for such
|
||
events.
|
||
|
||
Interesting note: it is rumored that Bill Gates new mansion cost so
|
||
much to build because he was installing a pre-Beta ("Omega") of
|
||
Tatooine. You will receive your Tatooine software parcel post COD
|
||
from a central mail drop facility in Bosnia. The Tatooine Beta
|
||
development team actively solicits your suggestions for features.

P.S. : Violation of the Tatooine Non-Disclosure Agreement will result
|
||
in the forfeiture of a vital organ, so keep this between us. Remove
|
||
"nospam" from email address to reply. I love the canned variety, not
|

the cyber variety.
