|

Friday's Nodelist [227] seems less synchronized than usual but hope
|
||
springs eternal. ZC3 reports Nodelist synch status in his Zone below.
|
||
|
||
Zone 5 now has an Internet address. The FTSC address has changed from
|
||
the previous Nugent URL to the mirror URL operated by Adrian Walker
|
||
who is currently attempting to start a new FTSC [see 1432]. These are
|
||
listed in the FidoNet by Internet section and on the FidoNews webpage.
|
||
There is also updated info on the FidoNet Resource page in this Issue.
|
||
|
||
An effort is underway to save BBSing as a sport in spite of Internet-
|
||
induced losses of audience. That info also appears below.
|
||

Gregg Jennings offers a Guest Editorial following.

FidoPeople
|
||
By Gregg Jennings, 1:331/109
|
||
|
||
[This is not quite an article; more of a letter to the editor, but not
|
||
in reference to any article, so it's a Guest Editorial!]
|
||
|
||
I was writing a friend of mine about a bit of the history of Fido and
|
||
FidoNet, something that I know a little bit about, something that I
|
||
have a unique perspective of, being a Jennings, if you get my meaning.
|
||
|
||
And I used a disparaging remark about the. . . well, I'll just say
|
||
that I was complaining about the FidoDissenters and FidoComplainers.
|
||
|
||
After I had saved the message, it being a form of electronic mail, I
|
||
realized that I was not quite right in my assessment of FidoPeople.
|
||
|
||
In a related issue, that of the FidoDeathKnellers, is that even now in
|
||
Usenet, there are people speaking of the "Death of Usenet", that
|
||
Usenet must "change or die". Pretty eerie ain't it?
|
||
|
||
What I'm getting at is that FidoNet is a pretty cool "place", or
|
||
rather, a pretty cool "thing", or even more `rather', a pretty cool
|
||
"implementation of a great idea".
|
||
|
||
Many people make FidoNet work, and boy does FidoNet work! It does. It
|
||
really does. There are more good things than bad, "here".
|
||
|
||
Yeah, I'm sick of hearing the complaints! But so what? We have to hear
|
||
all sides and all views. The worst thing would be one of two things:
|
||
all complaints or nothing at all.
|
||
|
||
Well, we ain't got all complaints! And we still have something!
|
||
|
||
What it boils down to is that there is much good with and within
|
||
FidoNet. I really feel that. I have met, as one can meet "voices" in
|
||
this medium, many good people, good FidoPeople. Yeah there are jerks.
|
||
I've been a jerk, some will say.
|
||
|
||
But I grow. I learn. I change. FidoNet grows and changes. And it will
|
||
grow and change because people really do do things.
|
||
|
||
We must acknowledge those that came before and will come again and are
|
||
here now. Both the "voices" and the developers.
|
||
|
||
So I'm weird! What about you? What is your view?
|
||
|
||
So I don't make sense. Or do I? Do you?
|
||
|
||
If you don't say it. Nobody will.
|
||
|
||
You could be right.

Subj: Help Keep Local BBS's Viable!!
|
||
|
||
* Original to: Al Koller (1:374/3)
|
||
|
||
-------------------------------------------------
|
||
Fellow SysOps - The INTERNET has made a serious negative impact on
|
||
Community Dial-Up BBS's, as we are all aware. We have formed a
|
||
movement to re-awaken Community interest in BBS's and the benefits of
|
||
the LOCAL BBS as an adjunct to their Internet adventures.. :-)
|
||
|
||
Please help us propagate this positive initiative!!
|
||
=================================================================
|
||
Who We Are:
|
||
|
||
The Council for Online Community Alternatives (COCA) was formed in the
|
||
summer of 1997 by a group of dedicated Bulletin Board System (BBS)
|
||
System Operators (SYSOPs) with a common goal....To Keep BBSing Alive!
|
||
|
||
COCA membership is free and open to all sysops, regardless of bbs
|
||
software and geographic location.
|
||
|
||
Our Mission:
|
||
|
||
The mission of the Council for Online Community Alternatives (COCA) is
|
||
to promote BBSes and BBS/Web sites as an "Online Community
|
||
Alternative" to mere internet browsing and to bring awareness to
|
||
computer users of the availability of "Local Community BBS's" in their
|
||
area.
|
||
|
||
It has become apparent with the growth of the internet that the role
|
||
of the community based BBS has become unclear and the awareness of
|
||
their existence obscure.
|
||
|
||
It is the premise of COCA that in recent years millions of people, who
|
||
never owned computers prior, went out and bought computers to seek out
|
||
the benefits of online communication. The internet was not only widely
|
||
publicized, but has become a business and educational tool, and is
|
||
known to most people in today's modern society across the world.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Our Goals:
|
||
|
||
1) To make the public aware that BBSes are in existence and that the
|
||
vast majority of them address most, if not all, of today's concerns
|
||
with the shortcomings of the internet.
|
||
|
||
FIDONEWS 14-33 Page 5 18 Aug 1997
|
||
|
||
|
||
The internet has value and a place in today's world. However, it's
|
||
enormity and lack of organization tend to leave countless numbers of
|
||
people yearning for something more.
|
||
|
||
2) To make the public aware of the Local Community BBS's in their
|
||
area. Many new computer owners are not aware of the existence of the
|
||
Local BBS. They need to be advised and educated.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Channels of Communication:
|
||
|
||
Communication and education are the keys to making the public aware
|
||
of bbs's.
|
||
|
||
COCA maintains a variety of methods to keep communications open
|
||
between it's members:
|
||
|
||
1) COCA Listserve (promote@atlsky.com)
|
||
|
||
To join send an e-mail to listserve@atlsky.com
|
||
put SUBSCRIBE PROMOTE in the body of the message
|
||
|
||
2) COCAnet BBS Network
|
||
|
||
COCAnet was started as an effort to archive the listserve messages. It
|
||
has evolved into a 5 conference network to allow members without
|
||
e-mail access to read the listserve messages and have 2-way
|
||
communications with other COCA members. The COCAnet info packet is
|
||
available for download on the COCA Website. COCAnet is available via
|
||
dial-up, telnet, WWW, e-mail and ftp in both QWK and FTSC formats.
|
||
|
||
3) PROMOTE_BBS is a new conference on FIDOnet
|
||
|
||
This conference is gated to a conference of the same name on COCAnet.
|
||
It has been posted in the FIDOnet ECHOLIST conference and that posting
|
||
is copied below for your information. For FIDOnet sysops interested
|
||
in carrying the conference on their BBS, please keep this information
|
||
and note that the conference will be listed in the September 1st Elist
|
||
file (ELIST709.TXT):
|
||
|
||
4) COCA Web Site - http://coca.home.ml.org
|
||
|
||
Our web site consists of many different areas of interest and
|
||
new pages are added all the time.
|
||
|
||
Highlights include:
|
||
|
||
a) List of Member BBS's
|
||
b) List of Members and their Bio's
|
||
c) Calendar of Events
|
||
d) Web Site Information Update Form
|
||
|
||
5) COCA ICQ LIST
|
||
|
||
If you are running ICQ add your name to the list at:
|
||
http://cocalist.home.ml.org
|
||
FIDONEWS 14-33 Page 6 18 Aug 1997
|
||
|
||
|
||
6) COCA Web Ring
|
||
|
||
If you run a bbs on the internet add it to the Web Ring at:
|
||
http://cocalist.home.ml.org
|
||
|
||
7) COCA IRC Chat Meetings
|
||
|
||
The Steering Committee meets every Wednesday.
|
||
Public Chat Meetings are held alternating Tuesdays/Thursdays
|
||
every other week. See the Calendar for details.
|
||
|
||
Join the effort! Join COCA!! Let's keep Community BBS's viable!

It's the Human Way
|

by Lee Kindness, 2:259/7, wangi@earthling.net
|
||
|
||
A response to Steve Woodmore's article titled "A response to lee
|
||
Kindness's Counter proposal InetTM flags" (which didn't contain
|
||
anything relevant to my counter proposal) in FIDONEWS 14-31, 4 Aug
|
||
1997.
|
||
|
||
SW> I am a "doer" not a "talker", in other words if I see
|
||
SW> something that I think needs doing, i will try and do
|
||
SW> it, and not just sit Around flapping my lips and trying
|
||
SW> to insult everyone that attempts anything.
|
||
|
||
Right, what you're trying to say is that i'm a 'talker' and not
|
||
'doer'. Indeed. I'm quite sure past posts and articles by myself would
|
||
prove otherwise...
|
||
|
||
And Steve, you are a 'talker' - the worlds fastest i do believe ;)
|
||
|
||
SW> However your petty insults at the beginning are
|
||
SW> indicative of every thing that is wrong in fidonet today,
|
||
SW> you just couldn't write something constructive could you?,
|
||
SW> you just had to have your little dig, didn't you? Next time
|
||
SW> you respond to someone who is trying to improve the network
|
||
SW> for all of us, step out from behind your petty little ego,
|
||
SW> and think of the reasons as to why people do things.
|
||
|
||
Yes I took a dig at you but it was part of article which was overall
|
||
very positive. I am a human - I have opinions, I am as petty as the
|
||
next man and I will show it! I'm not a emotionless robot!
|
||
|
||
Fidonet is about communication, and communication is personal. I will
|
||
always voice my opinions and stand up for my views! No matter how
|
||
petty they may be...
|
||
|
||
Anyway Steve, you're hardly they guy to be lecturing me or anyone else
|
||
about pettiness!

Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 03:33:13 GMT
|
||
|
||
Okay ... I'm here at work when I should be home asleep. So while I'm
|
||
waiting for a program to finish so I can see if it works, I started
|
||
surfing the web. Somehow I hit a reference to "Fidonet" so I start
|
||
think "hmmm ... I wonder what's happening in that world since I left
|
||
it."
|
||
|
||
And I kept trying to remember the names of some of the people I "met"
|
||
through Fidonet. One guy I recalled was the regional whatever and was
|
||
18/14 before I was 18/14 ... but I couldn't remember his name so I
|
||
started looking for more Fidonet stuff on the Internet.
|
||
|
||
I run across a page with FidoNews on it ... boy that brings back
|
||
mem...uhh... wait a minute ... that's the guy - Chris Baker!
|
||
|
||
I sort of left the BBS world behind when I moved from Fort Walton
|
||
Beach to Orlando and discovered the Internet. But some of my BBS past
|
||
remains - the program Oblio which I wrote to help me create and
|
||
maintain my web pages (www.jadebox.com) is based on the interpreter in
|
||
the BBS program, Oratorio, which I wrote and had used to host the
|
||
RSBBS (1:366/14).
|
||
|
||
Can you believe that there were only 400 nodes in the nodelist when I
|
||
joined FidoNet? Can you believe I still recognize several names in
|
||
the current FidoNews?
|
||
|
||
Anyway ... it's late. I should be home and sleeping, so I better go
|
||
before the 16 cans of "Surge" I've consumed today catch up with me
|
||
....
|
||
|
||
Take care ... and ....

|
||
Here's another story you might like to share ....
|
||
|
||
I first met Lloyd Wood when I began visiting BBSs over 10 years ago.
|
||
He ran the "Hot Muddy Duck" in Shalimar, Florida. I lived nearby in
|
||
Fort Walton Beach. Although "Woody" was somewhat older than me and our
|
||
FIDONEWS 14-33 Page 10 18 Aug 1997
|
||
|
||
|
||
views on just about every subject were different, we became friends.
|
||
On his BBS or in person, Woody was never shy about stating his
|
||
opinion. But he always did so with an endearing, warm sense of humor.
|
||
|
||
I think I talked Woody into joining Fidonet. He had resisted for a
|
||
while - I think he just didn't want to have to fight with the
|
||
required software - but, I guess the prospect of a larger audience and
|
||
more conversation got to him and he joined our net as 366/73.
|
||
|
||
As you might be able to tell by the node number he chose, Woody was an
|
||
amateur radio enthusiast. One day he was 50 feet up an antenna mast
|
||
when he suffered a heart attack. Fortunately, the antenna's site was
|
||
just a block from a hospital and Woody recovered well.
|
||
|
||
The experience gave him a new soapbox. He began preaching the
|
||
benefits of a healthy lifestyle. I recall that he told me once that
|
||
one ounce of chocolate has the same amount of fat as seventy pounds of
|
||
fish. I think my reply was something like, "well, I'd rather eat one
|
||
ounce of chocolate than seventy pounds of fish ...." That's a good
|
||
example of how most of our on-line conversations went.
|
||
|
||
About three years ago I moved from Fort Walton beach to Orlando. I
|
||
retired my BBS (the RSBBS) and joined the Internet crowd. I also lost
|
||
contact with a lot of my BBS friends including Woody.
|
||
|
||
Some time passed and one day I received an e-mail message from Woody.
|
||
He'd gotten connected to the Internet and somehow had found my
|
||
address. We began exchanging messages and he signed me up to his joke
|
||
mailing list. He also connected me with a few others I had known back
|
||
in my Fidonet days.
|
||
|
||
Only a few weeks after we began exchanging e-mail, I heard from a
|
||
mutual friend that Woody had died in his sleep. Of course, I was
|
||
really saddened - I had lost a friend of many years. But as I look
|
||
back on it, I'm so happy that e-mail had been able to bring us back
|
||
together, if only for a short time.
|
||
|
||
Thanks to BBSs, FidoNet, and the Internet, I - and many others - had
|
||
the pleasure of knowing Lloyd Wood. 73.

Subj: Nodelist Synchronisation
|
||
|
||
G'day Christopher!
|
||
|
||
As of nodelist 227 the Zone 3 issue contains:
|
||
|
||
Zone 1 = 143
|
||
Zone 2 = 206
|
||
Zone 4 = 220
|
||
Zone 5 = 213
|
||
Zone 6 = 164
|
||
|
||
The Zone 2 segment should have been 227 but an error in my new setup
|
||
missed incorporating the difference files I had managed to obtain.
|
||
|
||
I still have to obtain a complete segment for Zones 1 and 6 to bring
|
||
them back into sync with what turns up in ZSEGS, but we also need to
|
||
locate and fix whatever is causing the odd file to be lost in the
|
||
ZSEGS file distribution.
|
||
|
||
I expect that a working file distribution will correct much of the
|
||
problem.

Subject: Second good one today...
|
||
From: wsl3@juno.com (William S Lockwood III)
|
||
|
||
Internally, Microsoft has been naming its products after cities, with
|
||
names such as "Memphis", and "Cairo".
|
||
|
||
If this trend takes off in the software industry as a whole, we may
|
||
see some more cynical names being used ...
|
||
|
||
"Bataan" - A team of programmers pull a series of all-nighters and
|
||
drive themselves to the point of collapse in order to meet the
|
||
release date.
|
||
|
||
"Stalingrad" - The project turns out to be far more difficult than
|
||
expected. Management responds by assigning more and more programmers
|
||
to the development effort, but it ultimately fails.
|
||
|
||
"Dresden" - The company that originally owned the product goes down in
|
||
flames. As part of the liquidation, the product ends up in the hands
|
||
of a competitor, who severely mismanages it.
|
||
|
||
"Beirut" - Internal squabbling among the programmers turns the project
|
||
into a basket case. Senior management comes in, kicks some heads,
|
||
and gets the project back on track. But the programmers still hate
|
||
each other.
|
||
|
||
"Carthage" - After two previously unsuccessful releases, a third
|
||
version of the product is released. This also fails. The project's
|
||
programmers are dispersed, and the product's name is never spoken
|
||
again.
|
||
|
||
"Jerusalem" - The ultimate legacy application. Generations of hacks,
|
||
fixes, patches, different operating systems, and changes of
|
||
management have produced an application that is completely
|
||
unmaintainable.
|
||
|
||
"Mumbai" - For reasons best known to themselves, marketing tries to
|
||
sell an existing well-known product under a new name. The typical
|
||
response from customers is a blank stare, followed by "Oh, you mean
|
||
Bombay".
|
||
|
||
"Nanking" - After the developers fail to produce a successful product,
|
||
management punishes the guilty and innocent alike with mass
|
||
sackings.
|
||
|
||
With Gassho,
|
||
