Success is accomplished each moment. It is whatever you are doing and wherever you are. Your promotions are the reward for the successes. -- Horst Schulze ----------------------------------------------------------------- FIDONEWS 21-42 Page 2 18 Oct 2004 ================================================================= EDITORIAL ================================================================= Fidonet on the Web OK, so it seems I got what I asked for, albeit not in the format I would have preferred. Ergo, all our readers of the FIDONEWS echo now get a re-run of Thom's contribution, but here, later in this issue, it is, nevertheless. It will be repeated in the Snooze for at least a couple of weeks, probably more. As for this, obviously rather sensitive matter of "who's got the biggest Snooze site on the 'net'", let me just remind all of you contestants, that so far, I haven't found any site that have the same fantastic Snooze availability that the old fidonews.org site had. Anyone that ever visited Jim's .org site know what I'm talking about. Reading the Snooze, neatly presented article by article rather than in the text format, that hundreds of sites have to offer, makes a huge difference to the readers. If there's anyone out there, that can offer the Snooze in the same fantastic format that Jim did, feel free to contact the Snooze editor, and I sure as h*ll will put a link to your site in the end of the Snooze. As a service to those of you, that want to have a go at this challenge, I've created a file echo, simply called SNOOZE, that has all the Snooze articles as separate files in it, so you don't have to make your robot try to figure out all the "new page" and other stuff, to make HTML-pages of the articles. Feel free to contact your nearby mail hub to get this file echo. If you cannot find it somewhere, drop me a mail and I'll be happy to set up a direct link to you. If I had the time, and, even more importantly, the bandwidth, I would of course set up a fidonews.org alike site myself, but unfortunately that's not the case, so I leave it to all you HTML-wizards out there to pick up that special baton. I just hope that at least one or two of you know how to handle extended character sets, there's very little of that on any of the Snooze related sites today. * * * * And please, don't forget to contact Robert Couture with information about Fidonet related software. You don't even have to be the author, to do that. If you find some really good, Fido-related, s/w somewhere, don't hesitate to contact Robert, so that he can check out if it's of value to the rest of our readers. Some entries in the list have now been removed, and some have been added. I urge all of you to proof read the list, and send any comments to Robert, so that we all can help make the list as reliable as possible. ----------------------------------------------------------------- FIDONEWS 21-42 Page 3 18 Oct 2004 ================================================================= IN THE SNOOZE TEN YEARS AGO ================================================================= Dear Editor-Beings Prelude: While holding his nose, Charles Herriot (1:163/110) submits the latest missive from Doc Logger which was delivered by courier wrapped around a large quantity of polar bear livers. In a postscript, Logger suggests that the inclusions are to be used in some form of ritual involving Fidogods. Roll da flic, Sylvia.... Uncle Bill's Home for Wayward TonTon Macoutes, Armalite, Argentina S0D 0RF Dear Reverend Visage, I was dismayed that you had ventured to one of the more dangerous parts of the world. While Mr. Bill was sending thousands of troops to correct traffic patterns in Haiti, more people died of gunshot wounds in downtown Washington, D.C. than had died of unnatural causes in the preceding two months of ugliness in Port Au Prince. You have to admire the priorities at work and the Excited States must be positively drooling at the prospect of helping Iraq locate the border markers in Kuwait. I was further dismayed to read in the paper that Prince Charles had sixteen badgers shot on one of his estates. It seems that he was worried that they would somehow pass on TB to his cattle, but the *real* reason must have something to do with the fact that they were poised to write a salacious kiss-n-tell story involving Princess Di. You can't trust badgers, Visage, as I've mentioned on more than a few occasions and its a darned fine thing to see our future monarch doing something other than expressing a desire to live in the trousers of his paramours. Ms. Labamba was positively gushing when she mentioned that the large crate of inflatable Hillary Clinton dolls had arrived from Rick Arnold at Rune's Rag (1:2601/522). Dooya think that if I mentioned Rune's Rag ( a fine electronic publication, available from 1:2601/522) that Rick would send the batteries that appear to be missing from the aforementioned shipment? I hesitate to mention Net250 after you had me followed by trained marksmen armed with Thorazine tipped blowguns, but it appears that our beloved but non-sentient RC, Rick "Bury The Rest of Me At Wounded Knee" Johnston, is about to embark on another act of abject idiocy. It seems that he is about to overrule a policy complaint that was filed and rejected by the NC250. The complaint itself, was so profoundly childish and snivelling that it wouldn't have been taken seriously by a kindergarten teacher, but Rick "The Night of The Living Unread" Johnston has applied his keen jurisprudent mind to the issue. Look for flaming nodenumbers on the Northern horizon as this saga sinks deeper into the slimepit. FIDONEWS 21-42 Page 4 18 Oct 2004 I understand now, why you were unable to locate the ZC, Bob Satti (cue the plague of frogs), in your rambling through Canada's west. Apparently, Mr. Satti (sacrificing another hamster in deference to the Fidogods) has opined that he will see Nets 163 & 243 force marched to the altar before his term expires. Mercifully, he has also stated that he cannot turn his attention to the divorced Ottawa nets until the range warfare in Region 13 is subdued. Might I suggest, as a measure of the kind of deep concern that we feel towards these things, that we air freight our four hundred pound Samoan attorney to Region 13 so that their squabbles are prolonged long enough to outlast Mr. Satti's (cue the flood) tenure? On almost the same issue, I note that in the Z1-Election echo, various Fidogods keep citing PeeFour as some sort of Divine Doctrine. It would be unsurpassing rude of me, I suppose, to point out that PeeFour was never ratified, never voted upon, and has all the authority of Cheese Whiz. The fact that PeeFour entrenches the incestuous clubbiness of Fidogods is reason enough to place the document in a position where the sun doesn't shine and someday the elflords who keep invoking it will learn that the sysop peasantry don't need to be "controlled." The Z1_Election denizens are debating whether the secular state of *EC-beings can create their own policy nightmare. They miss the point entirely, in that the more rules they create, the more Fidocriminals they will engender. I must go Visage, your secretary has the kind of bovine gleam in her eye that Rudolph must have had the day he met Bambi, and I have no desire to father any children whose noses glow red in the dark. As a good and decent gesture, I suggest that we send her to the White House where she can become one of Mr. Bill's UnderSecretaries. Her distemper has nothing at all to do with the fact that the Snooz editors refused to honour your expense tab from Washington for the services of "St. Brigitte's All Nude Girl's Tuba Marching Band." I think it was the tubas, Visage, because Don Tees was heard to mutter something about the value of "art."

A webring is a method where sites having a common theme advertise other websites with simailar themes. The advantage to the webring concept is that in theory, the sites have an interest in maintaining an accuate listing and can modify their own listings on a site by site basis. It appears that there are two fidonet webrings....the long-running system at http://b.webring.com/hub?ring=fidonet and another at http://www.fidonet.us/fidoring/ The ring at webring.com is larger, but forces the viewer to look at google ads panels. The smaller ring at fidonet.us does not dpend on adverstising revenue from ads. Sysops with Fidonet related websites should consider joining one or both rings.

If you could type it on your keyboard, it's probably quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters. b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index, the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you may want to add some other address where you can be reached for personal comments. c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 12:00 UTC. Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file extension of the correct subject on the file name if known..

Put a .TXT on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews. If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I can not fix and I need your help on it. FIDONEWS 21-42 Page 14 18 Oct 2004 Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to: Bj”rn Felten Fidonet 2:2/2 E-Mail bfelten @ telia dot com IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper folder. Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article. That way I will know to look for it. ----------------------------------------------------------------- FIDONEWS 21-42 Page 15 18 Oct 2004 Credits, Legal Infomation, Availability + -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- FIDONEWS STAFF - -- -- -- -- -- -- -- + | | | Editor: Bj”rn Felten, 2:2/2 | | Crash mail attached: Editor@2:2/2 | | E-Mail attached: bfelten @ telia dot com | | Webmaster: Jim Barchuk, jb@fidonews.org | | Columnist: Frank Vest - Frank's Column | | | + -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- + + -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - EDITORS EMERITI - -- -- -- -- -- -- -- + | | | Tom Jennings, Thom Henderson, Dale Lovell, Vince | | Perriello, Tim Pozar, Sylvia Maxwell, Donald Tees, | | Christopher Baker, Zorch Frezberg, Henk Wolsink, | | Doug Meyers, Warren D.
