[SaF] Adminstrative: Coming Attractions
Cross posted to the POP3 and SeeknFind mailing lists VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT --- Hello Poppers, Seekers and Finders. :-) I have contracted with a different web hosting service for the ASHLists domain. The ASHLists domain was relocated to the new servers, yesterday. There are still some domain servers in the world that have not yet updated records, and unfortunately my Mastnet is one of them. However, it should not be long till the domain of ashlists.org points to the correct host for all of us. This new service will provide me more features than the previous host I was using but the feature that means the most to all of us is that my new host gives me UNLIMITED Majordomo list service for no extra charge. Everyone...we are moving our lists. :-) We will be relocated to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Our lists, respectfully, will be: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have info and intro files in place and the lists are configured. I know in these matters there are often glitches that need to be addressed, so I ask your patience as I transfer lists. The ASHLists web site, itself, is going to require more work. However, I do have most pages in place and they are edited to reflect the changes that we are making. The CGI scripts that ran the Subscription Options page and other forms throughout the site, have not been tested on the new servers as of yet. So that may be a while till I get that taken care of. About 75 percent of the autoresponders are in place. I still have a little work to do on those. My immediate plans are to first move subscribers over to the new POP3 list. We will test out the new service first on POP3. If all goes well, then I will then move subscribers over to the new SeeknFind lists. I took this action for two reasons. First, the service we have been getting from fontys.nl had not been the best quality. There were too many down times and the down times themselves each seemed to last for too long of a period of time. I feel like our members deserve better than than and toward that end I have funded what I hope to be a better service for all of us. The second reason was the identity factor. I wanted these lists to have an unqualified identity to ASHLists.org. Placing the lists on the same service as where the domain was located, seemed the logical course to take. So that's it, everyone. There is nothing you need do except save your new welcome letter(s) when it or they arrive to you. After that you then post to the new list addresses. Thank you and wish us all luck. :-) Alan S.

Your picture will return automatically." So how's the weather, there, Ruth? :-) One last thing. I am not sure how this affects those small DSS dishes, but it used to be a [excuse my expression] bitch with a large C-Band dish I owned. Twice a year the sun created outages. Usually happens in the spring and fall. The timing varies depending on where you live. Let me have you read this page with greater explanation on sun outages, as well as how inclement weather can affect DSS reception: http://members.tripod.com/The_Uplinker/tipofthe.html "A loss of signal that manifests itself as signal dropout, digital tiling or frame freezing is usually caused by the attenuation or blockage of the signal by water droplets, snow flakes, or dust suspended in the atmosphere. High winds shaking the dish may also cause reception problems." So as you can see, Frank might be on the right track. (No pun intended. :-) ) Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Note When you embed TrueType fonts, you may be able to reduce the file size of your document by selecting the Embed characters in use only check box. This option embeds only the font styles used in your document. Also, if you used 32 or fewer characters of a font -- for example, a few symbols or a headline -- Word embeds only those characters.

Files and subdirectories are displayed file sizes, dates, and a user description. DIRlist can navigate from directory to directory propagating subdirectory descriptions in related directories. DIRlist saves the descriptions in an HTML file of each directory accessed by DIRlist. The HTML file can be displayed with a browser such as Netscape or IE." http://www.aggregatemarket.com/cmrtools/dirlist.html There is also a freeware program using the same name of "DirList". It does little more than prints directory listings for you. While poking around for you I came to this freeware program that might be of use to you: *PieceCopy" "A tiny tool which will extract a portion of a specific file. You can use it to extract data of files, to cut file headers, to retrieve binary data of a specific position, to rescue parts of damaged files/disks or whatever." http://inner-smile.com/dl_piece.com Okay...I found another freeware: * Andy's File Descriptor * Andy's File Descriptor allows you to add details and length to your file descriptions.

Re: [SaF] looking for push based ticker software

I have IE5 installed on my system and am always connected to the net during office hours. I would like to know if there is a repository site which contain links to IE's push technology. I do not want to clog the bandwidth. Hence, I am basically looking for a program (which uses IE5's in built capability) that can stream in a ticker to my desktop about general news, tech news, sports and weather info. FYI, I am using windows NT4 with IE5. I've never experienced push technology, so let me just give you a lead. The following Yahoo page contains various desktop news services, some of them designed around push technology and others are configurable web sites: http://dir.yahoo.com/News_and_Media/Personalized_News/ You might first explore the "DesktopNews" link. It is a free service. http://www.desktopnews.com/ I have a java news ticker at one of my web sites. There are several places on the web that offer those. They are tiny strips that deliver news headlines and you (or a visitor) can click onto the headline and then be linked to the full story. You do not have to install the java applet itself. Rather, you place code in your HTML document that links to the java app on the host's server. If you might be interested in this, then let us know. Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I also hold California credentials as a school principal and teacher. As you likely know there is a desperate shortage in most parts of the United States for teachers and administrators. California credentials are good just about anywhere in the US by reciprocity. The problem? Let me first debunk the myth that the United States has a teacher shortage: http://www.ncei.com/WSJ-12898.htm That is not meant to discourage, but with a basic understanding that the US is full of trained and educated teachers that for one reason or another have chosen for now, not to teach as a profession, you should understand that so called shortages are usually geographic and quite often due to the fault of the educational district itself for poor policies and/or pay. Furthermore, it is a standard in our country for districts to wait until the last minute before a school year starts to decide whether they are short of teachers or not. So be aware that even for US residents, teacher hiring is frustrating to say the least. Teacher immigration usually occurs when a school district finds themselves in desperate need for teachers, due to any number of factors. The school district themselves often coordinate the efforts with our government agencies. It is pretty rare for a district to look for a single teacher from another country. Our Immigration and Naturalization Service has a toll free telephone number to call for customer service assistance. I would suggest you call this number and ask them to guide you in your quest to become a US teacher. http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/services/NCSC.htm ~~~ Another resource you might investigate and possibly your best bet, is shown at the following site: * Teachers Helping Teachers with Teaching Exchanges * http://www.angelfire.com/ca/zael/ Very impressive work on this page. :-) Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any one have any ideas concerning the Virtual Book of Knowledge (VBOK)? Wayne, I think (he said with some hesitation), that your VBOK went through a virtual domain name change which changed the name of the newsletter.

I especially liked the moderate speed of the torpedos and the crash sound of the torpedoed ships; that other game I used to play 7 years ago. thanx in advance :) algis I found a couple of sites where you could download "Ms. Chomp", which is a "Ms. Pacman" clone. However, I think you might like this DOS game better: CHOMPSTERS quote A very fun Pacman type game that expands on the original Pacman idea by adding different characters (Pacmen?) to play, as well as having varied, large levels and ghosts with individual personalities that talk to you between levels. Your Pacman can also jump and use new special items. It's all very well done, and it's fun to play, as well. (Note: Although I was unable to get a screenshot of this game, it does look VERY good. ^_^) endquote Download the game here: http://www.dosgames.com/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?chomp.zip As far as your torpedo game goes, I think we may need to know more information, such as the name of the game. :-) Here is the Windows-3 games index at the WinSite.
