Some days yes, some days no. I think a lot of it is on my end with a slow ISP, but sometimes the Spring just loads slowly--I notice it when I am FTPing to, not just when I'm on the boards.

Last night (Thursday) I was unable to log on.
The dialog box said "timed out".
Maybe my ISP..but all the other websites were ok.
It's erratic. (Didn't say erotic....maybe that too!!)

I always want to go to drool too, but I don't know much about actors, male or female, and I'm too lazy to start reading up on them. What a damned shame.

(Charlotte) just curious...why is this in the Drool conference? :)
This is one of those topics that is linked from it's original Conference (Porch) to Drool and responses appear in both places.
Since we droolers often stay within the walls of this Conference, I think this is Terry's way of introducing us to the people who participate at other parts of Spring. Sounds like a good idea to me.
(Terry) And you are such a large, supportive group!
However single-minded we are ;-p
(Riette) I always want to go to drool too, but I don't know much about actors, male or female
Really? There is no actor you have a crush on? Come, come...fess up, who is it? ;-D We also do general celebrities (sports figures, musicians, men in the news, Historical Hunks). If you think of someone who does it for you, I'll be happy to start a topic and hunt down some photos to facilitate your drooling :-)
Oh, incidentally Terry...my connection is just fine. Except for the times when Spring hiccups, I fly through the boards. I've even grown fond of the Yapp software (something I once thought I'd never get used to). Hope you never change it ;-)

Charlotte, Nan would you two like to come and join us in Art? I think (I hope) it isn't boring there, even for people who aren't 'into' art. There's even some art by Wer and Autumns daughters. Plus I promised Terry something very special in return for a sketch from him!

I'm down at the colocation site for the Spring and I just brought www
back up. What an ordeal! I had a spare power supply to swap in but it
didn't match the old one on this box. At least the connectors are
different, and no soldering iron! Well, it's back together with bubble
gum and bailing wire. It's not that bad, it's just the fan inside the
power supply that I had to replace. And it's spinning now. And this
server is running cooler.
Check the time on this box and high tail it outa here.

Terry,
According to the conference log, Topic 98 was "retired" by Myretta on 10/8. As a result, it does not show up on the main listing or for those of us who use "new" even if there are new comments. Can you undo this or will we need to start a new topic for Film Discussions, one of our most active?
Also, has a subdirectory been set up for uploading pictures that we wish to link to the drool conference? A ~karen??? or ~heide???

The floods have wreaked havoc with our net connection out of San Antonio,
but it only seems to be affecting the Spring's subnet isdn connection so
far. But there is major work going on at the colocation site to get the
routing back to what it was before all the heavy weather. We're on a UPS
but there may be outages due to the regions abnormal weather. Stay tuned.

Usually, .forward files are setup like this:
\wer,wer@hotmail.com,wer@aol.com
where the \wer keeps a copy on the spring machine. If you set it up like
this:
wer@hotmail.com,wer@aol.com
then no copy will be kept on the forwarding server and it will appear only
on the hotmail and aol mail areas.

Boring. Lot's of waiting for others today.
Mostly waiting on tenants to come up with rent money.
Yesterday was far more productive, we got three rooms sheetrocked and only
have two to go in my little country cottage.
The Spring is facing a financial crisis of sorts. We're going to crank up
the pledge drive here and in drool. The cause? thespring.com domain sale
for $6k fell though because the buyer found a technicality in the contract
they had me sign. I find myself financially challenged right now.
Three room mates found new places in Cedar Creek, so I have 3 rooms to
fill and not much time to find new folks. I only got a weeks notice
instead of the usual 30 days.
I watching the X Files now. Still waiting for Paul N to pay his bills, he
and Sam have been keeping me waiting all day.

The good news today is that I filled up Quail Creek with some great folks.
And even though I'm three rooms in the hole in Cedar Creek, I have the new
airport going in next month which is just 15 minutes away from this house.
I rented the last room in Quail last night to a waiter at a new restaurant
on 360 called Pacifica. It's very upscale. He's going to get us in for
free this weekend as part of their beta test.
So short term, the Spring is hurtin' moneywise. Long term, there's hope.
I'm hoping the pledge drive will take some of the sting out of our short
term woes.

Some people can get in and many cannot. I've been in contact with our Drool bunch via our backup mailing service and encouraged them to try their ISP's other phone lines for alternative routing as worked for me (except for the austen.com areas).
Do you need any other evidence than Marcia hasn't posted all day! ;-)

Everyone reading this, digihost screwed up our nameservers by submitting
a premature change request to Network Solutions.
Use ip addresses instead of domain names till it's fixed.
http://206.97.234.70 will give you the names.
http://206.97.234.91 is austen
http://206.97.234.101 is firth
Email me at springnet@visto.com during the nameserver crisis. I emailed
digihost to fix it so we can resolve our names again but restoring our
primary nameserver to ns1.spring.net at 206.97.234.70 and using one of
their ip addresses for ns2.spring.net
Some guy named mike@digihost.com iniated this boondoggle and I emailed
him to fix it back.

Emergency contact information during the nameserver crisis:
My cellphone is 512-699-4000
My palm mail (which I carry around with me) is springnet@palm.net
Austin 512 302 4000
Cedar Creek 512 303 4000
But the first two are the most reliable.
I'm hoping mike@digihost.com realizes the havoc he's causing us by having
sent in that nameserver change without talking to me first! It's really
messing things up.
Email as many folks as you can and let them know what's going on about
using the http://206.97.234.70 and the other ip addresses for austen and
firth, etc.
Who needs a y2k crisis, right? We have our own little nameserver crisis.

hi!
i'm one of the volunteer system admins for the Spring, and have been
away for awhile on other projects. i've caught up with the situation
here and just wanted to let everyone here know that we are trying to
resolve all of the connection problems as quickly as possible.
unfortunately, our problems are with domain name servers. this is
unfortunate, because dealing with the powers behind domain name
servers means dealing with many persons and many layers of bueracracy.
i think that perhaps most of our problems should be solved by the middle
of January. worst case scenario would be the end of January, but i doubt
that very much.
anyway, i hope all of you will understand and hang in there with us
until this problem gets resolved. i'll try to do what i can to help
terry and hopefully we'll be back online soon.

I don't know about that topic issue. But on the domain issues, we are
dealing mainly with a new provider and they have assigned one person to
help us who is mike@digihost.com and he reports to ceo@digihost.com. We
just have to get in synch with these folks and work out the details and
we'll be able to get up and running at the new home. I had planned on
colocating at Springfield for a year but they backed out till March on
this deal, so we'e moving to Digihost. They run on BSDI 4.1 which is much
more up to date than the BSDI 2.1 which www.spring.net runs on now.
I really appreciate your help and support in getting in touch with this
situation Ray! Please feel free to jump in to the process and raise
issues and add action items to our migration checklist.

Hey, yep. Me and my cyber-guys, hey, cool it guys, I'm talking, are gonna
spill da beans.
You need to ftp or telnet to 206.97.234.73 which is access.spring.net,
then do this command via telnet or ftp:
cd /www/austen.com
Likewise,
cd /www/firth.com
All the files are there. You can ftp them to your local machine using
something from http://www.stroud.com like ws ftp or one of the other ftp
programs.
Then, email or call (512-699-4000) me and request a username and password
on the new system. Let me know who is going to strawboss this move, Ann,
Karen or ??? and then I will get with them and they will dictate the date
and time of the actual switchover to the new site for firth and austen.
Now, the www.spring.net/~anneh files should still be in place, at
206.97.234.70/~anneh. They're in /usr/home/anneh if you need to use the
full directory path. The web files all being in public_html of course.
Don't hesitate to email me, call me (512-699-4000 I love to talk to you
guys), or invite me to your chat room to discuss any issues.

then do this command via telnet or ftp:
}
Nope. That doesn't work, Terry. I get a "Cannot find server" message when I try to FTP or Telnet.
Now I can FTP into 206.97.234.93, and move over into the Austen.com folders, but I really need to be able to get there through my browser too!!!

Don't know why I got in. I have also been able to access my files in the www.spring.net/~anneh folder.
I FTP to 206.97.234.70, log on using ID: anneh and my usual password. I'm in the process of downloading all my files from there to back them up.

Praise be, as they say. And you have a bunch to download! I trust Geo will go over as one of those tarballs Ray is making and my files on access.spring.net will as well. I keep files backed up but only as word files. My image files are url files and I can recreate them if necessary. Goodness, the things we learn which we never anticipated needing to know...!

I've downloaded just about everything except the messages on our message boards. Don't know how I'm gonna transfer them.
Also, the archives of the Guild is rather huge, and at 28KB/Sec, it would take a long time to transfer. If that can be tarballed too, and sent over a quick connection, it would help.

Ann, I read what they were saying Unix conference about moving this stuff. They might have as well been discussing brain surgery in another language. But, they knew what they meant which I find impressive and daunting at the same time!
There is a great deal more to this than a simple Move...picking up a computer, put it in the car and move it across town to another place and plug it in. Not that easy, I guess!!!

setup and password, etc on the new server.
Everyone, email or call me with any such similar needs, if you need to get
set up on the new system.
Ray, how's the tar stuff coming along? We also need to get the new
hosting folks to set up a cfadm user and maybe do some of the things
Kaylene suggested.

I'm working on it today and tomorrow.
Folks who set up web pages should use *relative* references not *absolute*
references and base href tags in the header of the html document. I just
did a bit of editing on http://www.spring.net/firth because it uses
absolute references (not recommended!).
If you don't understand absolute vs. relative refererences, please go to
one of the many great html tutorials on the web and to our web conference
to the appropriate topic. I'll be happy to discuss this most important
issue further.
For an example look at the base href tag at the beginning of the
index.html file on http://www.spring.net/firth/index.html
It's the difference between working and not working, and you can get a lot
of stuff on the old site to keep working by using these relative tags.
And then when you don't need the old site, you just change the base href
tag.
I have given permission to Myretta to grant access to any authoring type
folks who need ftp access to the site. I'll try and make this as
effortless as possible, but there may be painful moments in the next week
or two. After that, it should be smooth sailing again.

It just finished and it found 271 occurences of the phrase
http://www.firth.com in 74 pages.
Mind you, these changes were only made on the little backup mirror site at
http://www.spring.net and not on the main site http://206.97.234.101 where
firth.com lives. I did change one file there in the afirthionado
directory called afi.htm I believe so folks could still get to the
chatroom.
I'll be glad when we get everything moved.
I'm about to set the austen.com in motion, so folks that need access be
