>For openers, you can learn about Bucky Fuller in the new topic in
science. midnightwolf.net is activated and has a topic in the
projects conference. The NBA playoffs are heating up in sports.
Right here in the porch, we're talking about austen.com's
phenomenal success and what to do about it's growing pains.
Don't be afraid to find an "orphan" or neglected topic somewhere
around the spring and revive it! The same goes with latent
conferences.
If you're interested in something, there's probably a topic
somewhere for you. If there isn't you can create one or ask one of
the hosts to create one.
If you want to pump up the spring, feel free to take individaul
conference or topic url's and submit them to search engines. It
will help attract new folks and build up our synergy.

I created a new topic in Geo for Earth Mysteries which don't fall into any other categories. We can talk about pyramidology, yeti, space ships in the middle of the earth, lost continents, crop circles, whatever...!
Prior to that I created a topic for Geothermal stuff - geysers and other forms

Terry, I did as you suggested and did a Google search for topics in Geo. And for Geo by itself. Nothing was found, but Spring.net showed up right away.
any idea why that might be? I discovered that there is a lot of stuff on the wet starting with or containing the word Geo in any way shape or form.

Take your geo url and submit it to the search engines.
You an also set up a portal page at http://www.spring.net/geo if you like. And someday you may even want to cook up your own domain name and build a sit around that.
http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/public/browse/geo/all
is the url to submit to the search engines with descriptive keywords etc.
You can do this on http://www.submit-it.com/

I know a guy who used to hang around Northern California named J Baldwin who hung around with Bucky Fuller for 33 some odd years (off and on). He taught me that you need to drive big trucks with your thumbs up on the steering wheel so you don't injure them if the wheel jerks back. J was full of perceptive comments on just about everything.

I am on one of the university computers while I wait for the banquet to begin. I have arranged 24 candles in holders, one each for the 24 seniors who will extinguish their academic flames. I chose cobalt blue holders and red candles this year since our colors are red, white and blue. Usually, I choose clear ones with white candles, but this year I am being different. The tables are being decorated with small orchids and wee anthuriums with greenery. Looks great. Food will be ...uh...Marriott provided...in the campus cafeteria in steam tables. Not a gourmet feast tonight, but it will be filling!
Windows NT is ok, and I had no trouble getting on the spring even though I chose the IE to access the web rather than netscape. My marble still looks good but this computer is about as lame as they come as far as color and definition goes. Yeesh! What I would do with this if it were mine!

I got a call from a rep from Webex http://www.webex.com yesterday and she told me the Spring could have a meeting center on Webex for $200 a month, and I tried it and was very impressed. I am interested in finding out if there would be any support for trying it out for a month on a trial basis?
Basically, it's a web based version of Microsoft Netmeeting, which facilitates working meetings and interaction. I am looking at this as a way, combined with Dialpad, that we can connect with each other, work together and communicate on deeper levels.
It offers interactive web browsing with text chat and application sharing. I could use it to help new users come on line and set up their conferences and prefrences, and help folks to manage the system and create their own webs. I see it as a useful tool if enough folks were interested in interacting this way.
There is a copy of the user guide at this web address, but you'll need Adobe Acrobat set up to read it as it's in pdf format.

Got Adobe so I shall go read it. Dialpad has serious drawbacks with the echo. It was severe enough that when I called you with the information that the Spring was frozen that time, I used regular land line. However, if this is text, perhaps it is worth the try. Can we afford $200?

Well, we could use NetMeeting and Microsoft Messenger to do essentially
the same thing for free. But it requres more effort on the part of
users. I've got Dialpad configured now to where the echo isn't so bad.
It seems to work differently on different setups, depending on your sound
card, your settings and what type of input device you're using (headset
mike combos seem to work the best). Why don't you, Marcia, contact Webex
and have them run you through a demo and I could take part in it with a
couple of other folks. They said they would let us do more demo
meetings.

Thanks for the suggestion Terry. I'll contact webex tomorrow. The problem seems to be only when I am using the phone and you are using the mike. Perish the thought, but it just might be Hawaiian Tel which is at fault! We used to get terrible satellite echo when calling the mainland. Most of that has been cleared up, but not all. They often suggest you hang up and try rerouting the call till it becomes clear enough to understand. I will check with Webex for their suggestions abd get back to you.

I'll do my best - ah, this is who Webex is and I already have it downloaded, of course - though last time I tried to get into my dialpad it told me they could not load the Java. Have no idea why... I just need to wake up a bit and see who I can find. It might have to be after work this evening (for you) to get Ann in on the conversation.

Btw, some of these ladies think they are tech-impaired and don't want to bother downloading something like DialPad - they won't even read or post in Geo because it is too technical. That tells me they have not ever read anything in there because it is anything but technical and dry. Oh well, all I can do is to try.

OPEN SOURCE DEMOCRACY: A Dutch-led research consortium has put in
a bid for European funding to develop non-proprietary, open-
source software for large-scale democratic debate, potentially
supporting discussion by more than a million participants at a
time.
The ISSUE consortium, led by the Dutch new media company Spirit,
has entered the proposal under the European Commission's 5th
Framework for research and technological development, which
includes a specific programme for a user-friendly information
society.
The proposal includes plans for industry-led technical research
and development combined with research by social psychologists
and political scientists; test beds in Rotterdam, Belfast
(supporting the peace process), Nuremberg and Vienna, with a
working prototype planed by year two of the project; and all
research to be 'open source' and Linux-based (although some
business prospects are also expected).
A spokesman told E-Government Bulletin: "We feel that there is
mileage to be had from getting people sharing ideas, experiences
and software to counter the inevitable attempts by proprietary
software developers to control this market. ISSUE will have an
impact on professional lobbyists, on pressure groups (one is
never certain if they have the public backing they claim to
have), and on the discussion about referenda." See:

Of course I would co-host with Neil on the Flight/Aviation conference and teach him all I know )Eeeek!) about programming and so on. I have just pasted him your comment and lets see his reaction. He does have some problems in that he is using an iMac, but he can get most of what I can and managed to create his topic under my guidance perefectly!

I asked him last evening about it. He thinks he needs to work on his skills on Geo's Flight topic for a little bit more - though he got his ftp program downloaded and ready. I'll work on him some more. He has all the topics worked out already - but I remember how intimidating it feels to be thrust into a conference newborn and innocent. I never learned so fast as I learned that July 10th when Geo was born!

What is IT? Oh, only an invention bigger than the Internet. Interested, check it out in the science conference. But don't get too excited, yet. It's still a guessing game.
But it's hot enought that Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos (amazon.com) are going nuts over it.

Hi all
In Geo things are good. I have got a subject about books to do with Geo subjects, and a topic dedicated to myself kindly set up by Marcia. Robs GeoWorld is quite active and I will start posting geographical data about the natural hazards of New Zealand. There will be special case studies of a fault, volcano and a cyclone of my choice before the end of March and a natural hazards scenario of my choice.
