• Taking over the Gazette

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Thu Jan 6 14:28:03 2022
    Hello All,

    Effective immediately, I asm taking over as editor of the FidoGazette and the moderator of the FIDOGAZETTE echo.

    I have the news software set up here and will be hopefully getting out an issue by the end of the month.

    I am hoping to have things going to produce an issue every two weeks or thereabout.

    Good deal. I had thought that it was gone after Janis' departure.
    I'll adjust the batchfiles accordingly, but it's hard to sit in the computer chair for long periods of time, due to degenerative disk
    disease in my back and spine...so that'll have to wait until another
    day.

    Right now, I am having to reconfigure my system to work with Vince and the filebone; that's no small task. But it will happen.

    I am also working on reconfiguring the FG. I have the original archive of
    the TBBS newsletter software that the Fidonews uses. I'm reconfiguring it
    all for the FidoGazette and hopefully will be putting out a call for content soon enough. :)

    Take your time. With all the medical and other stuff this last year,
    I haven't had time to place the files from all those CD's I got from
    you on the BBS.

    I understand. Over the past 24 hours, I was able to get MBSE working
    correctly under FreeBSD with the help of my fellow MBSE developers so I am
    now setting up not one but two MBSE systems; one will be the eventual replacement of my OS/2-based system and the other will be a private "test
    bed" where we can try out alpha code on a non-production system.

    Once you get it ready, I'll put it back online.

    Would you happen to have the last volume and issue number that Janis
    published? I'd like to continue using her numbering system. If not, I can start over again at 1:1.

    Sean,

    Would you happen to have the last volume and issue number that Janis published? I'd like to continue using her numbering system. If not, I can start over again at 1:1.

    I'll have to search in a backup, and let you know.
