Hi all
erimess
been a lot of crap going on in my life over the past few months. The
time when I was ignoring friends is probably just when I needed to be
communicating with them.
Sad to see there's been no new threads started since August. There's
usually at least something silly that Poly's posting if nothing else.
But there's very few posts.
Almost posted about Firefox a few weeks ago after finally upgrading to
3.0.??? (NOT 3.5), but never got around to it. I see someone else is
having issues with it.

I am sorry, but I do not have energy to spend on here at the moment.

just read the updates in my e-mail. It doesn't help that I can't

I went on holiday to Europe in June and just didn't get back into the habit
of reading the newsgroup I suppose.
I actually think it's my tenth anniversary as a Dragon this year, though I'm
not sure how to check this.

Yes it was a little sad to see so little. Of course, it doesn't help
when I disappear and contribute to it. Any one of us isn't making
much difference, but if too many "ones of us" disappear all at
once,then no one is here.

Well, some day I'll download the UVII walkthru, if I ever manage to
get that far... so at least some day someone will still read it, yes.
:-)
What's with the webcentral.com.au page? I have that bookmarked but
it's wanting a password. Did something used to be there? (I have no
idea why it's bookmarked. I just alphabetized my bookmarks for the
first time in many moons and suddenly I find two with your name.)

I believe it's my 8th, as of July 13, so I missed my anniversary. (I
thought about it but wasn't posting.)
Funny that I *still* feel like the newbie.

I'll try to respond to something. :-) Of course, I post and say I've
been missing and then disappear for another week. I suspect the near
future will be the same. (I've got some financial crap I need to be
concentrating on.)

I got ticked when I couldn't find... oh, something, the cookies maybe.
Whatever it was, it was in some weird place that I didn't think to
look. I don't like when they go changing stuff. So I backed up to
the 3.0 to see what it was like.
I don't like how the back/forward buttons got round and tiny, like
they're trying to be IE or something. I also don't understand why the
list of the last x pages you've been to (the little down arrow) is to
the right of the forward button. If I want to go BACK, why should I
move my mouse over there? (At least I read somewhere that
right-clicking on the back button works, and I easily picked up the
habit of doing that, so that's working.)
So now I'm playing with the themes so see what I like. I want my big
back button back. I did find something that looked very much like my
old Firefox (1.5). Are those themes slowing stuff down? My
connection has been a bit fuzzy recently anyway so it's a bit hard to
tell.

For some reason I feel like I have always been here, but I also did
bit of posting for maybe a year or so before going from a guy who was
posting to an actual Dragon. I wonder if the dwindling numbers of us
is also, in part, a lack of people using and/or having access to
Usenet? It took me a while to discover Google Groups would do what I
want, but I vastly preferred browsing in Outlook or other simliar
software years ago. Once upon a time newsgroups were far more commonly
available with a garden variety ISP.
A tickle in the back of my mind asks me if we wouldn't see a hint of
an increase in activity if there were a forum out there being that

For some reason, I never got your post so I'm just responding to what I
can see from erimess' reply.

I'm not sure what happened to Optician or Pibbur. I seem to recall the
later saying something about having a problem with a new computer soon
after his little train trip to see his daughter but that might be my bad
memory.

I mostly use my bookmarks as temporary storage of URLs. When I accumulate
a lot of them, I edit my local homepage and add the URLs that I want to
keep to it. I guess I don't like too huge a bookmark list in the browser.

Depends on what she's posting. If she want's to post some erotic Dragon
pics we *could* create an alt.binary group for that...

Google Groups continues to decline. It's now mostly useless as a Usenet
archive. So that plus the 10 years since U9 = slow death of this
newsgroup. We're barely getting applicants to the UDIC anymore too.
Anyhow, if you liked using a dedicated Usenet reader (not that Outlook
really counts) then you could still get one of the free clients and get an
account on one of the free newsservers like the ones I use.

Well, I still hate webforums, so something like that wouldn't see my
usage.

downside is a total lack of binary support. Not a problem for me as I
pretty much stick to text only internet usage. I even still use lynx :)

server their on falls over, you lose the whole thing. I think that if
use net is to survive, what's needed is a newsreader that runs in a
web page and makes it look like a forum. Ironically it's been done the
other way around -- there's a forum I visit that is scraped and
delivered as a news group. Also the blind can read newsgroups with
standard email readers. Screen readers are not good with forums.

Nope, I've been off of everything for a while though. My ex took the

I prefer them personally. But in either case I would imagine if Usenet
keeps declining one might use any service if it meant the continuation
of discussions like these.
Outlook may not count but I still prefer it to Groups via a browser
interface. I think I was using a standalone client for a while but I
have no idea what it was. I'll take a look at those free newsservers.
I have tried to find them in the past but they seemed not to work
whenever I tracked down what looked like a half decent one. I may just
stick with Google. I mean, it's not like there's much happening that
warrants me fiddling around with something I may never use much of.

Google doesnt carry Punts post. This is weird - Punt, have you hacked
the deja news archives? ;)
claus...@googlemail.com
I actually paid for a news server for a year or two. But then again, I
have realized
that google groups is good enough for what I need and what I use it.
Daily life got immensely more stressful for me than it was a couple of
years ago.
It is a bit of a shame, but seems to be life.
claus...@googlemail.com
Yes indeed. I personally have no problems with forums, but we would
need one which back-feeds a newsgroup. Hmmm, I am wondering whether
such a forum extension already exists of whether one would have to
roll one.
Then again, that would mean finding nntp specs. hmmm ...
darien...@gmail.com
Considering the number of people here it probably wouldn't be worth
the time to set anything different up anyways. What we have serves
it's purpose and it isn't like we're about to see an influx of
returning people or new members regardless of where we're posting
things. Though I do have to argue one of the above points just for the
sake of asking, and that is "When the server their on falls over, you
lose the whole thing." I have frequented several forums in the past
and I can't say I remember any of them going down. It isn't
tremendously common that a web server just drops in my experience. But
the rest of the points are very valid (although I'm curious how many
blind Ultima fans there are?).
I personally am happy to use a newsreader if I can stop using Groups.
Their interface bothers me and that was most of my concern. I prefer a
forum layout but that's because it reminds me of the old Outlook
layout I used to use when my ISP had a news server. Now that I've been
pointed in the right direction I'll be checking out some free servers
when I'm not so sick the world is spinning, and on that note it's time
for me to go back to sleep. I hate cold season.

You would hate my bookmarks then. :-) I have a gazillion of them and
don't clean them up very often. Since I want the same ones in IE
(even though I hardly use it), I was always going through the
unalphabetized ones at the end of the list, opening them in IE and
bookmarking them there. Time consuming. I finally got brilliant,
deleted everything out of IE, and imported them in. That's actually
never occured to me before.

I cannot stand google groups. I'd probably quit altogether if I had
to use it. There used to be some free ones I liked. I remember using
Deja News, but don't recall if I liked that one. At one time I
couldn't find any free ones I liked, which is when I started using
Newsguy. And I'm still paying for it cause it works for me and I
don't feel like messing with it. Plus I get some web space with it,
which may come in handy. (I'm grandfathered into my old web space
with AT&T but I don't trust it won't disappear.) And if I'm not at
home where my newsreader is, their web-based one isn't too terrible.
There's huge differences in how the web-based stuff sets them up.
Your average forum I don't mind, as long as the threads don't get
long. Most of them don't do a tree version and those get nasty if the
threads get long. So I don't think I could stand that concept for a
newsgroup.

It happens. My last year's been pretty bad. In fact, I can't believe
it's fall again. I almost quite literally have lost the last year.

I never go to the doctor so maybe I've built a wonderful immune
system. (Well, I go to the doctor cause I'm on prescription meds and
it's state law, but he just asks if there's any problems and writes a
prescription -- and last time he spent 15 minutes talking about health

I haven't gone to the doctor for being sick since my early teen years
and then because my parents made me. I also go generally for my
prescriptions since I'm on what I believe they call maintenence meds.
Ongoing prescriptions that I'll always need, in other words.
But I also have two kids, so cold season is the time of year they
spend most of each weekday inside a classroom sharing whatever they
have with twenty other kids and then bring it home to me. I'm also
playing mister mom so I'm home all the time which should help, except
my wife now works at the shelter I used to work at so she is exposed
to the 150+ people a day I used to see and half of them have something
at one time or another so I'm getting hit from three sides now. Cold
season for me is basically September to April. :P
