Greetings....

Does anyone have internet email addresses for any of the campuses for the
University of the West Indies that work? If you have uptodate addresses or
one you know that works, please reply to the addresses below.

Thanks in advance!!

Try contacting people at the University of Puerto Rico. I know they are trying
to get some kind of UWInet going...

Cheers All,

This is my first post on this bb. Some of the stuff seems kinda cool. Others
sound like a set of very lonely foreigners...

I am Carnegie Mellon University and an alma mater of UWI St. Augustine.
I would
like to get working e-mail addresses also. I received some a while back from a
public ftp site, but only the ones for Puerto Rico were working.

A reply, public or private will be fine.

T'was nice posting.

Wait. Hold on. What is dis. It have have hermits everywhere now. Hello to we.
BTW, (by the way), as de I sit here, taking a break, it comes to mind that
all dis talk about X amounk of dis an dat, like X amount of music, shot, etc..
had to start in T&T: is ony nuff engineer man who does regularily use random
variables in dis manner. So wha i tink happen is dat UWI eng mad deh large
in de musik field buput de J. Jess now you gine hear man talk bout "from time
equal t" or " from time t, so an so did gine on". Any now...the concept of
the organisation as an open system involves the concept of requisite variety..........
I gone.

UWI Mona is on line, but not yet in real time. They're putting a
supercomputer on line shortly -- it may be already up -- so material
from Jamaica may appear on usenet shortly. You might try sending e-
mail to postm...@uwi.edu.jm

UWI St Augustine is on-line, but I don't have the address.

On another note: while the Mona Library is still in the card
catalogue age, St Augustine has a computerised catalogue (and too
few terminals! can't have everything) which operates at the
approximate speed of cold molasses.

Excellent. Well said.
Dear MatterBean (et. al.) you inquired if I was a past hermit: Indeed. Class of 1991, Industrial Engineering. No it is not, and never will be, a lime course.
Anyway people out there, as usual, "contemplation of action offers secure planning, however, actual implementation of ideas is contingent upon actual exertion.......

Whoa! are there C-Hall hermits (or gogs!) on this net? Identify yourselves!
Actually things have changed since I lived on Canada Hall ('82 - '84) -
the dorm is now co-ed and there is little 'grubbing' (both of which could be
good things!). Man, I still remember MY grubbing!

Well you know what they say.. curiosity killed the cat. Prowess in sports and
social activities of course-:) To be a "hermit" embodied a philosophy of
helping your fellow hermits, which accounted for why we used to walk off with
70% of the engineering prizes even though we were much maligned as campus
wastrels and layabouts (unfounded).

Plus of course a certain mystique which came in handy on occassions, like...
but nah that would be telling. BTW Skamp don't really send out too much
positive vibes either, but I wont ask how that came about-:)

Matta Bean, a hermit name I haven't heard for yonks. It was an ironic
reference to my penchant for sleeping out the course (1.5 terms). Of course if
I was doing the lime course Indus eng I could sleep till just before the
exams-:)

Yo France,

I was on the hermitage from '83 -'86, so I should have known you. What was
your hermit name. As to reduced grubbing, I have mixed feelings about that.
Is the dorm now co-ed? In my second year there was an attempt to make top
floor north female. The whole thing about grubbing hall-life, "working", etc.
caused admin to back off. I still have some interesting cartoons drawn from
that period in a file somewhere.

Lashley could probably drop some draft on that.

The question is, how much time did you spend in Trinity Hall?

All you young fellows think is just now this hermit thing start. Well, I
graduated in '81, Civil Eng. Among my fondest memories of those days were the
raids on Milner HOle and Trinity.

One year in particular, a raid on Trinity got really nasty: A Flesh attacked
some hermits and had to be thoroughly disciplined. Brethren, Dem kidnapp the
flesh and took her to C-Hall. But that particular Dawta had a problem with
mankind generally.

At about that time too, there was raid on Milner Hole that reportedly did $'000s
in damages. This was in retaliation for the kidnapping of a C-Hall man.

Bwoy, those were the days....

I will!

This requires further elucidation! (It's a pity that St Augustine
has no equivalent of the Bastille; many a victim of Mona has made
the fall of that institution a personal goal).
