I'm living on. ~David Bowie FIDOGAZETTE Vol 10 No 2 Page 2 January 13, 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================ E D I T O R I A L ================================================================ Moving itself may not be fun, but there is always the excitement of new surroundings, new people and of course your new home itself. Where to wire equipment, perhaps the new place has a better setting for your system, etc ... Often good things to look forward to. Here's hoping Vince Coen has a great move this month as he moves to a new home in the UK. Best Wishes, Vince, and I hope your move is smooth :) A sad story of which the world took note and sighed. David Bowie's passing this past weekend leaves a rift that won't be soon filled. RIP Mr. Bowie. FIDOGAZETTE Vol 10 No 2 Page 3 January 13, 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= H U M O R ================================================================= Sent in by Daryl Stout, 1:19/33 Thanks Daryl :) A church had been steadily losing members on Sunday mornings...and each of them had a different excuse as to why they missed. So, they decided to have a "No Excuses Sunday"...& to acquaint the members with the program, the church printed the following in their order of worship. "No Excuse Sunday" In order to make it posible for everyone to attend church next Sunday, we have planned a special "No Excuse Sunday". 1. Cots will be placed in the vestibule for those who say "Sunday is my only day to sleep in". 2. Eye drops will be available for those whose eyes are tired from watching TV too late on Saturday night. 3. We will have steel helmets who believe the roof will cave in if they show up for church. 4. Blankets will be furnished for those who complain that the church is too cold. Fans will be on hand for those who say the church is too hot. 5. We will have hearing aids for the parishioners who say, "The pastor doesn't talk loud enough". There will be cotton for those who say "The pastor talks too loud". 6. Score cards will be available for those who wish to count the hypocrites. 7. We guarantee that some relatives will be present for those who like to go visiting on Sunday. 8. There will be TV dinners available for those who claim they can't go to church, and cook dinner too. 9. One section of the church will have some trees in it for those who see God in nature...especially on the golf course. With this in mind, a golf course and lake will be provided for those who'd rather play golf and fish on Sunday. 10. The sanctuary will be decorated with both Christmas poinsettias and Easter lilies, to create a familiar environment for those who have never seen the church without them. FIDOGAZETTE Vol 10 No 2 Page 4 January 13, 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= A R T I C L E S ================================================================= System Down Time Submitted By Vince Coen, 2:250/1 Hello All! We are finally moving home from the sunny climes of Roydon where I have lived for 35 years to Hatfield (in the UK). All this will occur hopefully, on the 21st January. That's the good news and now for the bad -> I will not have telephone and internet services (Fibre) until the 25th so my system will not be polling and will not be accessable. I am not looking forward to this as on the 25th I will be downloading a lot of emails based on my getting 100 - 150 per day let alone all of the fido and sportsnet echos and files. Fear not, nothing will be lost as it will just wait for my first polls. The good news is that my upload speed will go from 1.2Mb to 20Mb assuming I can configure the new modem/router - This will be a stop gap so I can work out what is what before getting a better quality one say from Netgear and configure it for port forwarding etc. My download speed will go from 17-20 Mb to 76Mb. These speeds will take up to 10 days to stabilize but the speeds should be a lot closer the the new than the old. In the meanwhile I will be setting up my newly bought second hand Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 quad core Xeon system. I still have to try and find memory for it as the box only has 6 Gb Ram and I would like to increase by around 16Gb but so far I have not found any via Kinston or Crucial, may be the box is too old so if any one knows where I can get some without it costing Apple rates please get in touch. Once it is up I will try and set it up as a back up for my primary system running AMD FX8350 8-core and 16Gb ram which runs the BBS, Web, file servers along with Mysql and Oracle. Will need to find out how to install the C compilation and development systems in order to recompile all of the source code - again if any one knows how, I would be most gratefull as I know swat about OSX and the latest version that is installed El Capitan (or similar). Vince Ed. Note: Vince sent me a brief update this evening. "Looks like my service will now be live on 27th! Hopefully the speeds will settle down after 10 days? to the 76Mb/20Mb (can live in hope !)."

If you have an idea for a column or a series of articles, please contact me :) New! Mailing-List subscriptions via http://www.filegate.net/sub.html but of course you can always link into your uplink and use Tick or a tick compatible program. Where to Send Your Articles Unlike most editors, I surely do not mind running my mouth when there is a sparsity of articles for the 'zine. I'd MUCH rather you sent in material... lacking that, I will fill these issues with my meanderings and thoughts and hopefully we will grow into something of consequence here :) Write an article! If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop your article off at: Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38 Modem: 607-200-4076 Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555 telnet mailer: filegate.net If you are using routed Fidonet mail, don't send articles as routed attaches. They will fail somewhere along the path before getting here. Send them instead direct to filegate.net. Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have one and send it along! Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me and mutilate it further as you can see above. Linux is nice that way (g). Spell checking your own work will help though (something I'm typically guilty of (g)). To send reviews or recipes to the Food section, email or netmail Janis as above. Email address for submissions to Dr.Debug: To send a question to Dr. Debug, email a question to: drdebug @ filegate.net or post in the fidogazette echo! :) To send a listing to the FidoGazette bbslist, email your listing to: bbslist @ filegate.net or post it in the fidogazette echo!
