Sean Dennis did a complete reworking of the Fidonet Compatible Software
List, what agreat job! Thanks Sean! It's not only good to have some
help, but it's also good to see lists like this being updated.
Speaking of updated.. hopefully the new look on
http://www.filegate.net/ works for you. I'm not done with all the
pages by anymeans, but I'm working my way through the Contents: section
first.. from there the rest should be able to be handled easily with
the CSS file I'm using. If you notice any messed up links, etc.,
feel free to contact me :)
Also (again) updated this past week was the driver for my mcs9865
driver for my US Robotics modem.. Once I had everything going
smoothly, I started having some problems with the connexant modem still
being installed even though it wasn't being "used".. It was probably
an upgrade to some other software that caused the problem.. I renamed
the connexant driver file to hsf-old and the problems went away (g).

Subject: 2010 FTSC election, call for nominations
=================================================
Hello All,
An election for FTSC standing members starts on Sunday 31 of October
2010 at 20:00 UTC.
As per FTA-1000.002 the number of FTSC members should be no less than 7
and no more than 30. Of the present 17 members, 9 of them had their
term expire this year. That leaves room for a maximum of 30-(17-9)=22
new members to be elected.
From FTS-1001.005
3.2 FTSC Standing Members -------------------------
FTSC members are appointed for a two year renewable term. [50 % of
appointments on initial formation of the FTSC shall be for a 3 year
renewable term, to ensure continuity of the Committee on expiry of the
terms.]
To be selected as a FTSC member, an individual must be a Fidonet node,
and should be actively involved in Fidonet. Examples include having
put out a Fidonet-related product or having updated a product in the
preceding two years, or having experience as a Coordinator, Echomail
Coordinator or mail or file Hub.
Standing members may be nominated Fidonet-wide by all of the following
methods:
1. Any RC or REC. 2. A nominating committee established for the
purpose by the FTSC. 3. A nominating committee established for the
purpose by the ZCC.
A nominating committee may not consist of any current member or officer
of the FTSC.
Standing members are appointed on the basis of a vote by all RCs and
RECs who are nodelisted as holding those positions at the time the
nominations are published. A successful candidate must receive
approval by a majority of votes.
Publication of the nomination and the voting procedure, and posting of
RC and REC votes, shall take place openly in the FTSC_PUBLIC echo, and
voting shall close three weeks after publication of the vote.
In accordance with FTA-1001 3.2.2, I hereby appoint a nominating
committee that consists of the FTSC members who's term ended this year
and who have indicated to be available for another term.
These are:
Fred Riccio 1:132/174 Alexey Vissarionov 2:5020/545 Carol
Shenkenberger 1:275/100 Stas Degteff 2:5080/102 Vince Coen 2:250/1
Dieter Ringhofer 2:2476/14 mark lewis 1:3634/12
The status of RC's and REC's will be determined by nodelist.304 for Z2
and for the other zones by nodelist.302 as issued by the ZC in the zone
where they reside.
All RCs, RECs and members of the nominating committee are hereby
invited to nominate members. Nominations may be posted in the
FTSC_PUBLIC echo or in netmail/e-mail to the FTSC adminstrator.
(2:2/20) administrator at ftsc dot org) Nominations received by netmail
or e-mail will be posted in FTSC_PUBLIC.
Nominations start at Sunday, 31 October 2010. 20:00 UTC and end at
Sunday 14 November 2010, 20:00 UTC.
Nominators are advised to sound out prospective nominees before filing
a nomination. There is little or no point in nominating someone that
has not shown interest and expressed willingness to accept. Members of
the FTSC appointed nominating committee may self nominate,

About Cooking Pumpkins =====================
Our garden beds are usually overrun with this delectable food, and so
throughout the fall we find ourselves making pumpkin soup, pumpkin
bread, pumpkin pie and more. Here are a few ways to cook a pumpkin to
use in recipes that call for canned pumpkin.. you will be amazed at
the difference in the flavor between home-cooked pumpkin and
store-bought canned pumpkin.
Tip: Pick smaller pumpkins for pies and cakes. Save those gigantic ones
for Halloween displays and Jack o'Lanterns. In your supermarket
these are probably called "Pie Pumpkins".
Cook it In the Oven: Carefully slice the pumpkin in half, crosswise
with a sharp knife. Scoop out the seeds and strings with a spoon and
reserve the seeds to make salted pumpkin seeds later. Turn the pumpkin
halves upside down on a non-greased cookie sheet, and bake at 325F for
35-40 minutes, or until the pumpkin shell collapses and the pumpkin
flesh feels soft.
When done, let cool and then either peel the skin off the pumpkin half
or scoop it out of the shell with a spoon. Place the pumpkin in the
blender about 1/2 cup or so at a time to make a smooth puree.
Typically a small pie pumpkin will make about 2 cups of pumpkin,
cooked.
Cook it in the Microwave: You can cook the pumpkin the same way as
above in the microwave in
about 1/3 the time (or less depending on the power level of your
microwave). Cut the pumpkin in half, scrape out the inside strings and
seeds, and place on a large microwave safe plate or platter with a rim.
If your microwave isn't big enough for the two halves, do them one half
at a time. Cook on HI power for about 9-10 minutes and then test for
doneness.
Holiday Pumpkin Bread
=====================
This pumpkin bread is so good, you'll want to make several! When my
husband took this to work as a treat for co-workers, one of the fellows
insisted on bringing home a piece for his wife to taste. She then
contacted me and begged for this recipe.
Preheat oven to 350F
1 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
2 cups canned pumpkin, or fresh Pumkin, see About Cooking Pumpkins, above.
3 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup roughly chopped raisins
Beat the eggs and the oil until well mixed in a large bowl. Beat in the
sugar. Stir in the pumpkin.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and
baking powder, and salt. Mix well until combined.
Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin, sugar and oil mixture all at
once, and beat slightly to combine all ingredients (use a wooden spoon,
not a mixer for this).
Stir in the walnuts and raisins. Grease and flour a large 10" tube pan
with removable rim. Pour the batter into the pan and bake at 350
for 1 hour and 15-20 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

The Slightly Crusty Sysop Sean Dennis 1:18/200
It's getting nice and cold out here in the mountains this time of year.
This is when I can actually go out and get things done in the yard
since I can withstand being outside for more than ten minutes at a
time. The leaves are changing colors causing the hills around me to
come alive in a bright symphony of reds, oranges, browns and everything
in between. The holiday season is quickly coming upon us and one can
feel it when you're out and about dealing with people.
As part of a new season, I recently changed my BBS back to running
Maximus/2 and christened my BBS with a new name: Paragon BBS. My BBS's
telnet address has changed (paragon.darktech.org) but the feel of it is
still the same.
This is the time of year when people start posting more and more mail
on the BBS networks and a time of more activity in the BBS scene in
general. However, there aren't a lot of users left, so it's indeed a
pleasure when a non-sysop calls your BBS to enjoy the fruits of your
labor. We sysops like to do as much as we can to attract callers and
for our regulars, we like to go out of the way to do special things for
them to keep them calling.
Is there a point, though, where sysops have to know when to say when?
Is there such a thing as doing too much for a user? Have we tried to
be everything to everyone in a desperate attempt to get users to call
our BBS? I think I'm guilty of this just as much as any other sysop if
not more. The past two BBS software changes I've done was because of
something a particular user of mine wanted. I went through
considerable time and effort to keep things up and running. Sadly, I
recently had to change BBS software due to some problems (which weren't
my fault) and I informed everyone that certain features would not be on
my board anymore.
I informed this user and I've yet to hear back from them. I think I
angered them because I wasn't going to do things just for them; rather,
I was going to run my BBS the way /I/ wanted it. I did put up a few
doors that the user had requested, which was of no concern to me, but
now I'm wondering because of the single feature I didn't put in if I've
lost that user forever.
I know this seems trivial to some, but this user'd been a very regular
user of my BBS for a while and was even able to help diagnose problems
with the BBS which is a rarety these days. I just can't understand
people sometimes-if they can't get their way on a BBS, they basically
tell you to shove off and act like a spoiled brat. In today's BBS
scene, I guess it's easy to cherry- pick systems you want to call, but
does a user know how much time and effort goes into setting up and
maintaining a BBS?
This is a moot point, I'd gather, since it seems that user's moved on,
but it incenses me that after all I'd done for them and bent over
backwards, I get discarded like yesterday's trash. Thankfully, there
doesn't seem to be too many users like that these days but it's just
the idea of being used, if you will, that angers me.
I don't know if this is a common occurance anymore and I know I've been
made fun of in the BBS scene for my propensity to change BBS software,
but you know, it's a hobby. It's something to be enjoyed, cherished
and to brag about...not to be a chore and a worry. To be very honest
with you, as of late, I've been considering shutting down my BBS simply
because it seems that there are nothing but spoiled users these days
(oddly enough). But after all of these years, it's very difficult for
me to get BBSing out of my blood. I've made lifelong friends in the
BBS scene who have helped me out in so many ways that it would be a
crying shame if I just closed down and disappeared. As you can see, I
get perplexed sometimes about "should I stay or should I go".
So what do you feel about this? Is it right to go all out to keep a
single user or do you get things the way you want them and get snubbed
by your user- base? Should you keep going for the users or should you
keep going for your- self? There's many questions but it seems there's
few answers. I still enjoy running my BBS and being delightfully
quirky about what I like and don't like to do with my system. I
consider my BBS to be a form of self-expression.
Enough rambling for this month. I hope everyone enjoys the start of
the holiday season. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving already (who
doesn't?) and the enjoyable giving spirit that goes with it.
As always, your comments are welcomed but your flames are not. If
you'd like to comment on my column, please netmail me at 1:18/200
(preferred) or via email at sean@kd5col.info. If I like your comment,
I'll publish it in my column sometime.

- e-Ministries -

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue #: 2
In the last issue, we went over the first four days of God's
creation. The first day He created light out of nothing. This is
one of His finest creation. Without it, there is no real beauty,
just total darkness. Nothing can hide in His Light and everything
will be exposed. So keep on pressing on to total goodness! During
the second day of His creation, he created water with a seperation.
This seperation we know as clouds and a mass of water which well
come to in a little bit. Have you ever wondered how the sky is blue
and our ocean is so lovely with a good look upon it? If only all of
our water was so pure! We're still missing something. The Earth,
our mother which we step out onto every day. The third day He
created the Earth, dirt, grass, seed, trees and everything in
between. Finally, we have seperation in seasons, our wonderful
spring, summer, fall and winter! From the Light he had created, He
made the moon and stars to watch over the night.
We'll continue where we last off last time. Open your Bible up to
Genesis chapter 1, verse 20. Remember, we're reading from the King
James Version. Your text may different between versions. Lets
read...
[KJV] Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly
the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that
may fly above the earth in the open firmament of
heaven.
[KJV] Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living
creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth
abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl
after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[KJV] Gen 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let
fowl multiply in the earth.
[KJV] Gen 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
[KJV] Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living
creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing,
and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
[KJV] Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind,
and cattle after their kind, and every thing that
creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw
that it was good.
[KJV] Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after
our likeness: and let them have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and
over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over
every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
...here we have it. All the wonderful from rabbits, squirrels,
birds, butterflies to eagles, cats, dogs to cows, horses to sharks
and dolphins! God has quite an imagination, doesn't He? These
living creatures could have never been made by mistake. There's
still missing besides all Light, darkness, Heaven and Earth...
[KJV] Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of
God created he him; male and female created he them.
[KJV] Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and
subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every
living thing that moveth upon the earth.
[KJV] Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb
bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the
earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of
a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
[KJV] Gen 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl
of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon
the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every
green herb for meat: and it was so.
[KJV] Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and,
behold, it was very good. And the evening and the
morning were the sixth day.
...the creatures could have made all the Earth theres, but this is
where you and I come in. God created man and woman! What an idea
God had when He created everything before He created us. These
creatures for food and enjoyment, additional food from the fruit of
of the trees and from the ground. We were put here to be in charge
of our mother Earth. Not only were were created, but we were
created in His image. Every aspect of Him do we have! We are all
members of one body, His body. How do our arms work without our
muscles, or our feet without our legs, our heart without our brain?
Think about God's creation as we end this time.
If you've enjoyed our meeting, remember to ask your SysOp to carry
MINISTER, an echo with FidoNet if he/she doesn't already. Remember
also to keep your head up high. May God bless you and keep you!
*** This conclude this issue of e-Ministries provided by Jon
Justvig.

INFO:
Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor, with the help of
Richard Webb 1:116/901 (Old School ToolBox), and Sean Dennis 1:18/200
(The Slightly Crusty Sysop). If you have an idea for a column or a
series of articles, please contact me :)
New!
Email subsriptions via www.filegate.net, 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 sparcity of articles for the 'zine. I'd MUCH rather
you sent in material but I think until someone starts a
discussion you feel like commenting about, you evil dullards
(just kidding!!!) will no doubt complain about "no issues" (grin)
So I will fill these issues with my meanderings and thoughts and
hopefully we will grow into something of consequence here :)
Don't be offended.. write an article!
If you WOULD like to submit an article and prove me wrong about
the dullard aspect of you guys and gals , feel free to drop
your article off at:
By email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net
Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38 Modem: 607-655-5652
1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555 via binkp or telnet mailer
(don't send articles as routed attaches, send them direct to filegate.net).
Standard binkp port only supports BinkP (24554).
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.
New 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 internet bbs list, send your bbs
listing to bbslist @ filegate.net or post it in the fidogazette echo!
