Quote of the Day

Too much agreement kills a chat.

Thanks again to Daryl Stout, 1:19/33 for sending this in :)
Due to the budget constraints, the following policies are
announced regarding employees traveling on official business.
These policies are EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:
LODGING:
All employees are encouraged to stay with relatives and
friends while on business. If weather permits, public areas
such as parks should be used as temporary lodging sites. Bus
terminals, train stations and office lobbies may also provide
shelter in periods of inclement weather.
TRANSPORTATION:
Hitch-hiking is the preferred mode of travel, in lieu of
commercial transport. Luminescent safety vests will be issued
to all employees prior to their departure on such travel.
Airline tickets will only be authorized in extreme circumstances
and the lowest fares will be used. For example, if a meeting is
scheduled in Seattle, but a lower fare can be obtained by
traveling to Detroit, the travel to Detroit will be substituted
for travel to Seattle.
MEALS:
Expenditures for meals will be limited to an absolute minimum.
It should be noted that certain grocery and specialty chains,
such as Hickory Farms, General Nutrition Centers, and Costco
Club stores often provide free samples of promotional items.
Entire meals can be obtained in this manner.
Travelers should also become familiar with indigenous roots,
berries, and other protein sources available at their
destination. If restaurants must be utilized, travelers should
utilize all you can eat salad bars. This is especially
effective for employees traveling together - as one plate can be
used to feed the entire group. Employees are also encouraged to
bring their own food on official travel. Cans of tuna, Spam and
Beefaroni can be consumed at your leisure without the
unnecessary bother of heating or costly preparation.
MISCELLANEOUS:
All employees are encouraged to devise innovative techniques
in an effort to save our budget dollars. One enterprising
individual has already suggested that money could be raised
during airport layover period, which could be used to defray
expenses. In support of this idea, red caps will be issued to
all employees prior to their departure, so that they may earn
tips by helping other travelers with their luggage. Small
plastic roses and ball point pens will also be made available to
employees so that sales may be made, as time permits.

Short Film Shows What It's Like to Grow Up Being Player Two in
Video Games
by Casey Chan
If you grew up with an older brother or sister and an old school
video game console, Zachary Antell's short animation Player Two
should hit you right in the nostalgic feeling bank. Some people
call that a heart, and maybe make you want to pick up the phone
to call him or her (or let's be honest, shoot a text to them).
The four-minute short depicts the relationship between an older
brother and a younger brother perfectly ...

=================================================================
INFO:
Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor.
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!
