Episode guides and other info about TV available.
| 
Mar 31 04:46 UTC 1994 |
I've been using ftp and usenet to collect information on TV shows. You
can see what I've put on grex so far by looking for me in lynx under
personal files. Or look in the directory /u/kaplan/TV
So, is this kind of stuff interesting to you? If it is, let me know so
when I go to the staff to ask for a public "official" directory for TV
stuff I can be armed with an answer to the question, "who cares."
Also, if there's a TV series you're interested in and you want me to look
for an episode list, post that here too.

I've added current information from "The Simpsons" and "X-files"
to the stuff on line. I'm also doing a README file.

Point of Inquiry: What information, exactly, will the README file contain?

Just a guess, but I have a funny feeling it'll contain something like
the following:
"If you are reading this and you think TV info is a good use of my time and
grex disk space, send mail to me (type "!mail kaplan" any time in lynx
without the quotes). Also send me mail if there's other TV info you want
me to try to add to this collection."

For now, I've been keeping most of my TV info off of my grex account
because of the lack of disk space. I'll bring /u/kaplan/TV back up
to speed when that disk space conservation message leaves the MOTD

I added and restored a bunch of stuff to /u/kaplan/TV, and Rob Henderson
made a nifty HTML file to make the files easy to access. Look at "What's
new on grex" from lynx and post your comments here.

Would you please gzip those files to save some disk space?

When I tried to gzip the files last night, I could not because there was
no disk space.
Some of the bigger files had been compressed for a while. A little while
ago, my TV files took up 221 blocks. Now that I've gzipped them all (and
made it harder to read them, especially via lynx) they are down to 128
blocks. If you think that my meager disk usage is causing the problem, I
disagree. I'm providing these files as a public service. If a root type
person wants me to move them off /home and gives me a directory elsewhere
for them, fine. But a lot of people have hundreds of blocks worth of old
junk mail that they will never look at again. I bet the 93 blocks I've
just freed up will be gone in the next few hours.
I apologize for the above paragraph. Lets take the flames and disk
management discussion elsewhere.
Robh, please post here when you've updated the HTML page. Everyone else,
I apologize for the trouble you'll have if you try to read my TV file
right now.

I'll update the Lynx page immediately.
Remember too, folks, we'll have a new disk on-line sometime
next week. (That's the current estimate, Goddess only knows
when it will happen, maybe tomorrow, maybe August.)

re 10&11: i meant no personal attack, as i know you are not a major culprit.
thanks for freeing what you did...

Yes, really, thanks. It's not that 128 blocks or even 221 blocks aren't
meager, it's just that I keep deleting my conference files so I can read
my conferences... Every little bit helps, even 1 or 2 K. I'm sorry that
it will all be gone in the next few hours (and I believe you are correct
in that assumption), but I don't think that's a reason to *not* try to
reduce personal usage as much as possible (gzipping isn't difficult *if*
there's enough space to do so, and reading .gz files is easy with "zmore").
Thanks again.
And remember...*until and not before* we have that new disk open to
the public, *please* try to reduce your disk usage whenever and
wherever possible!

ummm- I'm relatively new at this, but I ahve repeated problems with disk
space (as do we all). I don't think I'm using much disk space, but there
could be things I'm not aware of- why doesn't someone post in Agora
some ideas of specific things we could all do to reduce the load?
I know it would help me.. I would do whatever I could (If I had any
ideas of what would help)

There have been numerous requests and suggestions for reducing disk
space. Check the info conference for sure.

(Nuking Agora wouldn't help much with the disk space crunch, since
the crunch is on a different partition from where the conferences
are kept.)
