-------
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm logged into an old BBS
And I can't get back to fronttalk this way
And the modem lights are fading fast today
For here
Am I am typing on a terminal
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.

Having (hopefully) finally figured out how to get Fronttalk to keep
track of my conference reading progress (see resp:garage,45,17), I am
now face with the task of catching up with 25+ years of accumulated
items and responses. I was thinking that I needed a program to catch-up
my conference reading status by automatically going through the conf's
and marking every item and response as "read". That way I could then use
the NEXT and READ NEW commands in FT to easily scan the conf's for new
items and responses since my previous visit.
However, since yesterday in spare moments I've been using READ NEW to
skim part of the backlog in dribs and drabs selected by FT's mysterious
algorithm, and have found myself enjoying exploring Backtalk's dusty and
ancient corridors.
Of course a lot of garbage has built-up over the decades and many items
are worth no more time than a glance at the opening post, but there are
a lot of well-hidden gems in there.
Today I have been exploring conf:Language and conf:International. Feel
free to join me in exploring Grex's Backtalk catacombs!

:D You are pure class papa! After you have finished mining Grex for gold;
if you get bored - there are 25+ years of conferences to read at mono.org
(monochrome BBS) ssh mono@mono.org :)

That seems so pedestrian. What about botanicals or intangibles?

Plans for 2021?
Definitely plan to do a light sand on my little toyota and reapply
clear coat. There's always another project determined by a complaining
wife. She wants me to nail these rubber tiles to our porch (which is a
deck material). Some other misc misery soon to follow. We ordered new
doors months ago. Where are they? Construction is a wait and see thing
nowadays.

re #80
Are the rubber tiles to keep from slipping on ice?

#81 mostly for appearance.
She bought them over a year ago and they are sitting in the garage.
Cringe
I think it's a dumb idea. The porch is a deck material which is
painted. I think it looks fine.
Not in favor of over complicating things. But obviously I need to get
it done before there's trouble. ;)
