This is the other test conference for backtalk.

OK, one Backtalk problem:  When it creates a pariticpation file for you,
it sets your name as above, not stripping off the Address stuff from the
password file field.  That is easy enough to fix.

But Picospan seems to be happy enough about all this.

I've used the Pistachio interface to link item 1 from backtalk2 in to
backtalk as item 4.

Picospan does not seem to object.

So far so good. It will be harder to test mutual locking 
compatibility. We'll have to round up a posse.

I am forgetting this item in the Backtalk conf because it is linked to 
Backtalk2. I am forgetting using Backtalk. I will come back later and 
check with picospan to see if it followed what was going on.

Good, plan, I hadn't tried that.

It worked just fine. Picospan understood perfectly.

One thing seems clear:  Backtalk is slow on Grex.

Really?  I was wondering at its speed.  Perhaps we pay more attention to 
different things.  For example, it drives me bonkers to wait forever 
after hitting the spacebar to prompt my pager, since I never know if 
Grex has gone away or not . . . I don't too much mind having to wait 
between items though, so I probably didn't notice if Backtalk was taking 
forever to retrieve this item or not . . . 

Then again.  There are only 35 people logged on (What happened to all 
our users?), and the load average is only 2.5 . . . 

Yeah.

So what is the purpose of having two test conferences?
Shouldn't they be merged? Or better yet, use the enigma
conference, it doesn't get much action these days.



Oops, almost forgot:  :)

Heh.

What's this about pistachioes?

That Gibbard guy is obviously nuts.

We've isolated Backtalk to these two conferences as sort of a quaranteen
thing, like the astronauts who came back from the first moon landing.  You
never know what kind of bugs it might be infested with, and we wouldn't
want it to infect other conferences.

I think it should be spread to all confs ASAP.  I hardly ever read items 
in picospan because it takes way to much time now-a-days with all the 
more people telneting in.  This makes it MUCH more easier to read 
postings.  Because of this, I will be in BBS a lot more, maybe even more 
than party (heh, probably not, but I'll be in here a lot)

Ooooh..... Aaahhhh.... Ooooh...Aaahhh.....

Very neat stuff.  I don't see what all this complaining 
about speed is about--I am finding this vastly faster.  

Glad to hear it.  You must have a better net connection than I do.

Does backtalk support twit filters?

It would be pretty easy to build one into the scripts, but we haven't
done so yet.

this server is going very very slow......

how long have you guys(and girls) been using this server?

Mostly the server is pretty good, but we get hackers from time to time
who run fork bombs, ftp huge files, and so forth.  This kind of thing
slows down the server pretty badly.  We've been on the current machine a
few years.  Don't recall the date.
