An item for discussing the management of the music conference.17 responses total.
Here we are in the new music3 files. Thanks to conference admin Walter/i for setting us up. I hope some of you will start some new non-folk music items, because otherwise this is going to look like The Folk Music Conference. I have two more folk items just waiting to get written, argh; I'm holding up so a few other types of items can get started.
Unfortunately, this is more or less what has happened, Ken. I'm hesistant to post much because I think I've just going to rehash a lot of the same old things I covered in the last music cf. Music perspectives seem to be filtered through many minds here that do computers professionally, not music. It's easier to pursue folk and classical music performance as a hobby-- apparently, you don't see much enthusiasm for much of anything else. It's not like we have participants who are on the commercial scene in Nashville or Los Angeles. I will redouble my efforts in hopes people will get involved again.
Hey new to this board, prolly most of you wont like my choice of music, rock with a strong likeing of tool, NIN, system of a down, and pther hard bands catch yall later
If you are wondering why items are popping up as "new" with no new responses: most likely it's because valerie has deleted her responses to them.
Yay.
Mynxcat and anderyn have also been deleting things; mynxcat has erased everything, I believe.
How do people delete their entries? Also, how does one find responses by the responder's name? Find doesn't do that.
I only scribbled responses in two older cfs. I decided it wasn 't worth it and stopped. The only two items that should have been affected by my actions were two of the Napster notes.
(I've not found the answer to your question in #7, Rane.)
I would think the whole item could be exported to a file, and then grepped on the name. But this seems like a lot of work for identifying your entries to scribble them. Or would someome with root just edit the bbs files?
People are deleting their entries using a script which valerie developed for this purpose. I'm not going to facilitate its use by telling where the documentation is. I don't have a good way to find by author on Grex. Under M-net's YAPP, the syntax is find a=krj to find my responses in a conference. I suppose valerie's script could be examined to see how it finds the responses to scribble.
Does it require root to use Valerie's script? Or does it function in picospan itself, as one would do it by hand?
It runs as a normal, unprivileged user using picospan to do the item/response scribbling.
It looks like item #176 was lost to grex's recent hard drive crash, and the broken junk left holding onto that number was giving BackTalk and PicoSpan problems. I think i managed to fix the problems, but i'd guess that the old 176 is gone for good. );
Judging from the dates of the items around it, item 176 would have been entered in March 2004. I don't remember a thing about it.
I thought about doing the honors myself but I don't want to mess with
anyone's holiday traditions, so I'll simply note that now that Winter
Agora has begun it might be an auspicious time for Ken to enter his
annual "Best of {$year}" item..
Thanks, Mike. My list still requires a bit of thinking but I'll enter the item tonight.
