Welcome To Summer
| 
Jun 22 18:05 UTC 2003 |
It is full summer now, the heart of June,
Not yet the sun-burnt reapers are a-stir
Upon the upland meadow where too soon
Rich autumn time, the season's usurer,
Will lend his hoarded gold to all the trees,
And see his treasure scattered by the wild and spendthrift
breeze.
-Oscar Wilde

(I was just thinking of saying that a copule moments ago, but figured
that might cause me to be branded an M-Netter.)

New users:
Hi everybody! You are in the agora conference, in item 1. Item 1 sometimes
gets very long and, well, it's often full of statements like "this is
response
number 100, isn't that exciting?!", which really, of course, isn't all that
exciting. Unless you're the one who got response 100. There are much more
interesting discussions elsewhere on Grex. If you don't want to read through
everything in item 1, press your "q" key at the "press Spacebar for more"
prompt. Then, at the "Respond or pass?" prompt, type "stop". Next, type
"browse", to see a numbered list of item titles. Say items 37 and 53 sound
to you like they're really interesting. At the "Ok:" prompt, type "read 37
53" to see them. Another option instead of "browse" is to type "selections"
to see some items that someone else (probably me) thought were interesting.
If you're using the web interface to the conferences (Backtalk) there is a
button you can click to see a list of the items.
The Agora conference has a lot of interesting discussion in it -- please do
go look for it!
Welcome to Grex!

Hello hello (I'm in the top 5, pretty good for me!)
I'm Anne, a resident of Ann Arbor (technically Pittsfield Township I
guess) and I share an apartment with bhelliom, and two cats (one mine-
Sasha and one hers- Magnus) and an adorably neurotic dog named Loki.
Welcome to Summer!

Well, Phil just went on my "IGNORE" list. Congrats, Phil!
Greetings all! As the ID says, I'm Greg, a resident of Taylor, MI,
about 25 miles SW of Motown (that's Detroit for all you intn'l folk).
I've been hanging 'round Grex off'n'on for a couple years now; Mostly
off, but working on making it more permanent. Hey, I might even become
a paying member! Agora's my hangout here on Grex. Not because I don't
like any of the other confs. There's just sooooo much to read here, or
at least there will be...Trust me.
Re. #3: I can't help but feel that Backtalk users are the stepchildren
of Grex. Everytime there's talk about how to do something, it's
assumed people are using a shell, which I know a lot of people use.
How 'bout making things more even-handed. And something like "there's
a button you can press" just don't cut it.
OK, that's enough from me...for now B-)
PS: I made the top 10...WOOHOO!

re #9- What about those of us who started via telnet and then switched
to Backtalk when it became available?

I appear to be 14, but that could change. No biggie, I'll hit driving age
yet.

As the author of Backtalk, I like to imagine that there is less talk about
how to do things in Backtalk because there is less to be said about it - it
is all supposed to be fairly obvious, and there are extensive help pages if
it isn't. (The help pages say a lot of things like "Press the 'item list'
button to get a list of items"). It's also to be admitted that there is
less you can do in Backtalk. Piping your input through Figlet is probably
not so easy.
It should also be pointed out that there are five different Backtalk
interfaces on Grex currently, and you do things differently in different
ones. In abalone there is no "item list" button.
