Florida's uniforms are great, and used to be even better. I don't know about
their hockey uniforms, but Bowling Green's football uniforms (logically, they
are orange) aren't that bad.

If you visit the conference with Backtalk, you'll find a red button
on the conference home page that leads to a control panel for setting
conference options. Color setting is on there.

I installed a new version of Backtalk on Grex. This is a release full
of little features and bug fixes.
New stuff in 1.0.1:
Welcome Page:
- Looks a bit better to lynx users.
Entrance Page:
- Restored yellow background.
- There is a "Summarize Active Items" button on the home page that
brings up a summary of how many new items there are in each of
your hot list conferences. If you want this to come up everytime
you enter backtalk, there is an option you can set to do so (note
that if your hotlist is long, this is likely to make the entrance
page come up rather slow).
Edit Hot List Page:
- List of conferences was broken, is now fixed.
Conference Home Page:
- If you know the item number(s) you want to read, you can type them
into a box on the conference home page.
- There is a button to list participants in the conference. Like the
Picospan participants command, this is hopelessly slow. So much so
that the button probably should go away on Grex.
- Conference names are now capitalized by default.
- Fixed a bug with "resign" that nobody ever noticed was there.
Item List Page:
- Formatting cleaned up.
- You can now do a "read unseen" to see new and unseen items.
- There is now a "mark seen" button. You can also mark all responses
entered before a certain date as 'seen' (handy if you lost a
participation file and know when you were in the conference last).
- Fixed a Y2K bug in "read since yesterday" code.
Read Page:
- The conference name at the top of the page is clickable to return
to the confhome page.
Invisible Stuff:
- Interfaces (like pistachio and vanilla) can now be distributed
separately from the core Backtalk system more easily.
- Better compatibility with Yapp.
- Improved portability to an ever-widening variety of strange Unixes.

Nice changes, Jan. Thanks.
(Feature request: In the item list page, I'd like an option to
list just the items with new responses, like what "browse new"
does for you in Picospan.)

I keep getting freaked out when I join a conference in Backtalk, and see
the following:
Agora has 125 items: 0 brand new, 11 with new responses.
I keep reading the "125" as "new responses" or "new items".

It seems pretty unambiguous to me. Is there are a way to format that
message that would seem less alarming to you?

I know that I thought long & hard about the
55 newresponse items and 52 brandnew items
First item 1, last 176
message before I put it into PicoSpan. Confer did something different;
I think it may have listed out each item with new responses, perhaps
something like:
New response items:
1 2 3 20 35 72 123
New items: 241-245
I didn't like that display, because if you haven't been in a conference
in a while, you get a very scary list of items with new responses, and I
never found having a simple list of item #'s all that useful. I think I
was at least somewhat tempted to leave the "First item X,last Y" part
off entirely, but I did want to say something if there weren't any new
items, and I also wanted the output from "display conference" to be
similar and show the same information. Using the words "first" and
"last" was deliberate - I wanted to use the same words that could be
used in item ranges, "read first" or "read last".

I think it's just a matter of getting used to it. Maybe something like:
Agora has 0 brand new items, 11 with new responses, 125 total responses.
I also think #36 sounds like an interesting option to make available.
How about letting people configure what they want to see, Jan? Would
that be difficult?

IWLTA that the part of the conference login message which reads
"This conference has been restarted, join <confname> for the old
version" will become obsolete after a while. Such messages should
probably include a hint at the actual conference version number
(e.g. agora17) for ease of reference in the not-so-far future.

A vote is now underway on a member motion concerning the status
of the scribble log. Type "vote" or "!vote", depending on your
prompt, to see the text of the motion and for further information.
Discussion relevant to the motion is in the Coop conference,
Item 173. Voting ends at the end of the day (EDT) on June 22.

it went very well. They are asking me back sometime after the fourth
of july for a second interview when the art director gets back, and there is
maybe some talk of me working there for a month long trial period. This
waiting is gonna just about kill me though.
