 | | Re: Dear NNTP users,
|
| (...) I haven't looked at XUL writing, but I think it shouldn't be too hard for the java gurus. If I was going to write it, I'd probably try the Emacs way, with some lisp hackery. Or, better yet, write an NNTP proxy that will do the translation on (...) (19 years ago, 28-Jul-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) The web interface is bandwidth-heavy and it hasn't much memory of _my_ actions. (...) Gnus isn't strictly text-only. Neither is Mozilla. Pine is text-only. (...) Are you in the mood to study how to add new modes to Emacs? Or do you think it is (...) (19 years ago, 28-Jul-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
| | | | | Re: Organizing volunteer coders
|
| (...) It seems strange to me, to put RSS in the same group as SMTP and NNTP. To me SMTP and NNTP, like HTTP, are data transfer protocols. RSS is on the other hand a data (annotation) format which - at least in principle - can be transferred with any (...) (19 years ago, 28-Jul-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) That would be great! :-) (...) It should go without saying that we on the BrickLink Catalog refer to the Lugnet database regularly for verification of submissions and other questions and are happy to hear it will continue to exist.

|
| (...) (^_^) I can't tell you how excited the thought of this makes me. The LUGNET DB has always been my fav online project. I love working on it, and ever since the LouZ's Pause pages, I've loved browsing through old LEGO sets! [BTW, the LUGNET DB (...)

| | | | | Completing the Lugnet Database....
|
| For what it is worth, I do hope that Lugnet maintains some sort of existence into the future, including the Lugnet database. In finishing up the final tidbits for my Lego CD I have been working on now for nearly 3 years, I am just about to the point (...) (19 years ago, 27-Jul-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

Please relax a little more, and try not to stress too much. Nobody wants you (...) (19 years ago, 26-Jul-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) Hmm... you know, I hadn't even thought about this beyond the first time I put the blog URL in a message here. Now that I'm reminded of it, I'll try to include a warning whenever I post a link over there ..though I doubt that'll happen often. I (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) I think one big problem people have is letting their vindictive emotions govern their actions. The policy of "an eye for an eye" is really unnecessary, IMHO. I once was involved with a Lego project where there were some sparks flying. After (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
| | | | | Re: Dear NNTP users,

| I do generally prefer NNTP, but web based does have a few advantages. Here are my pros and cons for each (not specific to LUGNET unless specified): NNTP Pro: User selectable client software allows greater tuning of the interface. My software is in (...)

| Lenny, LUGNET is notionally a "family" site. Please don't link to outside pages which contain examples of your (or anyone else’s) foul language. :- Scott A (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

| (...) Ummmmmm well that's not really fair - phpBB has had 6 updates over the 6 months I've been running it, and only 2 were for major security issues. And most of the exploits are because the site didn't keep up-to-date with the latest updates, or (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) Lenny, as someone else that is concerned about the future of Lugnet, but that has "started their own site and runs it how they want", I think totally dissolving your relationship with Lugnet is (IMO) an over-reaction. I was also feeling very (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jul-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
