Dear LUGNET Users,
after quite some time we have decided to move LUGNET to a more modern
cloud-based server platform to improve bandwidth and reliability of the service.
While we are aware that technology has advanced and the LUGNET discussion
platform is not anywhere near as active as it used to be, we shall try to fix
the (still broken) email gateway in the process to facilitate postings if you
need them.
All other means of access should remain unchanged and if the migration works out
as planned, it will keep the site up and running for years to come.
Thanks and regards,
Jerry

Hi everybody,
the server move as such has been very successful this time as opposed to
previous moves.
Not only did the move just take a mere 2 hours, primarily due to the low
bandwidth available to transfer all the files and fix a few settings.
More importantly, I was finally able to identify a few code glitches that kept
flooding the server error log, keeping me from focusing on the really
complicated items that invariably do exist in sometimes over 20 year old
scripts.
Anyway, LUGNET is up and running, apparently a lot more smoothly than it has
been for a while, and even the ancient C News service (which is required to
enable news posting) is still working.
I am sorry, though, that the email gateway that was used to conveniently post
messages until quite some time ago remains broken. It almost seems like some
internals of the mail transfer agent have changed that prevent the old scripts
from handling incoming mail correctly - I am therefore not promising to fix it -
it may come as a suprise if I finally get the knot untied.
Personally, I'm glad the site still works and there are still enthusiasts out
there who appreciate it. In times like these, that is a good thing and makes
every effort worthwhile.
Thanks and have fun,
Jerry

Hi Marco,
I must have phrased it in a confusing way then - the announcement was meant to
say that the site was moved 1:1 - so the fact that we are reading and writing
here means that LUGNET _is_ actually now running on a cloud-based server.
There is no change in address, and for all that I can influence, there is not
going to be a change in address at any time as it will not be needed. We cannot
be hit by plain old hardware outages any longer.
Thanks,
Jerry

Hi Marco,
you are right, peeron.com is not part of LUGNET as such although of course the
sites have been connected for a long time now.
There appears to be a general problem with icons/thumbnail images display on
Peeron at the moment - I shall try to get in touch with folks and see how that
can be fixed. It is not hosted on any servers I would have admin access to, and
it is perfectly possible that they just have not noticed the problem yet.
I will post a followup here with whatever I find out.
Thanks,
Jerry

Hi Marco,
I am sorry but I have not heard back yet. I have been told that getting a
response may take some time nowadays as the admins probably cannot dedicate as
much time to maintaining the site as they used to.
I will let you know once I find out what's happening.
Thanks and regards,
Jerry

Hi Marco,
I guess we're out of luck there - I have not heard back from anybody either and
pinged some of the folks I know over in the U.S. without any luck.
So unless somebody with access to the site stumbles upon this and fixes it,
we'll have to stick around waiting. From here, I am afraid I have no other way
of doing anything.
Anybody reading this and affiliated with the ppl running peeron.com is welcome
to chime in and add suggestions.
Thanks,
Jerry

Dear Jerry
I am exploring the possibilities offered by the Lego Dacta/RoboLab kit I have
just bought on Ebay.
I used Lego Dacta in the first school I worked in back in the late 90s.
I am hoping that I can adapt it to enthuse the A Level & BTEC Computing &
Computer Sc students at college.
I am hoping to adapt it to use Python?
Then it will be an asset to teaching procedural programming?
Perhaps you could advise me on how to get started?
Regards
Sandy Walsh
