  Re: GUI LUGNET streaming news client in Java (Was: Pseudo-streaming live news (was: Re: Monitor Page))
 
Wow. Not one reply. Two people (including myself) gave the original message a score of 100, though. Did anyone download and try the client? Was the cold response the result of my presentation, or did the app just bite? Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Geek Pride Day
 
Hey, all you Boston geeks (you know who you are)! Has everyone heard of the Geek Pride Festival this Saturday? You'll all be there, yeah? (URL) This is not an April Fool's joke. Or if it is, it's a very elaborate one and I've been taken in. :) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)  
 
  Re: MPEG Encoing
 
(...) Sorry about the late answer -- I've been on vacation. You may want to notice that XAnim only displays I-frames, not B or P. This may be why it looks jerky to you. I would suggest using mpeg_play to playback the movie rather than XAnim, or you (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek) !

  Re: atari 800 web server
 
I just have to ask: Is there any actual USE for this thing other than the novelty factor? (reason enough for doing it, of course) What's the oldest iron known to be interfaced to the net this way? The dumbest (most limited CPU) The smallest? (...) (25 years ago, 25-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  A real simple one
 
Under windows 95, I've got an application window that's gone missing. That is, I can maximise it, and I can minimise it, but when I do a non maximised restore, it's not there. I think it somehow got either its size set to 0 or its position sent off (...) (25 years ago, 25-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
