BP> Hi All, Hey dude =) BP> I just wanted to let everyone know I haven't been very active the last BP> week or so on the computer. I have been scanning and reading new BP> messages, but haven't had a lot of time to post. That's ok, real life happens to us all =) BP> Over the last weeks, I have been in the process of obtaining a promotion BP> at work, and I was finally chosen for the position. Starting tomorrow, BP> Monday, I will be one of the two salaried managers at our location. WOW! Congratulations man, that's awesome news. What will you be doing in your new role? BP> For the next month or so, my hours won't be changing much. I'll still be BP> Monday - Friday, 0700ish to 1700ish. After that, I may be working a BP> compressed shift, which would be 0600 - 1830 Wednesday - Friday, but not BP> 100% sure at this point. How do you feel about the 3 12.5 hour shifts? I think that could be great to have 2 week days free for your self, and just slog it out for 3 days... but I guess it also depends on what it is you're going to be doing. BP> I hope within the next week to get back into some of the projects I've BP> been working on, and maybe get some of them finished. :) The one project BP> has been in the works for months, and is getting close to being opened BP> for testing. Always willing to trial and test stuff here, looking forward to seeing your projects coming into fruition too. BP> Other projects I've been working on include writing scripts for BP> obtaining news articles pertaining to different sports. I do have a few BP> of these already running, and can be seen in Sportnet, TqWnet, and soon BP> in Fidonet Earth echo, and hopefully in fsxNet. Yeah these are fudging awesome man! Love having the news right at my fingertips with no other distractions etc. Just the raw news, as it should be =) BP> Another thing I wanted to let every know about, as I think it's BP> exciting, is Michael Batts (stizzed) from The Rock BBS, has taken over BP> development of both the Mys Tic Announce File and Mystic MultiTool BP> packages that I had been working on. I'm not sure at this point if he BP> plans on releasing updates or not, but it's exciting for me to see BP> someone continuing with these projects. Thank you Michael. :) Wow that's great, so he's going to contribute? or fully own these going forward? Will you still be able to contribute to them too or solely him? BP> If anyone is interested in taking a look at the projects I have worked BP> on in the past few years, they can be found at BP> https://github.com/DRPanther As you will see, I haven't done anything BP> with them in quite awhile. Those were written in Pascal, and I've been BP> working on teaching myself C, which I think will give me more room to BP> expand and have more resources available. Yes I have that bookmarked already =) C is something I need to really start to learn, I have dabbled a tiny bit here and there, but not really done anything useful in it. BP> Let's see, what else is happening... Another project that I'd like to BP> do, as I can find time, is change the www.castlerockbbs.com website. I'm BP> thinking about setting up a system here to host my own website, due to BP> some limitations I've been having with GoDaddy and their hosting. When I BP> get to that point, I may be asking some dumb questions, and would expect BP> some dumb answers. As that is not my area of expertise, and I know it is BP> for some of you, there may be some issues I run into. For example, would BP> a dedicated system running Apache be sufficient, or is there another BP> system that gives more flexibility? What limitations with GoDaddy? I'm not a DNS expert by any stretch of the imagination but if I can help in any way I'd be very happy to offer it. BP> My son just separated from the US Air Force, and will be moving back to BP> New Mexico the first part of July. We're excited about having him closer BP> to home again. :) That's fantastic news, that'll be awesome to have him near by. Congrats!! BP> Ok, this was intended to be a short update as to why I haven't been very BP> active, and it turned into an autobiography. ;) Sorry about that. You could sell that on Amazon, I'll have the paper back though as I'm a cheapskate =) BP> If you are still reading, the winning lottery numbers are: 4,&*$#NO BP> CARRIER 4 check, noooo wait... what are the other ones... dang it! --- |14Best regards, |11Ch|03rist|11ia|15n |11a|03ka |11Me|03aTLoT|11io|15N |07ÄÄ |08[|10eml|08] |15ml@erb.pw |07ÄÄ |08[|10web|08] |15www.erb.pw |07ÄÄÄ¿ |07ÄÄ |08[|09fsx|08] |1521:1/158 |07ÄÄ |08[|11tqw|08] |151337:1/101 |07ÂÄÄÙ |07ÄÄ |08[|12rtn|08] |1580:774/81 |07ÄÂ |08[|14fdn|08] |152:250/5 |07ÄÄÄÙ |07ÄÄ |08[|10ark|08] |1510:104/2 |07ÄÙ --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A43 2019/03/02 (Linux/64) * Origin: The Quantum Wormhole, Ramsgate, UK. bbs.erb.pw (1337:1/101) .
