White Christmas...

Wendy the Weathergirl said this morning that the night will bring snow and
all of his good friends like slush, ice, and generally freezing cold.
Meanwhile I get to sit in front of my terminal waiting for the disaster to
happen.  The little talking clock says...

"FFFHHHIIIVVEEE TTTHHHEEEVVVEEENNNTTTEEEEEENNN PEEEE EEEEMMM *pop*!"

...which means it is dark out in the Great Brown Connecticut.  In
Connecticut any time after dark is dangerous because the Yuppies are
on the prowl in their Bimmers rushing from shopping mall to shopping
mall.  You can hear their frightening cry...

"Do you take VISA?"

Suddenly I come back to my senses and realize that this is a BITLIST
I'm supposed to be doing, and you would like to hear the news.  Well
here it is...

CLUB (the Chat Layperson's User Bulletin) is available from FORUM@BITNIC.
According to Bob Baker, the editor of CLUB, issues are released on an
irregular basis.  It is very interesting, contains good articles, and
more in-depth information than the BITLIST.  Take a look at it.

CSNEWS@MAINE now holds back issues of NutWorks, the electronic humor
magazine, also known as the most rib-tickling thing since barbecue sauce.

And now, a Christmas message from Nico Avico

***********************************************************************

To the LFCNET users community.

Due to Christmas holidays, I wont be able to look after the server. I decided
so to suspend its activity until january: possibly, I'll start it again on 7th.

I wish to thank here all the people that made LFCNET server possible. Many
of them helped me a lot with critics and suggests; unfortunately I didn't
traced everybody, so I cannot do a partial list here. However I hope they'll
appreciate my best wishes.

However I *must* signal Fuzzyman, who permitted LFCNET to be widely
known via his Bitlist magazine: in fact there was a period when LFCNET was
operative but totally unknown, and the commands flow was really poor. Since
it has been reported on BITLIST, the activity did grow to reach about 200
valid commands per day, plus invalid ones and personal messages. Thank you
Chris.

As usual, I remember you that LFCNET is intended as a public *common* storage
media: you are invited to fill it with your best programs, sending them to
the server's reader. The space is still wide: we have 80 cylinders, more. So
why not using them??

Several upgrades are going to be implemented: I'll just signal the command
queue, which will permitt to do some batch requests about files; then they
will be sent after some time, possibly during night hours, to leave the network
load as low as possible. Another future enhanchement will be the (already
announced) availability of a command-file processor: in this way also files
with commands will be accepted. I'll signal these facts via Bitnotes of Bitlist
as soon as they'll be operative.

This year has been good for me: I hope the same (and I wish even better) for
every of you. Take care folks !!!

                                                    Nico

*******************************************************************************

That would seem to wrap up this issue.  I want you to have a very happy
holiday and I will see you on the 27th...

In terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.
Epi ge eirene en anthropois eudokias.
Peace on Earth to men of good will.

Virtually;

Chris
(Fuzzyman)
