 Hi, Mark!
 > Jim Saunders 
 Do I know this Jim Saunders?  Used to work at Dymaxion, or  something?
 I have a terrible memory.  Anyway, tell him to give me a call and  
 I'll set up the account for him on the fly.

To: martinea ([[Mike_Martineau?]]) Hi, Mike! The Wolfville NSTN node is on the air - with the SNMP sysLocation set to "Wolfville" this time :-). The node was officially up as of 2:00 pm today. Installation was fairly smooth. Total installation time was about an hour and a half.

From Dan to [[Lorri_Neilsen?]]: Hi, Lorri! Danny [PVEC tech] is hooking up a program called Gopher at Parkview. It's a way of making a hierarchy of information available to Internet users. Has anyone talked about Parkview students arranging to *provide* some kind of information to other Internet users -- maybe just high schools in N.S. -- as a project? Some examples-

  • movie reviews
  • restaurant reviews
  • book reviews (maybe from N.S. k12 curricula?)
  • bus schedules
  • exam / holiday / inservice schedules
  • school events: concerts, dances & stuff.

We have installed my trouble ticket system on the "noc@dal.ca" on snoopy- it's not just Bruce and John and I on an exploder. Could you possibly change the alias on the VAX so that mail to "noc@dal.ca" and "noc@ac.dal.ca" gets forwarded to "noc@snoopy.ucis.dal.ca" ??
