Subject: Duh!

Heard from Newt Gingrich's computer today. Looks like a standard propaganda repy. I expect it will be a few days before a human reads his E-mail. Bet he has a private E-mail address for important stuff.

Bob - While I was working on stripping the headers of January's mail I re-read your comment: "I feel like Calvin. And/or Hobbes. Let's go exploring!" You know, now that the strip is defunct, Calvin and Hobbes are perfect honorary mascots for our defunct school. I so move (all in favor signify by signing up for a game of Calvin ball.)

BTW - I've been stripping headers for a while now and decided to see how far I have to go. I am on page 13 (after the headers are gone) and there are a total of 62 unstripped left. Must have been close to 100 pages of text when I started. Prolific little devils aren't we?!

Dave! Good going on the scanning. If you have each page in one giant file, send a page to me at ftp.Baker.HS.org/incoming and I'll see what I can do with it. How 'bout using the page with your picture as a test?

Don and Dave, if either (both!) of you want to look at the MIT program, there's a copy on ftp.Baker.HS.org/pub/mit-dcns-cgi950822.tar

Everybody, Baker now has an FTP server. For those new to the Internet, FTP is File Transfer Protocol. It's another way of transferring files among Internet-connected comptuers. Because the FTP server is accessible to anyone, jsut like our Web page, it isn't the right place for things like class telephone and address lists, but it's much better than e-mail filr things like scanned pictures for those who can use it.

Bob - When I get January stripped, I'll zip up two text files and try to FTP to you. One will be a hyper text file for the page and one will be plain text so folks will be able to FTP if they want. Will strip addresses, phone numbers, etc out of both versions.

Dave Simmons, Don Stauffer, et al - Looks like I am the only one to have discovered the Scott Adams/Dilbert Home Page. You can tume in on AOl by using Keyword "Dilbert" which (in addition to being a Page) is linked to a WEB Home Page.

It' another great day in history...we have laws to protect women from rape, we have laws to protect us from robbery, car theft, gun control,and a multitude of other henis crimes, and now we have a law that will eventually limit what I can put on my home. What a great day for the victims. The politicans have really got on the band wagon. Maybe they are afraid of the truth themselves.

Have a wonderful day, I'm going black.

I support having the background for the homepage black for a week or so. It is truly small minded of the elected political community to take the position that knowledge is not in the best interest of American society. Personally, I don't think they will win on this issue in the long run. We need to be willing to keep pointing it out to them.

Go black for a week. Then when the time is right, vote in a whole new Congress and President. I doubt that the framers of our Constitution ever invisioned that people serving their country would make it a profession. Term limits are placed in the voters hands...and we have failed. Our last local elections only had about 30% turn out. Pitiful.

Congress has passed boneheaded things in the past, prohibition being a good example. Those elements on the net who inspired the CDA will go into stealth mode and continue doing what they always have and the other 99.7% of us will have to pay for the acts of those few.

I can see the next move now. In the advent of many sites migrating to other countries, there will be a new bill introduced to sever links outside of the United States.

Make the background black and never forget that the internet is strong enough to be a demographic all of its own in the polls.

Subject: Whew!

Well, I'm about half finished grading my first midterm. I've been through all the papers twice. First I checked off the obviously correct answers on all the papers and read everything else, taking notes on patterns of errors. Then I went through again and assigned points, but marked on a worksheet instead of the test papers.

I've tabulated the scores and identified the numerically troublesome questions. Next I gotta write detailed scoring rules for the bad'uns to be sure I grade them uniformly, *then* I can go mark grades on papers.

The test was too long, and right on the edge of being too hard, but it's not as bad as I'd feared. (I was in a panic that I'd flunked everyone at first glance through them.)

It sure was a lot of work, though. I'm not sure how people who teach for a living do it. (Er, hi, Mr. Hardy!)

(That kind of thing is easier to do from work than from home because I have better access to the Net. I can futz with things from one keyboard and test with another.)

I'm still way behind with registrations and getting "non-routine" material on the web, but I've gotten *good* with name lists! More names... send more names!

I'll try to spend a coupl'a hours tomorrow on this stuff. (After the midterm's finished!) The web pages are beginning to take on a defined shape, but there's enough new stuff each week to keep people coming back. I hope. We're still doing mostly easy stuff... mainly class indexes, but we find a few new people each week, so by the time the easy parts play out we should have enough folks around to take on the harder work.

Life has been disrupted by the need to give and grade a midterm (spent all last weekend grading) and by loss of my Web access. The latter occurred when MCI pulled out of News Corp's Internet venture and they fired all their beta testers, including yours truly.

Yes, it's true... despite the fact that I work in the same building as the Baker server, I was getting access to it through a computer in Cambridge! The end of the MCI/News Corp test caused me to get off my tail and get Web access working at work. It's still not ready for prime time, but at least I can see the web pages.

There're a few chhanges on the Baker pages. Oid Rich ('75) typed in the names for the classes of '72 and '75. I've cleaned up the scrapbook pages a bit, mucked with the logo, and started working on getting the registrations in order.

Also, the AltaVista indexer has discovered the class pages. That means that people searching AltaVista for their own names (a popular passtime, I'm told) will find the Baker web site. So far, it looks like only faculty, '53, '64, and '65 are indexed. That makes sense because those were the first classes we had. The AltaVista robot visits our Web page a couple of times each week, so I'd expect the other classes to start appearing within a few weeks.

Your Webmaster has been laid up with the Non-Specific Upper Respiratory Crud. (I *love* working at a hospital so I can use those technical terms!) As a result, only the bare minimum of system administration (namely backups) has been done.

Since I was stuck at home with nothing else to do, I finished scanning the Class of '65 and put "annual logos" on the '62 and '63 People pages. I'm particularly pleased with the way '62 came out as it captures the essence of the annual cover without taking up a lot of space.

Although the '65 pictures are done, they aren't properly linked, so you'll get a ? image instead of the real thing. Since I have to go in to work anyway because of a problem, I'll try to get some of them linked, but expect problems with names beginning with P and after. Also, there will be some cleaning up to do after the linking; checking for missing or mis-matched pictures, etc. (Volunteers?)

This is not a typical chain letter, in that by passing it on to as many people as you can, you are taking part in what may yet become the world's biggest practical joke. The U.S. Government has recently passed an act which enforces censorship on the internet. A group of internet users have now come together to kick back at this oppression, and have a bit of fun at the same time.

The aim of this exercise is to re-establish the United States as "The land of the Free." Communist Russia fell as a result of such limits being placed upon the minds of the general populus. On receiving this letter, please pass it on to as many friends or E-mail lists as you can. We predict that if everybody copies the letter to 5 other addresses, by February 29th 1996, this letter should have reached in excess of 2 million people. That's when the fun begins........

On February 29th, please send the message:

Dear Mr. President,

Do you remember this:

Warning! Warning! While popular and practical jokes can be intended in fun, the consequences may no fun at all. I support appropriate expressions of opinion especially in matterslike cencership, but to deliberately enter into actions intended to to damage to then integrity of systems owned by those whose policies we do not support doesn't seem be a fruitful long-ternm solution.

What if, instead we encourage the use of this technology we own to communicate with every legislator to make them aware of these positions and post them alphabetically on successive days through the month until the entire alphabetical list is sent, allowing the system to survive, but with a clearly recognizable message from the people. Also if each message is individually sent, the organizers may yet avoid or reduce the prosecutorial aspects which would surely follow such a conspiracy to deliberately sabotage and disable the system resourses of the country. ( and Hey! its a federal violation with mega penalties.) I have spent 22 years defending free speech for a living, but I hope the creators of the Baker Homepage are not going to end up being cybermeat to some federal prosecutor. This country has withstood hundreds of stupid lawyers passing thousands of stupid laws by exercising the only power an individual citizen has: a vote. Electromobbery, upon a commercial interlopper throwing stuff in our faces is one thing, but hey, Billy Boy and Hillary may be sitting on the server today,but we all still paid for it, and there are even some other issues we all need to be able to communicate to both of them. Thanks for wading through this with me and know I full respect and support what your positions are and your absolute right to say it on my part of the internet anytime! Pete Young

Subject: Anti-Censorship, whitehouse.gov, etc.

I actually know a little bit about the mail system at whitehouse.gov, and I doubt such a "mailbomb" could harm it. If it begins receiving thousands of messages from AOL, it will reduce the rate at which messages from AOL are accepted. Similarly with Compuserve, etc. All the messages will eventually be delivered, but at a digestible rate. It is much more likely that the sending systems will suffer harm as thousands of messages sit in mail queues, being retried every few minutes.

I'm not exactly speaking against doing this. It isn't clear to me that thousands of people sending the same e-mail message is any different, or more harmful, than thousands of people sending the same paper mail message. I think it'll do even less good.

The same person who told me about the anti-mailbomb defenses at whitehouse.gov summed it up neatly: "no one high enough to matter will know or care. ... The worst you will do is waste the time or ruin the weekend of some underpaid civil servant."

That, I'm afraid, sums up the attitude of the current administration. Remember in November. But remember also that President Clinton didn't pass the CDA, he just signed it. There is plenty of blame to go around.

For all Lions-l:

The forwarding that I sent on NET censureship was created by one of the student computer groups on campus. I do not necessarily support the position advocated, but I do support their interest in seeing that someones attentioned is gained. Thanks for your reply info's.

Subject: Progress on '65

Well, there's nothing like being laid up at home to generate progress! I've finished the first pass through the '65 annual, and everything that's scanned is now linked and available.

There are (about) 45 names without pictures. Some are people who didn't graduate with us; I'll be able to find pictures of some of them from earlier annuals. Some (like Lynn Valenteen) didn't get their senior picture in the annual for whatever reason. I'm sure I won't have any trouble finding a picture of Lynn! In other cases, there's name confusion. Are Karl Reynolds and Jeff Reynolds the same person? (Karl's in the list, Jeff's in the annual.) Are there two Becky Morrises? What was Christina Diamond Steven's maiden name? Was it Diamond or Stevens?

I'm pretty sure Suzanne Koon and Suzanne Coon are the same person, but which spelling is right?

Are Charles Cain and Ralph Cain the same person?

The following people are on Anne's list of people who are a part of the Class of '65, but for whom I can't find any picture at all. If anyone can help, or if some of these folks are listed by another name, please let me know.

Baker, Daniel
Blakly, Ned
Brown, Linda Sue (Goodart)
Cain, Charles
Davis, Arnold R.
