-< Box denizens in hibernation >-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "box denizens" link (or whatever it's called) doesn't seem
to point anywhere. At least from VMS Mosaic...
Maybe we should have a photo of Simon Szeto on the home page
or the early history page.
And, as for history, the events of 1988 were at least as interesting
as anything that happened before that. But no way would I write
that up, mainly because I don't know all of it. :-)

Okay, this works fine for me now, thanks.
BTW, somehow it's funny that the first "Web site relevant to SOAPBOX
discussions" is the FBI. Maybe box denizens will show up on a post
office wanted poster soon. The scanned-in pics will sure come in

Pointing to topic 87 isn't what was wanted. What I've done was to
write a script that filters the results of an EXTRACT into a live HTML
file with active links to every http: site listed in topic 87. With
due allowances for failures to foresee people's inevitable gaffes in
entering syntax, of course. (I did make it smart enough to fix http:/
and http::/ into http:// and I also took into account a few things like
the fact that mosaic.playboy.com is now known as www.playboy.com .)
So there.

| 517.23 | The answer is Workgroup Web Forum(tm) - <what was the Q?> | DRDAN::KALIKOW | W3: Surf-it 2 Surfeit! | Fri Aug 11 1995 15:21 | 55 |
| Wot's all this bollox about "having to hand-code the 'BoxPage???"
Gentlefolk, iffen you WANNA have a 'BoxPage in CyberSpace (albeit safe,
non-visible-to-the-great-unwashed-INTERNET, within the Great Corporate
Firewall) for our WebRavings, then... (flourish) ... look no foider
than -- Workgroup Web Forum(tm) from your friendly neighborhood Network
Integration Systems group at LKG. Take a trip to
http://insight.lkg.dec.com/nisforum/general/dispatch.cgi
and my Very Own Local Copy at
http://www.ibg.ljo.dec.com/wf/ibgforum_open/dispatch.cgi
I mean, wot dis loverly, lovingly-created 'BoxPage is, is a sorta
crippled, non-interactive-as-DECnotes, simulacrum of what the 'Box
would dream of being, IF IT GREW UP into a MULTIMEDIA, USER-WRITTEN
THINGIE on the Web. This cannot, <i>trust me on dis, 'BoxBubbas &
'BoxBubbelehs,<i> be done singlehandedly by even the most generous-
hearted, HTML-savvy, 'BoxHardened 'BoxDenizen, even the estimable Herr
BinderSan...
It has to enlist the READERSHIP to become the WRITERSHIP. With their
own little fingers, pounding away on their own little clients. Ya
know... the way you have become accustomed to do, with your DECnotes
clients, onto BACK40::'s Notes Server? But WEBBISHLY???? With
whatever browser you happen to have handy? Down to Lynx or even (God
save us) WWW??
But not to worry -- we're Digital -- WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!!!
Please to note, (pun intentional), iffen you wanna have a CyberVenue
for this sort of CyBerdinage, someone <i>far</i> nuttier than me will
have to volunteer to take a kit and install it on THEIR box... You
won't catch ME moderating this nuthouse, if and when it ever goes
Webbish.
No-Flippin-WAY!!
With a bit of quite-easy-to-do customization, you could have virtually
everything that Herr BinderSan is now laboriously hacking up, all done
fer FREE!!
(And btw Herr BinderSan, you asked offline about how you might automate
the notification of users when someone new "signs up..." -- howzabout a
NEXT UNSEEN command? And a per-user BOOKMARK?)
But don't order yet... How'd you like a FULL TEXT SEARCH across the
ENTIRE INFOBASE? At lightspeed...?
But wait, there's MORE...

You have obviously mistaken a Web PAGE for a Web FORUM. Contrary to
popular belief, the two critters are not congruent. I've been looking
into WebForum, but that's not the purpose of the Box Web PAGE. We
already have a passaably usable forum right here, in case you hadn't

One would thinq, but one might be mistooken... tho' the jury is still
out on that pernt, and anyhow YOU are the keeper of the former...
Point of info -- It is perfectly possible to hand-craft whatever sorta
Front Page(s) one wants, and then have a web-style interactive forum,
as passaable as a Passat and with even more Fahrvergn�gen, tacked onto
the end. Where 'BoxLand belongs, natchally.
Nat�rlich you are right that we gots a forum going here on BACK40::,
and I'll grant you that it has a wider (and lower!) reach to the dregs
of 'BoxDenizens, some of whom, regrettablement, we would perforce
abandon were we to "go Webbish." But rest assured, that WebForum or
its growing number of conferencing-on-the Web ilk DOES represent the
wave of the future... Only a matter of time... Whether or not this
hits 'BoxLand is congruent, imho, with the larger question of
"Will DIGITAL survive?"

| Re .19 re .8
Just in case anyone cares...
The generation of the Topic 87 links list on the Box Web site is done
automatically by a pair of robots, one on this VMS system that extracts
the contents of Topic 87 nightly at 10:00 p.m. and one on my ULTRIX
workstation that runs at 10:30 to filter the extracted notes into an
HTML file.
If you see links that won't resolve due to things like slashes added or
removed from the end, I may be able to smarten up the filtering robot.

| >> What happened in 1988 that is as interesting as the years before it?
To make a long story short (others correct me if I'm wrong):
We had a "freedom of speech" crisis of sorts. Things got out of
hand (by the standards of some, that is). Ultimately the 'box was
seized and shutdown by others. It was closed for a while, then
it re-opened with new mods and a long, new set of rules that (in
the opinion of some) made it pretty difficult to discuss anything.
Most of the box old-timers "resigned". Lots of new "polite" boxers
came in; most of these had previously been read-only, but had been
somewhat intimidated by the old style, and felt safer coming into
the new 'box (which was termed "politebox" or some similar term,
by some).
Over the next several weeks, the new rules were relaxed somewhat,
and simultaneously most of the resigned old-timers came back, and
the box reached a steady state of sorts, that was at safer and
more in conformance with the evolving corporate standards, but
some would say also less interesting and dynamic. It's been pretty
much the same since then, to everyone's relief. :-)

| I think that the SEXCETERA crisis happened a couple of years
earlier, actually (I joined the group that had "owned" that
conference in 1987, a year or so after the crisis had passed).
The SEXCETERA crisis was probably worse in that some people
almost lost their jobs over it; I don't believe the 'box crisis
was as bad, but then I wasn't involved in it, thankfully.
I remember peeking at SEXCETERA only a couple of times, back
around 1985/6; I was afraid that my boss would walk into my
office and see it on my screen! :-)

Seriously (yeah, right) your background should be a library. \john's could

See .30 for a list of the formats I can handle.
Anything at a resolution higher than 72 dpi is a waste, because I'll
just have to re-rasterize it anyway. If your scanner software is any
good, it will already have done the necessary dithering. You will see
better results from files with 16- or 24-bit color than from 8-bit.
I will extract this information and add it to the Denizens directory
page for future reference.

take a file that big by copying it, and re-rasterize it. Or you can

| Makeover artists have been known to throw up their hands upon sighting
Mr. DelBalso.
Pick one:
1. His pulchritude is so striking that a makeover is unnecessary.
2. They throw up their hands in joy upon finding a model for Fabio's
"before" picture.

| Well, I don't know where it was that we were discussing the blotchkis that
needed to be removed from the scanned pictures added to the the box web
page the other day...
But anyway, I have just replaced the inferior PC-scanned gif image of the
Renoir Monet on http://bulova.zko.dec.com/people/john_covert.html with a
jpeg which has a million times as many colors in the same file size.
Now that all decent browsers support inline jpegs as well as inline gifs,
there's no apparent reason to use gifs anymore.

| Gradually refining the guest book - jeez, I love using a fun toy like
this for a learning experience. (It's official learning, too - I have
to know how to do this stuff for our documentation effort.)
Added a locking mechanism so people won't write over each other if two
or more happen to be accessing at the same time.
Added a filter that removes inadvertent duplicate entries like Tom
Ralston's. After fixing this bug, I zorched raq's "wondering why Tom
signed in twice" entry, hope no feelings are bruised.
