Well been an interesting day yesterday.. bin day tomorrow, so I got
out with the handsaw and took to the "tree/shrub" and filled the
bin. Doesn't look much different really... the garden such as it
is, is like that here. Nobody's looked at it in years, the
maintenance barely mows the lawn. Sooo it'll be slow going, and
waiting for another round-tuit to arrive for another go.

Not much change in the webring, took out the buggered if I know
comment for Macs on the App page and put in a mail sysop if you
have a good terminal/client. Added Prison BBS in, that makes us 10
at the moment.

Over on the jamnntp side of things, I still can't figure out what
in the flying fortescue its doing with genuine newsgroups
attempting to be posted via nntp. It rejects everything outright
from SUCK, even having tried suck in configs for all types of news
servers. I seem to have a problem with one jam base too... not
sure if whether to worry about it or ignore it. FMAIL complains it
can't read the header file, but goes ahead and tosses mail anyways,
and its all readable. I don't recall seeing any jam repair utils
around though.

And I'm posting this just so I can play around with Thunderbird
which can NNTP post to jamnntp (boggle). Thunderbird does some
REALLY weird things trying to thread conversations. Completed
unrelated items get joined together, occasionally it gets it right.
For example, I see The Godfather, RE: Lawn and landscape the next
two messages in the thread are Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit). Quite
strange, it also likes to bury new messages in threads too, not
sure if there's a way to disable threading.

It's kind of silly having several BBSes I guess, but fun things are often silly :)

Im in the process of putting up another one as well, silliness all
around I guess...

I've chewed over using "Silicon Sarcophagus" a few times... it actually
appears in the old "You want to be a sysop" text file thats still kicking around out there. But aside from having a name and a theme in mind, I didn't have any other purpose for it...

There's always virtualbox :)

Yeah true.

If you want to try it, I can hit you up with a basic DOS VM... saves having to try and install from floppy images. :)
