trek-info@dweeb.fx.com (Jim Griffith) (07/19/90)
Sigh. You may have noticed a prolonged silence from me as of late, only recently broken by the flood of articles that I just posted. This is due to the fact that I have left the world of the uneducated and joined the ranks of the employed. Yes, I've given up my position as a student in order to attain that most-cherished status of Tax-payer. Accordingly, I've moved to a new site, namely dweeb.fx.com (I was allowed to name my machine, much to my employers' dismay). Anyways, the long delay was due to several factors. First off, I was called to jury duty, which commenced four days after my employment began (which was even more of a shock to my employers, who still hadn't gotten over having a local machine named "dweeb"). Not only that, but the ninnies (a.k.a. lawyers) decided that I was impartial enough to be on the jury, so I was selected (it was a federal case, no less - no jokes about "hang the bastard", please). So that took me away from the land of 0's and 1's for three weeks. Once I returned, I had my hands full with moving, working, and generally shaking my head and looking back fondly on the Days of Bread and Water that constituted my college education (although, I will never again wake up in the morning, look around my room, and say "what can I sell today?"). Once I found time in my busy schedule (well, I didn't really, but my supervisor is out of town this week...), it took me a while to get the aliases and shellscripts in place to commence moderating from my new site (due for the most part to the efforts of one Steve "Wild Man" Grady, who has my undead thanks for his efforts). And the connection to my old site is tenuous at best, due to one flaky machine and a silly little SLIP line, so moderating from my old site in the meantime was a haphazard task at best. But anyways, things are now up and apparently running smoothly. I've tested the aliases and things look hunky right now. As such, rasi submissions should now be mailed to "trek-info@dweeb.fx.com" (as is reflected in the New and Improved Guidelines for Submissions). I encourage you to test the system by submitting articles containing all kinds of nifty Star Trek news. Note that I've installed aliases at the old site which should forward submissions to the appropriate places, so if you mistakenly mail a submission to the wrong address, never fear - I will get it. Eventually. If you have problems submitting articles to the new address, drop a line to griffith@scam.berkeley.edu, which will get to me fairly quickly, and I will have Steve look into it. So now that filming of the fourth season is underway and rasi is once more in business, all is right with the world. Once again, I apologize for the interruption, and we now return you to your regularly-scheduled broadcast.
