Adam is away for a week for something. He's at a conference.

Um... not really.. he's in Costa Rica :)

And I thought he was just still dodging my comments on ICQ bugging him to judge the Y2K contest - the vote for the top 3 to 5 was supposed to begin 2 months, 20 days, 6 hours, 35 minutes, and 37 seconds ago. Still waiting =)

Haven't these hosted sites been working for several days now? I think this news is somewhat outdated. Oh well. First Comment?

You might want to take the double qoutes off the end of the links :-)

That's fixed now. Thanks.

Also, we're doing rather badly at Science Olympiad. That's because my event hasn't come yet ;-)

yeah cool. anyway vti beta 5 is out (rusty.acz.org) so go get it.

(I know, a cool article will be posted and this will be deleted because it's irrelevant but whoever's reading this, get it!)

just a few days ago I downloaded beta 4 .... an upgrade to the new features would be nice .....

I'm having problems getting beta 5 to work properly, it won't accept any of my existing rom dumps. So don't go overwriting your copy of beta 4 just yet...

i dunno... it worked fine for me... i really like it!

What the heck were you talking about on that comment board not long ago? I am clueless.

amicek

which post are you talking about?

hmm... well i was thinking, i'm posting all this irrelevant stuff that i can't post anywhere else, so i think ticalc.org needs an unofficial news message board?

(if they already have one tell me so i can hit myself on the head 50 times)

It's called news@ticalc.org.

And I'll hit you on the head fifty-one times :)

Ok let me get this straight, Nick is miles away from his computer and manages to make an update?? How is that possible? You would need access to a computer, but are you even at a school that allows just anyone internet access? We apprectiate your devotion Nick, but how in god's name did you make this update??

amicek

Computer in our "home base" room.

1) Sat down.
2) Extended hands to keyboard to prepare typing.
3) Logged in under Novell Netware as "guest."
4) Opened Netscape.
5) Opened Notepad.
6) Typed news item.
7) Copied news item into Netscape.
8) Pressed "Process."
9) Served and enjoyed.

Pressed process? Is there some CGI thing that incorporates this into your site? You don't actually edit the index.html because that is constantly changing with CGI right?

amicek

There's a form we fill out. Nothing on the front page is edited by hand.

WAIT!!! Don't hit me on the head yet...

What I mean is like the thing they have on TI-Files and TI-News... you know where you post stuff and everyone can see what you posted... sort of like your main news page but we post stuff, not ticalc.org.

OK, NOW you can hit me on the head... make it fifty-two times. :-)

I was wondering. how do you make the graph on top of the page on the website? (the 3D graph)

I've been wondering that too... it's driving me out of my mind not being able to do it. I think it's just part of the picture used in the title, and maybe no one can make it.

probly something like 2^(-sqrt(x^2+y^2)/pi)*cos(sqrt(x^2+y^2))
definitely involves the cosine bit
