C64 Stuff
by Howard Gibson 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

I am cleaning out my basement so that I can get a new furnace installed. I have all sorts of books on Commodore_64s that I have no use for. I have the C64, but I am keeping that. Does anybody out there have a use for old C64 books, or is this stuff landfill? -- Howard Gibson hgibson(a)eol.ca jhowardgibson(a)gmail.com http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson

Web hosting questions
by o1bigtenor 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Greetings I bought web hosting and registered 2 domains with a company. The domains need to be renewed annually but the hosting is on a three year rotation. The renewal is going to be about 2.7 x the original hosting contract. Is this normal? What do you of those that have a personal or small business website do - - - move before renewal - - - or ????? I have managed to setup a webserver here at home. I tried to use one of my domains - - - that doesn't work because dns resolves to my host and not here. Any suggestions on what and/or how to setup things to experiment here before I go live with something? (I want to try things like horde's webmail groupware (Have it installed locally already) and other tools in the running of the business.) TIA Dee

Call for Support: Internet Society FOSS SIG
by Evan Leibovitch 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Hi all, At the request of a number of members of the Internet Society, I am initiating an application for a Free and Open Source Software Special Interest Group (FOSSSIG). Part of the application process requires me to collect the names and contact information of at least registered 25 Internet Society members. If you are an ISOC member and would like your name added to the list of original supporters, please let me know by personal email (ie, don't respond to the list). Once completed, a application to form the SIG will be submitted to ISOC. If approved, it will have two years to establish governance, strategic objectives, and hopefully execute a project or two. Thanks for any offers of support. -- Evan Leibovitch Toronto, Canada Em: evan at telly dot org Sk: evanleibovitch Tw: el56

Someone has a Unihertz Jelly Pro smartphone?
by znoteer＠mailbox.org 27 Oct '17

27 Oct '17

Hi, Was it on this list that someone said they had a Jelly Pro phone from Unihertz? If so, would you mind answering a few questions? 1) How is the general build quality of the phone (as rugged as any other smartphone, or flimsier)? 2) 240x432 pixels is not terribly high res. How is this for browser, app and general phone use? 3) Given the small screen, how is typing on the on-screen keyboard with big fingers? If I've got the wrong list, sorry for the noise. Cheers, -- znoteer znoteer(a)mailbox.org
