Hi back (waves)!

Rumors of my early demise are premature :) - tho my wife will no doubt kill me
soon if I don't finish some of the "honey-do" items in lieu of my preferred
"dungeon work". Got our taxes out "just in time" yesterday; we owed so what's
the hurry? ;)

Thanks! At least I now have a starting point (sub 200Khz anyway; I was worried
that I'd be dealing in MHz or GHz!). I built a waveform generator a while back
that does decent "pure" sine waves, so I'll try your suggestion and let you
know what I come up with. One of my other pet-projects is to build a CNC-like
X-Y table with a hall-effect sensor (the ones I have will handle ~+/-700G) and
"see" the magnetic bubble in "3D living color" once the numbers are translated.
Not sure how "valuable" that will be, but it 1) will look cool :), and 2) may
aid in reproducing any working devices if/when I ever get there.

I was depressed when the BBS stopped answering calls :(. While the website is
my "preferred" medium now, and the KeelyNet site is really great, I missed
the message-base where all the "hot talk" was always going on. I'm glad that
we at least have this mailing list for now, and if Jerry ever gets the chat
going, that would be great as well. I personally would prefer an IRC daemon
running on a server somewhere that wasn't necessarily "publically" well-known
like the IRC UnderNet stuff, where we'd only get goof-balls dropping in. I've
set up Linux servers running ircd, and it's not that difficult, but like
anything else, costs "something"...

Unfortunately it means Jerry would need to have access to his own "net host",
which definitely costs more than $200-$500/year :). Plus the admin time/costs,
it adds up. I'm now working as a "senior web engineer" for Fidelity Investments
so I get to "play" with web stuff every day. I have most of the message-base
archived as well, but want to make sure I have everything (I think have most if
not all of 1990-1995, I want to make sure I get all of 96 & 97, etc.)

[Jerry, if you need a hand with something, give a hollar; I "do Perl" (and
other web-related development) every day...]

Web work is 1) addicting, and more importantly 2) VERY time consuming. One
really has to question the "return on investment" at times...think it's time
to contribute to the "Jerry Fund"... :)

Me too :). Keeps me sane knowing there are others who are willing to NOT
simply accept the "status quo" physics establishment. I want F/E / Anti-G
by the year 2000 :) - I think it's doable.
