OLD BUSINESS <WalterOS2> a. I mentioned in the BOD meeting, but Vaughn Bender has resigned as Marketing Director: he felt he needed more time with his family--he does have 4 children. <WalterOS2> b. VOICE hasn't has a Secretary for a long time <WarpedOS2> Walter that is 3 children.. :-) <WalterOS2> At the BOD we appointed Bill as Interim Secretary until our next election. <WarpedOS2> unless you are counting my wife as one...hehehe <WalterOS2> That's what I doing..yes. :-) <WalterOS2> Hi Vaughn. :-) <WarpedOS2> better make sure I clear the screen or might get hit by flying objects... Hi Walter <WalterOS2> c. Ken: What is the URL of VOICE2? <KenKrchnr> URL or IP? <WalterOS2> Sorry: IP. <KenKrchnr> IP is 206.135.240.102 <WalterOS2> I'm having a bad weekend with the Internet! <WalterOS2> Is that fixed? <KenKrchnr> We currently have a test machine for Doug at 206.135.240.98 <KenKrchnr> Yes, they are static addresses. <WalterOS2> OK, thanks. I think I'll be writing to you later about trying to setting my own server. I can't seem to the the URL and IP to connect with each other. <WalterOS2> setting=setting up <KenKrchnr> VOICE2 currently runs www.warpdoctor.org, warpdoctor.org, www.webbnet.info and irc.fyrelizard.com <WarpedOS2> what is it...linux or OS/2 system? <KenKrchnr> We're all OS/2 here. <WalterOS2> OS/2 naturally. <KenKrchnr> That particular machine is eCS 1.1 <WarpedOS2> that's good <eCSNL> That stack is very good.... <WalterOS2> I'm not a masochist. :-) <eCSNL> BTW use the TCP/IP tuner on CD 2... <WalterOS2> Same here. <eCSNL> That will make it even more solid! <WarpedOS2> where on cd2? <eCSNL> of eCs 1.1 <eCSNL> Just start install.cmd <eCSNL> and goto the networking menu.... <eCSNL> There you will find the TCP/IP tuner... <KenKrchnr> VOICE2 also is backup for www.os2voice.org, os2voice.org, os2voice.com, www.warpstock.org and de.os2voice.org <WalterOS2> Any idea how much space all that is taking up? <KenKrchnr> It's about 15G total <WalterOS2> Interesting. <KenKrchnr> I didn't put the hobbes backup or the DDK stuff on it. <WalterOS2> Who needs 250G hard drives when your using eCS-OS/2? <KenKrchnr> Oh yeah, it also has mail backup and forums.os2voice.org <WarpedOS2> got it and did it...thanx eCSnl <WalterOS2> 4. NEW BUSINESS <WalterOS2> a. No Treasurer's Report <WalterOS2> Peter's not still camping. Apparently he's quite ill and so is offline. Telephone calls to his place get only an answering machine. <WalterOS2> We are in the process of arranging an Assistant Treasurer so that we'll have someone to step in when Peter is down. <WalterOS2> b. Things to do <WalterOS2> i. Arrange interim Secretary (and Assistant Treasurer)--Bill has agreed to serve as Interim Secretary. <WalterOS2> ii I would like to my name and info to Help Desk under Roderick's. <WalterOS2> like to=like to add <WalterOS2> After a dozen "I don't know'" I'll probably take it off. :-) <WalterOS2> Before everyone leaves, any comments. <WalterOS2> This is going to be a very short meeting.. <Rat-Salad> I can add your info.. just send it to me <WalterOS2> OK, will do. <WalterOS2> BTW, did you get the suggestion for a new look to the VOICE web site I sent awhile ago? <Rat-Salad> no, I haven't gotten anything <Rat-Salad> I've suddenly developed mail problems <WarpedOS2> Jeremy I sent you one <WarpedOS2> same one I sent Walter <eCSNL> I have a remark... <WalterOS2> Yes I've Jeremy two emails almost back-to-back today and both bounced at his mail server. <WalterOS2> Go ahead Roderick.. <eCSNL> On the point of support... <eCSNL> With the OS/2 edition of august <eCSNL> my phone number was mentioned <eCSNL> Could this be put under the header "help desk" of voice... <WalterOS2> Out of curiosity, why would you prefer it there? <eCSNL> Because its now mentioned... <eCSNL> On the page of august... <eCSNL> Of the os/2 news letter.... <eCSNL> I have until not noticed it was also placed UNDER the voice news letter of september :-) <eCSNL> But I suggest this is put UNDER the section helpdesk <eCSNL> A much more logical place to put it... <WalterOS2> I think far fewer people will see it there. <WalterOS2> A good idea might be to put it under the HelpDesk section as you suggestion, and then put a link to it on the front page. If you look carefully, the Newsletter is not ACTUALLY on the front page, but simply has a link to it. <WalterOS2> suggestion=suggest <WalterOS2> Jeremy, what do you think? <WalterOS2> thinks Jeremy's fixing his mail server. <KenKrchnr> BTW Walter, http://irc.fyrelizard.com now = http://www.webbnet.info <WalterOS2> eCSNL: I'll leave that weighty matter for you and Jeremy to work out. :-) <eCSNL> oke <WarpedOS2> try the pic at http://www.flbsd.mb.ca/ftpfiles/pics/techstuff/mine/newvoice.jpg <WalterOS2> Ken: What is his email address? <KenKrchnr> Who?? <WalterOS2> Jeremy's: Has it changed? <KenKrchnr> No, that's the same. Only the webbnet home page has changed. <WalterOS2> OK <WalterOS2> Ken, maybe you and I could talk now, since things are so quiet. ?? <KenKrchnr> Sure <WarpedOS2> Walter...the pic I sent you is at this link where everyone can look at it: http://www.flbsd.mb.ca/ftpfiles/pics/techstuff/mine/newvoice.jpg <WalterOS2> Here's the deal. I have a static IP 65.48.158.205 that I got through DYNDNS.ORG <WalterOS2> I also have a domain WMETCALF.COM which is delegated to use the DYNDNS.ORG nameservers. (I hope I'm getting the terms straight. <KenKrchnr> So far so good. <WalterOS2> I also have a router using a NAT firewall in a router. Behind the router is LAN. All the machines except one are set up as DHCP. One is static, and on that one I have a Domino Webserver setup. <WalterOS2> I can access the Web Server using any of my workstations on the LAN, but on from outside the LAN. <WalterOS2> Everywhere that I can check HOSTIP WMETCALF.COM = 65.48.158.205 <KenKrchnr> Is your ISP connection a static ip? <WalterOS2> NO. <WalterOS2> My router is setup as Dynamic IP on the WAN side. <KenKrchnr> Do you have the dynamic ip being updated at dyndns.org? <wdl> Need to know - are we still a VOICE meeting? Logging, donchaknow? <WalterOS2> Let's close the meeting. <WalterOS2> All in favour of adjourning type Aye. <KenKrchnr> Aye <wdl> Aye <WalterOS2> Aye <WalterOS2> Carried. Meeting is adjourned.
