    This is the PRISM Chat echo

    Originally a local area on <<Prism BBS, this area has become a cool chat echo for anyone either connected to <<PRISM directly, or for anyone looking to chat with Fidonet SysOps. Nothing is off topic here. The Moderator is Janis Kracht.

    Thanks,
    Janis

    <<Prism is the name of my bbs system here in Fidonet. I named it Prism sometime in the 90's, with the 'shift-left' operators to indicate where I thought the politics of this country should be (not the now trumpish-right). YMMV :)

    Haha... Okay. The original Prism (BBSoftware) logo was Dark Side of the Moon ANSI. This week I am on the road, I am porting "PUP" aka "PUPPY" from T. Jenning to work over TCP, and I may add the echos to it, and re-release Puppy new source ... doing it, just to keep brushed up on my C to Pascal translation skills. ;-)

    Cheers!
    O.

    PS. When did filegate.net/nodelist/nodelist.z## (filename become uppercase?) Noted before I went on the road 2 days ago, my node list script was not synchronizing anymore... filename is now all upper. [FIXED].

    Hi Ozz,

    <<Prism is the name of my bbs system here in Fidonet. I named it Prism
    sometime in the 90's, with the 'shift-left' operators to indicate where
    I thought the politics of this country should be (not the now
    trumpish-right). YMMV :)

    Haha... Okay.

    Yeah... back then, it was Ronald Reagan not Trump... Prism being a shining light in the darkness (my software company is also named Invisible Light Software, btw...).

    As it turns out the name of my bbs still is still relevant - we still need to shift-left - maybe moreso now <g>

    The original Prism (BBSoftware) logo was Dark Side of the Moon
    ANSI. This week I am on the road, I am porting "PUP" aka "PUPPY" from T. Jenning to work over TCP, and I may add the echos to it, and re-release
    Puppy
    new source ... doing it, just to keep brushed up on my C to Pascal translation
    skills. ;-)

    Why not leave it in C? Any reason?

    PS. When did filegate.net/nodelist/nodelist.z## (filename become uppercase?) Noted before I went on the road 2 days ago, my node list script was not synchronizing anymore... filename is now all upper. [FIXED].

    Nick Andre releases the filenames in uppercase, I always hatched them out in lower case because linux is like that :) As I get them, they are tossed as is.

    If you look in the nodediff file echo on filegate.net, all the nodediffs I sent out were in lower case as well... when Nick took over, they started coming out in uppercase, and you will see that reflected in that directory as well...nodediff.a80 being the last one in lowercase on June 28, 2018.

    Take care,
    Janis
