Uh, I dunno bob. Eugene & I were there to see the live streaming
video demo you said you had. When I realized it was 
an animated gif, I left after 20 mins. Fun crown through.

You don't think we'd let you attend a real Cabal meeting do you, hmm ?

 Sorry baby, the Waverly nine
 is now short at least three
 that I can see. Think you'll
 have to re-name them the
 Spadina Bus Six. Every time
 I went to open the window
 from all that SMOKE the poor
 sots whined to close it.

 And the agenda was let's
 just say scattered. No so
 much a meeting as a coincidence
 One that is not likely to
 occur again. Thank goodness.

 Geeze Richard, at the rate you're
 going you'll be lucky if you even
 get wind of the meetings *months*
 later. I mean, anyone who can't
 tell the differance between server
 push (in Beta) and an animated GIF
 should have his Labac license
 revoked. Check for yourselves...

First of all, I had no appointment with you and Eugene to come to the 
Idiosyntactix office. I and Bob were to drop by the Alter.Nic office. The 
reason I and Bob were there was to take my machine away because I was no 
longer doing any business with Dmytri and Sasha, and I was kicking them 
off the server.

Second, the original reason for you to be there, or soI was told before
you showed up, was that you were planning to take your router away the
same day, which is the reason why I chose that specific day to remove my
server. 

Thirdly, if that was an animated GIF, then I dare you (and anybody else) 
to go to http://www.scriba.org/labs/ssp.html, right click on said 
animation an save this 'animated gif' to disk.
  Of course, there is the possibility that you might download all the 
images and manually create an animated GIF from it, which is why I would 
love to see an independant third party attempt the same.

: You don't think we'd let you attend a real Cabal meeting do you, hmm ?

One thing is for sure, _I_ wouldn't have been there. Perhaps the fact 
that I and Bob were there waiting for Bruce kind of punctured your plans, 
eh?

Another important thing to not is that you guys left before Bruce arrived.

And oh! The root password on VRx has changed, so I can't do this myself: 
Could you please reduce my account there to an entry in /etc/aliases 
(gard:gard@scriba.org) and remove my actual account? I have no intentions 
of ever logging on to VRx again, so not having an account there would be 
greatly appreciated.

Thanx.

Actually, this reminds me of a joke by Dennis Leary. But you know, the
thing they put in your throat to let you speak isn't quite as cool
anymore. I heard this woman in a book store the other day, she had a
monotonous speech synthesizer attached to her throat, and every time she
used it, she put her hand to her throat to enable it. Kind'a reminded me
of old science fiction speach synthesizers. 

But it isn't these guys' _lungs_ I'm worried about, but that's a
completely different story.

-- 

Well, this was the day I went to the Idiosyntactix office to take out my 
server for physical termination of all business with these guys du to 
abuse of my server. Bob Allisat was there to help me pack. Bruce Becker 
had a car. Unfortunately, the rest of the gang below appeared before 
Bruce, and thus caught us by surprise.

What Joe Baptista, Alexander Braun, Tom Evans, Eugene Kashpureff, Dmytri 
Kleiner and Richard Sexton was gathering there for I have no idea, and I 
am not sure if I really want to know. I just wished I had removed my 
server sooner.

Since that day, there was officially no business going on between Scriba 
Org and the above mentioned Waverly 6. I refuse to do any business with 
any of them due to incidents of a nature that I prefer not to elaborate 
on publicly.

I resent any connection you might try to draw between Scriba Org and the 
Waverly 6. I resent any connection you might try to draw between myself 
and the Waverly 6.

I was a victim reclaiming my property that day, not part of the conspiracy.

 It was Server Push Richard. And
 it is very efficient and beautiful.
 There are a few bugs. But when they're
 ironed out it'll kick ass. When we get
 the video streaming down watch out.

 Also... I'll go one better than Gard.
 Please delete any and all accounts
 I may have had on your machines.
 I'll have no further use of them.

 Thanks for all the help Mr. Sexton.
 Next time you say "No strings attached"
 instead say "I expect you to agree with
 me about anything and everything or *I*
 take a hissy fit." It'll make everyhting
 easier later on down the line.

 Toodles.

It sure is Server Push, but I don't know about it being "efficient". It
really messes up when you're using proxies.

Wouldn't it make more sense to upload an animated GIF the same way, feeding
the frames you want to display, then when it's viewed a second time on a
system with a proxy server it'll look the same. The technology would be a
little hairier (you'd have to generate an animated GIF on the fly... I
don't know how well GIF adapts to streaming... PNG might be better) but
the result would be a lot cleaner.

Who abused your server ? I certainly hope you're not implicating me.

Why is it people I give free services to for months, if not years,
like Gard and Bob, end up being so *thankful* later on.

Allisat invited me for weeks on the phone to see a "live streaming
video demo". He didn't tell you I was going to be there ?

This is getting rather pathetic.

P.S. Gard, it's polite to *ask* somebody if they want to 
seconday one of your domins, not just assume it ok and
list them to the NIC.

How bout you take "mailto:bob@vrx.net" off your website, too?

You guys are too much.

Can I get my Camera back now, too ? Oh, and and who

And what about the domains I secondary for guys, should I nuke

 It's not the software
 it's the proxy that's
 the problem. We find
 more and more difficulty
 in these proxies overall.
 Some of them seem to be
 doing a little more than
 directing traffic. Seems
 like a lot of interferance
 derives from that source.
 The softwsare, however
 performs well for a Beta.
