Greg says, "So, Tim, any report from the Chapters?" Severy says, "ASI has
asi-org-local@asi.org for a mailing list, but I don't think we have a Moon
Society chapter mailing list yet, or do we?" TimCadell says, "Nope, nothing
to report right now." Severy says, "Hmm, did the record just get turned on
twice?" Severy says, "record = recorder"
TimCadell says, "It looks like it, Randall." Greg says, "Are we running two
recorders?" rhodab says, "One in each ear?"
Greg says, "Somebody say something brilliant, to be recorded in digital
stereo for all posterity." TimCadell says, "By the way, anyone gone to
http://www.lunartraders.com/index.html recently?" dcarson says, "I was
going to turn it on when you did maybe it confused it" rhodab says, "Nope"
dcarson says, "looks good Tim"
TimCadell says, "Thanks. Do you like the parking?" dcarson says, "Tim, just
forwarded email from someone in Toronto looking for a local group"
TimCadell says, "By the way, we're having storms. If the power goes out,
you all have a good evening." dcarson says, "yes"
TimCadell says, "Thanks, Dana."
Greg says, "Just keep those storms on your side of the mountains, Tim.
We've had enough gloom already this week." TimCadell says, "Randall, do I
need to do anything to enable the cgi-ssl directory? It's not working."
TimCadell sucks in, attempting to keep the storms here. Severy says, "The
secure web server config file may need to be updated to point to that
directory, let me check..." TimCadell says, "Thanks."
TimCadell says, "What else is going on with Moon Society?" dcarson says,
"conference, if, when, where?" TimCadell says, "Ah, yes."
TimCadell says, "I'm okay with Caesars, but I know a lot of people don't
appear to be." dcarson says, "we should at least grab a room for Sunday to
just sit and talk after the lunar conf." rhodab says, "What days is the
lunar conf?" TimCadell says, "Anyone know?"
Severy says, "Tim, the SSL web server config file has the entry
"ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/virtual/lunartraders/cgi-ssl/", so the cgi-ssl
directory should work. But make sure the URLs have "cgi-bin", not "cgi-ssl"
in them." TimCadell says, "
https://www.lunartraders.org/cgi-bin/viewCart.pl/O7M946THQ5" TimCadell
says, "How about permissions for the directory. Anything special need to be
set?" dcarson says, "maybe we could organize one here in Baltimore, I was
thinking maybe the weekend before worldcon in Philly so people could just
come early if they're going to that?" Severy says, "lunartraders.org?"
TimCadell says, "That would please a lot of people." TimCadell says, "Oh,
oops. Thanks."
Severy grins.
TimCadell says, "That should fix it. I'll try again in a minute." Severy
says, "Yup, I get a page, but all of the image links are broken. The SSL
server uses ssldocs instead of htdocs for the document root." TimCadell
says, "Yup. I'll have to point to all of those over again." TimCadell says,
"Ah, much better."
TimCadell says, "Just a symbolic link away." Severy says, "chuckles"
Severy chuckles.
TimCadell says, "Does he?"
Severy says, "Much better ;-)"
TimCadell says, "Yup, thanks!"
TimCadell says, "Was everything already correct on the setup?" Severy says,
"Yup"
TimCadell says, "Well, pair took long enough, but it looks like they got it
right." Severy says, "Which is a good thing, since we don't have direct
access to the SSL server config file, we have to ask Pair for config
changes" TimCadell will be right back.
rhodab says, "Greg, in which ball-park range is one of the small meeting
rooms at Ceasars?" TimCadell says, "Alex broke the VCR."
Greg says, "Um ... Brooklyn Dodgers?"
TimCadell says, "Brooklyn?"
Greg says, "Well, it's an old building.l" dcarson says, "thats what
children are for Tim" dcarson [to make]: sure there is enough enthropy in
the world TimCadell says, "Ah, so the Sun adds energy, allowing us to push
back entropy, and the son adds energy, creating more entropy." dcarson
says, "yep"
Greg says, "Rhoda, what exactly was it that you wanted to know about the
meeting room at Caesars?" Greg says, "Was that a religious observation,
Tim?" TimCadell says, "Not that I can tell."
rhodab says, "The cost of a small one"
Greg says, "You mean the cost of renting a small meeting room?" Greg says,
"I don't know."
rhodab says, "uh huh"
Greg says, "They charged us $500 for all facilities for last year's
conference." dcarson says, "so one small room for one day should be about
$100 or so" Greg says, "On the other hand, the catering bill was
thousands." Greg says, "Yeah, probably something like that." Greg says,
"FYI, it might be a couple of months before I will know whether I will able
to make it to the Lunar Development Conference this year." rhodab says,
"Catering - as in coffee and sodas - were thousands?" dcarson says, "I'd
think the lunches"
TimCadell says, "Yup."
Greg says, "Yup. Three meals."
rhodab says, "Weren't they part of the registration pricing?" Greg says,
"Also rental of the A/V equipment." TimCadell says, "So what else do we
need to discuss tonight?" dcarson says, "Balticon?"
TimCadell says, "I have a system I've written (and am continuing to work
on) that is called DevTracker, kind of like the old action items system,
but more complete, and becoming much better. If you want me to set up a
project or projects for the Moon Society and different groups, I'd be happy
to." dcarson says, "worth trying"
TimCadell says, "Lunar Traders is a little short right now, but I think
we'll be interested in Balticon." dcarson says, "OK I'll send in a request
for a table" dcarson says, "for a marvelous example of pure hype
http://www.msnbc.com/news/513749.asp?0cm=c10" TimCadell says, "The URL for
DevTracker is http://www.lunartraders.com/devtracker" TimCadell says,
"Thanks, Dana, that'd be great." TimCadell says, "I'm creating DCarson as a
user." TimCadell says, "Okay, it's up."
dcarson says, "OK"
Greg says, "I have to admit that learning to use a new piece of software
isn't high on my priority list for tonight." Greg says, "Do we have any
Moon Society stuff to do tonight?" dcarson says, "not that I can think of"
TimCadell says, "Greg, I figured. I wouldn't spend a LOT of time learning
it anyway, since my new system is only weeks away, probably." TimCadell
says, "Anyway, dinner is ready. If we're done, I need to get going." Greg
says, "Yup, me too."
Greg says, "G'night folks!"
Greg has disconnected.
TimCadell says, "Night!"
TimCadell has disconnected.
dcarson says, "night"
The housekeeper arrives to cart Greg off to bed. The housekeeper arrives to

light, Severy vanishes into thin air dcarson has disconnected.
