A word to sionnsar's ping lists
sionnsar | 9/30/2005 | sionnsar

Posted on 09/30/2005 7:23:22 PM PDT by sionnsar

All,

You may have noticed a certain lack of ping activity on sionnsar's ping lists in the past week.

The good news (depending upon how you look at it *\;-) is that sionnsar is back from his week of nearly no Internet access at all. (Busy most of the time, but when I had time available in the evenings, the only way to get there was to attach a USB cable to the cellphone, pin the cellphone to the drapes to get just 1 bar of signal, and even then uplink rates felt like 1200 baud -- with copious interruptions.)

The bad news is... I'm still swamped with work through the weekend, deadline: Monday. But even after that, the next several months ahead do not look like I will have anywhere near as much FRee time as I have enjoyed previously.

The FR Pipes & Drums and the Geezer Geek ping lists are very low volume and probably won't see any difference, though it is always good to have a backup ping list pinger, just in case. (Yes, this is a call for volunteers.) All the ping lists are set up to make it easy for ping-list alternates -- the only thing the alternate cannot do directly is alter the main ping-list-banner and ping-list. And if you'd like one of these as a ping list of your own... just ask. Except for the Geezer Geek list. (B^)}

I will comment to the other ping lists on their pings...

An alternate pinger would be welcome. Duties: find (or post) current-news-related threads related to bagpipes, and ping the list.


Pipes and Drums of FreeRepublic ping!

This is an ultra-low-volume ping list (typically weeks to months between pings).
FReepmail me if you want on or off this list.

An alternate pinger would be welcome, as I can't keep up with FR these days...


Geezer Geek ping.

This is a very low-volume ping list (typically days to weeks between pings).
FReepmail sionnsar or ??? if you want on or off this list.

My FRiend, are you're sure you're logged in even now?
Suggestion: Maybe you could smoke a cigar and play the bagpipe at the same time so you could send FReeping smoke signals?



BRASS rules! Especially French Horns! LOL

An alternate pinger, or even better, new ping list owner, is sought. I only took this one up because CyberCowboy777 let it go when he left (I still wish he'd come back) and I thought it important we Washingtonians be kept abreast of local news posted on FR -- as there is often enough stuff we (well, I) don't read on the MSM.

Baynative...?


Evergreen State ping

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this ping list.

Ping sionnsar if you see a Washington state related thread.

Below is a photo taken 9/11/05, I had you in mind when taking it. Haven't had time to post the whole photo essay. A poignant day...

I'm with you on the busy! And then I spend my off days...wandering around FR instead of doing what I should be doing!

I wish I had enough time to help.

I appreciate your efforts when you can. In any case...thanks!

All, you know I picked up the list when ahadams2 passed away last year. newheart has been a a good and helpful alternate but has not been heard from lately. Like me, he has a busy travel schedule. This is the list that is most likely to be affected (as if it hasn't been already)... don't expect service to return to normal anytime soon, if it all comes from me.

Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (typically 3-9 pings/day).
This list is pinged by sionnsar and newheart.

I'll try to find y'all a new home for October, but it's going to be late and maybe not the best. Anyone wanting this ping list, please take one step forward (whilst everyone else takes one step back).


What's this all about?

I know how you feel. I thought that this new phase in my program would give me more FRee time, too. But that didn't happen. I'm online less than before. :-(

I don't know if we've even found a new home for next month.

Believe me, after a week away I Know I Am.

I would never do that to my reeds! Though my best chanter reed is so black (normally honey-coloured) it looks like I've done just that...

Nobody's told me if they have... I may have to grab something at random...

Had a little problem.

The current thread seems to be doing okay so far - no lag that I have noticed. So if we have to stay there a little longer, it should be okay.
