|
|
Larry Ayers lives on a small farm
|
|
in northern Missouri, where he is currently engaged in building a
|
|
timber-frame house for his family. He operates a portable band-saw mill,
|
|
does general woodworking, plays the fiddle and searches for rare
|
|
prairie plants, as well as growing shiitake mushrooms. He is also
|
|
struggling with configuring a Usenet news server for his local ISP.

<H4><IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="../gx/note.gif">Earl Brown</a></H4>
|
|
Earl Brown has been involved in the Internet for 4 or 5 years, and got into
|
|
Unix when he realized that Unix helped start the Internet and
|
|
that it is the future of the Internet, as well. He loves LINUX as an
|
|
operating system, because "The fact that it's free doesn't hurt, but the
|
|
important thing is that I think it's the best OS out there." He is a
|
|
computer programmer, an Internet specialist. He has fantasies/dreams
|
|
about becoming a writer and a college teacher. For more of his work, see
|
|
http://www.lvinet.com/~gleep/CompKnow/CompIdx.htm. His personal web page
|
|
can be found at http://www.enol.com/~gleep/.

John Fisk is most noteworthy as the former editor of the <I>Linux Gazette</I>.
|
|
After three years as a General Surgery resident and
|
|
Research Fellow at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center,
|
|
John decided to "hang up the stethoscope", and pursue a
|
|
career in Medical Information Management. He's currently a full
|
|
time student at the Middle Tennessee State University and hopes
|
|
to complete a graduate degree in Computer Science before
|
|
entering a Medical Informatics Fellowship. In his dwindling
|
|
free time he and his wife Faith enjoy hiking and camping in
|
|
Tennessee's beautiful Great Smoky Mountains. He has been an avid Linux fan,
|
|
since his first Slackware 2.0.0 installation a year and a half
|
|
ago.

Since I've chosen to celebrate Halloween in this issue, I'll include
|
|
a few Halloween and weird links in hopes that they will not disappear on November 1. <BR>
|
|
<P>

<IMG ALIGN=LEFT ALT="" SRC="./gx/penguin.gif">
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><A HREF="http://www.cascade.net/yaboo.html">YABOO</A> A YAHOO parody
|
|
page with only Halloween links. Some neat links to Halloween history, ghost
|
|
stories, etc.
|
|
<li><A HREF="http://www.chaco.com/~glenn/jack/">Virtual Jack-0-Lantern</A>
|
|
Have fun creating your own virtual jack-o-lantern. Includes a Haunted
|
|
Pumpkin Patch for those with Netscape 3.0.
|
|
<li><A HREF="http://www.kahunanui.com/hellhaven.html">Virtual Haunted House</A>
|
|
Looked interesting, but not open until October 31. Check it out.
|
|
<li><A HREF="http://www.best.com/~4forry/">Forest J. Ackerman</A> of
|
|
monster and "Sci Fi" movies has a very weird site indeed.
|
|
<li><A HREF="http://www.drmoreau.com/">The Island of Dr. Moreau</A> movie
|
|
site.
|
|
<li><A HREF="http://www.dash.com/netro/fun/hol/hlw.html">Halloween Mystery</A>
|
|
Billed as an interactive MUD-like page, this turned out to be a
|
|
game that you play following text instructions and story-line to solve a
|
|
mystery.
|
|
<li><A HREF="http://www.discworld.imaginary.com:5678/">Discworld</A> is
|
|
not exactly Halloween, but is definitely weird and fun. Another MUD game
|
|
based on Terry Pratchett's fantasy novels.
