>Greetings from Jim Dennis</H3>
|
|
<!-- begin greeting -->
|
|
|
|
<p>So, I spent half of the month in Japan. The first week that I was
|
|
there I was too busy, tired and disoriented to get any e-mail.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>So my column this month is a bit thin. Of course there is this one
|
|
message that's pretty long. I think it's the second longest I've
|
|
ever written here. The longest was on Internet Routing. That one
|
|
is being used as supplemental reading for a couple of college
|
|
course from what I hear. This one is not likely to join it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Meanwhile I still have about 3000 messages in my backlog folder
|
|
which will take some going through. Luckily I use MH, so I'll
|
|
probably develop a script to process most of the routine stuff.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Speaking of "routine" Mike Orr, and Heather have taken steps to
|
|
reduce the number of "routine" questions we get here in Linux
|
|
Gazette. They've created an <a href="../faq/index.html">FAQ</a> and
|
|
an <a href="../tag/kb.html">index to all of my previous</a>
|
|
"Answer Guy" questions. I haven't seen it yet --- but
|
|
hopefully we can convince people to use it.
|
|
There are about 900 questions that I've answered listed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>That, and the fact that the WebGlimpse engine at Linux Gazette
|
|
(http://www.linuxgazette.com) seems to be working at last, might
|
|
help people answer alot of their own questions (which is the whole
|
|
reason I put so much time into TAG anyway).</p>
