Portfolio

Portfolio is Stanford's CIS.  It's been around for a while in

	    The really interesting thing about this isn't that there are a bunch of neat  
	    facts available online, it's that they are starting to use the system for  
	    running the University: they can track PO's, order books, and submit travel  
	    requests through it, albeit in a slightly kludgey manner.

WebChess (The Chess Server) - 2-player chess over the Web

for all you bug folks out there... Announcing WebChess (The Chess Server), a multi-game, 2-player chess server forthe World Wide Web. WebChess allows 2 individuals, from anywhere in the world, to play chess in realtime across the Web. WebChess currently allows 5 such games to be played simultaneously, for a (voluntarily imposed) maximum of 10 players at any given time. Or, surfers can watch games already in progress (no limit to how many "watchers" can use the system). Compatable with graphical and non-graphical (Lynx) browsers. This is less of an "app" and more of an experiment in token passing, but it really does work, and is yet another way to pass the time on the Web. To connect to WebChess, jump to: The Chess Server, and be sure to read the instructions link on that page before proceeding. Comments or questions can be addressed to me.

read-comics version 1.0 - WWW gateway to the ClariNet newspaper

I've updated read-comics to read not only the Dilbert comics (the only comic strip available through ClariNet when the script was first released) but also the other two comics strips available on the ClariNet electronic newspaper: Bizarro, a strip by Dan Piraro, and Views of the World, a select editorial cartoon from an international newspaper. read-comics is a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) script for CGI-compliant HTTP servers (e.g., NCSA httpd). read-comics generates a hypertext interface to the ClariNet electronic newspaper's cartoon newsgroups. It does this by querying the NNTP server for a list of active articles in the newsgroup and then generates from this, a list of hyperlinks. When a link is selected, the article is retrieved from the NNTP server and then (base64) decoded on-the-fly. http://www-server.domain/cgi-bin/read-comics retrieves a menu of options http://www-server.domain/cgi-bin/read-comics/dilbert http://www-server.domain/cgi-bin/read-comics/bizarro http://www-server.domain/cgi-bin/read-comics/worldviews retrieves a list of available cartoons http://www-server.domain/cgi-bin/read-comics/dilbert?today http://www-server.domain/cgi-bin/read-comics/bizarro?today http://www-server.domain/cgi-bin/read-comics/worldviews?today retrieves the most current comic strip The URL syntax from the Dilbert-only releases still works as well. If the connecting host is outside of your specified domain, access to the ClariNet comics is not allowed. But if they request "today's Dilbert", they are redirected (transparently) to the free GNN-sponsored Dilbert comic strip. Try out this version of read-comics at http://www.eecs.nwu.edu/cgi-bin/read-comics and obtain the source from either of http://www.eecs.nwu.edu/~jmyers/cgi-src/read-comics ftp://eecs.nwu.edu/pub/jmyers/cgi-src/read-comics Thanks to all the people who offered suggestions and/or code to expand read-comics! - -Jennifer ------- End of Forwarded Message

The Society for Electronic Access (SEA) is pleased to announce our homepage: http://www.panix.com/sea The purpose of SEA is to help make our corner of the digital world a civilized place to live, work and visit. We believe that the world of computers and the communications links that bind their users together (cyberspace) should be open to everyone. Furthermore, if this new medium is to have a chance of fulfilling its great potential, the same civil rights that protect our freedom in the physical world must prevail in cyberspace. Therefore SEA will work to educate people about computer networks and how to use them to find information and to communicate with one another. We will also reach out to foster better understanding of cyberspace and to ensure that individual rights are fully respected in this new medium, as befits a democratic society. Finally, we will do our best to bring into cyberspace those who might not otherwise have the opportunity or awareness to make use of it, in the belief that doing so will enrich our lives as well as theirs. - -- Clay Irving clay@panix.com http://www.panix.com/clay ------- End of Forwarded Message

>MENT: Seattle Sounders Homepage

In our first year, the Sounders earned: the best league record, Rookie of the year, Coach of the year, had 9 out of 11 starters selected as APSL all-stars and two players named to the U.S. National team.

Godiva Online Web Site

for all you chocolate lovers out there... Fry Multimedia is pleased to announce Godiva Online, a Chocolate Lover's Playground. Godiva Chocolatier and Chocolatier Magazine have joined forces to provide the World Wide Web audience with the best in all that is chocolate. You'll find a rich selection of original articles from Chocolatier magazine on everything from Cocoa Clouds to Mocha Madness. Don't forget to check the Feature Presentation, which is updated regularly. Also, Godiva provides recipes for tempting drinks and desserts made with Godiva Liqueur. Chocolate is a much deeper subject than you might have realized (and darker, too...hmmm!), so we have provided a chronology of its 4000 year history, as well a glossary of chocolate terms, instructions on its preparation and baking, and some surprising facts. After you've whetted your appetite with all of that, you can place an order online for some Godiva goodies, either as a much-appreciated Christmas gift, or as an early present for yourself. As a visitor to Godiva Online, you will also be able to send letters to Godiva, request a subscription to Chocolatier, and let us know how Godiva Online can be improved. To see for yourself, point your Web browser to http://www.godiva.com/ Bon Appetit! - -- Fry Multimedia info@frymulti.com 5340 Plymouth Road, Suite 202 Phone: 313-741-0640 Ann Arbor, MI 48105 Fax: 313-741-0906 http://www.frymulti.com ------- End of Forwarded Message

>New Music Events Calendar availble via WWW and email

Automatrix is pleased to announce its new Music Events Calendar available via the World-Wide Web and electronic mail. You can list events geographically, by artist or by music category. You can also submit new events to the calendar using a WWW submission form or email. The concert calendars we found on the Internet (in fact, most calendars of any kind we came across) tended to be narrow in scope (often a single musician, venue or type of music) and contained many outdated listings. The Music Events Calendar is meant to be broad-based and contain up-to-date listings. The calendar can be updated in a distributed fashion, since we believe that for a calendar with such a broad scope (both musically and geographically) can't be kept current by just one or two people from a single location. The calendar is updated from its database nightly so new submissions appear quickly and old items are culled the day after they occur. To get things started we've seeded the database with approximately 170 upcoming events we found on the Internet. We will keep adding more events as we come across them and trust other people will as well. To try out the Music Events Calendar point your Web browser at or send email to concerts@automatrix.com with a message body of "help". If you have comments or questions about the Calendar, please send them to me (skip@automatrix.com). Thank you, - -- Skip Montanaro skip@automatrix.com (518)372-5791 Automatrix - World-Wide Computing Solutions http://www.automatrix.com/ Internet Conference Calendar: http://www.automatrix.com/conferences/ ------- End of Forwarded Message
