I want to know why I can never get into the "inner" conference. "Internal Server Error" always comes up on my screen. I don't know much about computers, so what's up, Terry?

It's time to put out that plea again. I have shelled out about $800 plus
this month and I'm still lacking funds to pay for the domain name
austen.com and some others, send your contributions to:
The Spring
Rt 2 Box 56r
Cedar Creek, TX 78612
Make checks payable to The Spring.
Any help you can send this way will be *very* appreciated and the first
$70 received will go to rescue our austen.com domain name.

I want to talk about our failure to make the Golden Pebble awards for
austin's best websites.
first, here are the winners, which we were not among
(hangs head in shame)
http://www.Astrofish.net -- The people have spoken and made this redneck
fisherman-astrological site numero uno and the winner of the "People's
Choice Pebble." Of course, my psychic abilities should have been able to
predict this outcome when I saw a bolded statement on the site directing
Astrofish surfers to e-mail me and let me know Astrofish.com is the best.
Astrofish, I look into my crystal ball and see a Golden Pebble coming your
way.
http://www.Internetv.com -- The "Funky Golden Pebble" goes to Rob
Campanell and
his new Internet production "Chemical Generation." In this "Real
World"-type drama, DJ Deepfrog chronicles his quest to bring his
hip-a-delic sound (Deepfrog Acid) to the world. It's waggle-your-hips
funky, with a "You've Got Mail!" love twist. Here's your Pebble, DJ
Deepfrog; why don't you take it for a spin?
http://www.FixExpress.com and www.Sulekha.com -- The "Best Site Duet
Pebble" goes
to Sangeeta Kshettry and Satya Prabhakar. FixExpress.com is a yummy,
one-stop info, trivia and humor site that boasts visitors from more than
100 countries. Sulekha.com is an excellent zine and literary community
boasting some excellent writing by inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent.
http://www.MikeJasper.com -- The "Angry Pebble" goes to Mike Jasper and
his
low-tech essay site. His spite, vengeance and cynicism made me laugh a lot
over the past year. Besides, he's the only one who took me out for a
burger after he appeared in my column. Congrats, Mike; next time, let's go
to the Four Seasons.
http://www.EthePeople.com -- When Austinite Alex Sheshunoff started a site
at
which you can contact local political officials via the Internet, it was
bound to make this list. On his site, you can e-mail politicos and gripe
about everything from impeachment to potholes. Alex, enjoy your "Power to
the People Pebble."
http://www.Unmall.com -- The "Buy This Pebble" goes to Unmall.com. It's
about
time someone linked Austin's great merchants and displayed them for the
world to peruse and enjoy. It's one long, 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week
Armadillo Christmas Bazaar.
Honorable mentions:
http://www.Dumbest.com -- Margaret Moser and Bill Crawford have put up a
site
devoted to their book "Rock Stars Do the Dumbest Things." If you're too
cheap to buy the book, this site will give you some good insight into rock
stars and the dumb things they do.
http://members.tripod.com/~poopunk/ -- An excellent e-zine by Ben Aqua. If
you've
forgotten what teen angst is all about, this site will remind you.
http://www.chrissy.com/store.html -- Kitsch shopping to the tune of Muzak
versions of "Here Comes the Sun" and "Downtown," this site boasts the best
place in town for Ladyhead vases (don't worry, I didn't know what they
were, either).
Send questions, comments, ideas, products, graft and fan mail to Gregory
Kallenberg at
gkallenberg@statesman.com or write him at P.O. Box 670,
Austin 78767.
Look at these websites and tell me why we didn't stack up and what we need
to do to make next years Golden Pebbles. We're just not insanely great
enough yet.
And if you feel we were left off and should have made the list, email
Gregory Kallenberg and tell him he screwed up, big time, by not listing
the Spring.
Just in case you missed his email address:

Have you looked at the golden pebble sites?
What are we doing that we're not doing? How can we get more folks here?
How can we improve our site?
Better navigation?
More features?
Is the webcam a total bust? Does anyone watch it? We stopped playing
videotapes all the time and we're half live and half taped now. And we
have live feeds coming from both houses.
What's it going to take?

I'd like to talk to Roan today in the farm conference about his incredible
conspiracy theory regarding the Farm. I usually find it hard to believe
paranoid conspiracy theories, but Roan provides some pretty convincing
statements about some actual experiences he had. I'd be interested in what
other folks think of his very "out there" thesis on how the Farm was
underminded by "black ops".

"We should abolish January and February. If we then divided the 59 extra
days between July and August, we will cut out energy needs by about one-
third through eliminating the coldest days of the year. Cold is largely
a psychological matter. If people look at the calendar and see that it is
July, they will be quite happy to turn the heat down."

I want to talk about what a dweeb I am..
cuz I was having problems with my browser mail, so I changed the mail server to www.spring.net so I could send out some mail from there
And how all my www.spring.net mail (that I usually access through Telnet (pine) jumped over onto my browser mail. And how I deleted it all because I didn't want it in both places and then how when I logged in and went to pin I had NO MAIL in my account (cuz it all was in my browser mail (that I deleted))...
Then I want to hang my head in shame and ask "how in the hell do I put it all back???" (It's still in my browsers trash folder...)

Response 70 of 510: Ray Lopez (ratthing) * Fri, Apr 16, 1999 (16:41) * 20 lines
what happened, stacey, is that when your browser email client went to
talk to www.spring.net, it talked with both the POP server and SMTP
server. it was the POP server who grabbed your mail off the server and
fed it to your browser, then deleted it off the server.
the only way to get it back to the www.spring.net server is to email it back
to www.spring.net. you should be able to do that from the deleted items
folder.
in your browser email package, there should be an option somewhere called
"leave mail on server" or something like that. if you check this option,
then the email your browser reads off the server will not be deleted, and
will be there for you if you ever telnet in and use pine.
also, unless you are connected directly to the Spring, you cannot use
your browser's email client to send email. the SMTP server on www.spring.net
does not accept mail from domains other than spring.net.

this post of yours, Ray, also explains problems I've been having
i can now meet people
i have no anxiety about it --- it happens with irresistible mystery and charm
rheumatoid arthritis left my body
i'm 28 again, feel fit as a fiddle, feel oompah and voila and viola as a violin
when i fart, the blap is music to everyone's ears (as well as being a tremendous relief for me)
my entire mind is at perfect ease and likes to fiddle faddle with my heart and make it crack up and be in stitches until it howls and spins on its butt
i'll walk around the yard and even the people of Scotland can feel my footsteps with uncanny sensitivity and bursting love
children's voices light my way in the dark and i can run my fingers over where those concealed corners are in the entrance hall of her emotions (i'm talkin' of this new friend who lives so much human content, the trace of a desire is right now licking the outside of that blue cadillac she likes to drive off the 12th floor of Hotel Vertigo and land sweet and soft with exuberant acceleration in the driveway of wide-open romance)
i have so much clarity now, i can link instincts with the center of the collective unconscious and purr deeply original forces that bunch up in simple pure soul release
my ego has hung it up, exited, it's gone --- it made a filthy corpse, the soil is littered with its severed flesh, its sexual insecurities, its sweaty bank statements

it only feels good in being a writing (it was just fun to write, to do that)
it's so obviously surreal
i can feel totally depressed otherwise while writing something like that
depressed isn't the write word, but the word would be something kinda negative
but that particular time i actually was otherwise happening to be feeling basically ok
but it didn't have anything to do with *what* i was writing
that's just something about me
and it's probably what any of you might've been figuring was the case with me?
that what's said in the writing and what I'm actually feeling otherwise in my life are 2 different things, or can be?
explanations do help sometimes.....was this not helpful, though?
am i sounding like i'm misinterpreting or taking things too seriously or being dense or do i seem, say, uh, pretty distrustful as far as being sincere or having much interpersonal integrity, stuff like that?
i wonder about myself....i worry about myself
a mess.....ok ok

with me and writing, i go for the impulse
the impulse could be meaning to do anything with me
it usually heads for humor and free associating and certain strong real touches of human truth mixed into that
i don't know what it's about except right as it's coming out of me
it's not very directed
there's a different kind of control going on
not so much conscious, but some.....there's some conscious direction
but it's a real blend of conscious and submodalities of consciousness
i do notice there is some belittling going on in my writing
not in Response 76 (this topic), though
i can see that my humor can miscommunicate
it's working with stranger than usual variables (image-wise) --- that's a handful
but there is a certain amount of lack of integrity going on at odd moments
i'm putting some energy into growing, growth, development, as a person, i guess
by taking a closer look at how that insincerity aspect actually feels to me as
i look it over and look it over and look it over and see it and see it
i experiment with words, it's highly experimental
it's very weird being in the center of it
sorta has a mind of its own
but i can listen in better, by touching closer in on the spirit of it
the orientation it seems to be coming from
it's actually possible to hear clearly
and it's possible to just not to hear
i'm seeing if i can hear better
it's real work
i sometimes worry about losing the impulse when i listen in to the sincerity of it, but i'm wondering that it may be not such a worry, that the impulse doesn't
necessarily fall down from being listened in to its sincerity, its voice, its orientation, spirit, etc.
it's funny (or absurd?) to consider that there can be an amazing amount of mischievousness going on at the heart of sincerity, integrity
it has to do with the pulse of change
which is giving life its life, or living the life in life.
anyone know? this make a little sense?

submodalities is a *great* word, stacey! :)
i like your idea that impulse doesn't necessarily fall down from being subjected to some kind of critique - of being "listened to" as you put it. i'm not sure if i completely agree with the idea, at least on a personal level (for me, that is), but it's an teresting idea. i have always found that the best impulse is, to use the Spring analogy, just typed out and then sent, with no re-reading. however, as we haev all seen, too much impulse can be a negative thing as well as positive.

And has that been a good meeting! Great cappucino, too! There were us three publishers (two double as editors, one as direct distribution/subscription branch), the ad sales branch, four authors (a new one, too - looking forward to see how that works out, but he has some great ideas and interesting connections; hope his writing is up to it, too...) and a layouter/writer.
Lots of feedback on #12, I gave an overview on planned stuff for #13, fixed dates, extended personal deadlines (for contributions, not contributors, mind you) and deal out serious CDs! Guess more'n 50 out for reviews... Some great stuff, too, Also some lame... As usual.
I felt really great when I got back. They care! They contribute! We're all happy bunnies!

Mostly the blues. Rock (the older stuff) finds it's way in, too. We do a lot of SRV and Eric Clapton, quite a lot of Motown stuff...right now, we're "re-organizing". (I like that word!;) ) The lead guitarist and lead singer were married, and, recently divorced, (typical story, hmm?) so, we're shuffling around for another lead guitarist. It will come together, but, it just takes time to get the right chemistry.

Yes, but there's more to being than mere thinking. How about feeling, guessing, imagining, the whole nonintellectual apparatus? Works ok for me, way better than ratio-only, hardcore thinking approaches ever did.
Bear with me. Just because I'm not so hot on intellectualism and indifferent brainism doesn't mean I've got no game going. Maybe I work with a different technique, but nevertheless I try, and try as good as any other.

Ignorance is bliss. Knowledge is competitive and segregates again in haves and have-nots. Makes people feel alienated from each other, even offended.
Few people are offended by ignorance.
(Mind you, my dears, we're not talking stupidity. That's a different topic, along with narrow-mindedness and prejudices and smart-assing and holier-than-thouing. File ignornace beside amateurism - who still love what they do -, and dilettantism, where everything is just play and fun. Maybe the three capital virtues - ignorance, amateurism, dilettantism.)

I truly believe ignorance (especially intended) is a liability in most cases.

Stacey, such stupidity is truly an awful thing. But I mean something different by ignorance, and again, it it a language and cultural barrier, limiting my means to express my feelings.

So, Stace, does my ignorance truly offend you? Or is it just that you are afraid that you would have to fit me into the categories where you got those people you think "ignorant" filed?
Both would be sad, because unnecessary ("No need to kick a man who's down."), plus we got along great until I mentioned this absurd idea of mine, but it would be fun, though, or rather: fascinating to see how me being like this - trying not to get people blow up at me, and be really cooperative and accessible - would achieve opposite effects.

first of all I don't believe you're truly ignorant.
I believe you are probably more informed than most and therefore would like to plead and/or be ignorant because the alternative is too complicated.
You do not offend me.
Truly ignorant people (who have no desire to improve on that situation and who in their ignorance misjudge things/people/ideas (yadda yadda yadda)) offend me frequently.
Certainly not by their mere existence but in their apathy.
The disintegration of society's as the world pnce knew them has a lot to do with this apathy IMHO. People would rather not know than know and feel compelled to at a minimum care if not contribute to a solution...
BTW, please never misconstrue my getting all heated about a topic/idea/subject as something angry or personal against the speaker "poster"... when I am truly pissed all shall know!!!

Under the "why can't we just get along" topic (which was too hard to find so I put this here):
German Tourists More Popular Than Some
May Think
BERLIN (Reuters) - Britons fond of mocking German vacationers for using
towels to reserve poolside lounge chairs at holiday resorts may be in for a
surprise.
German tourists are more popular abroad than the traditional image suggests,
a survey in the mass-selling Bild newspaper showed on Tuesday, particularly
in Austria where 71 percent of locals said they found German tourists ``very
agreeable'' or at least ``pretty agreeable''.
Of the French respondents, 55 percent liked the Germans, while 54 percent
of the Italians in the survey welcomed tourists from Germany, although 12
percent complained that they were arrogant.
German tourists were least popular in Spain, a holiday destination for 14
million Germans each year, where 26 percent said they didn't like the
Germans.
However, in the tourist haven of southern Spain where German
sunbed-grabbing antics are said to be at their worst 70 percent of
respondents said they found the Germans agreeable.

Sure they do! Multiply 14 millions with, say, one thousand Marks, and you get a lot of smiling faces in Spain!
When we have a bad recession here, it means for most people taking only two vacations a year instead of three. Like, "we won't have money for new ski-gear all around, so let's skip St. Moritz this year..." Huh, wish I'd be so well off! I'm with the some people who say "what recession? Doesn't look worse to me than usual..., with all dem black clouds and unpaid bills."

My mother died today. My sister called about 10 am with the news.
We were expecting it but I had hoped to visit her in two weeks. My
last conversation with her was one of the best I have had in years, I
didn't think it was going to be my last. She passed away
peacefully. So I've been thinking back through the years today and
remembering how her life was with it's ups and downs, her car
accident, the wonderful years as kids at Chautauqua, the times in
Houston when she moved to her apartment and the last years in
Walnut Creek California where she stayed with my sister. Alice had
been a real savior to mom over the last years, providing her with a
home and comfort. She called my Uncle Harold and Aunt Ann today, and
cousing Muriel and Aunt Jean in LA. Alice was in tears when she
called this morning, it had only happened about 15 minutes before she
called. It's a real different feeling, not having mom around any more.

Terry, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. When my grandmother died, I knew that I had seen her and been able to talk to her on one of her last lucid days, and that has always been a comfort. I'm glad you and your mom had been able to have a good talk before the end. My thoughts are with you and your entire family.

*Hugs* Terry. Moms are very special people and I know you had a really good one because you turned out so splendidly. Everything you do and say reflects positively on her memory - I am sorry I did not meet her to thank her for you.
My thoughts will be with you...as they are quite often anyway. Take care!

From John Burnett
Terry, I am sorry about your mother's passing. Being prepared makes
arrangements easier but you can't do your grieving in advance. I lost my
dad in 1993 and not a day goes by that I still don't think about him. You
are in my prayers. May God bless you. John

It's great that you two had a good relation with each other, Terry, and that she left without pain. Those are values one can't estimate too little.
I wish you and your folks all the best. Comfort and take care of each other. Thinking of you,
A.

Thanks Stacey, I've got a pile of cards on my dresser from the nice folks at Spring who sent condolences, I do have many nice thoughts of my mom, like the times she chased me around the tree at the park and many good memories, especially of the summers at Chautauqua.
