the Night Owl BBS

[brianmartin_2001]

Late start but Night Owl host is up for
the evening.

Was busy unpacking my ModelB from its trip away
It now has Econet.

Much fun awaits.

Early today.

BBS host is waiting for calls.

Also added a Guest login for those who just want
a browse to see what it is like. Hopefully this might help
reduce the bot numbers.

Sorry I didn't open the Host yesterday evening.
I was playing with my new two station Econet.
Pi Bridge link to my two machines is working well
(I think) although I've got lots to read up on.

I didn't get a single call the previous three days so
I figured traffic would be zero again like it has been ..
Must be the bright nights arriving.

Hopefully some calls this evening .. Night Owl BBS may end
up a weekend only thing if the lack of traffic continues.

cheers !

Night Owl Host now up for the evening ..

One caller last night (thanks Neil), and someone (a bot?) who
tried to log on as anything (ABC DEF). There is a Guest account
for that now . Absolutely everyone is welcome to log in and browse
around just don't want a headache with lots of frivolous accounts
to delete ( the host software can't actually delete them completely ,
it just deactivates them so I just have to reuse them
with editing when I can).

3 New ART frames added to the Gallery ( last few frames).
70's, 80's album covers

cheers

That was me trying to log in via the web interface that someone had set up. It just doesn't seem to get further than the login screen, so I gave up.

Hi David ,

Unfortunately I forced you off as you were trying to get
on with an impromptu user and password.
I have lots of fake unused accounts I can't get rid of.
I tried to inform you to use the guest account
by typing in on the login screen , maybe you didn't see
the message

Both web links work fine.

You are more than welcome to return
and browse.

Just login with a sensible name or handle
and password. Thanks.

I ll be logging up the host quite soon.

Cheers
Brian

Someone is trying to access (3 times now, Leeds area) the board and seems to be having some issues getting on.

Please drop me a line on here or PM if you need any help.

Night Owl Host is on an early start today .

Pop in and say hello..
cheers

update - I think someone was having trouble again getting
input at the Login screen. I think they were using the
Vd-view web link to the Board.

This link doesn't appear to be working at all just now.
I can't even bring it up on my browser.

Use the js-nightowl link for now, thanks.

I have contacted Simon L about the fault,

[brianmartin_2001]

Night Owl Host is live now .

No update on vd-view as yet . I suspect Simon is on holiday or something
and it has fallen over. Js-nightowl is the web link to use for now.
Lucky to have two of these.

cheers
Brian
