Hi everyone -
Its time for that bi-monthly reminder from me, your benevolant
list-admin, to everyone about a couple things.
First off, welcome to the 150 or so new folks that have joined us in the
past month! Take your time to get the feel for thelist, to know some of
our more 'unique' characters, and then feel free to join in..
Some things that you may not know:
Formatted messages sent to thelist won't make it through Majorgumbos
filters. The list software(majorgumbo) will filter out anything that
isn't plain text. This includes, but isn't limited to such things as
HTML formatting, RTF, vcards, multi-part messages, and attachments of
any sort. If you've sent a post to thelist and wonder why no one has
replied or you don't ever see it come through, make sure you check your
formatting! If you have questions, feel free to email me offlist(Also,
and this is for everyone, note the address I'm sending this from. The
old one won't be valid Real Soon Now) with any questions or problems you
may have.
Something that alot of people on thelist don't realize is our website is
open to contribution just like thelist is. Although the articles on
www.evolt.org are generally a bit more in depth(not always though) than
a post to thelist, the articles are still written by members of
evolt.org(e.g. you) for other members(e.g. you) to see and learn from.
Writing is not only a good way to voice your opinion, but you'll also
gain the respect of your peers, get more dates, and make more money.
Really. If thats not enough, remember the service you're providing
fellow web developers with! All of us take so much from evolt, and
giving a bit back is always A Good Thing. :)
Evolt.org's two year anniversery is coming up this month. There are lots
of cool things about this, biggest is we're going to be unveiling our
newly designed, easier to use, sexier, and gerneally much anticipated
website. Its been a long time in the planning, and we're super excited
to show it off. I'm still working on a pinata(or however the hell you
spell it :), but if anyone else has ideas for the 2.0 of evolt.org, feel
free to throw them out- either here on thelist or to me personally, and
i'll relay them to the rest of the admin group :)
I've been busy lately on the personal front moving to a new town and
finding a new job. I appreciate the patience many of you have given in
my tardiness in answering off list emails, plea's for help, etc.. I also
can't wait to become active again on thelist with my incoherant postings
and unix tips :) Hopefully things get back to normal ASAP, but in the
meantime, thanks .
Have a swell holiday season! Unless you don't believe in that sort of
stuff, then don't. ;)
