| [ My apologies to the folks who have multiple or incorrect
| subscriptions to LISTOWNERS-ANNOUNCE; I'll get that subscription
| list cleaned up as soon as I can. -B ]
|
|
| [ This is a public announcement -- it may be forwarded to any
| appropriate audience. -B ]
|
|
| The new search engine server is now online and can operate at the
| speed of a full T1 connection.
|
| Courtesy of hacks by Dale Schneider, you can search the USGenWeb
| Archives, now with *headlines* and *updated* to within the last 24
| hours, at:
|
| http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ussearch.htm
|
| Courtesy of hacks by Karen Isaacson, you can search the archives of
| any mailing list (except those withdrawn by the listowner), now with
| nicer *formats* and *updated* to within the last 24 hours, at:
|
| http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl
|
| I'd also like to explicitly thank the folks who provided the
| resources that have made this new facility possible:
|
| o RootsWeb's Patrons, Donors, Sponsors, and Members.
|
| o Palladium Interactive, developers of the Ultimate
| Family Tree software for genealogists.
|
| Folks interested in helping RootsWeb provide new facilities can
| become Members by using the Web form at:

|
| By the way, the next server we'll be bringing online will be a box
| dedicated to supporting Marc Nozell's HTMLized versions of the
| mailing list archives. We should have that box online within 48
| hours, though it's reasonable to expect Marc to need a little time
| after that to get his software installed. (:
|
| Projects after that include a dedicated IRC server, upgrading the
| mail hub, upgrading the main Web server, building a NT-based
| FrontPage server, bringing a "dirtylists" list server online, and
| bringing a third ordinary list server online.
|
| [ The "dirtylists" server is for the big, rarely used announcement
| lists. We've developed a number of those things with 5,000 to
| 300,000 subscribers, and every time a post drops we kick the
| daylights out of the list server with hundreds or even thousands of
| bounces. We need a specially tuned box to handle these turkeys. ]
|
| No rest for the wicked, I suppose ... Cheers, B.
