+OLD CS1 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I am proud to announce I have been accepted as an adjunct instructor with the University of Arkansas's Criminal Justice Institute in the Cybersecurity Defense Initiative. I will be traveling around the country giving four-day courses on cybersecurity, offensive and defensive. The final paperwork is being processed now, and I do not know when I will officially start. My first four classes are observation up to full instruction before I take on more classes. I cannot express how important this is for me as a culmination and beginning of the next stage of fulfilling my 25 years industry experience and training as an information technology and security professional, and degree as a computer criminologist. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, some formatting or style setting is affecting the spellcheck routine. If I copy the plain text into a new Word doc, the editor finds the mistakes. Alas, I forgot just how obnoxious Microsoft has made a once-simple task; instead of a fixed location, the Editor's spell check window happily moves around the screen to each misspelled word. After accepting 50 or so TI-specific terms, my eyes have had enough. The Editor can check itself out permanently and I'll leave the rest of my questionable words as-is. /rant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbox Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Hello. This is to advise the community that my web host is withdrawing their service from the end of October 2023. If there is anything on my website you need to stash, now is the time to do it. I am entirely happy for anyone to copy any content to their own web site that they may wish. If there is anyone on here who can post to the data/media side of archive.org, please do feel free to parcel up my web site and add it to archive.org in any way they see fit - the archive.org requirements for adding content are above my head. Suitable "collections" to add to would seem to be: Texas Instruments TI 99/4a Books Vintage BASIC Games: TI-99/4A Folkscanomy Computer: Books on Computers and Programming Computer Magazines I will make every effort to ensure that all the pages and content of my website are backed up on web.archive.org by mid October- alas the web archive is not searchable- to see the archived pages just add "https://web.archive.org/web/202309/" before the original URL, that is instead of: http://shawweb.myzen.co.uk/stephen/TI.htm you would need to type in : https://web.archive.org/web/202309/http://shawweb.myzen.co.uk/stephen/TI.htm. If you have any bookmarks to any part of my site please adjust the URL to now include the web.archive.org prefix as above. Make sure the date in the url you type is 2309 to ensure you see the latest version. The page returned will indicate in its url the date the page was actually grabbed. The main parts of the website are: http://shawweb.myzen.co.uk/stephen/TI.htm - the main TI entrance page. http://shawweb.myzen.co.uk/stephen/stainless1.htm - a big section listing the programs offered by Stainless with screengrabs and the magazine reviews. http://shawweb.myzen.co.uk/stephen/articles.htm - lots of articles and extra sources. Scans of the user group magazines are already to be found on the wht website. http://shawweb.myzen.co.uk/stephen/book.htm- the book what I wrote. (safely on pixelpedant but without the correcton sheet) http://shawweb.myzen.co.uk/stephen/pc99dsk.htm - disks for pc99 and v9t9 emulators (the UK disk library is safely stashed in wht already) Feel free to explore the rest of the website- there is a wide range of unique material including radio history, music, and some real oddities. Note: I cannot read nor reply to DMs via this forum- my computers and browsers are too old and as a pensioner I really can't be replacing everything every year. Any web host that does not support FTP is out of my league. with best wishes Blackbox 1 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Would it be possible to move the site to one of the hosted community sites like was done with Fred Kaal's site?

+OLD CS1 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Oh, and those "debris" you guys are finding of an F-35... that is simple misdirection. I ordered that stuff on Alibaba a few weeks ago, and you will see them stamped with "Made in China." Amazing what you can buy on-line these days. I am already looking for "accessories." This is a stock photo. I would post my own, but for some reason the ultra-sonic focus driver on my camera does not produce a clear shot of the plane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
