- My Comments about this Hunt
- ---------------------------
- 1.There were some tricky moments for me in this Hunt. I set
- myself up for some tough questions that I'm still tracking
- down. If anyone can provide more illumination on why Giovanni
- De Poli's appears to have 5 email addresses, or the Toyota
- question, fire me off a message and I'll summarize.
-
- 2.It's becoming more difficult to grade certain types of
- responses. Some players used a local Turbo gopher client to
- connect to their home gopher server. This made it tough to
- retrace as I don't know where their home gopher is. While I
- could manage it (because I know the answers!), it may be
- difficult for others to follow their searches.
-
- What I'm thinking of doing next month is asking players to
- double check that they are including the hostname and port for
- their home gopher server so that others can follow in their
- footsteps.
-
- 3. Since I've included all the answers for both classes of
- winners, and I really want to include other good answers, the
- size of this document is getting out of hand. What I think
- I'll do from now on, is just pick out a few answers for each
- question that are good, or clever, or illuminate some little
- known method for wrestling with the dreaded Net-Beast! :-)
-
- Very Inventive Veronica
- -----------------------
- Veronica now has boolean searching capabilities. Precedence is
- left-to-right, with no nesting operators. It is
- case-independent. When you access Veronica read the About file
- for explanations.
-
- When I tried it, a search on
-
- christmas
-
- ...yielded 90 entries, and a search on
-
- christmas and tree
-
- ...yielded 33 entries, and they looked right.
-
- Thanks to D.G. Gilbert, and the folks at U.N. Reno for the
- extra functionality.
-
- Another Home for the Hunt
- -------------------------
- Many thanks to the folks at CICNet as they have provided me
- with a Gopher for Hunt distribution. Now, rather than having
- to wait for mail and usnet messages to percolate to them,
- players can grab the Hunt questions mere seconds after I make
- them available.
-
- The CICNet gopher is available on that long list of US
- gophers. If you prefer to point your users directly to it (my
- preference, certainly), here are the details:
-
- Name=The Internet Hunt
- Type=1
- Port=70
- Path=1/hunt
- Host=gopher.cic.net
-
- Note: It looks like the Hunt is not accessible via Veronica yet.
-
- So now, without further delay, here are:

- Other Answers

- The strict answer is no (no IP connection). The users answer is: yes,
- you can send mail to them. I found no references in the usual databases
- (nic.ddn.mil etc) but there is a domain called toyota.co.jp belonging to
- the Toyota Motor Corporation. It can be found by telnetting to
- nnsc.nsf.net (Q10), logging in as wais and selecting the uumap.src
- database. Then you can search for toyota.
- (Short answer: use the wais source uumap.src to search for toyota ;-)
