-
- TMG MOVES TO FULL-TIME NPTN
-
- On October 28th, I tendered my resignation from Case Western
- Reserve University, effective November 13th. On November 16th
- I'll start work as the full-time president of NPTN in our new
- offices.
-
- To put it in a nutshell, folks, I had to make a choice. Either
- enjoy the luxury of a consistent paycheck from now until retire-
- ment--and kill NPTN; or follow the dream and take my chances. I
- chose the latter. (What's life without some risks, huh?)
-
- So, as of November 16th we're "out there." (And I gotta tell
- you... fund-raising takes on a whole new dimention when your
- mortgage depends on it.)
-
- Yes, it's a risky move; but if I didn't think it would work; if
- I didn't think we were going to make it; I wouldn't have done it.
- If we all hang-in there and keep on working, the pieces WILL fall
- into place. We are so very close.
-
-
- NPTN MOVES TO NEW OFFICES
-
- Along with this job change, NPTN will be moving its physical
- location from CWRU to NPTN TOWERS our new high-rise, techno-
- industrial complex in Moreland Hills, Ohio. (Actually, we've got
- some windowless space in the basement of an office building--but,
- what the heck, you can't tell that on a computer, right?)
-
- NPTN TOWERS will be located in Moreland Hills, Ohio (an eastern
- suburb of Cleveland) where our new physical address will be:
-
- National Public Telecomputing Network
- 34555 Chagrin Blvd.
- Moreland Hills, Ohio 44022
-
- (If you're in the area, it's at the corner of Chagrin and SOM
- Center road.)
-
- The telephone numbers are not known yet, as we don't have the
- phones installed. The old mailing address (Box 1987, Cleveland,
- Ohio 44106) will remain valid, at least for the moment.
-
- Once the dust settles, my primary e.mail address will be
- shifting to: tmg@nptn.org. aa001@cleveland.freenet.edu will still
- be good, however, but I will be automatically forwarding all mail
- from that account to nptn.org
-
- As soon as we get the new phone numbers, etc. I'll get them out
- to you.
-
-
- LISTSERV ON HOLD
-
- The plans for the listserv that I mentioned in my last "All
- Hands" message are on hold for the time being. It seems that our
- little Sun IPC may not be able to handle the volume of traffic
- that we are anticipating. Rather than start something and then
- have to break it off, we've decided to hold until the technical
- problems can be solved.
-
-
- AND SPEAKING OF THE SUN...
-
- The Sun computer (nptn.org) is now physically located at the
- NPTN Techno-Industrial Complex. However, this Friday from 7:15 to
- about midnight the power company will be doing some work on the
- lines and it will be down during that period.
-
-
- That's all for now, but stay tuned... this will be a very fast
- moving period for NPTN.
