I hatch the nasa astronomy picture of the day daily.

There could be other images also hatched by others from time to time.

Howdy,

Yes, files are hatched daily.

You can see the frequency of files from clrghouz's web interface: https://clrghouz.bbs.dege.au/domain/view/2

(If you have login details, you'll see the list of files after clicking on the file area.)

For Networks/fsxnet, shouldn't that be "prescriptive", not

I've received two files now. Think I missed configuring new area in my tic configuration on synchronet.

But the file for 1124 only had *.txt file not the picture :-(

But I did recevie 1123 with txt and pic file. So I think I have it working.

Look forward to the images. Just setup sixel gallery on my bbs.

Thanks.

Wow. What an interface. I've seen clrghouz used in the various echoes; but the web interface is awesome.

Had some issues looking from mobile phone but could get general idea.

Will check it out on home computer when I can.

I think I had not configured everything on my side. I've now received two zip files.

determined 1124 had a mp4 file not image; hence why sixel gallery didn't see it.

so received file in good condition; just didn't realize some had mp4 files in the archive file.

Hey Ogg, Yes, it probably should.

It was a cut and paste from the info pack, so I think it might be wrong in there.

Yeah, phone is probably a bit too small - but tablet should be OK/better...

The 1124 file contaianed an .mp4 video instead of the usual .jpg. Could that be the problem?

The files are usually .jpg but on odd occations might be .gif, .png, or .mp4.

But I did recevie 1123 with txt and pic file. So I think I have it working.

Good stuff.

Now that I'm receiving fsx_imge . Is there a a way to request
previous files? I'm running synchronet.

I tried filefix but there is not a rescan option...

Thanks for your assistance.

Well, you have to "subscribe" to others if you want them, using Filefix.

My own filefix here (BBBS) does not support that but HTick does.

If I remeber right 21:1/100 is running HTick.

I tried filefix but there is not a rescan option...

Try sending a command like ...

resend fsx_img apod1125.zip

Check the help message from filefix and see what it says.

There is no rescan option, but you can resend files one at a time with a command similar to above.

Check with Filefix and be sure you are connected to the areas you want connected.

Filefix is similar to Areafix, but for file areas.

--- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-7
* Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (21:4/106)

resend fsx_img apod1125.zip

Correction, the command is..

%resend fsx_img apod1125.zip

The command is "%resend filearea filename" (if I'm not mistaken).

--- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-7
* Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (21:4/106)

%resend fsx_img apod1125.zip

The command is "%resend filearea filename" (if I'm not mistaken).

One last correction. :)

%resend apod1125.zip fsx_imge

The command is %resend filename filearea.

I just sent the above in a net mail to Filefix at 21:1/100 and the file was sent back to me along with a tic.

Filefix resend generally doesnt exist (as far as I am aware anyway), but I have partially implemented it in Hub 3.

If you register on Hub 3, I'll set it up so you can get the hub to resend you files.

Head over to https://clrghouz.bbs.dege.au and register and give me a couple of days to implement this. You can be my guinea pig :)

Ahh, I forgot hpt/htick has resend. That's an option as well I guess - but you'll need to know the name of the file you want - which might be in a new files list?

I decided to just pull them from another BBS that had them in a file area.
So now I have a month or more, and will just get the new ones!

Thanks for all the help (Deon/Al).

Look forward to sharing these awesome picks on my BBS.

Allfix has a resend option as well but it may work differently, I'm not sure.

Yes, that's the tricky part. You have to know the filenames you want. You need an allfiles.txt from the system you are connected with.

There are quite a few cool files in the fsx_door area, and others as well.

Thanks for letting me know. Sounds like reverse proxy was down.

I'll check it out.

Look forward to your visit. But the sixel stuff is when you connect with
a terminal program that supports it, if that is what your looking for.

I would recommend syncterm.

But if you just want to see the web front end; I'll get it working shortly.

I have a few more mins before end of my work day.

The BBS I use, Capitol City Online, has several BBS Networks forums on it.
FSX, iLink, Dove, FIDO.
So I'm not needing another BBS to read posts on.
I was thinking of signing in as Guest (if a Log On was required to see Forums, Files etc. on that BBS).
