121307 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Henry responding to suggestions from Jack
121308 - Park, ref SDS 2 VU9T, and from Eugene Kim yesterday on 050110,
121309 - ref SDS 2 RN3M, to consider weblogs for a publishing medium that would
121310 - distribute Henry's civic journalism using Fleabyte.
121312 -  ..
121313 - Henry says...
121314 -
121315 -    1.  Of course, I fully understand. This is a tough world for those
121316 -        who are trying to make a decent living. The same undoubtedly
121317 -        goes for others. And I do appreciate your further clarification
121318 -        of what blog software has to offer. I should look into that.
121320 -         ..
121321 -    2.  As for staffing, I hope to eventually draw on the pool of
121322 -        retirees out there. There must be lots of experienced people
121323 -        who would like to make themselves useful. My feeling is that
121324 -        we'd do best get first something up to demonstrate what we are
121325 -        about rather than to talk what we would like to do.
121326 -
121327 -            [On 050118 Henry's plans for drawing support from senior
121328 -            retired people, aligns with opportunity for seniors to
121329 -            invest time available to retool skills. ref SDS 4 D18I
121331 -         ..
121332 -    3.  But I DO see you as a fine source of technical expertise! And I
121333 -        just recalled that you are still listed as a technical adviser.
121335 -         ..
121336 -    4.  Do you know of any blog software that gets us away from
121337 -        Windows.
121338 -
121339 -
121341 -  ..
121342 - Received ref DRT 3 0001 another letter from Henry reporting progress
121343 - investigating software for publishing Fleabyte through weblog
121344 - media....
121345 -
121346 -    1.  I just checked Eugene's recommendations: MoveableType, blosxom,
121347 -        and WordPress. They all state to be Linux compatible.  Combine
121348 -        that with purple numbers, ....
121350 -         ..
121351 -    2.  My next step is to download them and see what I got.
121353 -         ..
121354 -    3.  Thanks for the info.

130404 - Follow up ref SDS 2 U29O.
130405 -
130406 - Received ref DRT 2 0001 from Henry responding to Peter Yim's offer to
130407 - host Fleabyte, saying...
130408 -
130409 -    1.  I know and appreciate your standing invitation for hosting
130410 -        Fleabyte. ref DRT 2 0001
130412 -         ..
130413 -    2.  I believe that one reason for the magazine to climb so quickly
130414 -        on Google was the list of keywords. Another factor may well
130415 -        have been the short "First off" items. Eugene, as an old hand
130416 -        in the print magazine business, will affirm that the best read
130417 -        arts of magazines are the so-called "departments," i.e. the
130418 -        short stuff. They help serve to draw the reader further into
130419 -        the more extensive text. We have to keep bearing this lesson in
130420 -        mind. ref DRT 2 5V5K
130422 -         ..
130423 -    3.  Just want to repeat here for all that I am not trying to press
130424 -        anybody into extensive engagements. You already have given the
130425 -        Bootstrap effort much of your time and energy. What I DO hope
130426 -        for is that you all may help locating potential volunteers
130427 -        (technical, editorial management, writers, etc.).  Please,
130428 -        understand that here in Lakefield my only lifeline to the world
130429 -        runs via the Internet. The Yak forum might be another route to
130430 -        go. ref DRT 2 KV6J
130432 -         ..
130433 -    4.  This is not my first effort of this type. I tried it a few
130434 -        years back and, in fact, I got some volunteers, but some of
130435 -        them took up more of my time than their help was worth.  There
130436 -        is another one, out in Bangladesh who may still be waiting in
130437 -        the wings. ref DRT 2 KV7I
130439 -         ..
130440 -    5.  If this is to be a worldwide effort, we ought to aim for
130441 -        worldwide staffing, yet, at the same time we need to be
130442 -        reasonably familiar with those who may come on board.  Although
130443 -        one should not look a gift horse in the mouth, it still
130444 -        behooves us to be picky up to a point. ref DRT 2 6W7O

190806 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 responding to letters from Henry received
190807 - yesterday, ref SDS 2 8F8H, and from others Henry is consulting as a
190808 - circle of advocates.  Sent copies to circle of advocates (e.g., Jack
190809 - Park, ref SDS 2 W83F, Eugene Kim, ref SDS 2 RN3M, Doug Engelbart,
190810 - etc.) commending support for Fleabyte initiative on civic journalism.
190811 -
190812 -    1.  I concur with others encouraging your work that aids
190813 -        transformation to a culture of knowledge, ref DIT 1 0001, as
190814 -        set out in POIMS. ref OF 4 K84L
190816 -         ..
190817 -    2.  Besides offering a technology breakthrough with Fleabyte that
190818 -        combines weblogs with the public press, suggested by Jack, your
190819 -        writing is cogent, lucid and compelling.  Anything that
190820 -        amplifies your voice deserves support. ref DIT 1 W26H
190822 -         ..
190823 -    3.  Technology that aids intelligence to leverage the power of
190824 -        knowledge in education, government, industry, religion, health
190825 -        care, law..., requires, as well, leadership that empowers
190826 -        people to experience a new way of working in a new world order.
190827 -        Your efforts discussed today can bring knowledge and faith to a
190828 -        new generation of 30-somthings, who are just now preparing to
190829 -        write the next chapter in the advance of civilization.  This is
190830 -        a big contribution, a powerful legacy of leadership that sets
190831 -        an example for all of us to follow. ref DIT 1 P36O
190833 -         ..
190834 -    4.  Glad to see so many "old hands" joining ranks with you today.
