HI, I got this from google today, it says
Protecting your privacy hasn’t changedbut then later... (in smaller letters
at the bottom)
Notice of change *March 1, 2012* is when the new Privacy Policy and Google
Terms of Service will come into effect...
So the privacy policy has changed. Anyone know
a) if this is to the point of being MISleading
b) what the changes are and what they mean - I don't know much about what
they were before, but am assuming, as they are being coy, its something bad.
Best
Anna
ps: paula I posted to you at fossbox cause I wasn't sure if the google
woman is on the flossie list.

More on Gopher
Sorry to keep mentioning this - but I still reckon it could be a handy service.
If you want to have a bit of a look around Gopherspace - then you can use the Gopher/http proxy at http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/
There is a handy list of sites to browse at http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw?gopher://gopher.quux.org:70/1/Software…
As you will see, it is mostly a way to navigate directory structures. It was developed as a friendly alternative to FTP, with the added benefit of indexed searches. In the very early days of the web it was actually easier to find information via a "Veronica" searches across gopherspace than by using the crappy web search services of the day.
It could still be a handy way to store, index and distribute free software.

Not sure if I've already mentioned this - but what about running a Gopher server on the community machine?

I still have fond memories of using gopher 20 years ago ;-)

We have hardware! I went to Arcspace this afternoon, and Sheridan agreed to
provide a server for us next week, and a powerful one too.
Pros:
- Free
- Powerful (we can host more services)
- Standard components / hardware (expandable)
- Available next week
Cons:
- High power consumption (bigger environmental impact)
- Not certain if it is donated or on loan
All in all I think this is very good news, looking forward to your views this
evening!
Sam.

I think the next step with regards to this is to think of a name for the
actualy project. I am really keen on this mailpod thing, I think its cool
and modern sounding - I would be really happy with the name of the
operation being "manchester mail pod"
- anyone have thoughts
Also, anyone want to do for a drink etc after the meeting?
Best
Anna

Gah - another advertising 'bug' to add to the list.
