Augusto, Recently, within the FMOODS steering committee, we discussed the possibility to "buy" Internet domain names for the conference (see below). What is TC6's (or IFIP's) position about this? What can I say to the FMOODS 2002 organizers?

TC6 report for the IFIP GA (correction)
by Augusto Casaca 09 Aug '01

09 Aug '01

Dear TC6 members, The previous version of the TC6 report for the IFIP GA did not contain the final version of the Student Travel Program in the Annex C of the report. Now, this is updated and I attach the new version of the report to this mail. Please notice that the only difference in relation to the previous version is in Annex C. Best regards Augusto Casaca

Dear Guy (and others), > >Recently, within the FMOODS steering committee, we discussed the >possibility to "buy" Internet domain names for the conference (see below). > >What is TC6's (or IFIP's) position about this? > a. I believe that neither IFIP nor TC6 has a position about this for the moment being. b. The mentioned cost of USD 35 per year is not prohibitivily high; very probably it is in the 0,xxx percent range of the global budget (maybe even in the 0,0xx percent range). c. The idea of buying a domain name is a cheap and rather efficient means (to my opinion) for visibility and corporate identity. I support it. d. We might even impose that the buying fee appears as a fixed cost position in the conference budget. Best regards Otto

Haiku poetry (once again and extended)
by Otto Spaniol 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

Dear colleagues, due to "popular demand" I redistribute the following Haiku poetry (see below). The message was first sent only to our "nontechnical sublist". Please send me a short message if you want to join that list. As an extension of the Haiku poetry I would like to add a self-produced one for our committee. Here is it: The server is down. Email quite sporadic. That's communication. Best wishes (and have fun with the following Haiku's) Otto ************************************************************************************** JAPANESE ERROR MESSAGES In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft Error messages with Haiku poetry messages. Haiku poetry has strict construction rules. Each poem has only three lines, 17 syllables: five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third. Haiku's are used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a wistful, yearning, and powerful insight through extreme brevity. Here are some examples: -------------------------------------------- Your file was so big. It might be very useful. But now it is gone. -------------------------------------------- The Web site you seek Cannot be located, but Countless more exist. -------------------------------------------- Chaos reigns within. Reflect, repent, and reboot. Order shall return. -------------------------------------------- Program aborting: Close all that you have worked on. You ask far too much. -------------------------------------------- Windows NT crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your screams. -------------------------------------------- Yesterday it worked. Today it is not working. Windows is like that. -------------------------------------------- First snow, then silence. This thousand dollar screen dies So beautifully. -------------------------------------------- With searching comes loss And the presence of absence: "My Novel" not found. -------------------------------------------- The Tao that is seen Is not the true Tao-until You bring fresh toner. -------------------------------------------- Stay the patient course. Of little worth is your ire. The network is down. -------------------------------------------- A crash reduces Your expensive computer To a simple stone. -------------------------------------------- Three things are certain: Death, taxes, and lost data. Guess which has occurred. -------------------------------------------- You step in the stream, But the water has moved on. This page is not here. -------------------------------------------- Out of memory. We wish to hold the whole sky, But we never will. -------------------------------------------- Having been erased, The document you're seeking Must now be retyped. -------------------------------------------- Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
