I felt that the Beta symbol was not symbolic enough and at this point thought my designer still doesn’t get the point. So as any entrepreneur would do, I took it upon my own hands to see if I could solve it and used Paint (take a good look at that small triangle you will notice it is pixelated). This is my blunder. Often times as entrepreneurs we believe ultimately we are better than others disregarding we don’t have the technical skills to really carry it out. At this point it was driving me crazy because I would spend countless hours on Paint toying around. It was a waste of my time and a waste of time (or insult for that matter) for my designer.

Main Paineframe posted:i dunno, the tone of the blog makes me think maybe he'll get it in the end that quote is from his "#allthefeelings" series elsewhere quote:Til this very day I think this was the closest iteration to my final one. It started when I needed a quick logo for my pitch deck and hacked one together on Powerpoint. What got the thought process going was that I wanted the B in Beta to be the Greek symbol. As you can see I ripped off the design from the default Microsoft default symbols. In order to really be iconic in my opinion it needed a major tweak. But as you can see, what more can you change since the only difference is the tail sticking out of the B (if you actually have an idea I am still open to solutions). At this point I thought one change and we can wrap this up. Was I ever so wrong.

Whatever happened to the COMMUNICATIONS in telecommunications? Is this the result of the Computer Age, that people don't talk or communicate with each other? Are we getting so totally in tune with our equipment that we're excluding PEOPLE? If so, then Orwell's pre- dictions are tame in comparison with the reality. Who took the BULLETIN BOARD out of Bulletin Board System? The file transfer sect- ion of my board is shiny from daily use, but the bulletin section is obscured by cobwebs. The thought has crossed my mind more than once just to load up a host program and let people grab whatever programs look interesting. "Do you have a logon code for this system (Y/N) ==> Y <==" "What is your account number? 775" "What is your logon code? PASSWORD" "INVALID LOGON CODE" "Do you have a logon code for this system (Y/N) ==> Y <==" "What is your account number? 305" "What is your logon code? PASSWORD" et cetera, ad infinitum et ad nauseam. Hackers. Or so they'd like to believe. Vandals, pests, yes. Hackers? They should be so talented, devoted and lucky. Why do these computer- ized delinquents find such delight in trying to break into bulletin boards? Don't they realize that sysops are ordinary people just like themselves trying to find a little enjoyment in their hobby? Why pick on me? I'm spending a lot of time and money trying to provide people a service for free, and they want to go and spoil it for everyone. Heck, if they want onto the system, all they have to do is apply for a logon. Why make life difficult for everyone? Leave me alone. Go pick on CompuServe. Caller logs on. Leaves E-Mail to a friend. Lines only fill half the screen, so he's probably using a Commodore 64. Goes to file transfer section, and selects UltraTerm protocol. Chooses a file that indicates it's a TRS-80 program. BBS goes to send, he figures out that he's somewhere he doesn't want to be and drops carrier. Another caller logs on four times in a row, but keeps losing carrier before he can do anything. Probably phreaking on a cheapie phone ser- vice. Another caller successfully downloads a file. Sit. Wait. Wait some more. System eventually times out and drops him. I'm not the most polite person in the world and I'm certainly not one to stand on ceremony, but I am old enough to remember what manners were. They also went down the tubes with "communications" and "bulle- tin boards." Whoops! Dropped carrier! So what? If it's a halfway decent system, it'll reboot. Well, I'll just go to bed while download- ing this long file, the system will eventually throw me off and reboot. Never mind that there's other people wanting to call into the board. Who cares that the sysop climbs the walls when he sees someone drop carrier or time-out on the system? Lately I've gotten into the habit of dropping carrier ON MY END for the worst offenders. One good hang- up deserves another. Along with all the other goodies that have bitten the dust, there's good old APPRECIATION. As I mentioned before, my BBS has fielded over 12,000 calls. Out of all of them, I have gotten maybe a dozen messages saying "Thanks for running your BBS." That's about one "Thank You" per THOUSAND calls! Unfortunately, it seems that people think they have all this automatically coming to them. It's their right! Sorry to disil- lusion anyone, but that just ain't so. The master switch for this sys- tem is two feet away, and I'm not so decrepit that I can't hit it in a flash. Alternatively, I can ban anyone I wish from my system. Callers use this BBS at my forbearance only, and it's not a God-given right. It's a sysop-given privilege! I sincerely feel that we should proclaim a "Sysop Appreciation Day." We certainly don't get any on a day-to-day basis! Don't get me wrong. There ARE joys and benefits in running a BBS, although sometimes in my nether moods I'm hard pressed to enumerate them. But the fact is, there have been many occasions when I've rest- ed my finger on the switch with the idea of going offline forever. Now for the moral of the story. I'm only one sysop among many, and I'm not trying to evoke sympathy for myself through this article. The point is that almost every sysop around has these feelings to some extent or another. And further, most of these sysops (especially the best and most devoted ones) are going to reach a saturation point and wind up depriving the general public of their services. I foresee a day coming, and very soon at that, when the high quality BBS's will be all gone. So all this is really a plea for everyone to shape up their acts before it's too late. If nothing else, when you're on a bulletin board, leave a little message to the sysop. "Thanks for the use of your system" or "Fine BBS you have here." Let them know they're appre- ciated. When I see a message like that, I say to myself, "THAT's why I'm doing all this!" Sysops are real, live human beings with feelings and emotions. Let's start treating them as such! - + - + - + - EPILOGUE: Twelve hours after the above was written, I find out that one of my best friends (with higher than normal access to the system) has allowed a third party to use her logon. That's forbidden for anyone on my BBS to do, but it hurts even more because a valued and trusted friend who should have known better went and did it. That's the final straw. The Most Significant Byte BBS is no longer in existence. Jim Anderson, Ex-Sysop The Most Significant Byte BBS Billings, Montana January 13, 1985 NOTE: I agree completely with Jim in his above comments, if not his action. I find it difficult to comprehend the mind of individuals, who take those of us who, through our generosity and good nature, are supplying them, free of charge, this service. Please note, this atti- tude of SysOps is spreading and BBS's around the country are disappear- ing or getting more difficult to access. I certainly hope this action in tiny Billings, Montana has some effect on the community of computer- ists. Don't abuse a good thing! Dave Williams, still SysOp Magic City BBS Billings, MT January 13, 1985 It's sad, guys, but these guys are right. My best friend has a sta- tistic on another BBS of "Uploads = 0. Downloads = 50". I just can't stand it. The average SysOp spends AT LEAST an hour a day sitting at his computer, keeping the BBS alive. I have received FIVE notes saying "good BBS" in my board's lifetime. I counted. They're THAT important. The heartening thing is that I got this only a few months after its original distribution in Montana. SPREAD THE WORD! SysOps, keep this a bulletin on your systems. I, personally have gone on a crusade to expand the bulletins and features on my BBS, and this is the 19th. BUT, users are already complaining about the length of the menu! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! I just wonder why sometimes. Why? WHY do SysOps go through all this? You figure it out. John Hodal, Sysop Lakes Region BBS Wildwood, IL May 24, 1985 After running a BBS for only a short while, I can see the Sysop's side of the coin, they put in long hours, lots of money for equipment and phone bills, and offer it as a SERVICE to the users. Then the users call up, go straight to the Download Section, and download, download, and download some more. They don't upload anything, or contribute to the message base. Ed Wilkinson, Sysop Hacker's Haven BBS Orem, Utah December 30th, 1986 Thanks for reading this far! Perhaps this bulletin has given you an- other side of the BBS business, the Sysop's. And believe it, there's lots more! At times a caller will make our day, help out and take the time to see what its about... and it helps. You came this far. We are working our tails off to make this one of the better boards to call - now its up to you! Andy Keeves, Sysop The Executive Network Board Westchester, New York January 24th, 1987 As you can plainly see, this is not the only BBS where abuse is wide- spread. Maybe it's a sign of our times... I sure hope not. Attitudes must change. ME! ME! ME! ME! Let's make a concerted effort to change it. Instead of waiting for the Sysop to request something of you, why not ask what you can do to help him/her out to lessen the workload? Just following system policies will help. Read the Sysops' logon messages and bulletins. Spend some time in the message bases. You might find a wealth of information there. You might even be able to help someone else out! My ideal system (from a Sysops' point of view) is one where 90% of it's maintenance is done by it's USERS. I'd gladly settle for 50%. A BBS should be interactive and self-sustain- ing by it's very nature. Pitch in and help me make this system, OUR system, the best of it's kind. Mark Rapp, Sysop MicroSellar BBS Verona, NJ April 20, 1987

this one owwwwwns www_txt as gently caress The Disktop Publishing BBS - The Epicenter of Electronic Publishing by Ron Albright, Sysop The "First Wave" of publishing was restricted to manuscripts hand- copied by transcribers and available only to the rich. The "Second Wave" started in 1455 with Gutenberg's printing press which made books and other material widely available to all. The "Third Wave," just beginning to swell in the information ocean, is the one that will sweep us into the next century. It is the wave of "electronic publishing." The "Disktop Publishing" bulletin board system ("BBS") is your "surfboard" to ride this new wave of information access. The Disktop Publishing BBS is a Wildcat! system dedicated all interested in the dissemination of information in electronic ("computer readable") format. The system is a single-line BBS that operates 24 hours per day at 205-854-1660. The modem online is a U.S. Robotics Courier and supports V.32/V.42 communications at 1200/2400/9600 bps. Anyone - particularly authors, publishers, and consumers of on-disk publishing - are sure to find something of interest on the BBS. Online since May, 1991, the Disktop BBS recently converted from version 2.55 of the Wildcat! software to the highly-acclaimed version 3.0 package. The new software offers an immense array of cutting-edge facilities. These include: - full screen message editing - the ability to attach files to messages for immediate downloading after reading a message - file descriptions of up to 15 lines - batch uploads and downloads (up to 99 files) - internal support for Xmodem, Zmodem, and Kermit transfers - Doors and Net & Echomail support There are many more. While the BBS is being adapted to the new software - and still is awaiting implementation of some features - the goal of the Disktop Publishing BBS remains clear, Namely, 1. To promote, though improved public awareness, the benefits of electronic publishing. These benefits include availability - often on a 24 hour a day, on demand basis - of electronic publications, faster production time, cheaper cost, easier revision and updating, reduced consumption of natural resources, and - using appropriate reader software - enhanced presentation and readability. 2. To provide a forum for discussing the unique challenges of successfully publishing and marketing disk-based publications. Examples might include matching an author or publisher with the appropriate medium for a proposed project. The BBS is the home of the newly-formed "Disktop Publishing Association." Like the BBS, the DPA is dedicated to the advancement of "electronic publishing" in all forms. "Electronic publishing," in its broadest sense, means the authorship and production for general consumer access of any materials which are primarily read by computer and viewed on computer monitors. Electronic publishing - also synonymous with "paperless," "digital," and "on-disk" publishing - includes fiction and nonfiction works that are stored and distributed on disk or available by modem access on "bulletin board systems" ("BBSs"). Examples include newsletters, anthologies, books, and other materials which can be read by modem or from computer disk. Currently, the BBS has several conferences for the discussion of the issues of electronic publishing. Hypertext, multimedia and other are already in place. The usual collections of game, word processing, and utility files are supplemented with several files areas full of excellent electronic publications. In addition, the BBS has a dozen or so "bulletins" which can be read online. These are the latest editions of several popular "electronic newsletters" including "Z*NET," "PC Review Online," "PC Review International," and "Birmingham Telecommunications News," among others. The bulletins are updated as soon as new issues of the newsletters are released. So, you are invited to drop by and learn more about the "Third Wave" of publishing - paperless publishing. With the ability to publish more cheaply and quickly that on paper, on-disk publishing will be even more liberating to the free flow of information that one Gutenberg's press. No longer will authors be shackled to the whims and bean-counters of the New York publishing houses. Finally, anyone with something to say can find readers for his labors. Join the excitement. Grab onto the Disktop BBS and ride the surf into a new age of writing and reading.
