YEAH, TEAM! Well at least I think of you as a team because otherwise the risks wouldn't be worth it!
With the diskette release on Saturday the fourth of May, and my first published works hitting the net Friday night the 9th, I count the days of Public acknowledgement beginning with the Saturday morning spamming (I'm learning new definitions of words almost hourly).
Ok, I was hurt and set back when one (name withheld because I haven't the nerve to write him back to ask permission to publish his name), said-
> I don't know you. Quit filling the net with garbage. Junk mail ( unsolicited
> Email )
> is just as hated here as in the US mail. If you are new then I for give
> you, But don't do it agian. Good luck on your Web Page but keep your

I want to apologize to anyone at open.org that was offended by my Howdy Neighbor! message announcing my 'arrival'.
Being so wrapped up in my own worries and need to get this information out, I obviously didn't even think that someone would view my labors as "junk mail". Of course every businessperson in this world tends to believe that their products and services are just as important to them as is my need to launch the human species to the stars! Familiar with advertising statistics, the fact that my site has had over 600 hits in just 5 days of transcription to public domain, 9 returns with one complaint is pretty good.
ON a lighter note-
Here we have a side effect of my communication style-
>Perplexed...
>I am, please refresh my memory as I am at a loss here. Do
>I know you? I work with
>over 500 people and I might be getting a tad senile as my
>35th was last Friday...< grin >
and another!
>Ummm... Neat....Where did I meet you?
>Quite frankley, I've forgotten who you are.... :-{
>I must be getting old...hehe...
Rosalie says my communication style is "intimate". I just want to say in my own defense that I've been trying to achieve that all of my life! (And usually failing).
Or are the last two letters just another form of the first one? I hate to admit that although I do have a clue, I would rather not know for sure, believing that, although I may disgruntle a few by providing them with stimulus they don't want, at least no trees were chopped down, and the garbage dump button can be pressed repeatedly without ever filling up the junk e-mail landfill!
Ok, ok, I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW! I'd been checking my mail three times a day (just like a newbie I'm told), had no clue that old hands at this sort of thing no longer get a thrill at "YOU'VE GOT MAIL!". I won't do it again! I've discovered what a META NAME is, and the search engines can do a much better job of getting this information to people who actually want it.
The following two letters have cheered me right up, and shows that there are still a few people that can grasp truth even through the intellectual fog present in todays public school system.
>Hello! My name is ****, and my partner in this business
>is****. We are both electronics, computer, and
>physics nuts, and I am very interested in your site. I would welcome
>the opportunity to inspect and study your work. Hope to talk to you
>again, and thanx.
And another- (above respondent responds to virtual prodding that includes my admission to studying electronics at Chemeketa Community College).....
> Well, actually, I am currently in the electronics program at CCC,
>subheading I.C. Mask design, but my real passions are Magneto Physics,
>as well as Astrophysics. **** is In the EE program at USC, and is
>currently home for the summer. This is truly an interesting Idea, and I
>will look into it further.
Bulls eye! I am thrilled that one person has responded to my offering with the spirit of discovery that has made human advancement possible; where one responds, many others are thinking in the same vein. Some of the domains now requesting files are intriguing. Just have a look! I see that Israel, Sudan, and El Salvador now have copies of my work!
By the way, does any one know who the "unresolvable numeric domains" are? I.e. the following - 144.92.167.205 - and - 158.104.96.155 - this is an intriguing puzzle, and I have to admit, a little paranoia inducing.
I tried to reach the above addresses with 'NO SUCH LUCK' (paraphrasing here), and nobody I've talked to can tell me what it means. My imagination runs amok!
Anyway, enough for this update, I will be replacing the above text with real news once it comes in; I can't expect too much in a couple of days!
I will not publish your name unless you give me permission to do so, although mail to me that I feel belongs here is fair game.
Links to appropriate related sites will be added in this document as they are made available.
Please note: The "punched plate" (easiest for homebuilders) graphics have been added to dress up GITMotor.htm, but the words relate to the hollow toroid version. If you need a measured drawing for bolt holes etc., perhaps it's best you wait until someone offers a kit.
I've got the 3D models in storage, and can render a graphic or two for anyone that convinces me that it will further the aims of this endeavor. Talk to me! The index page will have links to some of the artwork (unrelated), that I occasionally like enough to save from test renders, have a look!
Check back often, as I am adding more graphics, occasionally new backgrounds, and this update section will change about every two days while the push is on. Save these pages if you want to keep a history, since I will be replacing rather than adding miles of text here.
