SYNERGY-NET on http://metro.turnpike.net/~pflaump
RE: LOCATION, TRAFFIC, PRODUCT: The Market on the INTERNET
You can build your site anywhere. BUT..a location (not in
geographic terms but in quality of the connection and hardware)
like Volant (Turnpike) or www.quicklink.com offers a 24 hour,
seven day a week, high quality connection. There are fewer busy
singles ( the net says not found when busy ) and maybe less
trouble. The process of FTP to remote connection is not
difficult. I am in Florida, Synergy is in California.
TRAFFIC, most people want visitors, the new ALTAVISTA by Digital
changes the whole pattern of traffic on the net. BEFORE, this
month you could registrar your site with Yahoo, Excite,
Postmaster, Submit-it, and wait (up to a month) to see if and how
you were listed. Now ALTAVISTA sweeps 20 billion words from 20
million web pages, files, sorts and checks the files so it can
deliver results in 10 seconds. The many subjects and objects on
SYNERGY means it shows up often.. try pflaum (p) synergy,
cooperative, interactive, learning, education, reform, policy,
business, government et al and we will appear. This generates
traffic.
When people come to visit it has to be interesting and complex..
some death. Different strokes for different folks, a open air
market, a fair, a circus, busy - colorful, active, fun - strange,
inside the MALL.. And they have to be able to find their way
around without trouble. Now while they are here will the BUY
something ? Learn something ? Do something -join in the activity?
UNTIL last month, the web was a network of LINKS.. my links to
your links. Most homepages are links to other pages. Netscape's
Smart Marks and the "suites" are sold on their bookmarks and
guides to the net. All this is unnecessary this month because of
ALTAVISTA. You can find the most current connection is seconds
and all most all of them work. My site is cluttered with
internal and external connections, 1000's of them. Now I need a
new cleaner system. There is no reason to ask "where do I find
folk tales from Finland" go look on ALTAVISTA - and the long list
of search engines on
<A

~rowe/aaa1.html</A>
Search engines, Virtual Tourist, Map, Autopilot, etc. Is a good
place to start.
They open from almost everywhere. See MSN search (MSN home page
http://www.msn.com)
I started with web pages in November - I didn't want to learn
code and was waiting for a good editor - now have WebEdit by
Nesbitt. (See Newbie.htm on Synergy Site) Word perfect add on was
terrible, the Web Assistant for Word 6 (Microsoft did not do
Hypertext 3) now Netscape's editor comes with Navigator 2 Gold,
which is not compatible with Mosaic browsers like CompuServe. I
will get MS Assistant for Word 7 (windows 95) and it has better
reviews.
SYNERGY
NET NEWBIE PAGE
A new Page for Internet newbies
LETS TAKE A TOUR of the Internet. Open the sites as we go along.
There are some good introductions to the Internet.
First you need a <A HREF="http://thelist.com/">local server</A>:
Then you need a browser: most of the stuff provided by servers is
not very good. Yahoo has a server provider page.
http://www.msn.com/ is <A HREF="http://www.msn.com/"> Microsoft's
network home page. You can customize this page with the services
and information you want. If you go to tutorials there is a nice
- simple introduction to the web. Introduction, surfing, terms,
and more advanced information.
Now go back to software download arrow and find the internet
explorer. Download this browser if you have not already done so.
http://home.netscape.com/comprod/upgrades/index.html is where you
down load <A
HREF="http://home.netscape.com/comprod/upgrades/index.html">
Netscape Browser</A>. Http://www.netscape.com
is <A HREF="http://www.netscape.com/">Netscapes home page</A>
and their <A HREF="http://home.netscape.com/escapes/index.html">
Explore the Web</A> at
http://home.netscape.com/escapes/index.html
If you right click on a picture you can save to file - like this
one from netscape.
The next stop is <A
HREF="http://cwsapps.texas.net/win.html#auto-win"> Strouds
winsock page</A>
http://cwsapps.texas.net/win.html#auto-win
which connects you to http://www.windows95.com. You will need
to download a FTP, program.
http://www.windows95.com/apps/ has under
http://www.windows95.com/apps/ftp.html
the Ws-FTP32 that I use and several other <A
HREF="http://www.windows95.com/apps/ftp.html">basic tools</A>.
Now you are well on your way. Any problems let me know. Now go
to http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~neuroses/ and <A
HREF="http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~neuroses/">check it out.</A>
If you need information on e-mail, listservers and newsletters,
newsgroups, ping, IP id, etc. let me know.

Daly links <A HREF="http://www.cris.com/~raydaly/dalylink.shtml">
http://www.cris.com/~raydaly/dalylink.shtml</A> has more than
enough information on search engines and how to list your home
pages.

Their fees are rather high but the service is good if you have a
local access number.
<A HREF="http://www.compuserve.com/">compuServe Home page</A>
They use a PPP connection so you can have your own browser - but
why have time charges - it can get very expensive.
<A HREF="http://www.aol.com/">America on Line</A>
Maybe they will get their browser to work (I told they now use
Netscape) and say there is direct PPP connections - maybe

Sometimes http://emporium.turnpike.net/~pflaum works better
than //metro. The URL is 204.250.87.44 (Metro) and 204.250.87.46
for (emporium).
When you enter ~pflaump there is the <A
HREF="/~pflaump/">index page.</A>
which contains this page first.htm, the News page, the Start page
(above) <A HREF="/~pflaump/open-me.htm">open-me</A>, and <A
HREF="/~pflaump/synergy.htm">synergy</A>.
There are also the document files; the main files is <A
HREF="/~pflaump/document/">/document</A>
and under synergy documents several files <A
HREF="/~pflaump/synergy/PATHOS/">PATHOS</A>,
(feelings and psychology, mind body materials); <A
HREF="/~pflaump/synergy/ethos/">ETHOS</A>
(education, morals, values and being a person with character -
the heart of education ) and <A
HREF="/~pflaump/synergy/LOGOS/">LOGOS</A>
[ the rational and policy papers about organizations, management,
government, theories of collective behavior)
<H3>Note: IF these links don't work go back to /~pflaump (Index)
and do it by hand - open /document or /synergy and it works. I
don't know why sometimes the links work and sometimes they don't.
Note: Case Sensitive
Hyperlinks are case sensitive. The file manager in Windows
doesn't show upper case, so when I made /synergy/ ethos, PATHOS,
LOGOS, NEW, and PAGES some of the links don't work because of
case. I am replacing and correcting as I find the problem.
Another case of live and learn. The lesson is to use only lower
case in file structure. Now since the search engines like Digital
have listing of the locations, I can't just change file names
without messing up these references. The lesson is to be careful
with your file structure on the WEB because you are going to be
stuck with it. I changed /~pflaump/pflaump to /~pflaump/synergy
and it still haunts me.
( Unstable technology - see below ). A general tip on the web -
try several times. The URL's have to be found and placed in the
server then they will connect.
Sometimes the server need to do this more then once. If you don't
get a fairly fast - found - waiting but it keeps looking - don't
wait try again. I use more than one browser page at a time ( on
Windows 95 ) and flip back and forth if it's slow. One reason I
don't have an Index.htm page is to give you practice in open
files and how they work.
I've looked at the pages with a freenet http (text only),
AoL, CompuServe, Prodigy, MS Internet Explorer, Netscape, Hot
Java, and they all are different. What I see and experience is
not the same as what you see and experience. I depend on your
feedback.
In the files you will find <A
HREF="/~pflaump/synergy/PAGES/">sample pages</A>,
along with <A HREF="/~pflaump/winhttpd/icons/">icons</A>, and
other materials for making your own home pages. A lot more
information is on the week before first's page now <A
HREF="/~pflaump/winhttpd/htdocs/doc5.htm">doc5.htm</A>
in the htm files.
This is a place to visit more than once and spend enough time
to discover our meaning. It is not completely user friendly -
we are working on it. Have a nice visit and let me know what you
think ?
Directions to the NEWS and Synergy Network Pages
Each week or so, the comments, ideas and suggestions on the FIRST
page become the NEWS page. the last NEWS page becomes doc5.htm,
the doc4.htm, etc.
