We're Synchronized! One of you called attention to the problem of "clock drift" on the Baker server several weeks ago. At that time, the clock was several minutes off, and we fixed it by hand. Now, thanks to the fine people at the U.S. Naval Observatory, our clock is automatically synchronized each morning, and should never be more than a few seconds off. If you're running Netscape 1.1 or higher, or another browser that supports "server push" you can check the U.S.N.O. time yourself.

Thanks to Johnny Joiner '65 the Class of '59 is on line. Only 16 classes to go!

Apologies to those who had trouble with the '61 index page. Your webmaster made a think-o-graphical error! Our Web pages should have fewer errors thanks to 'weblint' from Neil Bowers of Khoral Research. Weblint checks World Wide Web pages for errors. The home page and everything linked directly from it have been checked. We're trudging through the literally thousands of other pages.

We've installed David Maher's AccessWatch program. AccessWatch provides a list of who's viewing the Baker server, updated on the hour. You can find AccessWatch in the "Other Interesting Stuff" section of the Baker Scrapbook. David promises us rolling totals and historical statistics in the future.

Thanks to Jerry Segers and Alan Brown at PeachNet (the networking arm of the University System of Georgia) the Baker High project has much more reliable Internet name service. Name servers are how www.Baker.HS.org gets translated into the actual numeric location of the Baker server, so it's very important that this work right. Thanks, PeachNet folks!

Thanks to Anonymous, the Baker server is now running on an AMI 486/66 CPU with 16 megs of main memory. It's almost three times as fast as the old, borrowed, CPU -- 33.5 Linux BogoMips, and it's got twice as much main memory. You won't notice much difference, except possibly when doing an index search, but we can handle several simultaneous callers now. (Er, who wants to donate an Adaptec 1542 SCSI controller and 1GB SCSI disk?)

Thanks to Dennis MacPherson for getting the Class of '74 on line! Mike Omelanuk sent in the archive edition of the Lions-L discussion list. Look for it in the Baker Scrapbook.
