A little while ago, I got a second hecnet link to let me get on hecnet from my office at
my day job. I've moved some of my node names from my home in Riverside, CA to my
office in Norco, CA. If I wanted to get a new pin at
http://akdesign.dyndns.org:8080/map
for my relocated nodes, do I need to pester somebody to manually update locations in a
database? Or does the mapping crawler look for something on the nodes which might feed
updated location information to it?
I've begun putting .BEGIN-HECNET-INFO blocks in my INFO.TXT files, plagiarizing what I
saw on Robert's nodes. But I get the impression that nothing automatically parses
those at this time?
It's kind of silly that my Riverside and Norco nodes are quite close to each other in
southern California, but have two separate links up to the bay area. I can't accept
incoming connections either at home or at work, so I have two separate links to Robert
instead of just linking directly between my two sites. Sigh. I'm still happy that I
can get on hecnet both from home and work, and my two sites can talk to each other.
Interactive sessions are naturally sluggish when I do something like editing a file, but
it seems to work quite well otherwise.
