Re: Housekeeping

Gw's topics are part of the definition issue when looking at moon versus mars as the terms for one can't be used for the other.
Toe hold, foothold come to mind for words to define size and efforts. Others are settlement, base, colony act that go towards something of permanence.
Of course the last attribute is applied in cost to these.

Re: Housekeeping

For SpaceNut re progress on home remodel and other posts...

Glad to see you able to get back online!

Congratulations on what appears to be progress.  The new roof must be on because it now has some insulation, with more to come!

Congratulations on a pellet furnace, which (from what I have read) should be reliable for the long term.

Re: Housekeeping

Still being stuck in permits, and trying to get temporary power. Still no roof yet as contractor has to do other work before mine and due to permits.
Had to move temp service 3 times and still Eversource has not put power to it yet. It's only money, $1,400 so far and more to get permanent power later.

Re: Housekeeping

For moderators, administrators and members...

This is what the Registration button shows:

This forum is accepting new registrations via email. Please see Recruiting Topic

How can this be improved?

The Recruiting Topic has been updated every day for years, but I think it got away from it's primary purpose.

I've brought the application procedure to the top of the daily report.

What else can we do?

Obviously we don't want to encourage hackers, but we do want to encourage prospective members.

Re: Housekeeping

For SpaceNut ... ChatGPT4o has offered to update the Heat Pipe Study web site to run on mobile devices.

You're a leader in using mobile for access to NewMars.

Please run the application on your mobile device and let me know if it needs changes to work better.  I'm sure it ** must ** because the default is a desk top.

Re: Housekeeping

tahanson43206,

I have in fact changed the announcement message on the back-end to the text you asked for.  I feel like there's some kind of reload step we may need to execute, though.

tahanson43206,

I feel like I need to delete the cache and have the web server rebuild it, but I want to confirm that first.

Re: Housekeeping

For SpaceNut re #3739

Thanks for helping with the announcement change!  It looks good.

Now we have more information for folks who might want to join the group.  I don't expect we'll be overwhelmed with applications, but at least folks can now start by writing an email instead of learning how to find the Recruiting topic. 

While I'm at it here, thanks for joining the Google Meeting, and showing us how much work you've been doing to renovate the house.

Best wishes for an early installation window for power from the electric utility!

Best wishes for good health for your contractor's family, so work can start on the roof!

And thanks for your contribution to the discussion on the Optical Plane space vessel!

Re: Housekeeping

For SpaceNut .... thanks for this good news!  Work should go a lot faster with onsite power.  It's amazing how much you've accomplished without it.
