We had ONE new message(s) this morning. NO new emails were sent.
LinkedIn sent out another selection of recent posts. There was a nice mix of topics on offer. Communications, Politics, copyright are three that I remember. This is clearly a way for individuals to present themselves to the audience LinkedIn creates.

The Azure VM is responding once again. I suspect it had gone to sleep due to dis-use. Microsoft said it would pull the plug on or about November 14th of 2025, but it has not yet done so. The non-response was due to the router IP address not being in the white list at the Azure site. There are several routers here and they compete with each other for connection.

We had ONE new message(s) this morning. ONE new emails were sent.
This was an interesting letter. We were contacted by a member of the Mars Society who wanted to change email addresses. I took the opportunity to offer access to NewMars.com/forums, while investigating the procedure for updating the email address at Mars Society. it turned out that the member's email was no longer on record, so I suggested the member re-register using the new email address. I note that the Society is using a third party membership service, so it is possible that accounts that had expired might not have been transferred to the new service. In any case, is was fun to be contacted by a Mars Society member. If we hear any more I'll report the contact here.

We had TWO new message(s) this morning. ONE new emails were sent.
One was from LinkedIn, with emphasis this time on the field of "sales". The other was a longer message from the gent who inquired about membership, and who mentioned a paper he had written on fusion. It is going to take me some time to build back up the mental skill set needed to evaluate a paper on fusion. Knowledge of high level physics seems to fade rapidly, when it is not exercised on a daily or at least frequent basis. The gent described meeting Dr. Zubrin at a conference on planning for disaster, held in Knoxville, Tennessee. The gent has shown no interest in becoming a member of this forum, but that option remains available.
Unfortunately, our active membership has decreased significantly from the peak years. We need members with deep knowledge of physics and particularly nuclear physics to evaluate the paper this gent has written. I suspect that without formal training, he is quite likely to have missed something important about how the Universe works. It happens to many of us as we attempt to understand the physics or chemistry, let alone quantum physics, which this paper will be dealing with. I find it pays to be modest about understanding the Universe.

We had ONE new message(s) this morning.
Our candidate with the fusion proposal corresponded with us again. He added a detail about his biography. Meanwhile, his proposal is being studied in the Projects category.
Our candidate came back later in the day with a set of messages about a stream of Deuterium atoms. This discussion seemed to me better suited for later in our study of his proposal.

The Azure VM is responding once again. I suspect it had gone to sleep due to dis-use. Microsoft said it would pull the plug on or about November 14th of 2025, but it has not yet done so. The non-response was due to the router IP address not being in the white list at the Azure site. There are several routers here and they compete with each other for connection.

We are happy to welcome former members back into the active community. It has been brought to my attention that a number of former members are marked as "banned". In many cases, this marking is a limitation of FluxBB, which is the forum software.
Because of the onslaught of thousands upon thousands of spammers over 20+ years, the decision was made to close off access to inactive accounts. Unfortunately, the only mechanism available is the "banning" tool. If you are an older member and you find your account has been banned, it may have been locked to prevent hacker access. You can ask SpaceNut to reactivate the account. See the procedure below. Those who were banned for inappropriate behavior may also apply. SpaceNut will then have the opportunity to evaluate your application.
SpaceNut is in the process of upgrading members from "banned" to inActive. Since there are over 1000 folks caught up in this situation due to the spammers, it is going to take SpaceNut a while to complete the upgrade.

We had TWO new message(s) this morning.
Our candidate with the fusion proposal corresponded with us again. I'll be reviewing the messages later today. We are getting deeper into nuclear physics than (at least I) have been for years, so it's going to take some time to ramp up. All I know for ** sure ** is that the smartest people on the planet are working this problem, and Nation States are investing heavily in finding a solution. Our correspondent is looking for a short cut that all those brilliant people missed. My attitude is that the exercise of ** looking ** will be educational and therefore valuable in it's own right.

The Azure VM is responding once again. I suspect it had gone to sleep due to dis-use. Microsoft said it would pull the plug on or about November 14th of 2025, but it has not yet done so. The non-response was due to the router IP address not being in the white list at the Azure site. There are several routers here and they compete with each other for connection.

We are happy to welcome former members back into the active community. It has been brought to my attention that a number of former members are marked as "banned". In many cases, this marking is a limitation of FluxBB, which is the forum software.
Because of the onslaught of thousands upon thousands of spammers over 20+ years, the decision was made to close off access to inactive accounts. Unfortunately, the only mechanism available is the "banning" tool. If you are an older member and you find your account has been banned, it may have been locked to prevent hacker access. You can ask SpaceNut to reactivate the account. See the procedure below. Those who were banned for inappropriate behavior may also apply. SpaceNut will then have the opportunity to evaluate your application.
