about the RJP - the timed lights is a *very* good idea. You can buy the wall adapters which you can set to come on at specified times of the day. Just buy about 3 of them, and plug in 3 lamps set to come on at rotating intervals.

I don't know who here remembers the BEAM trading Post, but it was quite a success. The problem was that BotDoc and I didn't have enough time to keep updating it, and it died. Anyway, I'm starting it up again, and this time it will continue to be functional. I need about 2 more people who know HTML (even just a bit of it) or are willing to learn to help us update the news and items lists. If we have 3 or 4 people then each person doesn't need to update anything nearly as much as with just 2 of us, and it will be able to stay up.
Right now ther is myself and another person who has desided to help out. Botdoc is too busy with adaptobotics and will no longer be a part of it.
Exactly what will it involve? Well, unless we get someone who's good at CGI scripting and JAVA etc, then this is how it'll work:
Users enter information into forms on the web page. That information is e-mailed to our address. When we recieve it, we check to make sure theres now obsanities etc. and then we FTP in to the server, update with the new information, and then move the e-mail to an "old" folder. It's pretty simple.
This WILL work this time if we have more people.
Anyone interested please e-mail me privately using my OTHER address (jester96@iname.com)
Thanks
