So does the rest of the LPmud world.  Umm...just to give some sysadmins a
list of muds that need sites:

1.  TMI (now at 129.186.123.136 5555)
2.  Overdrive (mail Talyessin at njal@aal.itd.umich.edu)
3.  Darker Realms (umm..can't remember, but they'll get their old site back
                   hopefully.)
4. Lambda Realms (Forlock's mud...very cool mudlib)
etc..etc..etc..etc..

This is only a small list.  I mean, if you really want a site, you're not
gonna get one by just saying "SITE NEEDED FOR LPMUD".  The muds I listed
above are already established muds which are lookin' for sites.  I hope
your mud is the same if you're hoping to find one.  Try giving a description.

Just IMHO  :)

Hi!  This is another shameless plug for AfterFive, a MUCK and BBS at 
pa.itd.com 9999  The numbers are 128.160.2.249 9999    There is no
registration.  OK, end of the short plug.  Now let me tell you all about the
place.

Our hours are from 5 p.m. until 8 a.m. CST time.  PLEASE don't attempt to log
in during the day.  Our MUCK system is the Daemonmuck0.12-beta code that was
enhanced by Doran and Claudius at PythonMUCK.  I've made several changes to it
so one or two things might be a bit different than you would expect.  The 
database is based on Bourbon St. in New Orleans Louisiana. If you have never
heard about Bourbon St. its like one HUGE non-stop party along several blocks.
The street is blocked off from traffic at dusk and people roam around drinking,
eating, partying, and going to the stores and strip tease shops.  This database
is NOT for young children.  The strip-tease and a few other sections are pretty
graphic.  Check our polices in the news.  We also have a need for experienced 
MUF programmers!

The BBS section of AfterFive is based on the Citadel BBS system.  Two examples
of Citadel BBSs are Quartz.rutgers.edu and Grind.isca.uiowa.edu.  If you've 
used one of these systems then you'll feel right at home at AfterFive.  The 
major difference is that we don't use "hot keys".  This means that you will
have to hit return after every BBS command.  Also we can support up to 250 users
any any given time.  I don' think you'll find another BBS on the Internet that
can support that many users at once.  Our database should be much more stable
then the other systems as well. Note that there is NO bbs login.  You connect 
like you would to a MUD.  If you get a login prompt you forgot to add the 
9999 part to your telnet command.

Restricted building is in force as well as restricted MUCKers.  If you wish
to work on something at AfterFive contact a Wizard.  Our current wizards are
Howard, Darrel, Trish, Parade, and eyes.  I hope you stop by AfterFive
and find it a blast!

Excuse the delay, but we were off line for a week during a move
to more spacious digs.  Not big enough for my backyard booms, but that
would be asking a bit too much.

Anyway, we tried out the glowing tri-fliers, and they're great.  I got
them in with the idea of being able to maintain a throwing lifestyle
despite the problems of having a 9-5 job when the sun rises at 8 and
sets at 4:30.  The booms are like basic tri-flies, about 2 ounces,
20-25 meter range, very easily tunable to handle dead calm to fairly
strong winds.  The only difference is that they glow in the dark for
about a minute after being subjected to a camera flash.

I had them out three times last week.  The first time, we went out to
our regular throwing field, a cricket pitch in the burbs, and they
glowed beautifully.  Trick catches are relatively easy with these
booms, but doing things like Eagle catches with glowing booms is
almost cheating.  Just aim for the glowing center and grab.  The only
USBA trick catch I haven't tried yet is the foot catch -- the grass
gets awfully wet at night, this time of year.

I live near Parliament Hill, which has a few acres of nicely tended
lawn in front.  So Thursday night I walked down there, flash & boom in
hand, to see what kind of kinetic sculpting I could do.  Just awesome.
The prevailing wind here's from the west, which means that most of my
throws cut a nice swath across the peace tower.  A photog friend is
going to go back with me and do some experimenting.  The only tough
part will be dealing with all the incipient light pollution.  But the
moon was full last week.  The boom's path should be more intense
without it.

Finally, I was at a friend's cottage (Ontarian for country home)
Saturday night, and found a nearby field to throw in.  If it was
warmer I would've tried throwing towards the lake.  These booms float,
but it was too cold to entertain any thoughts of retrieving booms at
midnight.  The trees kept the moon's light out, and the effect was
great.  By hiding bits of the boom when I flash it, I can make it
look like a 2-blader (cover one blade) or a 1-blader (which wobbles).
The best effect so far is to cover the center part and just flash the
tips, giving you a flying ring.  If Edward Wood were alive he'd be
using these as UFOs in his.  I'm going to cut some stencils -
stripes going with & against the spin, a spiral effect, whatever.

I also throw in the winter, and lost two booms in snow banks last
year, in day light.  If the glow is visible under a couple of inches
of fresh powder, I'll be set until the spring.

	I always thought that boomerangs were really cool, but I never had the pleasure of using one.  My questions is:
Are they hard to catch on the way back, or do they sort of float back to the thrower?  If they move fast, is it just a matter of getting in there and grabbing it, or is there some finesse factor?

Sometimes, sometimes, and it depends on how fast it is and how brave you are.

Depending on your throw (and it will vary from toss to toss) a given
boomerang may hover over your head one time, and come at you like Freddy
Krueger the next time.  If it's moving really fast, the best place to move
is away from it.  If it's only semi-fast, stand aside of its flight path
and sandwich it between your open hands as it rushes by.

Certain boomerangs float more consistently than others.  Hooks, omegas,
MTA models, and multi-bladers, for example.  Traditionally-shaped B's
will vary.  I have a large Herb Smith that will do either, and a dense
aboriginal acacia-wood that I don't dare catch.

Depends on the exact boomerang.  My advice to a beginner is to use
Darnell's Super Zoy (triblade), watch it float in, hover and then
sandwich it between your two palms.  My ten year old managed that after
about a half hour.

well...

it all depends on the boomerang. (good answer isn't it)  If you buy a
boomerang don't get frustrated and give up because it doesn't work the
way you want it to because there are a lot of crappy 'rangs around.
Go to your library and find a decent book on boomerangs.  Buy or
borrow a good basic model 'rang and do some experimenting.  How the
thing flies depends on 1. what design it is  2. how it has been
"tuned"  3. how you throw it.  Make sure you throw it overhand, about
10-20 degrees off vertical, slightly above the horizon.  This is a big
generalization since many models must be thrown differently.  Try some
different designs and throws.  Try bending and twisting the arms some
different ways.

have fun!!
