0908 - Summary/Objective
0909 -
090901 - Follow up ref SDS 18 0000, ref SDS 17 0000.
090902 -
090903 - Received ref DRT 1 from Neal requesting a reply by regular email
090904 - because he cannot read ref DIP 5 on the JPS web server.
090905 -
090906 - Since he has not read ref DIP 5, he has not reviewed the record on
090907 - 990424, ref SDS 18 2859, that asks JPS to answer questions about
090908 - changing to a Unix server.
090909 -
090910 - Sent ref DIT 1 linked to questions in record on 990424, ref SDS 18
090911 - 2859, and asking that JPS submit comments on the questions.
090912 - ..
090913 - Explain need to use web to deliver "intelligence" in order to
090914 - avoid mistakes caused by email. ref DIT 1 5202  An example is the
090915 - record on 990317. ref SDS 13 7875   On 990423 a manager at Intel cites
090916 - people sending long letters because they do not have time to prepare a
090917 - "short answer." ref SDS 16 4590
090918 -
090919 - A "short" email is a "long letter," if it lacks connections that
090920 - comprise the "intelligence" of a "short answer."  The common element
090921 - between a long letter and a short letter is that both conceal meaning
090922 - and so fail to communicate.
090923 -
090924 - The letter from Caltrans on 990416 is an example of a short email that
090925 - misled. ref SDS 15 3506
090926 -
090927 - Another example is the JPS letter received today, shown below...
090928 -
090929 -      [On 990425 discussed this with Morris. ref SDS 19 9544]
090930 -

091305 -
091306 - Received ref DRT 2 from Neal saying...
091307 -
091308 -       NEW IP!  209.63.240.184
091309 -
091310 -       The DNS should change within a day or so, and the files are
091311 -       being put onto that IP as well.
091312 -
091313 - This information seems to indicate that Neal has initiated action to
091314 - transfer our files.
091315 -
091316 - JPS has not answered pending questions about this step, including
091317 - whether this will put us out of service, when and for how long, as set
091318 - out in the record on 990424. ref SDS 18 8107
091319 -
091320 -     [On 990426 confirmed JPS changed our account to Unix, encountered
