Nov 94

Our "saytime.au" and "saytime-gmt.au" CGI scripts were featured with a paragraph in Wired magazine in the NetSurf section on page 147:

Say What?

 You could go to the  system  prompt
  for  the  time,  but when the waves
   are good, who wants to stop surfing
    just  to check the clock? For time-
     less surfers who hit the vir-  tual
      curls  without  a  timepiece, enjoy

       the audio Yale  University  SayTime
        Server.   Since  one  must consider
        transmission  time  for  the  audio
       file  sent  by  the  server (as the
      name suggests, it says  the  time),
     YMMV.    Both    Eastern   time   -
    http://www.yale.edu/cgi-
   bin/saytime.au - and Greenwich time
  -  http://www.yale.edu/cgi-bin/gmt-
 saytime.au - are available.
Better late than never.

Sat Dec 18 1993

Moved the Yale/CS WWW server from one http daemon (ancient CERN s/w) to the latest NCSA 1.0 httpd (as well as from one IP address to another). Users shouldn't notice the difference assuming they are using WWW.CS.YALE.EDU or WWW.YALE.EDU and not hardcoding other hostnames or numeric IP addresses. In any case the old server will be up and running in parallel through the end of the year. The new NCSA server provides us with a number of useful features including authorization based on IP address/domain and/or passwords/kerberos/etc. It also provides us with the new FORMs based remote user input and remote program execution capabilities, for example use the following URLs in your browser to query:

ARCHIE

http://www.yale.edu/cgi-bin/archie

FINGER

http://www.yale.edu/cgi-bin/finger

http://www.yale.edu/cgi-bin/finger?user@dept

Yale's CSO nameserver database of people, addresses and phone numbers via PH

http://www.yale.edu/cgi-bin/phf (requires a browser with FORMS support such as NCSA Mosaic for X 2.0 or lynx 2.1 - ie. /cs/local/bin/lynx).
