Dear Colleagues, I forward a message from another list since it might be of interest for you (announcing a new site). Regards, B.G. International "Fossil Algae" Association: http://members.tripod.com/bruno.granier/index.html (parent site) http://listserv.rediris.es/archives/calcalga.html (list hosted by the RedIRIS - Spanish Academic Network) http://ifaa.port5.com/ (affiliate ring) http://imbi.uwc.ac.za/courses/ifaa/ (living archives) PETRALGA (PErmian and TRiassic ALGAe): http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/alga2000/index.html CCA (Cretaceous Calcareous Algae): http://www.multimania.com/bgranier/index.html -----Original Message----- From: Bruno Granier (ADMA PDD) [SMTP:bgranier@ADMA.CO.AE] Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 8:54 AM To: CALCALGA@LISTSERV.REDIRIS.ES Subject: [CALCALGA] You hate cookies! Dear All, You hate cookies (me too, except for chocolate cookies!) but when you are going to visit our brand new site at the IMBI (I mean the very FIRST time), you'll be ask to type/enter your name: PLEASE TYPE YOUR GIVEN NAME/CHRISTIAN NAME/FIRST NAME! Correctly! Do not enter your family name/surname/last name! You'll have to do it only ONCE (a very small cookie less than 1KB will be stored in your PC/MAC) and every time you visit the site you'll get a user friendly message, e.g. " Hello Margaret/John/..., That's your visit number 4/257/...!" What's this new site? Well why don't you visit it! http://imbi.uwc.ac.za/courses/ifaa/ (if this does open then try http://imbi.uwc.ac.za/courses/ifaa/index.htm) I am still working on the home page template, that is if you visit the site within the coming days most links should bring you to a "working area" page; only links highlighted by arrows will open a new information window. Why do we get a new site? Most of the IFAA data, the REAL STUFF (!), will be permanently stored there! That is *.pdf files from The IFAA Library, *.jpg files from The IFAA Gallery, *.html files from The IFAA "living" Archives, plus additional pages for related projects such as the PETRALGA Project and the Cretaceous Calcareous Algae Project. There were sometimes problems with some of our "commercial" web hosting companies (Saxen, Geocities, ...): files corrupted, loss and crashes, ... That was I guess the "good/bad" old time ... We shall keep most of our former URLs since they are referenced (Altavista, Googles, ...)! In addition they will remain the "living" part of the projects: regular updates of the information, temporarily based pages, visit counters (with statistics), posting messages - CALCALGA list (not commercial) and guestbooks -, ... Special thanks: They are due to Derek Keats, Professor of Botany & Director of International Ocean Institute - Southern Africa, and to the University of the Western Cape - South Africa for offering us such facilities! Suggestions: They are most welcome! We need your user feed back, ideas and comments, in order to improve the sites and help us to develop new ventures.
