Kaff was nice enough to modify a calendar script for our use in posting VirtView and other dates.
It is linked from the main Austen conference page here. And here is another link to it. We can use this topic to discuss films we wish to view before putting them up on the calendar.

Amy, I like the 'it' , the old P&P logo on calendar head and I LOL when I saw
the 'another year' possibility. It feels so safe to know what to do with spare time during the years to come.

I really like the calendar, thanks Kaff! As the Semi-official coordinator of the VirtViews, I have a couple of suggestions. Although the calendar allows you to enter items on the calendar, please don't! That's something that can get out of hand real fast if we aren't careful! ;-) Use this topic here to discuss any movie that you would like to have as a VirtView and if there is a favorable response, I will add it to the schedule.
Amy suggested using the calendar for birthday notices, which is a great idea, much easier to follow than our Birthday topic here (although we should still use it to send birthday greetings) so feel free to enter your birthday on the calendar (but don't enter that "very special episode of Fraiser" that you feel we should all see! ;-)

Cheryl - I agree. I conceived of the calendar as a place where anyone could add their birthday - but only you would be adding virt views. I've added a line under the month that says "Please add your b-day, but let Cheryl add the virt views".
Also, if you add a post and need to change or delete it, from the monthly view, click on the link for the day of the entry. On that page you will have buttons for "Modify Item" and "Delete Item".

Cheryl (missed you last night in chat room, had my Coming out Ball) and Amy,
I've been compiling a graphic of us posteree and posterettes with ages, place or origin,etc. It really helped me to get to know each + saw Myretta on TV and like putting her face on her name.
Which leads me to this : wondering if any would be interested in having a calender type graphic of including a photo and few details on each of us. And would only be able to access it by password, for confidentiality of course.
Any one?

Johanne, I was thinking I'd borrow a digital camera for "Austen in Boston". What do you think?

Myretta, at last, and who's in charge of logistic for this trip? Are you the head huncho? Camera is a wonderful idea, let keep a photographical journal of it and share it. After this first question, I've got tonnes of others to go along...

And he's a sweetheart, ask and you shall receive, anything for you Amy. For those of you in Boston, he did a cartoon : Guinness (the little dog) for a couple of year, for a local-scene irish bar infoguide at the demand of my Aussie friend now living down under. (what a tale)

Will be happy to take care of it Amy, but just let me know what you think, some feedback please? Any details you would like in particular, should Cheryl or you make the official demand to all?

No, I've never heard from anyone on the Prodigy browser. My only guess it that it has trouble with the text/html tag that the script uses (it must be translating the html as text). I agree with Amy's advice - why pay by the minute when there are so many internet providers that offer unlimited access (and the ability to use Netscape).

I tried to add my birthday, Feb. 14, but I goofed up. Birthday appears twice and my name is not there.
Cheryl or Kathleen, could you please fix this.
Thank you very much!

Me, too, Cheryl? I have not worked out the calendar, either. Better still, maybe write something up for the new FAQ and/or incorporate in Ann's toot?

Well, I had planned on doing a VirtView of the Paltrow/Northam Emma in March (which is when I thought it would be released) but now, of course we shall have to postpone that. That means, though, that I have an opening for another VirtView in March. Please e-mail me privately (click on the green "Cheryl" above) with movie suggestions and I shall schedule a VirtView from the concensus.

This was just posted on the Austen-L, and I thought it might be of interest:
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 1997 15:13:35 -0500
From: Garnet Bass
Subject: NPR alert
The four-part radio series "Jane Austen and the Courage to Write" will put
up on the NPR satellite in April. If you'd like to encourage your local
station manager to download the program for airing, here's the pertinent
information.
It will be on NPR satellite A67.7S on Monday, April 7, 14, 21, and 28 from
11 a.m. to noon Eastern Time. The program is free to NPR stations and may
be broadcast up to two times over the next year.
The four parts are:
"Jane Austen and a Style of Her Own"
"For Better or Worse: Jane Austen and Marriage"
"Pride and Prejudice: The Legacy of Jane Austen"
"Jane Austen, Janeites, and the Jane Austen Society of North America"
They were created by Emily Auerbach of the University of Wisconsin-Madison
and partially funded by a grant from JASNA.
The programs also will be available for purchase in audiocassette form. A
study guide is being created to accompany the tapes. Information on those
will be announced soon.
Garnet Bass,
"Run mad as often as you chuse; but do not faint." (Jane Austen)
