Re: The Wonderful Only-Slightly-Broken WOS NNTP Gateway!

OK Its slightly working enough to get a group list, but getting messages
times out this end.

I cannot get onto it at all, see previous message.

I doubt it is googleable as its a special server and thus not on the main
backbone of servers. In any case, what would be the point?

In response to the chorus of voices proclaiming how crap web forums are,
I'd like to announce a little project I've hacked together to let you
read WOS forums as newsgroups.

Point your newsreader to: *drum roll*

bluecanary.mine.nu

and you'll see a hierarchy of wos.* newsgroups, populated with posts
lovingly scraped every 2 hours [1] from the pages of WOS. It's all very
experimental, more than a bit heath-robinsonish, and entirely unofficial
and not in the slightest bit endorsed by World Of Spectrum. (I did email
Martijn, but he hasn't got back to me yet so I'm brazenly announcing it
to all and sundry now.) Oh, and it's read-only at the moment - posting
capabilities may come at some point in future, if there's enough
interest - but at least all you NNTP luddites can see what you're
missing now. So give it a go, and keep me posted of any particularly
entertaining bugs.


Does it work with Google Groups?
