Hi everyone,

I've been given the thumbs up to give out the lastest beta firmware v1.14 to those who are experiencing the pause issue or other instability issues.

If you are interested, please email me directly at [email protected]. The drawback is that you'll have to sign a non-disclosure agreement which prohibits you from posting freely (specifically with regards to anything you find on v1.14) on public forums but you will be given access to our 'private' beta forum and post there. Basically, you will have the same constraints as our current beta testers. But, on the good side, you will also be privy to other information.

Thanks,

Nong Vang
Rio Beta Program Coordinator

My initiation into the empeg cult recently occurred when one of Rio's current beta testers, Paul Grzelak, kindly showed me the way with a purple screen empeg unit

Out of fear that I might neglect my Karma duties, I am holding off on truly venturing into the dark under belly of empeg until things quiet down a bit on this front. So far, I like the dancing people

I think he is more referring to making you blue here on the boards, to be seen as an employee of, well, whatever name is on the front of the building now .

It's up to you if you want it. Though it might cost you a beta spot

I was wondering what the 'blue' was referring to - thanks for clearing up.

I suppose I should be 'blue.'

Speaking of which, I was thinking... Should guys like mlord and mschrag be greenish-blue? Since they kinda sorta have contributed to or worked on on empeg-ish projects in official or unofficial capacities?

As I have never communicated with Nong in person, only by email and chat, I can't be absolutely certain about this. But I was once told that Nong's gender is female. Perhaps Nong can confirm or deny this...

I dunno if you *CAN*. Cyan was popular back in the C=64 days, but you rarely see that as a stard color option nowadays..

Me.

I dunno about that. I think cyan gets a lot of play in color palettes. It was one of the 4 CGA colors, two of the 16 EGA colors, and is well represented in the ANSI color palette as well. Maybe BBSes don't offer it a lot, but it's always gotten a lot of opportunity to succeed in more restricted color palettes. But you can only fight natural selection so long, even if you're a lonely hue.

Maybe Tom should offer a CGA stylesheet for the BBS just to remind everyone how fortunate we are to have our pick of colors!

Yup. There's no fuchsia in it.

ANSI color palette

Just to clarify: I assume that you mean the colour palette defined with the ANSI terminal emulation escape sequences?

You had me puzzled for a minute there.

Uh, yeah. I'm not sure why shortening that to "ANSI color palette" is particularly misleading (especially in context), but that's what I meant.

Because ANSI also regulates many other standards, many having to do with colors. But, I agree, in context, it shouldn't have been a huge leap, other than ANSI terminal escape sequences, including the colors defined therein, have nothing to do with HTML. I was a little confused, for one, as to how someone made the leap from wanting to define nanook's color as blue-green to how that might work on an ANSI terminal.
