THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Diva
After countless meals of sushi, udon, and tasty pickled daikon, I am
back in the US of A. Japan was amazing. I am still digesting everything
that I saw over there. One of the best things I did was stay in a
Buddhist temple for four nights in Kyoto. The peacefulness and
tranquility was amazing to find in the middle of a giant city. Waking
up to monks chanting would have been really cool, too, if it hadn't
been at five in the morning ... Overall, it was a wonderful trip. I
would definitely recommend it to the adventurous sort interested in
seeing how people live on the other side of the world.
In celebration of Tripod's NEW Site Builder, Maggie treated everyone
who gave blood, sweat, and tears to help make it possible a yummy free
dinner at Mezze. Knowing you're a valued member of a team (even if you
have to be bribed with gourmet food!) feels so good. The Site Builder
is a superior building tool, and we're all really proud to have worked
on such a useful and handy project. We hope you all have a chance to
take a look at the new Builder, and like what you see!
Yesterday was Jay Patrikios' last day on the east coast. Instead of
making the move to Waltham, Jay will be joining the west coast Lycos
team at Mountainview. Jay's been at Tripod in Williamstown for almost
three years, and his (extremely) dry sense of humor will be missed.
The Billsville staff is now vegan-free, though we did celebrate yesterday
with Tofutti Cuties(R), dairy-free "ice cream" sandwiches. Tofutti was
one of Jay's only indulgences as a vegan. We know he'll find more tofu
than he can ever eat out on the west coast! Good luck, Jay!

MEMBERSHIP QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Get the inside dirt on some of the questions most frequently fielded
by our dedicated membership department!
Q: How do I upload files to my Tripod directory?
A: The new Tripod FileManager now provides two (count 'em, two!) ways
to upload files to your directory. If you're looking to upload just a
few files — up to eight — you can upload them by selecting "single
files (8)" in the "Upload via" pull-down menu on the main FileManager
page. Find the file on your computer by clicking "Browse" and enter
the filename. Click the Upload button on the bottom of the page after
you have selected all of the files. Or, if you want to upload more
than eight, try uploading a .ZIP file. Once the .ZIP file is uploaded,
the compressed files will automatically unzip in your directory.
