The New Electronic Cross & Crescent Magazine

Paper?

I received the following on March 25. "The website/iMIS database access apparently was too much to deliver in the set time period. The plan now is to deliver a website w/out the database, which I know isn't what you want to hear. The timeframe is to deliver the first phase of a new website by this summer."

As for the magazine, I think I'll pull out a Purple, Green and Gold from 1914, which - believe it or not - I can actually read!

The Cross & Crescent is back on line.

Apparently, the problem was due to a web hosting glitch and related software upgrades that hadn't happened. Thanks go to Tad, Chris, and a couple more tech-savvy brothers who worked hard to solve the problem and get it going again.

Wonder if an article on the current state of LXA IT would be appropriate for the C & C. Nuts and bolts stuff like whether we maintain our own server(s), the extent to which membership and financial data is linked, how our databases interface with the web site, that sort of thing. If there is interest, hell, I might even write it.

I would be very interested in such an article, regardless of author. It's the kind of thing upon which computer nerds thrive! I don't know why it would be inappropriate for CandC to write about, though it would be interesting to see the background of our IT infrastructure (and problems we've been facing).

Brothers,

The June issue is on-line. There seems to be a small glitch right now. If you don't get the front page of the June issue just click on "June" to the right side of the of the front page of the May issue.

I am sure they are busy correcting this small problem.

Have you ever heard of Beta Kappa Nu?

Read about it in the June C&C!

Yours in ZAX,

The July issue appears to be on line at

http://www.crossandcrescent.com

HOWEVER: That link takes you to the front page of the June issue; use the link at the right of this page to take you to July.

Brothers,

The new issue is up and running. Once again the deadline was met. I think the content and layout are well done. I understand that the cover has been done using a new process.

Enjoy and remember the price paid for our civil liberties.

Brother Raymond,
Our Chapter, Lambda-Iota Zeta at UW-Whitewater was originally founded known as Beta Kappa Nu in 1929. Of course, it was a local organization, but it would be great if there were some local connection.

Please PM me with any intel you have.
