CTO Challenge for FiRe Conference

This is just a convenient place to post instructions for the members of the FiRe design challenge and their assistants to use during the run-up to the challenge session -- and to help them use the experimental Holocene Conversation System.

You are welcome to check out theoverall Holocene web site and read about what's incorporated in the patent, which covers a dozen or so innovative ways to help people allocate their scarce attention, online. Many of these methods are natural to human beings in real life, but somehow never made it into web interaction. Till now.

But you can skip all that and go straight to the page that is a backdoor entryway, via the address I provided, at tinyurl.com

Have a look at the list of features and instructions (maybe print a copy?), then scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the phrase CLICK HERE.

IT IS IMPORTANT ONLY TO USE INTERNET EXPLORER AS YOUR WEB BROWSER! SORRY, BUT THIS IS A SHOESTRING INNOVATION.

Use the ID and Password provided and enter "brinspace" at the appointed time. You should find others to talk to. The central "facing" controller takes some getting used to. Otherwise, everything is pretty intuitive.

Then why did I set up this blog page, as a supplement?

We need a place to post (permanently) any links or URLs or other matters that people want to leave persistent. Simply do so in the comments section, below.

Have fun! And phone me if you have any problems.
