[hobbit] ack'ing with --no-pin

[Jerry Yu]

I'll take a stab.

>From the bb.html page you can access the administration->acknowlege event
page. The access is restricted by htaccess, so create your htpasswd secrete
file first. Therein, you can ack an event, specify how long the alert should
be ignored, and why.  The color of the check would change to a yellow check
mark. click on it will say the information you entered when acknolwged
(who/how long/why). So your teamates can go back to their picnic, assured
that Mr. Smart is working on it.

As for the no-pin option discussed in the thread, it affects how you pick an
event to ack
* with no-pin in effect, you get a list of event to pick
* w/o no-pin in effect,  you enter a PIN number embeded in the SUBJECT of
the email alerts.
