AmigaZ! Where for Art Thou?

Not too shy to talk


While attempting to gather some needed information, I tried to get to the AmigaZ web site and have been getting nothing but a page load error.

For those looking for the ART podcasts, they can still be found at the ART Mirror and the smaller file versions on my web site in the mp3s/ART directory.

If there are any other sources, this might be a good place to list them.

Guys,

I believe that we are thinking too petty, or too small. I might be thinking along the wrong path yet, but perhaps these will give some insight (the logo is simply so there is no doubt who took the photo-oh, and the "face" in photo 1 is simply a trick of the lighting and is completely unintentional):

@AJS

We got into a tiny discussion of web site wierdness on the scribus mailing list the other day, so I mentioned it there, and one of the other particip[ants almost immediately replied, saying ?I hate spammers!?

Kind of makes me feel good that I quickly informed the ISP and my hosting company about it. So far, it hasn?t happened again.

And pretty powerful, too, as it includes bitmap distortion effects, vector graphics aspects, and possibly 3D as well.

Unusual Activity Spike
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


This afternoon my web site experienced a rather extreme (when compared to normal levels) activity spike. On a site that usually looks longingly at the goal of 300 hits per day there was an activity spike of 965 hits in less than 15 minutes, all from the same IP address in Moscow, Idaho, USA. All of the hits involved my ?Walking the Bee Tree Trail? photo album. I am wondering what sort of problem could cause a user?s browser to repeatedly access the same information at a rate of more than a hit per second? I am not thinking of an inadvertent double-click here, because it lasted for more than 10 minutes. No wrist is THAT durable.

A Note of Query
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


As I look through my log files I regularly note a particular web site being named as referrer for downloads of various MP3 files. It?s not a problem, and I don?t anticipate trying to block them, but something curious is going on, and I wanted to find out if it?s just me, or. . .

The referrer is singingfish.com. The curious thing is that whenever I try to go to that site (to see what?s there, perhaps to see how often my stuff is being accessed through them relative to other sites), I instead wind up at video.aol.com, on which I can find no hint of my stuff at all.

Now, since I seem unable to get to singingfish.com, I?m wondering if I?m the only one who can?t get there, but instead gets forwarded to video.aol.com. If any of you can get there, could you tell me what?s there?



EDIT:

I have found some info on the matter, both at wikipedia and at some blogs, but none of it fleshes out how people are still finding my stuff through singingfish?even though it supposedly no longer exists. It just gets curiouser and curiouser.

Re: Partitioning, Formatting and NAMING External USB Hard Drive Partitions under Ubuntu Linux

@Jack

With your permission, I am saving this thread as a PDF file (I intend to print it out and tape it up next to my Ubuntu Box for future reference). At the moment, however, I am currently backing up to that USB hard drive, so I won?t be checking your advice just yet.

Partitioning, Formatting and NAMING External USB Hard Drive Partitions under Ubuntu Linux
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


You wouldn't believe the computing adventure I?ve just been through. I was given an external USB hard drive (80 gig) to use with my Ubuntu system. When I received it, it had one partition on it (half the drive, the rest left unpartitioned) with the contents of an Ubuntu repository on that partition. I was able to partition the rest of the drive the way I wanted to, except that I couldn't figure out how to give the various partitions names, so that when they are mounted and show up on the desktop, I?ll know which one is which right from the start. Whatever method I tried hit a permissions brick wall (the intention being one partition for the repo, one for backing up the Linux box, and a third for transfers between systems).

I was able to copy the repository contents onto the internal drive, though, so I did some research online, and discovered a method that allowed me to partition, format, and NAME the desired partitions by hooking it up to my OSX Mac.

What I couldn?t do in the native environment I WAS able to do on my Mac. Now, does that make sense? There are a lot of ways in which Linux is fun, but in some rather critical ways, Linux desperately needs to be easier.

Anyway, the package that I found for my Mac is called Ext2FS_1.3.dmg which can be found on sourceforge (so, perhaps there is, or could be, a version for Amiga as well). I know that there are some Linux users here, so hopefully they can point out a much easier way to do things in the future.

@Androxyn

To reply to this, I need to say what I've seen:

The scene unfolds across the middle height of the photo. Toward the right, there is a giant emerging from a cave. The cave is just above a ridge that cuts across the middle of the photo on an angle that rises from left to right, as though we are looking up from the valley below the ridge. As he emerges from the cave, the giant is looking along the ridge top toward our left at a dragon (or T-Rex) that has reared its head and is roaring from behind a rocky outcropping.

When a person refuses to see reason, choosing instead to blindly accuse, whom does it really say more about, their victim, or the accuser?

I thought that this site might be of interest to folks here.

Scroll down to the sound formats section and look near the bottom of that list.

Does this mean that Hyperion's last shot at Ainc was such a body blow, that Ainc had to resurrect the dead Itec?


This is what you typed in your first post. It assumes that Itec ceased to exist. As far as I am aware, that is an indefensible assertion that appears to be designed to turn people against Amiga, Inc. If you can provide solid evidence to back up such an assertion, then I am sure the good folks here would appreciate it. Otherwise, you might want to stick to the facts: Itec formed KMOS, which then essentially purchased Amiga, after which KMOS changed its name to Amiga, Inc. The current Amiga, Inc. is not the former Amiga, Inc. They are two separate entities.

My own speculation regarding the intervening processes by which the current Amiga, Inc. came to be are these (which might not be true, but I am clearly marking them as what they are, speculations):

Kouri Capital was the silent partner to the former Amiga, Inc.

The ?Dot Bomb? occurred, bankrupting Kouri Capital pretty much in a day, the result being that the former Amiga, Inc. was left hanging out to dry through no fault of their own and no intention of Kouri Capital.

Once the owner(s) of Kouri Capital were able to regroup, they formed Itec, which then formed KMOS, which then essentially purchased the remains of the former Amiga, Inc. (sans debts) and then changed its own name to Amiga, Inc.


[EDITORIAL]
You know, there is a shining light in all of this: If Amiga is such a useless, tawdry, outdated thing, why is it that people with so much money (like those whom George Soros trusts with his own money) are so interested in owning Amiga that they would go through such a devastating thing as the Dot Bomb, pick themselves up, dust themselves off, grab up the remains of what was left from before the Dot Bomb, and start all over again with the same things, even recalling the same people whom the outside world (that is, us) love to blame for the collapse of the former Amiga, Inc.? If such recalled persons were really so incompetent that they are personally and uniquely responsible for the collapse of a corporation, then those whose lives revolve around stewarding and running and owning those very same corporations would not have recalled those people to the same job of running corporations. They would be seeking to put them in jail, not behind the top executive?s desk yet again. Bill McEwen did not knock on their door?they knocked on his. If he was so incompetent with THEIR MONEY previously, why did they knock on his door to put him back in control of THEIR MONEY? In light of what we know, and of what can be surmised from what we know, accusing Bill McEwen of incompetence or some form of underhandedness simply makes no sense.
[/EDITORIAL]

EDIT: Dropped words and phrases. D?oh!

From wikipedia:
On May 2001, the Kouri Capital group led by Dr Pentti Kouri and George Soros was declared bankrupt (data from Security Exchange Commission).


It was not Itec that was declared bankrupt back then. That was Kouri Capital. It was after that that Itec came into the picture. IIRC, Itec formed KMOS, who bought first the Classic Amiga OS, then Amiga. Since KMOS was formed by Itec, Itec owned KMOS, which then changed its name to Amiga, Inc. after having essentially purchased Amiga.
