Thanx, Niklas, for the fast service!

YAY! File archives are being updated!

Yep...the time delay is now only three days! compared to 8, and 11, and pi.

And my files are STILL not being put up. Funny how TN talks about getting "fast service" and I HAVEN'T HAD MY FILES PUT ON HERE IN 3 MONTHS. EVEN AFTER E-MAILING MY FILES DIRECTLY TO THE ARCHIVERS. I WOULD *REALLY* APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD TELL ME WHY THIS IS GOING ON.

Might be bias towards the great programmers, but personnally, I think it's because a) it's an update b) it's an update to a featured program
I guess the archivers felt it was important.

Yeah, that's probably it. They e-mailed it, they wanted to do a news item on it, so of course, they're going to upload it faster. That's my guess.

speaking of things not updated...

Are you going to make the site scripts or load the site again from the old mirror?

Done and done.

Sorry to keep bugging you, but I want my site up again.

The timestamp for the oldest file of the ~350 in pending is 2002-10-24 23:51:53, so if your files are older than that, they have been lost, rejected or deleted (yes, I do that sometimes without notifying the author, with obvious files).

Mailing files to the filearchiver will get a standard reply (though with some variation, as they're written manually :) ) asking you to use the file upload form and mail back if that doesn't work and how/why.

ehh...

all I know is that I submitted a Font Editor for the TI-89 back in late August and it never made it on here. any idea why that would be deleted??

thanks for responding... I understand that you guys are busy...

maybe I should stop posting when I'm emotionally charged about stuff like that.

on another note, I have a TI-83+ now! yay!

Why an 83+? Why not an 86? Or do you already have one?

Never mind what I just said ... I should have checked your profile first ... apparently you DO have an 86.

I physically own an 83+, 85 (with about half the LCD busted), and an 89.

... the others are emulated.

Oh ... so I WAS correct ... at first.
You know, emulating a calc doesn't constitute owning it ... or, at least at last check it didn't ...

if it did, then I own all of them!--er... no, btw what is VTI? Um... heh heh...
Oh well, I know that excuse isn't going to work. :)

I only have the good ol' 83+ ... but no emulated ones.

I could fix that.
<LEGAL_NOTE>
I don't distribute ROMs. I give them out as party favors.
</LEGAL_NOTE>

party favors? (favo.u.rs I presume)? What're they?

lol ... the innocent and naive Brit doesn't know about party favors ... then again, all the corruption's on OUR side of the ocean.
Party favors = euphemism for gifts associated with corruption

Actually, I meant party favors. Party favo(u)rs are little trinkets you give away to guests at a party. Like a ROM image.

Or a little plastic truck ;)

What sort of parties do *you* go to?

I can see four options:
* It got submitted as something else than .zip (.rar, for example).
* It was a .exe file (not accepted, even if it's a non-calc program).
* It got lost due to a bug (unlikely but possible).
* You uploaded it under a different user name / author profile.

Feel free to re-upload it - the last two options probably won't happen again. =)

1. They were definitely a .zip .
2. not a .exe .
3. this wouldn't be my fault here
4. I don't have any other user names.

I even e-mailed them to filearchive@ticalc.org . Still haven't gotten a response.

Hmmm... they really do need to get archiving a little faster...

They're doing a damn good job of sifting through hundreds of files per week, I'd say.

It's because j00 should be l00king at bugstew! (sorry, saw your ad and clicked on it ;-) )

where'd you see my ad??

hmm... :-p

Calcsoft.tk under the links section :D

DOH! calcsoft is down :(

It's not dot.tk's problem, it's http://cma.mine.nu/calcsoft which is where the actual site is stored. :(

It is dot.tks fault. If you go to it by http://cma.mine/calcsoft, it works just fine for me ALWAYS. My site also appears down, when calcsoft does, and so does Bogusti and greenlights, so I'm convinced that it is dot.tk's fault. I still like a dot.tk address better though...

Yeah, but sometimes it's not dot.tk's fault. I viewed the source and dotTK's code was up, but no cma.mine.nu/calcsoft's. Oh well, it's fine now.

I've never had cma.mine.nu not work for me

i have once

No, THEY'RE NOT. I uploaded files a good 2 1/2 weeks ago (RealSound demo + Stigma) and THEY HAVE STILL NOT BEEN ADDED. GRRRR!

well... some some lucky people.

Submit them again, and e-mail the file archivers. That's what I did, and my stuff is up. Complaining here gets you nowhere.

You'd know from experience...

;)

Indeed I would.
