A82: Defiance update + Monolith goes down permanently
First, the great news. Defiance is again under 6K (5833 bytes presently)
after a brush with 8K+. All I did was use the sine tables to generate cosines
and I eliminated 2 cosine tables, a cosine and an inverse cosine. This cut
the program down by 1152 bytes! There is no noticable difference in speed,
and if there is a speed differents it's certainly worth the memory it saved.
Now, the devastating news. Those of you who don't already know, Monolith
(www.ml.org) has officially shut down (don't panic users, FREED and ATHOME
still work, but DYNDNS is down and will never come back up). They were the
provider of my dynamic IP domain service, and without it you never know for
sure how to get to the Defiance page, since it's on my computer. Since I got
my cable modem sometime in September, my IP address has not changed, so it's a
pretty safe bet that you can use it to access the Defiance page. Use either
of the following URLs to access the Defiance website:
- http://24.131.10.54/defiance/
- http://nic-c10-054.mw.mediaone.net/defiance/
Unfortunately I don't think Defiance will ever have it's own domain name
again, so in the future it will be http://whateverdomainIcanget/defiance/. I
have found four services similar to Monolith's DYNDNS, but three of them are
pay and I don't think they allow multiple domain names on the same account.
I'll send another email as soon as I get confirmation of the service I'll use.
Thanks for reading, it got a little longer than I expected.
