(Question originally posed here:http://forums.maxima.org/7287478-post14.html I thought it deserved a little more attention)

This is a really good point. Yahoo shut down GeoCities a little while back. Does anyone know if the .org members who had GeoCities sites transferred the info elsewhere? If not, we just lost some great info...

 

Craig's page is gone. I was looking for it a few weeks ago

 

oh no way! i was looking at it just a little while ago wondering how much longer it'd last. anybody save it?

 

If you looked at his site very recently & haven't cleared your cache, you could possibly pull the info from any of his pages you visited and save it.

 

no dice.

 

Drag. Maybe Google's cache could be of help.

 

Can anyone get in touch with him to see if he can put the info in the stickies or somewhere else. I kind of needed that info. If not expect a lot of noob questions to come are way.

 

I am at work and the filter won't let me try this but go to the below site and paste the old address into the field and see if it was archived.

Craig's old address
http://www.geocities.com/bracecraig/maxima/wiring.html

If it is someone can save the file and share it or create a new page. Looks like they took down Geocities all together.

 

works, but I am having trouble with the pics. may be my internet connection, tho.


edit: aparently, the jpg's arent on the archive.... dang...

 

there this link has the list of things and if you click on them ( only tried a couple) the links work.

stickify?

 

except that nobody ever reads the stickies....

 

i have tried coping some of the pages to PDF but i have very little time to do it so it will take a while.

 

got copies of the web pages? I'll do it in a snap !

You calling me "nobody"

I've reported at least one deadlink sticky

 

bah, I thought he may have something other than the cached copies with like no pix in them and barely working links.

 

hahaha touche

i read the stickies.....

 

Being that I have his Maxima now, yes, I read his stickies every now and then. I haven't been on in a long time and found out the terrible news though.

 

Oh great, I suppose all the pics I've posted that were hosted by Geocities are now broken links. Wonderful, there's a reason I chose Geocities to host them, I figured they wouldn't ever go down. I guess the "new Yahoo" is a perfect excuse to kill millions of 10+ year old member pages.

 

if someone leeches it down, I can host it up.

 

Has anyone bothered pm-ing craig, and seeing if he still has the pictures, at least? we can pull the pages, just not the pics. and most people I know have a copy of the pics, somewhere else.

 

I don't know that he has been on since he sold his Maxima (back in March 2, 2008). I tried PMing him about a couple of issues I was having with it at the time and never got a response.
