Hey now,

posted, I managed to snag a front row center ticket and used the
trusty Nomad3 and Radio Shack mic. Take a listen, it sounds pretty
good!

Many things have happened this summer. This website is now hosted in
beautiful green Vermont on a Budzooka/Truxel class computer, thanks
Nick. The streaming and downloading bandwidth is coming from
somewhere in southern California, you figure it out...

Thanks to Joel who admins. 'sinapse' which is true to it's name,
lightening fast!!!

There is now anonymous FTP access to the archives. ftp to
media.arc2.ucla.edu/ There will soon be a login of 'sugar' and pw
'megs' so try that if anonymous doesn't work.

I will be attending the IT fest hope to see you there, look for the
SugarMegs banner or a FurthurNet get together somewhere or other... .
. [ livephish tent 11am saturday  - 4pm friday (if you're there)
channel 9/14...] . . I'll be on one of those 'family' radios
monitoring channel 9 subcode14 on Friday after we arrive.

I hope to capture the entire experience on the Nomad3 and have it
online shortly after returning home...a mere 12-14 hour drive from
Limestone...shIT thats far...

--- old news: --- On 7-14-2003 we were using 65% of UCLA's outgoing
bandwidth of 100megabits/sec, or about 74 t1's worth of bandwidth!


Thats an incredibly large number. We are throttling the downloads now
at about 20k/sec for the next few days and then will begin to
increase it once again. They will be much faster at night as well.

Thanks for your patience. Peter Nick and Joel

ps, DNS is changing sometime after Friday July 18th, If you see this
message you are on the new server. There are some rm file links that
will not work for another few days. We are activly working on the
site and adding many new files for streaming and downloading. Look
for FTP downloading soon!
