The balloonboard.org domain expired last week and Aleph One who have
sponsored it, and the website hosting, since we started didn't
particularly feel like paying to renew it, given the mostly-defunct
nature of the project at this stage.
So I've paid for two more years (and thus am now in control of the
domain), and Laurie has kindly agreed to keep hosting the website for
the time being until someone else volunteers, or the
space/memory/bandwidth usage on the server become problematic.
So, in the medium term does any one care enough to keep this project
on line for current or historical interest? I see that the build
system has been updated to cover a couple of the boards that more
successfully filled the space balloon was aimed at (beaglebone black
and rPi) so it is still being used.
The lart website is still on the net, a good 15 years after it was
relevant. I'd like to think that people would be able to find balloon
info in 10 years time too if they needed it (for lightwriter
maintenance or retro-computing parties).
At some point I plan to move my stuff off Aleph One's server and am
happy to take the balloon stuff with me, but I don't know when I'll
actually get my finger out and do that.
The existing site is a smidge under 4G of stuff, moinmoin-based with a
mailman list, and lurker indexing.
Wookey
