Can you really not see a place for this? If you want to share all your computers pics with family members, what's easier sharing ~/Pictures direct from your own box or uploading all the pictures first? There are benefits to a photo-sharing service for sure but unlimited size of photo, unlimited number of photos, candid photos you don't want to put on Flickr, having more that 3 folders of photos.

If it was just that, photo album / file sharing, then I think it would be worth having.

Shall we move on to streaming media files next, or perhaps quick notes, ... remember these are just the initial offerings. Anything that can be improved by parallel data transfer being in the control of the user apparently would benefit from Unite.

It's beyond internet, to me it deserves a new moniker, Peerweb, http://alicious.com/2009/opera-about-to-change-the-world/ .

[*** HELP *** anyone know of a way for non-premium members to download a geocities site quickly? I can get most of it with wget but have some older pages that aren't linked in. Cheers!]

My page was in Research Triangle, IIRC, I stopped using it in about '99 (again IIRC) though I backported some info to it and used it for testing and ultimately updated it to do a redirect to my privately hosted pages on http://alicious.com/ which is now my blog.

Amazingly nedstatbasic isn't that anymore it's some other company but still has stats and reports 6000 page views since 2003 (which must be when motigo took over?).

6 visitors in 2009,
98 visitors in 2008,

On motigo.com they have lots of geocities pages in their stats listing, this is a pretty good example of the type of thing:
* http://www.geocities.com/yosemite/trails/3543/ a horse page
* http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Facility/9209/ electronics page

This second one has a frame-breaker, webring adverts but is missing the "under construction" gif that would of completed the set ... C..C..C..Combo-BREAKER!

Quarterdeck also had the Sidebar product, a paradigm which has often been copied in the decade and a half since.

Of course, just because the same feature appears in different places doesn't mean it has been copied from one to the other.

I was searching for font managers for Linux the other day and came up with a list of features I thought would be good and apparently were missing ... then the next app I found, the font manager "FontMatrix", had most of those features! If I'd gone away and made an app with those features then everyone would assume I'd just copied them ... FWIW, which probably isn't much.

The only two non-christian writings I know about are Tacitus and Josephus. You'll have to research the details.

If you can prove from 2 sources anything about anyone else 2000 years ago I'd be interested to hear it!

I don't suppose my personally testimony of my experience of God will sway you, it wouldn't sway me if it hadn't been my experience.

When I needed to defrag my WinXP system I found that windows defrag actually doesn't move all files to the start of the drive. I used a program called Vopt (see http://alicious.com/linuxR40, http://www.vopt.com/nutry.htm ) to make the most possible contiguous freespace at the end of the drive. Then I used ntfsresize (which is in some distros installers, I think it's used in Ubuntu's qtparted partition resizer) to alter the size of the partition, creating freespace in which to install my linux system.

HTH someone out there.

YMMV, this stuff scares me! Make a backup.
