+Lee Stewart Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Anybody know what’s going on with Thierry Nouspikel's “The TI-99-4A Tech Pages”? I get to the main page, which has some graphics missing; but, most of the other pages claim the account is suspended. I knew I should have downloaded the entire site when I had the chance. Hopefully, it is just temporary. I sent Thierry an e-mail message a few days ago that has not yet been answered. I know he has a lot more important things to do than pay any attention to e-mail of unknown origin, but I tried. I don't suppose anyone else downloaded the entire site to a form they could share, did they? ...lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I downloaded a copy a couple of years back. Looks like the Uni has suspended his page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Until they come back up, you can hit them at the Wayback Machine. This is the most recent capture. http://web.archive.org/web/20130719134114/http://nouspikel.group.shef.ac.uk/ti99/titechpages.htm The downloads are there still, as well, and have not been updated since 2002. disass.zip download.zip gpl_asm.zip ideal.zip mildmiss.zip modexp.zip pcjoy.zip pics.zip rip.zip softs.zip tasks.zip webpages.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lee Stewart Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 ... The downloads are there still, as well, and have not been updated since 2002. Actually, the latest date stamp of some files inside the ZIPs is 2006—not the latest, but better than 2002, I guess. ...lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I was on the page last weekend, so this is a very recent thing. I sent him some questions on the HyperAMS about a month ago and received no answer there either, so the problem may have been brewing for a while. . .although the message didn't bounce either.

Gary from OPA Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Good to see an almost recent backup of the site. Hopefully it will come back soon. In the meantime, again I should mention if any one needs 'hosting space', send me an PM and I will contact you, and give you details, all you need is domain that you can point to set of nameservers which I will give you, and within hours, you will have a nice little private cpanel with your own space on powerful server, with all the most needed services, features, etc. Oh, and best part,, no cost... My gift to the TI99 world... I do except one-time donations, but never a fixed amount or time-limit, and not enforced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The information on that site is irreplaceable in my view. I have downloaded your image for safekeeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregallenwarner Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Anyone know how to get in touch with Thierry? I've got some web hosting and I could commit to long term hosting of a mirror, if he's ok with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmusr Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 It would be nice to have this information available in a wiki where you could provide additions and corrections. I've never understood who's in charge of Ninerpedia, but that would be an obvious candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Me (concerning contents). Should add: Rich Polivka (99er.net) for hosting. Edited December 10, 2014 by mizapf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregallenwarner Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I love the idea of a collective effort to maintain a wiki. I'm definitely game for being a regular contributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 We have some few contributors right now; many of the people in this forum already have an account. It would be great if there were more activity. If you need an account, you can simply create one using the "log in" link and clicking on "request one". After that I have to confirm the account. I've been using ninerpedia mainly as a location to keep record of my MESS activities, but I also added some pages about the Geneve architecture. If Thierry's site is down and if we need to find a new one, ninerpedia would indeed be a reasonable choice. But maybe we should first contact Thierry and clarify things. I don't want to do some kind of "takeover". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregallenwarner Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I agree. His site has been my #1 resource ever since I discovered it, and he deserves the traffic if he plans to continue hosting it. I'll look into applying to ninerpedia.

gregallenwarner Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Sent my application to ninerpedia, mizapf. Took me a while to find the email confirmation message because it got sucked up in my spam folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 And ... granted. I guess you can edit all pages, but it would be good if you contact me before changing the home page. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregallenwarner Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) I was going to focus my efforts on creation of new pages that are needed. I figured I'd start with the Speech Synth since it's something I've been spending a lot of time with recently. Let me know if there's any specific needs for new pages, and I'll see what I can do. Thanks! Edit: Nevermind, I see there's already a speech page. It wasn't linked from some of the other pages, so I figured the page didn't exist. I guess I can go through and create links between pages wherever it's needed. Edited December 11, 2014 by gregallenwarner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I just got in contact with Thierry. Good news, he's well, he just changed to the University of Geneva and did not notice that his old Sheffield site was taken down. The following link should direct us to the current site: http://www.nouspikel.com/ti99 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kl99 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 that's indeed good news, his site is an awesome knowledge collection and speaks for itsself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Michael, can you let him know he needs to update the email address link as well. . .that still points to Sheffield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
