Welcome to the old news index, the place I now stick outdated news stuff. Since there are major things coming, the front page will be tied up quite a bit. So relevant news articles will be posted here when the front page is way to full.


April 2, 2006 - Digital-Madman.com Site Updates and LinuxWorld 2006

Big site update....warning... big site update.... DANGER DANGER...

Okay its been a while, and here it is... and major over haul on the site is complete so lets play the taps for the parts which are dead as fried fucking chicken.

  • The LONG defunked MTG:Zone pages is fucking gone... dead as dead can be....
  • I'm sorry to report the Digital-Madman Blog, "FDDI-Cents" has been lethally shot 9 times, and will not be back. Blogs suck. However... "FDDI-Cents" the name will live on as a weekly mouth off article on Digital-Madman.com in the non-self loathing pity of bullshit that are blogs. But as a weekly sound off device for my thoughts.
  • The now defunked GLM page is now a "Road Closed" on the information superhighway. I am sad to see this go... but that falls way of the Netshow and the problems I'm currently bound up in with closed source (read: suckfest) software contract disputes.... RIP GLM
  • The Netshow is still in the air... I expect jack on news until the legal people get done fucking everyone involved over.

And now...some good news....

  • Digital-Madman is opening a new subsite, called "The Mainframe", a place where I post documents from all over which are real, or believed real and are of reading interest. Consider it a reading room for the mind to wander.
  • The Twisted Reality Comic that I was doing is not dead, but in a state of flux. There are comics done. But I'm involved in allot of projects at this moment. So TRC is on pause. But don't despair its not dead...
  • Angel-4 Project has made some headway. Nothing major to report but a core dev team is shaping up.

And in Other News....

Digital-Madman is crashing the show at LinuxWorld 2006 in Boston....

Expect some photos and reports from the show...

And now some announcements....

EVOweb -- EVOweb is a new project combining software and hardware in ways to enhance the Internet and applications for web applications. I don't want to release too many details at this time. But more are coming...

Shinobi Haven Project -- A new venture Digital-Madman has entered, is a website design service aimed at small business to establish a web presence. With front ends, software, and custom web applications designed for your business. This venture is in its infancy, and no official name has been chosen. Its referred to by its internal name for now.

Basically that's all for now.... more is coming and check back for LinuxWorld Info and reports...

June 27, 2005 - Digital-Madman Blog (FDDI-Cents) Official Launch Announcement and Site Updates




-- Part 1 - The Big Lauch!

Come one, come all!! Witness the amazing Digital-Madman sound off about anything and everything he wants! That's right folks! He can blow his top about a great many things at once! Okay time to put that joke in the retirement home.

It has been a great blog launch. I opened with 3 articles/papers I had. The biggest, of course, was "An Open-Letter to Richard Stallman". To which I sound off about the GNU-slash-Linux debate. It was amazing that Mr. Stallman actually wrote back before I had finished the announcement here! So as of the announcement, the open exchange is already 3 letters in.

Well enough of my yakking... let's blog: http://blog.digital-madman.com

---Part 2 - The Updates!

Yes it was time for some serious updating here. Here are a change-log of the updates:

  • Supercomputing Section Page
  • Angel-4 Project Intro page created!
  • Projects and Articles Page Updated
  • Major Update to the Internet Connection Referance Chart

Have fun with all the new stuff....(shameless plug alert!) and CHECK OUT THE BLOG!

June 20, 2005 - First Trip of the Wireless Research Project


Today was the first trip of the Wireless Research Project. I miust say it went better than I expected. Only 4 miles was the top transmisson distance. But it was a hella fun after noon.

Paul was a co-consiprator (not the first time either...haha Johanna!) on this one. We didn't break any distance records today. But I think it's safe to say that we are the first people to ever watch porn on a Linux based desktop computer on top of a mountian. (While I played DOOM 1)!!!

You can read a brief of the trip on a newly created sub-domain and you get to see a beta of the Wireless Research site (finished soon). Most of the links don't work, but its a preview of the design. http://wifi.digital-madman.com)

June 18 , 2005 - Rules to Life v17 (The long awaited one...)


Episode 17
The Rules to Life: Redux


It was a hard fought battle for the RTL.

But with the knock of the keyboard and the move of the mouse

A console window an a FTP

Came the text file to the light.
Fighting the evil Darth Webserver.
No, but seriously... this text is getting old..

But the new RTL is up. People (*cough* Paul and John *cough*) have been bitching that I keep updating the local but not the webcopy. So to quell all the bitching... here's the update. Version 17. With 200 entries, more than 40 new. You may notice lower number ones changing... I felt some showed their age and are/were soon to be repeats of better ones... Enjoy the new RTL. (Hit the link in the side menu to see it moron!)

June 16, 2005 - Digital-Madman Wireless Research Project Announcement


Well this is certainly a new one huh? Well time to announce it I guess. Well here at Digital-Madman I'm gonna get into WiFi testing and research. I fully intend to push the limits and range of WiFi systems in the most unforgiving area's and setups I can.

This is still in its early stages... but not that early. I have secured and purchased "ALOT" of antennas and other related components. A project page will be launched very soon with the first 18 mile un-amped WiFi shot. Mountian-to-Valley.

June 1, 2005 - Digital-Madman Public Announcement and Update

 

---The following is a website update---

As of now, The Real Netshow Site is officially down till 2006 or further notice. (Whichever comes first).

For reasons out of my control the Real Netshow server is now down. Technical rollover has begun to Open-Source Streaming Media software. But current license disputes and contracts with my "closed source" supplier (to which I refuse to talk about by name.) has effectively shut it down till I officially close the contract... FOREVER!!! Until that time, I see no reason to update the site and should be considered closed. I will solve this problem as fast as possible.

The G.L.M Site is NOT DEAD... just beaten to a pulp.

Rumors of the parody G.L.M sites death are highly exaggerated. In the redesign of the Real Netshow site (Which I got stopped in the middle of...) contained G.L.M as a side section. But due to the above reasons. GLM is also down for the moment. However I may relaunch temporarily as a side site as before because Netshow is officially shut off for the current time.

It's all about the blogs...

Okay... blogging is the new "in" thing. Everybody's doing it... well fuck.. Guess its time then. The official DM blog will be my rants on anything and you should not expect it to make any sense what so ever... you are warned. (This is coming shortly).

The NEW FEATURES

Yes there are new features... Lots in fact! But you have to wait. Because I'm like that. Ha-ha

---End Update, now---
