X-Message-Number: 4870 Date: Tue, 12 Sep 1995 23:50:09 -0400 From: "Keith F. Lynch" <> Subject: Archive update I've made further progress with my complete web archives of Cryonet: * All messages are now indexed by sender. For each of the 318 people who have posted to Cryonet, there is a page which lists their true name (if known), their current e-mail address (if known), their current web page (if known), their current cryonics affiliation and/or claim-to-fame (if known), and all of the messages they have ever posted to Cryonet, in chronological order, showing message number, date, subject, and size. You can click on e-mail address, web page, or any of the messages. Please check your page, if you can, and tell me if anything is missing, out of date, badly formatted, misattributed or wrong. * All web pages mentioned in any cryonet message ever, are now actual links to those web pages. * All cryonet message numbers mentioned in any cryonet message in the past few months, are now actual links to those messages. I'm gradually working my way backwards to earlier and earlier messages. After I get all of them, I intend to add the opposite -- links from every mentioned message to every mentioning message. * Messages were packed together in single files 0006, 0007, 0011, 0012, 0013, 547, and parts of 0014. I've unpacked these messages into separate files, and made each of the above files into indices to them, just as 0001 has long been the index into the main discussion messages such as this one. To get a complete list of message files, you need to obtain all of these files, plus 0000. * I've started work on the keyword index. Please mail me suggestions for keywords. Mail them to me, not to the list. A keyword can be multiple words, such as "cold room" or "Prospect of Immortality". Case, spaces, line breaks, and punctuation will be ignored. It should be something that won't appear in many thousands of messages as "Alcor" and "CryoCare" do. * After finishing all of the above, I will implement a subject line index. I'm doing this last because I expect it to be least useful. You can help make it more useful by avoiding subject lines such as "Re: #6785 - #6789". This archive is reachable as http://www.access.digex.net/~kfl/les/cryonet/ You can also obtain the files via anonymous ftp from the /pub/access/kfl/public_html/les/cryonet/ directory on host ftp.digex.net. This is actually the same place. The files do all contain html tags, but I deliberately kept the html very light, so as not to interfere with readability. I intend to put a file README.txt into the directory for ftp users. It will tell them how to find things, and how to remove the html tags from the files they download. This site is connected to the rest of the net with three T3 lines, so response time should be excellent. Between the addition of html tags, and the removal of trailing blanks, trailing tabs, and superfluous blank lines, any PGP signatures will probably fail to work. Please mail me if this is a problem, and we can work something out. As always, I eagerly welcome and criticisms or suggestions. -- Keith Lynch, http://www.access.digex.net/~kfl/ Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4870
