04 Apr 98 - 04:58 PM (#25142) Subject: RE: Three Cheers to Mudcat From: Joe Offer Well, here is the official history of the Digital Tradition, as recorded by the inimitable Dick Greenhaus. I added a little gratuitous violence and sex to the history I gave Frank by e-mail. Gotta make it a bit more interesting for the newcomers, ya know... -Joe Offer- |

It is a special treat to me, since I live so far away from anyone in the folk music business. Massi Cho! (Dene Indian--meaning 'big thanks!'--from Yellowknife, NT., Canada) |

04 Apr 98 - 05:58 PM (#25147) Subject: RE: Three Cheers to Mudcat From: Max Hi guys. Got the T1 up today. The name mudcat.org will take a day or three to switch over, but if in your URL you replace www.mudcat.org with 207.44.42.20 you will be hitting the site down the new, much larger pipe. Please try it and let me know if you get through and if it is faster. On paper it is more than 10x faster, but we are working out bugs all weekend. Let me know... in this thread will be good. |
04 Apr 98 - 06:14 PM (#25148) Subject: RE: Three Cheers to Mudcat From: Max Oh, if you get an error on the 207.44.42.20, go to http://207.44.42.20/login.cfm to reset your cookie, then everything will work. Sometimes links and such will throw you back to mudcat.org which sends you back down the old pipe. |
04 Apr 98 - 06:49 PM (#25150) Subject: RE: Three Cheers to Mudcat From: McGrath Yes Max, The speed increase is noticable. But for some reason it seems faster when using AOL rather than Netscape. It may be my machine and the way caching is set up for the different browzers. But I'll experiment with searches using AOL, Navigator and Explorer and see what difference, if any I see. |
07 Apr 98 - 11:44 AM (#25363) Subject: RE: Three Cheers to Mudcat From: Susan from California I'm getting ready to have my 16 year-old son make me a home page, what should I have him use for a mudcat link, the mudcat.org? I want to add my cheers, too. This is one of the few places that I consistently lurk. I've learned a ton. Thanks. |
07 Apr 98 - 03:14 PM (#25376) Subject: RE: Three Cheers to Mudcat From: Max mudcat.org is our official url, so that's the way to go. Thanks for all the kind words folks. |
08 Apr 98 - 03:12 PM (#25443) Subject: RE: Three Cheers to Mudcat From: Marc B More boring, redundant, but enthusiastic and deeply hearfelt kind words, huzzah's, etc. to all who started this site and keep it going. The discovery of same has added a wonderful element to the folkie part of my life. Marc B |
