The Google Drive folder needs to have the "sync" and "syncRoot" properties 
set to "true" to enable actual synchronizing downloads. Otherwise you get 
"Provided id is not a sync root directory" errors and you can't sync.

I was able to download the whole thing (but not in sync mode, so it isn't 
updatable via sync and the file timestamps are the downloaded time instead 
of the real times. If you're allergic to Google Drive or want faster 
service, take a look at http://www3.ispnet.net/NEONIXIE-L/ - comments 
welcome. If we get sync enabled, I'll add a banner saying "This is a mirror 
of the official data located at X, local copy last updated Y" and so on.

Here's some blueskying...

Let's get our goals and minimum requirements worked out in so many words first 
(I'd prefer an outline). After we settle on the "what" we can haggle about 
"how". Afterwards, hashing out the details may require a separate, special 
group reporting back to this main group on a regular basis (anyone interested 
would be welcome to lurk). A committee, if you will. Maybe. 

I want to hear as much info from knowledgeable group members as possible. I 
certainly don't have the ability to see all of the possible angles and and I'm 
not at all sure about the best way to maintain and host the files aside from 
being extremely leery of depending on anything "free" as a long-term solution. 
I've seen what can go wrong too many times before.


Then there's the NixieBase project which is still in its daydream phase. It has 
so many potential facets to it that it could easily require a small forum for 
organizational and support purposes. I agree with others that KISS is 
preferable but it should be done right the first time. That's another topic 
entirely so I request that any further discussion about NB be done in a new 
thread. Let's stick to the topic in this one.

Just my $0.02 based on decades of sometimes really bad experiences online.

Thanks for the link. All my neonixie mail arrives through Thunderbird so 
I never look at the desktop.


A quick look through and I see the archive does requires some TLC and 
spring cleaning. Although free, 15GB seems very restrictive by modern 
standards. I might be repeating earlier threads but has any thought been 
given to upping the storage by people making small donations?

Re: [neonixie-l] Calculator vfd tubes enquiry

[David Eustace]

Hi Aaran,

Hopefully you can remember doing me the brillaint favour of purchasing some
items off the japanese yahoo auctions site and forwarding on to me?

I actually bought a calculator through buyee.jp (not wanting to cause any
fuss) but the fees were so high it's driven me to ask if you'd be prepared
to repeat the favour? It's absolutely no problem if you can't or if it's
too much bother, I fully understand.

But I'm looking to pick up 5 of these beauties:
https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/t648809864?conversionType=search_suggest


What do you think?

Best,

Dave

I could host a few GB easily on a fast Linux server with decent Comms.

Could also keep it in sync with others automatically.

This echoes my philosophy - my DropBox is ephemeral - when I'm gone (btw 
nothing planned) the box will disappear. That is why encourage everyone 
to keep their own copies. But then we also need a document repository 
(or several repositories) someone that people can use to retrieve 
documents. I doesn't hurt to use Google as one of the repositories to 
start and then have copies.


Just my 6 pennies worth.

Google does tend to apparently randomly decide that some "products" 
(if you're not paying for it, you ARE the product!) are no longer 
relevant and kills them off or lets them rot from semi-benign neglect.


I'd rather not find out that features we rely on for a group library 
have either turned into a paid service or are going away with little 
to no notice.


I think that something like the multiple distribution mirrors as used 
(for example) for FreeBSD would be a better idea. I'll volunteer to 
host the first site if desired - I have a nice system with a 10GbE 
connection to the Internet backbone.

Re: [neonixie-l] Somebody Got A Great Deal

Saved searches are fine. Notifications on saved searches are pretty worthless. 
You have to be on eBay just after something is posted to stand any chance of 
getting something like this.

Re: [neonixie-l] Electronic Clocks And Watches by Michael S. Robbins 1975

Bill - you need to thank Martin as he put all the effort into scanning 
the book, cleaning the images and creating the PDF. My "work" was about 
10 seconds copying it to my dropbox.
