  • DLIP Future

    After a dismal launch, I lost instest in starting the DLIP project. I thought I had a great idea, and I hoped that other developers in similar fields would jump on it right away. How naive of me! I let myself become involved with more important things, and I know that's perfectly acceptable, but I didn't partition small sections of my time to work on what I believed for over three years to be a good idea. I should have at least made updates as to my personal status and how that affected the project. Maybe someone else would have picked up where I left off, and it would have become a very useful tool for people everywhere. But it has taught me one important thing: When I'm busy, I'm lazy. On a busy day, I'll buy fast food, but I'll delay going to the bathroom if it's inconvenient at the time. Similarly, I have found that SourceForge, though it is probably perfect for so many projects, is not right for mind. THEREFORE, I am now moving the DLIP project to the WinchesterPC.Com server. The URL will be http://dlip.winchesterpc.com and the TikiWiki there will allow development to continue when management is lacking. Expect the skeleton to exist within the next day or so, but I don't know how long it will take to move the existing specifications to the new Wiki format. Special thanks goes to SourceForge, Red Hat, FreeDesktop.org, and Bazer for support, development, infrastructure, and encouragement. -Benjamin Vander Jagt

  • 720GB server

    It seems that my store took precedence over DLIP, but it also seems that a 720 GB server that I plan to establish for the storage and distribution of public domain art will also serve as a very capable home for DLIP. I think I will be able to steal a ton of data from Gentoo for DLIP. It would be nice to work with them, as Gentoo would probably benefit somewhat from DLIP. Before finalizing DLIP, it might be a good idea for me to look through Gentoo to see if I might learn something. I'll keep you informed.

  • On hiatus

    In case you are wondering, DLIP has not been abandoned. It's still quite an important project, and I intend to devote a lot of my time to it soon. I am now expanding my business with a new store, and my time will be completely taken up by that for a while. I hope to return to coding in a month. However, if you are interested in developing, please get in touch with me, and I will let you know in what direction the project is going. The specifications are practically complete, and it's likely safe to develop with them if you would like.
