<q/p>
Welcome! In July 1999, I began this site as a small collection of
articles gathered from my newsgroup posts and OnComputers “Geek Speak”
radio broadcasts. With help and encouragement of friends and colleagues,
acceptance of the technical press, and the frequent visitation of
computer users around the world, it grew, in about a year and a half, to
become one of the most widely cited and referenced Windows web sites in
the world outside of www.microsoft.com itself.
(This isn’t bragging — it’s numb-brained humility in the face of it
all.) Please make yourselves at home and enjoy the site!
I’ve spent most of my life as a writer in one or another capacity, and
practiced law for 14 years (ten of those in private practice). Presently
I work in IT for Warner Music Group, and do occasional consulting for
the Los Angeles Coalition to End Hunger & Homelessness. Microsoft has
been kind enough to strengthen my résumé by gifting me with its annual
Most Valuable Professional award every year since 1999.

Our official purpose: To provide quality support information for users
of Microsoft operating systems and leading Microsoft application
software. Our secret agenda: To help individuals become stronger in
their own lives, by encouraging community wherein those who need help
can ask, those who have help to give will offer it, and these roles
reverse from time to time.
What does “aumha” mean? The name of this domain consists of the two
Sanskrit words, aum ha, the first and last letters of the (devanagari)
Sanskrit alphabet — thus equivalent to the Greek “Alpha and Omega,“ the
beginning and end and, implicitly, the eternity that passes between.
The first, aum, most often written in English as Om, is a sacred
syllable representing the course of breath and the life-cycle —
creation, preservation, destruction — “a symbol both of the Personal God
and of the Absolute” (Swami Vivekananda). It is “at once an invocation,
a benediction, an affirmation, and a promise” (G.A. Barborka). Ha is an
expulsion of breath and a word for the Sun.
As a pun, it is also the Hebrew word for “behold,” etc. One translation
of the phrase aum ha, therefore, might be, “Alpha & Omega, The
Sempiternal Sun.” As you can see, this has nothing at all to do with
computers (or, possibly, has everything to do with computers). It is a
mantra that, for about 25 years, has had deep personal meaning for me.

(hope nothing untoward is happening with/to my SOHO router!)
Whatever!
Here is a Wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_A._Eshelman
There is no mention of the tremendous work Mr Eshelman has done to help
folk with computer problems :(
How best can Wikipedia be amended to give the credit where it is due?
Thanks

You are *WRONG* !
BD is *NOT* using your name. Someone else is teasing you as I told you.
I wonder if others here would be interested in what you said earlier
when I asked you questions about Aumha:

Listen up. Again I will repeat. Like Kerry a.k.a. TechB I also have
another persona that I use. Very few are aware of it. I post and have
been posting in Aumha since it's inception along with other news group
servers.
I was around when you joined us at Aumha and I was sure around when you
pulled the terrorist and bad guy routine there.You also did the same at
Annex and with AOL. Go and screw yourself David. You do not know me as
you think you do. I on the other hand do know you since I have a lot of
advantage over knowing you which you have not even dreamed about

I understand about Annexcafe ..... but what on earth has AOL got to do
with anything?
Go on - let me in on your little secret! <grin> "lot of advantage over
me" - does that refer to you placing malware on my computer and/or
altering the DNS settings in my SOHO router? Shame on you if you did do
that!

@ David H. Lipman
Some questions!
There was a time when you, DHL, used to publish quite a long list of
URL's - places for folk to visit to get detailed help with interpreting
their HJT logs.
For a long time, you never included www.aumha.net - yet after I
questioned you about same you did, eventually, include Aumha in that list.
This is the relevant URL for Malware removal:-
http://www.aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30&st=0&sk=t&sd=d&start=0
Do you still publish that list? (If so, where, please?)
Do you still include Aumha in such a listing?
Do you consider Aumha a 'safe' place to visit and advice given there to
be 'sound'?
~BD~
Oh yes! I forgot to ask!
If you go here http://aumha.org/about.htm do you see a 404 error in the
left hand column? If you wait about 10 seconds, does it change to a Site
Map? If so, have you any idea what may be going on 'behind the scenes'
to cause same?

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15;
url=http://aumha.org/sitemap.htm">
The 404 page has a refresh directive that loads the sitemap after 15
seconds. It looks like they are doing some site changes so they
probably haven't updated the about page yet.
~BD~
Thanks for replying Andy :)
Another poster, in another group, agrees, but adds more, viz:
*
There are two redirects in that page, named "index2.php" that loads in
that frame.
The first is a HTML redirect command:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15;
url=http://aumha.org/sitemap.htm">
The "15" indicates the amount of seconds to wait before re-direct to
sitemap.htm
The second is a Javascript re-direct, that will go to the same target
after 60 seconds:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function counter() {window.setTimeout("redirect()", 60000); }
function redirect() {window.location="http://aumha.org/sitemap.htm";
return;}
If you want to see the code, goto:
http://aumha.org/index2.php
And hit "show source" before the 15 seconds are up.
Apparently, "index2.php" is missing and a customized 404 error page
takes over to load the sitemap. See the same thing happen when you make
up a filename: http://aumha.org/david_brooks_esq.php

I disagree with your assessment of 'doing some site changes' - that page
has been like that for a *very* long time!
It's *not* what one might expect, IMO, from a specialist - *expert* -
Windows web site!

Quote - *Nobody Cares*!
That's exactly how Osama Bin Laden managed to live for five years right
under the noses of the Pakistani military!
Something untoward about Annexcafe User2User, Aumha and "Peter Foldes".
Can't you smell it?

The only odor is from that overly large broken bottle of HinkySauce that
