tangentsoft.com site down?

[Steve Tockey]

Is the tangentsoft.com site down? I am trying to re-install PiDP-8/I SIMH and all I get is:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd ~

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ wget -O pidp8i.tar.gz https://goo.gl/JowPoC

Any idea when it will be back? Is there an alternate site to get the code?

Thanks,

No, only the Fossil server was down, because I did an upgrade and forgot to restart it.

(Why doesn't it auto-start on boot? Because I'm procrastinating moving the site's Fossil startup script to systemd. No, don't argue; is what it is.)

Fossil makes mirroring easy. Someone just has to decide to stand up such a mirror on a separate public substrate to allow such a fall-back. Given that, you'd switch an existing repo over to the clone with:

    $ fossil remote-url https://example.com/pidp8i

or similar, and be right back in business. And if you had no clone yet, you'd just clone it from the mirror site, of course.

There is at least one public mirror, but you've got to use Git to use it. Ick. :)

Warren,

It's working now, thanks. I appreciate it.
