[CIMC-working] Ian and Don, muchas gracias...

[Garth Liebhaber]

Ian and Don,
   Thank you very much for your responses.  I will keep all of those things 
in mind. part of my edumucation.  I have also subscribed myself to the tech 
list, mostly to listen along and learn.
    Part of my problems were my own fault, as I stupidly put periods in the 
filenames which is not safe for a mac (not just IBMs)
    as far as the server situation, it makes sense in a nutshell.  same 
problem, just keeping the search up of solutions.  Does colocate mean 
co-locate as in sharing server space?  the concept of wide fluctuations in 
bandwidth makes sense to me as well.  And I assume a T1 line is some sort of 
fat pipe?
    as far as my thoughts on no more disc space was that after posting I 
received that response.  That the article had been posted fine, but that 
attachment upload had failed.  and it said no disc space.
   Don's point that the site works most of the time is a good point, and i 
apologize if I come across as an emotionally charged artist going bannanas.  
I guess the happen chance timing of the disc space running out an me wanting 
to post caused me an exagerated perception.  My enthusiasm to go out and 
make stories shall not wane!  :  )
    lastly, Don's remark that the internet is not stable shocked me more 
than I thought it should.  When I worked in the Rare Books room of the NIU 
Library, the acting Librarian was also head of the Regional Archives.  I 
learned a lot, particularly in thinking about practicalities of archiving, 
and the cultural aspects of what gets saved and why.  Tangibility of the 
artifact is arecurring factor, he said.  Partially why I don't mind that I'm 
still shooting film.  Also that I don't expect monitors will be limited to 
72dpi forever. at some point it will be crazy high resolution.   Another 
side point to this is that I've heard of a small company that specializes in 
music that has not been popularly converted from Vinyl to CDs.
   Lastly lastly, I love Lao Tzu, the ancient philosopher who said, " you 
try to fit the world into boxes an squares, but what if you fit the world 
into the world?"             g
