Site Updates 06/02/15

Just a little grab-bag of notes to let you kind folks know what's going on, and when.

  • Well, despite the links on 43 Folders, LifeHacker.com and del.icio.us/popular, our server is still holding up. We've had about 263,455 visits since the announcement three days ago. There have been approximately 128,989 downloads counting all the kit packages, of which 41,614 downloads are the core package(s). Those numbers don't include today's counts. I'd venture to call this launch a success. :-) (On a related note, I'd also venture to consider our choice of Drupal for DIYPlanner.com to be a good one. Thanks, eric!)
  • The handbook and other site docs are currently in a state of upheaval as I edit them. They're mostly finished, but expect additions, deletions and modifications over the next few days.
  • A couple of people have noted problems with the DiyP3 Calendar A5 file being corrupted. I (and a few other helpers) have not been able to duplicate this problem, and frankly, I'm a little baffled. I'm looking for a little feedback here: can anyone share their experiences with this file? (Success, failure, issues, solutions....)
  • You may have noted that we've been rather inconsistent with our daily postings here at DIYPlanner.com. While a few of the writers may still be delayed due to some personal issues, most of us have been tied up with DiyP3. With that out of the way, things should be getting back to normal soon, I hope.
  • The production of some 2-up files for DiyP3 is underway, and hopefully they'll appear shortly. They'll be announced on the main page, so you'll know.
  • In a couple of weeks, I'll be starting on the Hipster PDA Edition, version 3.0. At that time, I'll make another call for volunteers to give me a hand in proofing and testing. If you're interested, stay tuned for the call.
  • To any people who have been expecting email from me, please be patient. I have at least a few hundred messages to catch up on, in between bouts of recuperation. If you don't hear from me within a week, please feel free to contact me again, unless you have an exciting offer related to a mortgage, diploma, or a body part unmentionable in polite company.

Whew. Onwards.

I experienced the same problem on my first download attempt - my Browser (FF 1.5.0.1) said "download complete" and the file looked thge right size but was corrupted. I re-downloaded it and noticed that the first time just a few bytes were missing. I guess that due to server-load transmission was disturbed in one way or other.

Imagination is intelligence having fun!

A5 okay for me

I downloaded the A5 core, calendar, notes and creativity packages using my download manager. All files open just fine in Acrobat 6.

You got me

I gave in and bought a Filofax. Now to start printing.

Congratulations with this Doug - the hard work has really paid off. Previous releases were good, but this one is so good I had to buy a binder.
