Backups from imugr

I noticed one small point of confusion - the images in the tarballs seem to have the same names as in Damo's posts (I didn't check every one), but the image names in your links above are different. I guess you re-did the imgur uploads to improve their survivability? One of the Imgur issues does seem to be about images that have been on the server a long time.

Many thanks for this Bob!
Maybe hold up a moment just in case we want to do this another way?

These posts are just retrieving images and offering them for use when the way forward is determined. If there's some other way, we can of course do that.

The image names are what they are. The only thing I see that's arbitrary is the archive names.

And they can be easily renamed. After all, there is not a lot of data here; so far five archives. Double that to ten, still not a lot of work to manage.

Part of this is making enough mistakes with imgur to figure out what works. Like how to make an anonymous collection of images that can be called with one URL.

How long are those archive downloads available?

Sorry, don't know MEGA well enough to say; long enough to figure out our plan and compliment it. With a paid account, one can set the time to expire.

Yes, I used the same process creating those post as the ones containing @demo images. Making enough mistakes to figure out how imgur works. I'm redoing those post links and the archives so the image names match and file size is improved.

Thanks for reading.

The latest. With the image optimizer kindly offered by @brontosaurusrex, I redid the images for my two 'Getting Started" pieces; reducing the lot to ~35-40% of the original size. The links and archives in this thread are updated.

@johnraff, When you're not so busy, will you open those threads at your convenience, and allow me to swap image links. It will be easy and fast, the links are ready-made above. That was the plan with the design of this thread, something for everyone. Links, group links, tarballs... Thx for all your help.

Regards

Bob

Edit: here's the reduction numbers:

get_strt-intro-jg_on_boron-bob.tar.gz - 4.3MB to 1.8MB - 4498915B to 1907689B

get_strt-intro_boron_desktop-bob.tar.gz - 3.0MB to 1.4MB - 3138750B to 1469079B

^Great!
get_strt-intro_boron_desktop-bob has been updated.

Included in the archive is a saved copy of the web site. This is the total package for the Dev who might need to rebuild from scratch. The saved web page only includes the thumbs of the images and links to imgur for the full image; which are also included with the archive. The new file name includes a 'w'.

get_strt-intro_boron_desktop-bob-w.tar.gz - Not married to this scheme.

This is really all that's needed to be stored, IMHO. My opinions are non-binding.)

I̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶e̶/̶n̶o̶t̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶k̶i̶n̶d̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶c̶l̶u̶d̶e̶d̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶a̶r̶c̶h̶i̶v̶e̶?̶ I included the start of one, see if you like it.

See for yourself intrepid reader; find it in post #6 above.

Submitted for your consideration.

Bob

Edit: And if that wasn't enough news to spring on ya; 'Intro to Boron Desktop' received a facelift while replacing the updated image links, with styling cues from 'intro to jd Menu'.

On to new biz. I didn't see many/any? additional threads that might be worth saving. Maybe @damo's Lithium tutorials; intro desktop and intro jd menu. Other than that there isn't anything with images. I think it's five tarballs for the whole shootin' match. Seven if including the two works just mentioned.

Best

Bob

The 'Intro to Boron Desktop" image update is complete. I was able to make other upgrades as well. Thanks for the opportunity to work on that. Close it?

Bob

Edit: "intro to jg' is updated. Whoo Hoo! Good to go.

The archive links in the earlier posts seem to have expired or been removed, and post #6 only has a list of images on imgur, but no link to a tarball. Was that intentional?

I was just about to upload the tarballs to a github repo for safe keeping...

Both topics are now closed.
Please ask if you'd like them opened again for further improvement...
