Blogspot down?

October 26th, 2004

Hmm.. seems like Blogspot is down. I just tried to update my IsoG -blog and the whole page is empty. Anybody else who could confirm this?

I can access the Blogspot dashboard, no problem, but the blogs seem to be down - or at least mine is.

UPDATE: And after posting this it started working - oh well, promotion never hurts :-)

Torrent stats

October 26th, 2004

I calculated manually the current bandwidth usage approximately being used/created by my tracker. In about 30 hours 21 Gigabytes has been downloaded through my tracker - that’s a lot!

And this has created 11 megabytes of bandwidth usage on my site. Got to love the BitTorrent.

UndeadArt.org

October 25th, 2004

FreeCulture.org has launched UndeadArt.org - a campaign to promote and create new zombie flicks, just in time for Halloween.

“This contest spotlights the treasure trove of material available in the public domain,” says Nicholas Bergson-Shilcock of FreeCulture.org. “When you combine that with all of the new work that today’s artists are releasing under the Creative Commons alternative copyright system, it gives other creators a broad range of material to incorporate into their own work.”

Contest entrants will Bring Back Dead Art in three quick steps:
1) Download a piece of George Romero¹s classic horror flick Night of the Living Dead;
2) Combine with a clip from Amid the Dead, a student-produced 2003 homage to Romero, then:
3) Make an entirely new piece of art. From comic shorts to music videos, fake movie trailers to faux posters, the only limits are placed by the artist¹s imagination. And artists aren¹t confined to using only these two movies — any freely-available artistic content is fair game.

I am hosting the torrents on my torrent tracker. I was a bit late to reply and getting the torrents hosted, I realised only yesterday the need for the tracker, as we discussed it on #freeculture IRC-channel. I’m happy to help, making the FreeCulture movement a truly international one :-)
