Here is my Puppeee stuff.
Edit: They closed my Ubuntu one account

Lost my files there. I tried to recover them but Ubuntu cloud failed me.

If you need the celeron iso or docs.

the puppeee site hosted alot of useful pets like filezilla-
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/FileZilla

maybe Puppeee and pets archive could be made on ibibilio.org ?

I think of that guy that started the puppe site with one less e???
Her name was puppeee and his was one or two shorter?
Them kind of competed? Would him not have all the documentation on his server then? or at least him ahve it at his home on some hdd? as a backup? Should we not ask him now if the way back machines fails at it.

I don't get it. Jemimah who always are so organized and really structured would she not have the documentation on a back up somewhere?

I mean would not be like her to just trust the hosing service to have a back up of it. Those can get flooded or burned down or get bankrupsy whatever so she should have a back up?

Okay we should not make her a phone call such can be embarrassing and to be too close to her home. But a nice friendly email or PM would that not work?

Sometimes when someone walks away from a project...they really walk.
At this point we might conclude that if Jemimah wanted Puppeee and Fluppy to survive, she would have done something other than have the website devoid of content.

One could try emailing the contacts for the domain listed at:

http://network-tools.com/default.asp?pr ... uppeee.com

Anyone have a link to the 4.4 rc2 devx? (i.e. 514 devx)

The link at the top of the page is for the 4.3 series.

Honestly, I just ran out of enthusiasm for the project. Working on it started to feel like a real chore. It got to the point where I just couldn't do it anymore. The website when down because I stopped paying the bill. I guess I felt quite guilty for not maintaining it and deleting the spam, and it was bringing me down emotionally. Also I dropped/broke a couple of my netbooks and that made me sad. I never use any of them anymore (because I need to carry the big honker for my current work engagement) so that's why development stopped. Also I get the impression that the market has largely moved on to tablets. If I were to start any new projects, I'd need to be excited about the hardware.

Also, during most of the development of Puppeee my day job was not very time consuming or intellectually stimulating. I needed something to keep me from losing IQ points. However, that situation has changed (for the better). I'm not sure what will happen with my job this year - but I think I will stay challenging. I did my first gig as implementation (BMC) tech lead for the past six months. Really, this is the first time in my career that I've felt even remotely challenged.

I do regret just letting the website expire without warning and I apologize for that. I was simply trying to get rid of some of my own emotional baggage and acted impulsively.

Hello, Jemimah!

We all have rainy days, some more than others. I'm sorry to hear about your netbooks, and about Puppeee and Fluppy.

I have to say, the first time I tried Fluppy I was not impressed with the appearance, but I went back to it awhile later and was flat-out amazed at what I had been missing because I only gave it 10sec. As for Puppeee... well... my primary computer is an ASUS Eee 1000HEB

anyone want to guess what my very first exposure to Puppy was? Yep, Puppeee.

I'm glad to hear that you have a good job (I wish I did) -- and I definitely identify with the whole "I don't like it if it feels like a chore" (which is why I will never be a graphic artist by profession -- I know that if I start having other people tell me what to draw, when, and how, I will put down the pencil for the rest of my life, and I don't want that to happen) -- but I'm sure I'm not the only one who misses you around here.

Also, I'm going to send you a friendly PM in a minute or two... see if I can help with something. My little way of giving back if I can.

nooby · #42 Post by **nooby** » Wed 02 Nov 2011, 21:38

Jemimah a big warm hug to you and wish you all the best.

I should not give advice but being a very old old guy I hope
you can forgive me for saying that all experience say that
one should do things because them feel good.

When things feel like a chore or obligation from others then
one easily get worn out.

if you have files that you can share with us on the wayback
server that TLChost talks about do send them to him so
people who love your Puppeee and Fluppy can find the needed
files. If them are gone with those bad luck machines then
gone are gone.

Thanks indeed for sharing with us. Much appreciated.

jemimah:

Good day mate.

You done good with Fluppy etc..

I agree with starhawk's post.

Post back occasionally when you feel ready.

All the best....Chris.

BTW... don't think I have Puppeee anywhere still, but I know I have Fluppy 013, and I might still have Fluppy 011. If Jemimah's OK with it, and someone can point me to a hosting place (russoodle: could I use that space you gave me for The Puppy Formerly Known As GreenPup?) I will gladly scan in those CDs (ImgBurn can do that I think) and put them up here.

Hi jemimah

Glad to hear you are ok and that the brain-buds are being stimulated.

If and when you get some time - Puppy ported to arm -
might be a challenge you may wish to consider?

There would be a massive amount of enthusiasm for it -
should you ever feel so inclined.

Regarding Puppeee and Fluppy, we are forever in your debt.
Both are fantastic puppy's and IMHO represent some of (if not the)
finest pinnacles of achievement in PuppyLand.
Without doubt - if one has an EeePC - there is only one OS to use.

What you did was outstanding - much appreciated by so many.

Very best regards and much success with all that you do in the future.

Ray

Jemimah,
Just want to say thanks for all your excellent work on puppeee/fluppy and hope you enjoy your career and private life.

tinker · #47 Post by **tinker** » Thu 03 Nov 2011, 01:46

Jemimah,

Don't feel bad about stopping work on these projects - what you did was fabulous - I have used nothing else besides puppeee and fluppy on my netbooks and they're still the best.

Move on, have fun, work on them, don't work on them, whatever you feel like.

Don't be a stranger to the forum, you're always an honored part of the puppy family.

Best Regards,
tinker

Totally true! I'm glad to hear of you Jemimah (still not able to spell it correctly)

I thought we were nnot going to have news about you and you'll just disappear. That's good to know you got an other job.

If you're ever feeling to have charges that you don't want to have... just say it. And more importantly, take time for yourself

I would say that without puppeee, my eeepc would be dead.

Do you think we could reactivate puppeee website. I would like to see this project still alive. I know that raff was owner of the domain. What do you guys think?

Thanks again for all your work done throughout years.

Etienne

Edit: Porting puppy to arm would be fantastic! I have the eeenote tablet and the firmware isn't so great.

Thanks for all your did for us. Fluppy is an amazing piece of work. I really enjoy using it...on desktops, notebooks, netbooks and various systems at school and customer sites.

At one time I had 4 or more Puppies on a bootable USB...now, it's only one...Fluppy. I also suggest on the #puppylinux IRC channel that folks try it...quite a few have.

If you still have material available, I'd be happy to host it in conjunction with the forum at http://puppylinux.us/wayback/

Best of luck with the new job.

Thom
