New Datafile articles Message #1 Posted by Valentin Albillo on 21 Feb 2006, 8:32 a.m. Hi, all: During the very next weeks I'll upload to my web page a number of my Datafile articles, in PDF format, to complement the ones already available on-line. These will include: HP-71B Fantastic FOUR 8 pages HP-71B Short & Sweet Sudoku Solver 10 pages HP-71B Sudoku Solver Sublime Sequel 9 pages (all) Mean Matrices 11 pages HP-71B Minimax Polynomial Fit 12 pages The following recent ones are only available in the printed Datafile magazine: Long Live the HP-16C! 5 pages 25 Years of Othello 8 pages Long Live the HP-25! 7 pages As mentioned, my 12 previous PDF articles already on-line can be found at my web site. If you're interested in any of them, make sure to grab them timely, because I'll eventually need to remove them to reclaim some free space for other materials. Best regards from V.

I downloaded most of them (they are compact in storage requirements), and will look for the newly-posted ones. A very impressive sampling of your "body of work" in this area! Best, -- KS

Re: New Datafile articles Message #3 Posted by Valentin Albillo on 2 Mar 2006, 4:36 a.m., in response to message #2 by Karl Schneider Hi, Karl: Thanks a lot for your continued interest and very kind words. I'll do my best to upload the remaining promised ones as soon as possible, it's simply that I'm having some problems with the ftp server and an interfering proxy, but eventually I'll manage. The PDF format is usually very compact and convenient, wish that Mr. Hicks would allow PDF submittals in MoHP's Articles section but so far I've been unable to convince him. And of course, such formats as PDF are mandatory to preserve fonts, formatting, images, etc., so that interested readers get a true facsimile of the article as originally published. Within a few days I'll post my S&SMC#14, hope to see you attacking it with all your considerable might. :-) Best regards from V.

Downloading files Message #4 Posted by Vassilis Prevelakis on 2 Mar 2006, 10:55 a.m., in response to message #1 by Valentin Albillo Valentin Albillo wrote: > If you're interested in any of them, make sure to grab them > timely, because I'll eventually need to remove them to reclaim > some free space for other materials. Although I agree with the sentiment, the last thing I'd ever want for my site is to have a tons of people downloading everything at the same time. This will bring my short term bandwidth usage over my monthly maximum and incur additional charges. Do you get charged only by disk size or do you have a monthly cap on bandwidth? **vp

I have no idea about any limitations. This is a free french web hosting service I found 8 years ago or so. Initially it was called "mygale", then changed to "multimania", then changed to "lycos". Despite all these changes, it seems all hosted web sites were kept and weren't trashed at all, unlike a mirror site I created at Geocities, which eventually disappeared. Of course, I've never been charged a cent for the site, and it's never been taken out of line for bandwidth excesses or such, so I siimply get it going. By the way, the calc site is a later addition to the original computer chess-related site ("Chess Tests"), which has also been around for 8 years. That's almost "eternity" in these fast changing Internet times. Thanks for your interest and Best regards from V.
