Hi there,

it must be some years I´ve entered here - been very busy , no time for slinging, only sporadically visiting the forum, but still making slings sometimes. Today I noticed with pleasure, that the old main website isn`t lost at all.

Thanks a lot for the link!

Independently I´ve found two "lost" articles on the web, I want additionally link here:

1) the Rockman sling tutorial:
https://sites.google.com/site/rockmansling/

2) the Apache Sling article:
http://www.prepperuniverse.com/how-to-build-and-use-a-traditional-apache-sling-l...

Hopefully I can manage to visit the forum more often in the future - like in the good old times.
There are a few pics of slings to post and many new slings I have to take pictures of.

Until then... lakeslinger

The website is actually still where it always was.
One file has been altered by the people who own the server.

The people who run the server decided to shut it down as the version of CMS it used, was apparently no longer considered safe.

Unfortunately I had no part in the original website design and would never ever ever ever have used an online based web system.
I'm old fashioned like that, I like a website to be a document you can alter with off line software.

I have looked at updating cms - but after a couple of hours my brain starts to melt and leak out of my ears.

It was bad enough when i updated the forum software.

At some point I'll make a serious effort to properly 'capture' the original website and replace the whole frigging sms-mess with a normal html based, easy to edit and change site.

But not today....

Need any help with that?

Sorry, but it's a pet peeve of mine: 'Yea' isn't the word you want. It's 'yeah'. 'Yea' is an anachronistic word you see in the King James bible. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Spellcheck, I shall fear no misspellings for thou art with me. Thy dictionary and thy thesaurus, they comfort me.
