[Slowhand] VO: AG's Web Site On-A-Disk + more

[MARK POWELL]

With many thanks to John Mills I can offer this excellent reference DVD.
   
  OFFER: 
I am offering Three copies of this DVD-R; two to parties with burners, who 
promise to re-offer and one to a non-burner. 
Please respond off-list, with your solemn promise and postal details. 

   
  Details from previous post by John Mills
   
  CONTENTS: 
The DVD contains the following five web-site resources (as at 22/02/2006): 
[1] Geetarz 
[2] Eric Clapton Bootography 
[3] Slowhand Tourography 
[4] Slowhand Archive 
[5] Graeme Pattingale - Cream + Remasters 

ACCESS: 
The DVD contains a customised web-browser, which auto-runs and has 
individual launch buttons for each of the above items. The idea is to 
provide a self-contained entity; of course this is a Windows-only feature; 
Users on non-windows platforms will need their native browser, which can 
utilise "index.html", in the root directory. 

BENEFITS: 
Speed - The Slowhand Tourography and Archive are database-driven and 
generate requested pages upon demand. This capture has resolved all the 
possibilities and thus offers the fastest access, at the expense of size. 

MIRRORING: 
I used the HTTrack Website Copier to capture these sites and I have included 
the installation executable on the disk. 
http://httrack.com 
I have also included the mirroring configuration files, allowing incremental 
updates; however, this will require copying the disks' contents to your 
hard-disk, before an update and creating a new DVD if so required. 
Please be aware that this operation will impose a considerable load on the 
specific site's resources and should NOT be conducted unnecessarily. 

CAVEAT: 
Links external to the chosen site will force a web retrieval. 
Broken Links are preserved ;~) 
The Slowhand Archive has corrupted files for 2003 & 2005; however, I have 
saved the GZips, which contain the full entries. I also stole the equivalent 
files from Gerd Klassen's site, (http://www.12bar.de), which I find are more 
readable. These zip-files are contained in "\My Web Sites\ The Slowhand 
Archives\Zipped Archive". 
There were two files from the Slowhand Archive website that contained a vius.  They have been removed.
  
Regards
  Mark
