Does Anyone Know What Haapened To Steve Ekblad's Site?

kelticwizard · 25th January 2003, 03:06 PM

You know, the site with all those nifty audio tools and utilities, plus a zillion links to all kinds of freeware programs.
http://www.wssh.net/~wattsup/audio/

It's been down for a couple of weeks, at least.

Does anyone know what is happening? Is the site coming back?

Or is it permanently gone?

I only know that I made a real search,
to see if there was any new site.

I failed.
So Steve Ekblad is no more - at least for the moment.

Google cache has the page, but not the downloads:

http://216.239.57.100/search?q=cache...hl=en&ie=UTF-8

In steps archive.org to the rescue!

http://web.archive.org/web/200201241...wattsup/audio/

The applets don't seem to funtion, but the one .zip file I tried worked.

I have all software from his site (end 1998), and three lists, year after year, 1998, 99, 2000.

Well, that was very informative-much better response than I thought possible.

Is there any way to save that site? If I go to the archive site, can I just click on File-Save and work it that way? Incidentally, is there a time limit on how long they keep archived sites up?

Incidentally, there is site of his still up. It contains links to just about every audio manufacturer out there.
http://home.t-online.de/home/martinpaul/audiolnk.htm

The address he gies is the home office for Jamo equipment in America. I don't know if he works for the importer or if he is the importer.

Must admit that I am a bit worried. One hopes that he simply is getting out of audio, not that something terrible happened .

Dmitri, you might be hearing from me if I need a link.

Anyway, great response guys.

You can use a spider to pull everything down. I'm pretty sure archive.org keeps those sites up for as long as archive.org is going to be around. It's a very nice service.

I was able to pull down all of the programs he had there (that weren't dead links) and it was a total of 28 megs (71 files). Not too unreasonable. One of these days I'll get around to posting some stuff on a site. A searchable database of freeware/shareware/demo programs for DIYers would be nice, but I have some DIY projects to finish before I could plan out something like that

p.s. - if anyone wants the entire archive I can zip it and make it publicly available (28.5mb). Just email me at ricky@ryoshu.com.
