Is Jemimah's original Puppeee still available?
thanks again
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)tinker wrote:Move on, have fun, work on them, don't work on them, whatever you feel like.
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.

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.jemimah wrote:
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.
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.

Oh Jemimah!
Am I glad to hear you were not snagged by a gator in your swamp.
Since I started this thread I have tried a few other puppies but always come back to the one I love! I think had it not been for Puppeee I would have trashed my 701 a couple of years ago so it is nice to echo what was said in the last few posts.
I wish you all the best – and don’t get lost.
I do have one regret and kick myself for it – and that is that I didn’t copy the whole content of your blog to my computer!
All the best
Don

You know it. I know it. The gator in the swamp knows it.Also I get the impression that the market has largely moved on to tablets.
You did good Jemimah. Pemasu was heavily influenced by your efforts and he produces some of the best implementations of our raw boned Puppys.
A lot of us are getting new hardware.
Starting with Pi
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PARM
as a stepping stone to a future cheap commodity tablet (not yet available)
and large screen phone (further future)
Even now the big manufacturers are wondering if they
need to set 'open tablet' not marketed by Google corp
or just amazon kindling . . .
As it emerges, we will be there . . .
You did good Jemimah. Your voice is always welcome here.
Not to derail the thread (seriously!) but I have a Dell CPi that boots --from CD-- in somewhere around 01:30 (MM:SS) -- tolerances on that are roughly +0sec / -15sec.
<docbrown> tablets? where we're going, we don't need... tablets! </docbrown>
The only tablet in my house is a Velocity Micro Cruz eReader. It is slow, difficult to use, and heavily locked down in terms of software. The screen sensitivity is roughly comparable to the gas pedal sensitivity on my mother's mid-90's Ford Ranger (we still joke about how she practically had to unbuckle and STAND on the pedal to get the thing to respond!). It does have WiFi and a browser, but if I said I was impressed with it... I'm lying so hard that my pants ignited. It's cr*p, and I won't use it.
The sad part is that the specs on that particular tablet probably outshine the CPi -- it's really just a matter of what you do with them

Just teasing. Yes maybe that is a too cheap machine. They had to
lower the price to less than half to trust them can sell it.

Thank God all is well with you.
You've build quite an impression with puppeee. There is still nothing that compares, and there may never be. You're like a Steve Jobs for the eee-books. And be assured: you are loved by many that use eee pc's.
Enjoy life, it is too short to waste on things you don't like .....

Ha, I was wrong. The memory spec (256mb) alone puts the CPi right out -- its max memory capacity is 256mb!
Also, Borders went "exit stage left" something like a year ago. They no longer exist at all... good thing Mom put a Kindle app on there.
...and Cruz Market? Really guys? (Would the REAL Android Market please stand up?) Seriously, I don't think Cruz Market has more than maybe fifty apps. It certainly isn't worth even going to.

Puppeee on tablets would be ideal.
However as I keep saying the only working tablet
is the overpriced Ipad . . . at the moment . . .
. . . despite the high price and cost to Chinese workers
Comes on instantly.
Yep no booting.
Is fast and simple to use.
Just works.
Perfect? No. Well it ain't open enough.
You get what you paid for and not one magnet cover more . . .
. . . is it a style of extortion or extortion with style?
Ibet Jemimah has one
A friend of mine was a computer expert who refused to use the
inferior mouse and GUI systems (GEM and Windows 1)
. . . they were 'just a fad'.
You know what happened. I know what happened and the gator in the swamp and mouse all know what happened.
Just to repeat tinkers sentiments:
Thanks again Jemimah. Live long and prosper.

wow jemimah with all the effort and advances you made for puppeee its a real shame you just tossed the towel in like that, I really respected the effort and work you put into it, I don't own a eeepc but I did read about it on your threads. Well I just hope you might find another project soon to work on. Looking forward to your next efforts.

Hello All
Here is most of Jemimah's website: puppeee.com.tar.gz
Username = puppy
Password = linux
i grabbed it via the WayBackMachine
and edited a lot of links to point to software packages that are still available.
On the home page are a couple of links: Puppeee Forum and Source Code
that point to what is available on the WayBackMachine.
I did not edit any of the links in the righthand column (sorry)
I hope that someone finds it useful

Haha, if you give an over-achieving INTJ an impossible task that can never be finished, something's gotta give at some point or the universe implodes.ttuuxxx wrote:wow jemimah with all the effort and advances you made for puppeee its a real shame you just tossed the towel in like that, I really respected the effort and work you put into it, I don't own a eeepc but I did read about it on your threads.

My current obsession is shopping, since I lost 30 pounds (courtesy of my post-puppeee obsession, weightloss) and nothing fits anymore I have to replace my entire wardrobe. However I am starting to get a little bored with that. I've been considering how I can contribute to Puppy in a less time consuming way that won't compromise my health/career/sanity/marriage.
I may end up just contributing to woof development if Barry will take my patches. I'd also be open to working on collaborative projects if there are any talented devs with good communication skills and a compatible vision.
I'm not good at being only moderately obsessed with something which is why I probably shouldn't work large projects by myself. I simply can't be the main person responsible to maintain a whole os, a whole website, and a whole package repo. It's insane.

insanity is doing the same thing over
and over and expecting different results

never done
Hey jemimah
I am glad all is well with you welcome back
I am not from Florida but lived in Florida from 1981 -1997
then returned two more years
in 2005 I really miss being on the lake fishing

Dept of In sanity here . . .It's insane.
The methods may be crazy but the results are brilliant . . .
Congratulations on the weight loss
Exercise? Diet? Drugs? Padlock on the cooky jar?
How do we come together and ensure no developer burnout
and the revival of Saluki which inspired so many . . . ?
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Puppy6
For Lucid
and Slacko
and for PARM (Puppy's must ambitious project)
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PARM
we have BarryK working for the team
as well as on Wary, Racy and Quirky
Iguleder too is working both at the forefront
and with scripts that will compile for the Puppy store of bones
Pemasu manages to add, polish with many tips gained from Jemimah
Technosaurus has his own blog that is inspiring with tips
http://bashismal.blogspot.com/
Ttuuxxx has shown tremendous support and updating of the 2 series Puppy and I have not even mentioned Fatdog and the puplets . . .
One method is the relay stick.
Basically one month, one developer.
As many ISO test releases (hopefully at least one)
as preferred and then on to the next obsessive . . .
How do we make that work?
Anyone like to trial a month for Puppy 6?
Woof Woof
Puppeee is a wonderful distribution and I thank Jemimah for putting forth the time and effort. It was the best distro for my Eee pc 900 at the time and everything worked so well.
The later Lucid Puppy, and now Slacko Puppy also works fine for my netbook. Every one who has an Eee pc should give it a try. I think the need for a separate Puppy derivative for the Eee pc is now no longer necessary, with such fine main editions.
