@anglatzara , any thoughts?  @GV ?

No thoughts or comments. I have given you all I have and I have no clues about how to retrieve stuff that's still missing.

@anglatzara If you have anything else re Talossa in digital format, please send it to me.  If in physical form, if you could scan same and send it on to me, it would be greatly appreciated.

The final authority on this is MPF.  I will kick this ball to him for now.

seems, i missed a serious fun here. and i still do not understand, what is the problem about. is king-for-life of any importance to the stability and life of talossa? honestly, no. is king-for-life of any importance to fundaments of talossa? again, no. king-for-life is just one possibility of many, and talossans have democratically chosen some other issue. or, did not they, did i get smth wrong?

i can imagine people living in a representative democracy to be attracted to this king-thing, allusively a symbol of stability and duration, but it is just a façade, which may hold no content but rotten one. any permanent political position without the possibility to enforce to account for actions is dangerous.

we have now in czechia the pseudo-king serving as a president, who thinks that he is special and so so important, that he ignores not only the call of reason but also laws of the country (and our constitution was written by naïve guys who never assumed this may happen one day. does it ring a bell to you, fellow talossans?). luckily, we'll get rid of him in two years in the new elections, cos he is no real king. and that's a good thing.

renewable kingship is for me enough peculiarly talossan too, plus, it satisfies my sense for fair play.

See about joining the Free Democrats, then.  :-)

At about the time when the hereditary aspect of the monarchy was quashed in August 2020 (a year ago, believe it or not), the King disappeared from Witt for two months.

In October 2020, I made a welfare-check-phone-call and established he was not only healthy, but was also free of any crises which might have precluded him doing Talossa.  Yes, he said work was saddling him down, but from August to October 2020, he was nowhere to be found.

It was soon after my welfare-check to the King in October 2020 he appointed Alexander Davinescu as Regent.  Alexander for personal reasons was repugnant to many on the Left, and his appointment as Regent by the King was seen by many as a middle finger and an insult.

To Alexander's eternal credit, he was a very good regent: he performed his legal and ceremonial duties and maintained the high level of Talossan activity and enthusiasm he has maintained since he came to us in 2006.

There is more to tell, but this should be a good starting place.

Again, the Free Democrats are always welcoming of new people.

Would you consider an expansion of the PermUnderSec role to that of Permanent Under Secretary for European & African Relations? Still with the same duties currently discussed for Videoconferencing, but leaves the position open for future expansion without a name change

Consider it done.

...as GV is incapable of actually showing up for a Europe/Africa videoconference.

So we're talking about two different things.  The file Witt2.7z is the archive that I made of the old Kingdom Witt.  It sounds like you aren't able to really open it and use it, which is too bad.  It's more than a gig when uncompressed, so you'll need some space to unzip it.

But did you also get the Republic Witt archive from Danihel?  He says he sent it to you.  Can you open that?

Downloaded, opened, and in good working order from what I can tell.  This archive covers the demise of this forum in 2008 back to November 2004.  The Lytheria Codex covers the inception (FEb 2003) through May 2004.  We are missing posts from June 2004 through about mid-November, but this is not Danihel's fault.  MANY THANKS to him!!

Danihel, please upload your copy of this archive to www.libraryoftalossa.com - You should still have access to that GoogleDrive.  Again, a thousand thanks and many apologies to all for dropping the ball on this and to AD who got me going on this again.

GV, RArchivist

The file Witt2.7z is on libraryoftalossa.com already as it turns out.  Now that I recall, I downloaded it, but am now in the process of removing it from my computer entirely.

I had put it to Trash, but when I put it back to Desktop, the 'bird' process kicked in, and my fan started spinning madly.

Not AD's fault!  His work was and is beautiful.  The archive opened beautifully, but my machine cannot work with the resultant folders, but again, not AD's fault.

My cheapo MacMini cannot handle the complicated file structure, and I'm nearly maxed out on disk space as it is.  The Empty-Trash progress dialog indicated more than 50,000 individual items!

Thank you!  @GV , did you add them to the archive?

Let me get to that...

Great!  Thanks!

I will get to it...in time.  lol

Great!  I'll check in again soon, since I know you have a lot going on.

Hee, hee...  Dowload of the compressed file went great, and the archive opened with no issue. 

Uploading this file on my 2014 Mac Mini with no eGPU is more than my meagre machine can take.  Which means I will need to ask you to upload at least the compressed file to the GoogleDrive Library of Talossa at www.libraryoftalossa.com

Thank you so much for your work on this.  My fancy image formats and other means of archiving I will do myself, but once your archive is up on that GoogleDrive, others can download it.

HUGE thanks to you for your work!

I'm more than happy to hop in on a Zoom too

Yikes.  I'll have to put one together for MinDefence very soon.  I keep having to postpone the ones I keep scheduling.

Thx

Sorry, Mencei, but I'm impatient and paranoid about forgetting to vote.

Për to all bills.
