I decided to remove all those puzzlecrowd links, I think most of them stopped working after a server crash years ago. Here is the link to the main puzzlecrowd page.

  1. @Kirk: Well, as long as U don't remove the puzzle crowd links to the Upload Runtpuz and Parking Garage pages. M&A needs them, to publish a runt puzzle here.
    [So far, they still seem to be workin, OK.]

    And thanx, for the new blog section.

    @M&A - I was only removing the link text from the blog pages. Most of them give a 404 - not found error. Puzzlecrowd.com is still there for you.

    PS to @Teedmn. You commented that you solve NYTX on down home. Where do find the .puz files? I remember a fuss a few years back about them no longer being published, back before I subscribed.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I had to download Crossword Scraper onto my computer as an add-on. When I open the NYTimes crossword, I hit play and then go to the puzzle-shaped icon and choose Crossword Scraper and save as a .puz file.

      Delete
    2. Thanks for the tip. I see that this is a Chrome add on extension. So far I am sticking to the default Safari browser on my new laptop. I will remember this in case I install Chrome in the future.

      Delete
    3. If you ever do, once you have the .Puz file, you go to http://puzzlecrowd.com:8080/CrowdSource/ to load it into Down Home.

    1. Hi M&A, I have forwarded your msg to Ralph via email. Hopefully he comes to the rescue.

      I was thinking that the puzzle crowd upload puz function is all you need, but it looks like Ralph has added some extra magic for you to publish runtz and save the url to post.

    2. I am deleting the comments with parking garage urls to keep looky loos away. @M&A good luck finding your solution. Google has plenty of info about sharing files between computers. That could be your simplest way forward.

  157. M&A are you trying to communicate privately with Kirk without having to use email? I recall that I set this up so we could exchange messages. I am no longer working at sanskritlibrary.com so you shouldn't be using the program. What probably happened is that sanskritlibrary.com was down for a while (nothing to do with me) and then came back up.
    It has been years since I did anything with sanskritlibrary.com and don't want to risk breaking it.

    1. No. I was using the parking garage to transfer runtpuz urls from my old computer, where I build the puzs, to a newer computer, where I’m still allowed to post stuff to this blog.
      The old computer just hangs up, when I try to post. You are correct, about the original purpose of the parking garage.
      I did tell you I was using it for this newer purpose, a couple of years ago.
      So, what now?
      Thanx,

    2. @ralph, I was just trying to help diagnose the problem, so opened the sinskritlibrary page as mentioned by M&A, to see what it did.

      Delete
    3. @M&A, what is the issue with the blog not working on your old computer? Is it because you have an old browser on an old OS or is it related to blogger/google ids? I recall you were having a devil of a time getting using your blog profile on your new computer. Could you set up file sharing between your 2 computers, or share files on iCloud? This doesn't sound like a problem for Ralph.

      Delete
    4. yep. Probably nobody’s problem to work out, other than mine. Easiest solution is to get a new computer that all the websites will still speak to.
      Will look into it all, but they now design apple computer programs to be mighty complex/cryptic, I’ve noticed…
      @r.alph - per yer instructions, I will cease fire on usin the sanskrit parking garage.
      All this may result then in a runtpuz lull, for a (hopefully short) while.

    Anyhoo, here's a runt. Might not be able to get things back to a daily postin basis, for a while, tho. Maybe just as well, since friend BobK. ain't been able to rejoin us, yet...

    @BobK, glad you are back.

    @M&A, if both of your computers are Apple based, you should be able to easily share between them with iCloud. You could store the runt urls in Notes. Enable Notes in your iCloud settings, and voila! Apologies for the unsolicited advice, but will offer any help I can.
