> July 24, 2003 - Hi everybody! In about two weeks, which would
> be about August 8, we will be moving things around a little,
> and putting all the Doctor Fun files into the /public/html
> directory tree on ibiblio. The name of the root directory will
> still be "/Dave" in order not to break a gazillion (I wish)
> bookmarks and links, but now the rest of the Doctor Fun files
> will actually hang off the /Dave directory and there will be
> no more wacky recursive symbolic links between the /Dave
> directory and the /ftp directories. Ftp access to Doctor Fun
> on ibiblio will be discontinued. At last look, we were getting
> about 90 ftp transactions per day compared to about 40K http
> transactions in the /Dr-Fun directory. If you are one of those
> 90 transactions, I apologize, and hope you will be able to get
> the file through http. Keep in mind some mirror sites may
> continue to run ftp, and there's nothing wrong with that - it
> just doesn't seem to be the right place for it at ibiblio
> anymore (ftp access at ibiblio is mostly geared to software
> distros and stuff like that). Also, if you are reading the
> pages through the recursive directory /Dave/Dr-Fun/html...,
> that particular "copy" of the html directory will disappear,
> but it was never really there to begin with.
>
> If you have a mirror site, you will need to use rsync to get
> your daily updates. I don't know that much about this business
> myself, having never had to set up a mirror site (I rely so
> much on the kindness of strangers...), but I'm told it's
> pretty easy to do, and light on the bandwidth and all those
> good things, etc. A sample command for mirroring Doctor Fun
> would be:
>
> $ rsync -av ibiblio.org::Dr-Fun/ /path/to/local/mirror/dir
>
> The rsync man page is here.
>
> I am hopeful that the mirror sites that are updating (some
> seem to be a little sporadic, but I appreciate the thought)
> will continue to mirror using rsync. There might be other ways
> to do it using http, but that is up to you.
>
> If you are not mirroring Doctor Fun and are simply one of my
> cherished readers, you will not see any change at all.
>
> Thanks ot Adrianne at ibiblio for helping me with this.
> Adrianne also set up a second area for some of the files on
> the /Dr-Fun tree. I will be moving some of the extraneous
> stuff, like the running pictures to this area so that mirror
> sites don't need to pick these things up if all they want is
> the cartoons. In fact, I might add more silly things that
> don't belong under the /Dr-Fun directory and everybody will be
> a winner.
>
> July 21, 2003
> * Stay tuned for an announcement about mirroring and Doctor
> Fun file locations. We are either going to move to using
> rsync, and put all the Doctor Fun files in the html branch
> of ibiblio (meaning ftp access goes away), or put the html
> files in the /Dave/Dr-Fun directory so that this hated
> recursive symbolic link that makes people think the files
> aren't updating goes away. If you have an opinion about
> this, let me know. Thanks.
> * Tardy on the logo again.
> * Happy Birthday, Mom!
>
> July 9, 2003, I've eliminated the bizarro linkage between the
> /html file under /Dr-Fun/html and /Dr-Fun, which maybe used to
> be useful but now causes nothing but problems. If this has

> something, I'm not sure what.
>
> July 1, 2003, for no particularly good reason other than to
> have a news item, and because I suppose it keeps me fit to
> draw more cartoons, I've updated the running pictures to

> Not much of an explanation for either of them, except you can

> June 16, 2003, haven't forgot the the logo - busy, busy -

> June 9, 2003, due to a little scheduling problem, I didn't

> New logo soon.
>
> June 6, 2003, next Monday's cartoon will be updated late,
> probably Monday afternoon my time, but there will be new

> What the [DEL: fu :DEL] heck is Doctor Fun?
>
> Doctor Fun is a cartoon. Not all Doctor Funs may be suitable
> for children and some childlike adults. There's a new Doctor
> Fun every weekday. Doctor Fun is hosted by ibiblio, the
> public's library and digital archive, at the University of
> North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Doctor Fun first appeared on the
> Internet in 1993, and has been at ibiblio (ibiblio has had
> other names, including SunSITE and Metalab) since 1994. What
> Doctor Fun is, for the literal-minded, is a 640 x 480 pixel
> 24-bit color JPEG file. Doctor Fun has the dubious distinction
> of being the first web cartoon. Doctor Fun was not, however,
> the first cartoon on the Internet.
>
> I still don't get it. Why do they let you ...? You're not ...?
> But ...?
>
> Never you mind. Look - there's no reason for Doctor Fun to
> even exist, but here it is.
>
> Thanks! Now that I know all that, I want to read the latest
> Doctor Fun cartoon!

> Here is the latest cartoon. If you'd like to always link to

> That wasn't really a question, was it? If you didn't
> particularly like whatever the latest Doctor Fun cartoon
> happened to be, perhaps you are still Doctor Fun-curious and
> would like to see some Doctor Funs that other people seem to
> like a lot. Here's a mix of cartoons that other people,
> perhaps like you, seemed to enjoy. These cartoons actually got
> some hits, or I actually got some e-mail about them, or both.

> You can send a smaller version of a selected number of Doctor

> May 12, 2003, Doctor Fun is still on break, but as promised,

> May 5, 2003, Doctor Fun is on break this week. As usual, there

> April 28, 2003, ok, probably a two-week break starting next

> Well, this past weekend, anyway. What were the chances of

> * And that's not all the excitement. Just like last year but

> + My "corner office near the A-level stacks" in the
> Reg. I do have a day job.
> + The first comic on the Internet: Hans Bjordahl's
> "Where the Buffalo Roam"
> + The first home of Doctor Fun: Keith Waclena's
> computer "neuromancer". (Sorry, this is the best
> picture I have.)
> + The Bill Gates cake. This was actually the "screen"
> for a cake that was shaped like a computer monitor. I
> heard he didn't eat any of the cake but he kept the
> screen. (There's more to this than meets the eye;
> this was drawn when Microsoft Windows was still

> 95; the screen is Microsoft's within-Word web browser
> plug-in; the Doctor Fun pose is a reference to an
> Easter egg that was hidden in Windows 3.x.)
> + The book Amy mentioned that I was reading was "The
> Earth Dwellers: Adventures in the Land of Ants", by
> Erich Hoyt.
> * Not only that, but there are some Doctor Fun cartoons on

> October 29, 2002 Trick-or-treat! We found another mirror site.
> This time it's Yale Medical School. Yay for Yale! Go Bulldogs!
> Actually it looks like they're mirroring most or all of
> ibiblio and Doctor Fun is just part of this mix.
> Never-the-less, you can get the latest Doctor Fun, or the
> Doctor Fun Page, from gnujake.med.yale.edu.
>
> October 28, 2002 A slightly less confusing home page and some
> news on the book (yes, there is a book, no, it won't be here
> by Christmas) is coming. I'm posting this here to make me
> actually do it sometime soon.
>
> September 23, 2002 Thanks to Nicholas Barnard, who runs the
> Doctor Fun mailing list, you can also subscribe to get the
> latest Doctor Fun logo whenever it updates.
>
> September 16, 2002 - we're back. No breaks until maybe
> Thanksgiving (except for unexpected breaks) - yay!
>
> Also, new mirror discovered! This one in Austria. They are
> mirroring the cartoons but not the pages, but that's ok. Get
> the latest Doctor Fun or browse the Doctor Fun files at the
> Vienna University of Technology.
>
> August 13, 2002 Mirror News! I've been told the SUNET mirror
> for Doctor Fun in Sweden is active again, and I've corrected
> the links to the mirror at the Manchester University in Great
> Britain. Thanks to both these places for their continuing
> support.

> May 20, 2002 The Doctor Fun book is still in the works, in
> color, and all that. I should have the cover art ready for you

> May 3, 2002, Virus warning: My e-mail addresses from ibiblio,
> including old ones that I don't even use anymore, are cropping
> up on this Klez or Exploit-MIME virii that are going around. I
> have nothing to do with these messages, other than someone has
> hijacked my e-mail address as the return. Most likely, the
> people sending them are unaware that their computers are
> infected, so it's bad both ways. I've been receiving these
> things myself, supposedly from me! It is a continual
> aggravation.
