Last article is just hilarious, all DB in one short text.

Working enginners who don't know a dime but want their salary each month, etc.

But it looks like as if they still have a solide financial background - who can afford a team that walks in the wrong direction for months?

We don't yet know this. Most probably hippies had been hired to run Kickstarte and try to get money, and this was used as argument to get venture capital. As soon as venture capital will be over all can end in one day.

Traceroute and ping both OK but via http and a browser, their site http://www.digitalbolex.com/ loads an unorthodox file containing only "Content-Length: 0" ( a redirection except they haven't written a redirection into the header).

wget returns a 302 redirection.:

walker@localhost-Rev-1-0:~$ wget -p http://site.com
--2013-06-10 07:07:45--  http://site.com/
Resolving site.com (site.com)... 204.74.99.100
Connecting to site.com (site.com)|204.74.99.100|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302 Found

Wget retrieved the index.html file attached. Looks like the intended redirection could be to Site.com's default page for any of their hosted sites which haven't provided their own error page. (A good read if you're a propeller-head)

What's gone wrong could be anything: from somebody simply forgetting to renew a domain or a hosting service, all the way to messy code. [Or, yeah, failure to pay for the hosting.].In which case, perhaps, if DigitalBolex pay Site.com, then their index.php header will get populated with its restored redirection via some sort of php insert, like:

<?php
if ($DigitalBolex Payment > $39.95) {
echo "redirecting to www.digitalbolex.com's path at site.com";
} else {
echo "redirect to www.site.com";
}
?>

;-) Maybe somebody should tell them (site.com or Digitalbolex).

Or maybe Digitalbolex could just pay their webmaster...

I suggest to check their Facebook and Twitter

Their posts looks very strange, like statements that their server is working now.

For anyone interested, they have images off the camera up on their site today.

Yes, as usual it is amazing text.

This was the first time we could hold the camera and see the display live.

Hmm.

While the top screen was working, we couldn’t yet record because the sensor clock and the frame buffer were running out of sync. This was because they were writing new firmware for 24fps instead of 32. They expected to have this completed the next day.

Why they wrote firmware for 32fps in first hand?

When the camera work (year 2154) - 32 fps become the new standard. :-)

OK, Sorry my bad. I forgot that this hippies are real visionaries.

@eatstoomuchjam

Yes, if you look few post above you'll find this link :-) And later discussion of hippies post :-)

Worst thing is that people do not understand that they could make this stills images using same industrial camera they used before. In fact they could show them at any time even more than year ago.

This is my favorite soap opera

but why take so long to do so?

May be they just have nothing else to show.

Anyone want to sell their Kickstarter slot? I'll take it.
