[ale] REVISED (453MB) Pixieo of Central MTG GPG prez by David Tomaschik available

Sun Mar 20 23:20:21 EDT 2011

I re-encoded the Pixieo of David's GPG presentation and
reposted the much more sensible 453MB file to my site
under the identical file name, replacing the portly 1.8GB
version.  I also provided and MD5 this time:

<http://arxion.net/ale/ale-20110317-gpg-tomaschik.mp4>
<http://arxion.net/ale/ale-20110317-gpg.md5>

With huge apologies for redundant efforts, I would really
prefer to be distributing the lower overhead version and
ask those of you who are providing mirrors and torrents
(Pat, Jim, Ron and Steve)  to please replace the oversized
file with the new version as well.

If you could then let me know (off list) when you have'
updated to the smaller file I'll put the URL back up on
the ALE web site meeting notice.

Again, very sorry for the redundant efforts (and redundant
email threads), but I'm still working on the process down
for doing these and I got in a bit of rush to post this.

Jim Kinney and I are also mapping out a consistent
file structure for the ALE.org site where we can host
presentation pixieos as more permanent [torrent] archives.

peace
