See above, has his site gone down? Hopefully temporarily.

Just checked and it’s still there.

All fine here too

 

[JazzJPH]

It's working fine for me

 

[ShinySideUp]

Odd, it's back for me too now. Must have been a glitch in the server.

Just be aware that not all on that site is original.

Is there an original version kicking around?

Is there an original version kicking around?

if you read the preface, anything that is not Dave Cushman's will be a different text colour or clearly indicated as Rogers or others.

Great thanks, all the pages signed *Roger Patterson* are written by him then (the font change also the clue).

Also be aware that there are a lot of inaccuracies on that site.

In theory, all of Roger Pattersons stuff is in a different colour but I'm not convinced it is.

 

[Poly Hive]

Nor am I because it's not and it's only since a few commentated on it that he "changed his ways" but is the first material he altered highlighted? I dinna think so.

Right from the off I put my comments in a different colour when I based my site on his quite extraordinary hand-coded site.

There are a few .. mainly where things have changed over the years and it is now getting a little skewed towards Roger's ideas of beekeeping but, Dave was always incredibly impartial .. It's an amazingly comprehensive encyclopedia of all things beekeeping and as a resource I'm glad that it is being maintained. I think most (if not all) of Dave Cushman's words are still there with additional material from Roger and updates - It really is a testament to Dave Cushman who started putting it together long before computer programmes were able to do all the coding for you.

If you want to find an old version of a page, or see if/when changes have been made, you can try the Wayback Machine: https://archive.org/web/

A bit like this forum then.....
.... and all the cut and paste books on how to keep bees!

Nigel is probably writing one!

Everything I've read which isn't a lot since he took it over, I've found annotated with his changes. Shame.

Everything Internet mounted has a TTD point, not necessarily set by the
creator. In all that work Dave did he never grasped that concept as like
many of that time, and even some still today, his focus was on "build it
and they will come" - putting aside or choosing to ignore the evolving
technicalities which would at sometime swamp the work.
Even the briefest of looks into WBJ.com will well display the losses of many
a barebones HTML site/page through not grasping the technology.
I cannot see how "Roger" could have put his view any clearer. A view
it reads as Dave endorsing.

This rhetoric is not understandable the mods need to silence it!

I still use Dave Cushmans site as a point of reference it can be handy sometimes.As with every site it's not 100% accurate but there are other sites that it can be checked against.When I first started beekeeping the plans and information were a great help.
