On December 28th, 2005 - a day which will live in anonymity - OSNews published an editorial of mine urging hobby and research operating system developers to implement Project UDI, because otherwise we (the small/ non-mainstream/ hobby/research OS community) would always wind up stuck with mutually incompatible sets of drivers for doing the same exact things. I also proclaimed that I would implement UDI for my own operating system kernel. Bad decision.

Hiya all.
First of all, the archive is indeed corrupted. Sourceforge seems to eat every tarball I upload to them. I sent a new one to no avail. Anyone know a better hosting site for a broke high-school senior's coding projects? It also ate my kernel release.
nick8325's fixed mirror at http://www.8325.org/EDI-3.4.tar.bz2 works. I don't know what I'd do without kind guys like Nick. http://www.mytempdir.com/1092730 will also work. I don't know what to do about the official link in the article.
I hate Sourceforge. They never remember my password correctly, and now they require that everyone dos2unix (or the reverse?) source tarballs.
This is not at all what I hoped for the public introduction and release of EDI.
