I can't get in at my favorite site (besides this one, ha). Grrrrrr. I know that it is still there, as I managed to get in for about a minute, but when I clicked the back button it was gone again. "Cannot find server." This is a bigger worry for me than it would seem, because this site ran out of funding fully a year ago right after a deal fell through. It's a community site and even though it's degenerated a lot and is mostly fighting now, still I like to go there and keep in touch and answer questions if I can. The last time it went down like this, the webmaster had deleted a bunch of stuff and rebooted the server and everybody panicked, thinking it was gone for good, because he couldn't get it to come back up. Thankfully, it did, but now...

My last mail from there is around noon, the last post was from around 3 PM; some others are having trouble getting in too, as they posted in the Yahoo! Club. I'm hoping he just rebooted again and gets it up later. (No dirty thoughts.) But I always have to keep my fingers crossed because that thing is running on fumes by now!

I hate it when the Net isn't working as it should be...you would think in this day and age we'd have the cure for File Not Found, wouldn't you? I mean, we've traveled into space, yet the click to the next webpage is often torture!

(6:17, site still not coming up...)

On another note, I just got several more mails and two more batches of gift points on that article of mine. ! Wow, for posting it almost on a whim it sure is getting good notice! I WISH I had more guts!! By the time I make myself say thank you nobody who rated me will even remember who I am. Aaagggggghhhh!!

I need a hobby. :)

(Wow, nobody's seen this journal and come along to gripe at me yet! ^_^ If you can tell me what's wrong with this or how I may improve it, The H. P. Lovecraft Word Search!, then please do!)
