The Archive is down

Sorry, Amarië, but I have to

No idea what they are singing about (apart from fish) but those last few pics in the vid- well I can certainly see the similarities with Scots!

Worst part is, I have actually lived at one of those locations in the song.

A drum kit?

Yes, Orwell dear. I used to live in a drum kit. Two rooms and a kitchen. *ba dum tsssh! (Punch line drum)* *




* This might be almost funny if you guys too refer to the drums and percussion in a band as the kitchen department.

Thank you very much to the few people who donated recently! Due to some very generous members we now have enough money in the bank, so to speak, to extend our domain name and lack of ads to June 2013. There's only a little bit left over but since we won't have to worry about renewing for over a year that's not a big deal. Of course, if anyone wants to contribute now that would be very much appreciated (it'll just go into the account until we need to "make a withdrawal"), but it's not urgent. I'll post another update about finances next year when it comes up again.

Once again, thank you to everyone who helps pay for the site and to everyone who posts here and helps keep the site alive! You're the best.

I can't access the Old Archive, Eldo.... Is it GONE? I thought at some stage I might go and collect up all Wisey's old channellings - I am fond of them --- but they're GONE!

Lucky for you then Orwell that Pretty in conjunction with Pure Publications published them here- I am sure such will be Wisey's relief at their safety that he will overlook the lack of any payment or copyright enfringments on the part of Pure Publications.

I think this was done before there was a Creative Corner- you might want to move the thread to there Eldo when you get a moment.

Thank ye... I do remember now!

I moved the thread for you, Petty, although you can do that too, you know.

As for the archive, I had been waiting to see if Taz would be able to bring it back online, but seeing as he seems more interested in selling the other site outright, I'm not holding my breath. I can still probably find somewhere else to host the archive if people are interested, but that's contingent on the earlier offer I received still being open (it probably is but I'd need to check).

E-mail him and ask how things are going. Or I can if you prefer.

There is a subtle, but notable difference Eldo between having the power to do a thing and knowing what the hell you are doing. I only have the former.

I think making and raising kids probably falls under this category, which explains a whole hell of a lot.
My favorite quote of all time comes from a child psychologist, I don't know who, unfortunately:

"Despite their parent's best efforts, kids usually come out okay."

or Philip Larkins poem
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.

I did my sixth Year English dissertation on Larkin. Many moons ago.

Didn't know about Larkin - his rhyme pattern sounds like Dr. Seuss.

If you don't mind, that would be great. I don't want to seem pushy, especially since I don't think I've ever talked to Taz except about Forumshire/Archive matters. (Plus, you're the Ambassador. )

Quite right Eldo- about time you made her work for her, um, whatever it is Ambassadors work for. Ferrero rocher?

I would do dastardly deeds for chocolate.

You should probably not have said that out loud Mrrs Figgs where Orwell might here it. I suspect it may turn out the Banks Family Business include a chocolate shop, and you know how close he is to the Bankses. {{{Unless of course that is your cuning plan Mrs Figg to lure him back from his imminentish date with Kafria}}}}

I'm family friends with a local tech guy who hosted my dads website and he passed the details on to me so if you get the msql database but can't find any hosting gdrop me a line Eldo

((((( yes he is flirting a bit too much with Kafria for my liking))))) I extra encryptonized it so he cant read it hehe!

Thanks, Ally! Taz sent me the SQL database a while back (and a couple other people should have backup copies just in case anything happens to my hard drive) so we're good to go on that front. If we need a hosting solution I'll keep your offer in mind.

I'm not sure I feel comfortable about two women fighting over me {{{note to self: }}} --- but it sure beats one woman fighting with me...
