Impactnet. Grah.
I hate Impact’s service as a dialup ISP. It is slow. Ssssllloooowwww. Sometimes I just get so exasperated that I hang up and use a prepaid internet card instead, which is much, much faster. And when a prepaid ISP is faster than a subscriber account, you know something’s wrong. I know I’m getting it as [...]
Cantata? Or Web Awards?
The Philippine Web Awards is on Friday, and I got free tickets since FB4F is a finalist. But we have choir practice for our upcoming Christmas cantata at the same time, plus elections for the new deacons and elders of our church. I was not at peace over that, so I did a little praying [...]
SoulfulHunk
Have you ever seen such a blatantly tactless display of egocentric provocation as this? This “SoulfulHunk” character is constantly plaguing Pinoyexchange with his indiscreet pretensions to superiority and his not-too-subtle attempts at subverting the message board’s policies. Arguing or debating with him on any level of sapience or intelligibility doesn’t work, because he has already [...]
The Pain
Is it just me, or is every free service on the Internet undergoing some sort of upgrade or revision at the same time? So far: Geocities, Blogger, and Hypermart have had downtimes and upgraded/modified/repaired their services, almost simultaneously. Well, things seem to be settling down again. Let’s hope this blog entry updates without a hitch. [...]
Hypermart again
Well, here I am back on Hypermart, riding on a folder in Simplesight. I guess this is home for now. Gosh, all I seem to blog about nowadays is my Quest for a Free Web Host.
The Spaceports Bubble Bursts
Argh. After four days, the Spaceports bubble has burst. I can’t use Namezero to redirect to the index.shtml page here on the CGI-BIN server; instead I have to make a meta-redirect page on my space in Luna and have it forward to this page. That’s too much of a workaround to deal with when you [...]
Spaceports Troubles
I’m having some trouble linking to graphics on my site. Specifically, the title of my ALX guestbook, which I’ve stored in an images folder in my cgi-bin account, then linked to from the ALX control panel, using what I think should be the proper paths listed in http://io.spaceports.com/~wysardry/cgi-bin/paths.htm. Hmmm, maybe if I use my Luna [...]
On Spaceports
Okay, I’ve moved to Spaceports. Blogger itself is having some network trouble, but barring that, my revised web-presence seems to be falling together quite nicely. My old Geocities space will become A Brief History of Brownpau, a site archive for my old web-work, and I’ll remove think! from Simplesight with the next revision. Now I’ll [...]
Geocities Still Considered Dangerous
Fellow Geocities-based Bloggers, here’s the fix for your FTP woes: Simply check the “No File Rename” option in your blog settings. You’ll be able to upload without a hitch. However, there’s a slightly higher risk that the transfer will abort mid-upload and mess up the actual blog file. It works this way: Normally, Blogger first [...]
Geocities Considered Dangerous
Oh, great. Now GeoCities is causing problems with Blogger. Now I’m definitely moving. I shall disappear for a few weeks. And this page will disappear soon, too. Many things shall change.
