| How much longer will we suffer from hunger? |
[Feb. 17th, 2008|09:55 am] |
And when the lamb opened the
Next two seals,
We saw the souls,
We saw the martyrs,
We heard them crying,
We heard them shouting,
They were dressed in white,
They'd been told to wait.
For those who wonder what the status of this LiveJounal account is, I'll give you an update. I post in my blog frequently and rarely post here since the podcast has ceased. However, I still use this account almost daily to read LJ and comment. So while I no longer post here, I still read LJ. Thus if you are on my friend's list, I am reading your LJ. Please take this into consideration when updating your friend's list. Thank you.
And when the lamb opened the seventh seal,
Silence covered the sky. |

| A New Thelemic Announcement List |
[Feb. 11th, 2007|05:54 pm] |
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
 As a service to the Thelemic & occult community, I have started a Thelemic announcement mailing list called HRILIU. It will only come out a few times a month, if that, and will contain subjects selected by me that have relevance to the Thelemic community; these issues include things like new publications, music, events, and other points of interest. This mailing list is sponsored by the Thelema Coast to Coast podcast, Treasure House of Pearls blog, and Luxor Press, Inc. I am using a professional mailing service so your email is not being disclosed to others or used in any inappropriate way.
Follow the following link to go to the subscription page and subscribe. It is free, informative, and easy. If you want to unsubscribe later, you can do so at the same URL or at the bottom of each mailing will be an unsubscribe link.
http://www.thelema.nu/hriliu/
If you have questions regarding the mailing list, you can email me directly. Also, if you have any suggestions for content to be in the announcement list, feel free to email it to me at jcrow {at} thelema.nu. I hope you enjoy the mailing list!
Love is the law, love under will. |

| Windows Hosting Recommendation |
[Jan. 22nd, 2007|10:05 am] |
I am going to be moving two websites I have that are developed on Windows 2003. I am very unhappy with the current hosting provider. Can anyone recommend a good hosting company that has Win2003 support?
Thanks. |

| Comments on the Treasure House of Pearls |
[Dec. 11th, 2006|06:59 pm] |
|
Over the last few days I have had a number of posts that have generated significant discussion. I am pleased about this. However, some have complained that the threading in WordPress is not the clearest and that they have, sometimes, lost their place in the discussion. Also there is the fact that the syndication on LJ only has the main posts but not the comments. As I have said before, I strive to give solutions when I can and as a result, I have used WordPress’ comment RSS feed to make another LJ comment thread. The profile is here and you can subscribe to the comment thread here. That way you will see the comments as they are approved and posted.
WARNING: The RSS feed moves fast and any comments made in reply to an RSS feed post on LJ will be lost. To reply to a comment and have it included in the discussion, please click on the link at the top of the feed entry. This will take you right to the comment on the blog where you can respond directly. Again, you must respond on the blog itself for the comment to be saved. Also, it is easier if you become a registered user on the blog here. That way when you reply, all your data fields will be filled out. It makes it as easy as replying on LJ.
I look forward to everyone’s participation. |

| Finally! |
[Nov. 12th, 2006|01:45 pm] |
My email is back up and so is my website.
The Damage:
2.5 days of email lost
All my themes, files, customizations, etc. to WordPad lost
All my uploaded files lost (most I have been able to resurrect or have backups)
I have no confidence in my hosting company
The Silver Lining:
No blog posts or comments lost (the one backup they could get was my WordPad DB)
I am redesigning the look of my blog
Here is the company's explanation:
During the transfer of the server that hosts your account, we experienced a major hardware failure of the main hard disks as well as of some of the hard disks storing account backups. Unfortunately, the backup hard disk containing your account was among the damaged ones.
Our most experienced system administrators worked extremely hard together with the data center head manager to recover data from the broken disks. Despite all their efforts, most probably we will not be able to recover any data from those disks. Our administrators will keep trying until we exhaust the last possible resource to bring your website back online. So far only the databases have been recovered.
The SiteGround Terms of Use include a provision according to which we must compensate you as a customer for any downtime of your website. This compensation is limited to the fees you have paid for the time your website was down. In this particular case, the downtime was caused by circumstances beyond anyone’s control. Hardware failures cannot be predicted. Yet, we certainly hoped to avoid situations as the current one by migrating your account to new and better hardware.
We feel really bad when both our customers and we have to suffer losses due to circumstances beyond our control, such as hard disk failures. That is why, we would like to do our best not only in trying to repair the damage of the hardware failure, but also in compensating you for the downtime. If you would like to keep your account with us, we will offer you one year of free hosting services. This is our way to say thank you for sticking to us even in the hardest moments. If you decide to move your account away, though, we will respect your decision and will issue a refund on the unused months of pre-paid service.
The problem with this explanation is that it is bogus. Hard drive failures are common and that is why any responsible company has mechanisms to compensate including RAID, mirrors and multiple backup sites. The fact that SiteGround did not take these precautions is deeply concerning. I have not decided what I am going to do, find get a refund and find a new host or take the free year. The whole experience is disappointing. It may be a little while before the blog is exactly as I want it but it is up right now. I can also receive email. If you sent anything to me over the last 3 days, please resend it as I probably did not get it. Thanks. |

| Still Down... |
[Nov. 11th, 2006|06:27 am] |
|
SiteGround still has not resurrected my website, and more importantly, my email. I assure you I have been going back and forth with them letting them know how much of an inconvenience this is. |
|
|
| ISP Annoyance |
[Nov. 10th, 2006|10:40 am] |
The ISP that hosts thelema.nu is having server problems. This has caused my website and email to become unavailable at this time. I have no idea if my mail is being queued or just bounced. If you have to send me email, use my alternate address jcrow@mindspring.com.
Update: Mail will bounce. I may or may not get it depending on how long the sender's ISP server retries. I do not recommend the ISP SiteGround.com! |

| Reminder |
[Oct. 11th, 2006|07:14 pm] |
I rarely post to LiveJournal except for podcast announcements. If you wish for my blog, The Treasure House of Pearls, to be on your friends list, click this link and then click add. This will add the RSS feed to your friends list. Also if you want to reply to a post, I suggest doing so on the actual website because the in the RSS feed entry is deleted from LJ after a while.
You can also click here, enter your email address on the right side and my website will email you when I post.
If there are any issues, please let me know. |
