Consider:

"It is better to be drunk with loss and to beat the ground, than to let the deeper things gradually escape."

- I. Compton-Burnett, letter to Francis King (1969)

"Cynical realism – it is the intelligent man’s best excuse for doing nothing in an intolerable situation."

- Aldous Huxley, "Time Must Have a Stop"

Technical Difficulties

For the second week in a row, the parent magazine of this web log, Just Above Sunset will not publish on time. I will be sending the following message to my hosting service, Lycos-Tripod.
For the second week in a row I cannot publish my weekly magazine. On top of the three week outage in December, now this.

I reach "site builder" and when I clink on my URL - http://www.justabovesunset.com/ - I receive this message. "An error has interrupted communication between your browser and the web site server. Internal errors can have many causes."

Nothing I can do, logging on again, numerous reboots, warm and cold, fixes this. I cannot publish, again. And I am paying a monthly fee for your "professional" package and have upgraded for addition disk space and bandwidth.

You FIX IT.

I am about the send a broadcast email to my hundreds of subscribers asking, of those that are attorneys, if any of them would help me take legal action against Lycos-Tripod. This is totally unacceptable.

The total incompetence of Lycos is something I will broadcast to my readers around the country and in Europe. And I dare you to countersue me for my actions.
Of course I cannot send this until Monday morning, when their support staff reactivates the links that accept messages.

I urge any readers of this web log to never, under any circumstances, have any dealings with Tripod, Lycos or its trademark holder, Carnegie-Mellon University. Avoid any site associated with any of them.

I will be spending the rest of this evening trying to find workarounds for their problems.

If I do not find any solutions I will consider the parent magazine of this web log, Just Above Sunset to be dead. I will purchase a new URL and publish under a different name for the magazine with another hosting service.
