Gordon,

Trying to remember,--

1. Terminology. An easy to understand source of computer-speak definitions. Example: what does "VIRAL" mean in computer talk? Many use the terms "viral," and "viral marketing." I have yet to see definitions that would be applied to computer use. I'm sure the definition in my Merriam Webster's Dictionary is NOT what computer folks have in mind.

2. THINGS AIN'T ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM. We might set up a website for a particular purpose or use. However, visitors might have other wants instead. Be nimble and frugal and brief and willing to change.

Hope this is the kind of stuff you seek.

Mary

P. S.
I had a problem with the forum and site this afternoon. (3:00 p.m.-ish.) Got booted and couldn't get back on. Sent a brief email to Dien, but don't know if it got through. Seems O. K. tonight.

Problems reaching Sowpub....

This seems to be an occasional problem... I've checked with my web-host provider, and it seems that the site has been up and working... Here is what they think the problem probably is (from some of their email to me last month)....

Actually the problem probably isnt the ISP. There is terrible DNS problems on the net in the US right now so it depends on what ISP or route it takes to get to the server ;-(

The good news is this type of problem usualy doesnt last long.

Once when I couldn't get through to Sowpub myself, I tried going through a different route and managed to get through.

I'm not sure, but I wonder if the above problem might be due to Sowpub.com being a relatively new domain name (I only registered it a few months ago -- this is quite a new site).

Thanks for pointing out the problem, though, Mary....

Cheers,

Dien
