Talkorigins.org back up

By evolvingthoughts on January 12, 2009.

The website www.talkorigins.org is now back up, although links to the temporary archive www.toarchive.org/ still work for now. The story is roughly this - the company (joker.com) we bought the domain name from reassigned the IP number for the site as part of changing their data centre. They apparently sent an email notification to the administrator - Wesley Elsberry- but that went (you guessed it) to the email at the domain name. Since the domain no longer was active at the IP#, Wesley never got the email, and because we couldn't use the registered email address to contact joker.com, they ignored many requests for help sent from other addresses not in their list. So it all had to be done by snailmail, and as it was the Xmas-NY break, it all happened in molasses.

Anyway, we have resolved it and I will be one of the people who can fix the problem if Wesley is not contactable (I'm executive VP in charge of antipodean marketing for the Talkorigins Foundation). So with luck, all will be well in the future. We still haven't fixed the commenting scripts that were taken over by a hacker in 2006, and the likelihood is that we never will, but the Interwubs move on...

One year ago today, I discovered a rather amusing bit of chicanery on the part of an old "friend," namely J. B. Handley, the proprietor of and driving force behind Generation Rescue, the group that claims that all autism (not just some, not just some, but all) is a "misdiagnosis" for mercury…
TalkOrigins Archive glitch
Everyone is wondering what happened to the TalkOrigins Archive — it's currently inaccessible. Don't panic! The commercial host juggled servers around a little bit, it got its IP address changed, and those who run the show are are scrambling to update the IP with the domain name registrar. It shall…
A Cunning Disregard For Security
This seems very odd.  The Internet -- including web sites and email -- has been found to have a very serious security flaw.  Civilized places such as Sweden and Puerto Rico are already fixing the problem.  There are plans to improve security for US .gov and .mil sites (government and military ,…
I get email
Hey, is Michael Korn still running around free right now? I just got a flurry of email from someone calling himself "Concerned American-Christian" <geologists4truth@yahoo.com>, and I have a suspicion that it's Krazy Korn himself, since he's so obsessed with the subject. And of course Korn is…

Right on! Thank you, so much. =)
