With @PB and @ TigerLily  currently locked out the political threads are dead.  :'(

Has this happened before BTW?

https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ellgab.com.html says Ellgab.com is DOWN for everyone.  The server is not responding.

But there must be other servers and there are always other VPNs.

Hahaha. I checked the date because I thought it was a goof on the anniversary of BG going down.  I thought the original death occurred July 5, but I just had to double check. 🤣🤣🤣

It's now a full two days for some, a few, for me it was out overnight from the 6th to morning of the 7th. I would think that things will be back to normal by tomorrow. DNS back-end stuff.

I bet if you search that phrase on some porn website, you'd find some pretty freaky stuff.

A few years ago there was this known "webmaster" who hit me up on Twitter with a few questions about this site.
I do not want to out him so I will make up a name... let's call him Teeth. Teeth Bowman.
So Teeth wanted to know how to add an avatar to his account.
I told him he could upload his picture or link to it.
He said he would never link to it because that would be stealing bandwidth.
In 2018.
He was worried about the bandwidth he would be stealing linking to a tiny picture.
In 2018.
This guy was seen as King Neckbeard in the woo world but could not figure out how to add an avatar or how much bandwidth an avatar took in 2018.

Once he figured it out he and his wife spent hours every night on this site.
Was he following the chat for the show airing on his network?
That answer is no.
They were too busy following what was going on with their former host and her latest meltdown.
And now you know the rest of the story.

Good times!   Trailer park paranomal, Miller boxing match threats, pickles and air conditioning, those were the days.   Now all I've got is Svengoolie.

I was told Google Domains shut down and transferred everything to Squarespace.
When they did that the nameservers for this site got corrupted and had to be reset and that can take up to 72 hours to propagate.

I was lock out for about two hours. Tried to open the site up, it wouldn't. Took a nap. Tried again. I was back up.

No need to commit bellgabicde here folks.

Relax.

I think they're still trying. Clearing cache ETC. Not working.


In the meantime. I just came in to the office for a bit and one of the two functioning (of 6) elevators is making a screeching sound almost like it needs oil, or like an old fanbelt before it finally snaps. I'm going between the 22 and 6th floor off and on... it sounds like a freefall box-death waiting to happen!  Every time I have to go to another floor I am now sending the problematic elevator to the ground floor and using the normal sounding elevator. But still... the screecher seems to want to be the default as it KEEPS ON OPENING AND REAPPEARING every time I hit the elevator button! This building has an elevator history of malfunctions. No deaths... yet. But there's always a first time.

Anyone want a few Les Pauls?

Well, when the workload goes from something like 16.5% to 50%, I can imagine that they need tuneup and maintenance at a higher frequency. It could be serious. Maintenance is often overlooked by bean counters. They are the types that don't change the oil and never fill the tires of their cars.

Do you have any Les Pauls (iOS voice recognition insists on spelling it less poles, hahaha) with P90s in them? Sign me up!

Do me a favor, get in and hit every button. Do that a couple of times...

The SHE still has two of my Les Paul's. The Gibson Gold-Top re-issue from 07-08 and that one has P90's. She also has my 02 Les Paul Special - nickname "Woody" I miss them both a great deal.

Is there a chance I could hook up with her and maybe score a little P and a P90?

Too soon?

Have you ever thought of buying a toilet seat bidet? Just a thought...
