Official word from Mike

[mpucci]

Hey Guys,

Sorry about the long delay in any new information. Here's the scoop...the ISP I rent the dtree server from didn't pay a bill to the datacenter they keep their servers in. Because of this, the datacenter shut off all the servers from the ISP (ours is one of them). Now, in order to get the server turned back on, I have to pay one month's rent to the datacenter. The problem is that they are only accepting paypal payments and I didn't have any money in my account. I put in for a transfer of funds, but because of the long weekend it won't be cleared until Sept 8. This means that the earliest the server would be back is Sept 8 (although the way things have been going I would not count on it that soon). My deepest apologies to everyone and especially Arthur and Jonathan for this mess. It was totally out of my hands. Oh and yes, I am going to be changing ISP's.

Very best,
Mike

Joni was right, you don't know what you've got till it's gone.

Thanks for the heads-up, Mike.

True _ everyone complains about the LESS than Cerebral contemplation of all things Bob _ but most of us want to see the Dylantree homepage LOADING _ not one of those: the page you requested cannot be found _ messages.

So what is the PayPal User ID for garden-variety greenback INFUSION MEDICINE for Dylantree???

Yes, I am more than willing to donate. PayPal works great.

Thanks for the update. Dylantree is a great service for Dylan junkies. Your great site has been extremely missed. I hope you will get all the wrinkles ironed out and back online soon. Take care and keep up the hard and often thankless work.
