Well, dear readers, you won’t believe it. I didn’t believe it either, and yet there it was, or wasn’t. I tried to get to this here site and couldn’t. This here site had disappeared off the face of the earth. When this here site will reappear is uncertain – it could take a few hours, it could take a full day. Some of you will get it before others because I have been told that That Is The Way Things Work.
At six p.m. last night, Mr. Mark Bakalor wrote me to tell me there had been a problem – apparently the company with which we registered this domain name had been trying to send the bill for the upcoming year – only they’d been sending it to some address at Mark’s domain that is never used. He’d told them a year ago what the billing contact e-mail address should be and they’d never entered it into their system. Therefore, they shut the site down. As soon as he realized what had happened he called them, made the payment and they began work getting the site back up. It’s got something to do with “propagating” the site all over the world so that people can reaccess it. I don’t know from this stuff, so I’m just hoping the site is up and running sooner than later, otherwise these butt cheeks are going to hear from me personally. As Chester A. Riley used to say, “What a revoltin’ development this is.”
I had much to talk about but I suppose I’ll save it for Thursday’s notes, when I know we’ll be up and running. Also, be sure to clear your cache because some of you (if you don’t) will keep getting the “error” page (especially you AOL users). I want to throttle someone, frankly, but I shall hold my temper (and I hope my temper appreciates being held – it’s frequently lonely, you know). All I can say is, what a revoltin’ development this is. Oh, let’s all click on the Unseemly Button (if there is an Unseemly Button to click on) and see if there’s another section.
Well, there is another section, but I don’t know if anyone is seeing it. That is because I am writing these here notes in Word. Then I have to forward them to Mr. Mark Bakalor who will hopefully be able to post them this morning (as of seven p.m. yesterday he was still able to access the site), because I am unable to access my very own website. I find all this heinous (heinous, do you hear me?) and I will be making a list of people to send collective bitch-slaps to. And we were having such a festive posting session yesterday, and all for naught. Now “naught” has all the posts and we have nothing. What a revoltin’ development this is.
Well, dear readers, there’s really no point in my writing any more notes because I have no idea when they will go up or what? Just to get back at those stupid domain people, we should have a plethora of posts as soon as we are able, just to show everyone that we ain’t down yet – oh, a Meredith Willson reference. And so, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must wait patiently for haineshisway.com to once again be the most popular site on all the Internet. In the meantime, I shall eat a cheese slice and try to remain calm. Today’s topic of discussion: Of course, it’s Ask BK Day, but since I have no idea who will see the site when, we shall hold Ask BK Day in abeyance until tomorrow. Today, you may all post scathing things about our domain registrar. You may also post any left-over posts that you weren’t able to post yesterday, such as your casting suggestions for our revival of Fiddler on the Roof. Now, let’s show these people what posting is all about.
