Geocities
Did y'all know they were closing?
I've known that Geo is closing for nearly 2 months, but
I've seen a few people saying "OMG, what?" stuff in their LJs.
October 26th is Dead Day according to Geo, so people with
Geocities as a host need to 1) save your stuff on your computer, 2)
pay $5 or so a month to have Geo host it as a paid member.
Fans: Quick--run to all your favorite stories, archives, fan sites hosted by
Geo and save them to your computer unless the archivist has *stated* that
they're planning to reupload them somewhere else.
I think that many fanfic writers are not planning to move their site.
Fandom love comes and goes, and if your fave author has not been active
for awhile, they might not even realize Geo is about to pull the plug.
I am not hosted on Geo. No worries about my archive.
On a side note (you know I usually have one) here's a fun tidbit
about David Caruso that is worth reading. It's short and kicks the shins
of all the rumors that he's a A-hole.
Caruso and the Kid
Interestingly enough, I read on another fandom board that interviewers, and
visitors, and People Who Know are rather amused by the rumor/accusations that
Caruso is an A-hole on the set and prone to temper tantrums ... because
they have witnessed that it ISN'T Caruso that is the troublemaker on
the CSI: Miami set. It's someone else on that set.
Just goes to show that once you get a reputation for something----it follows
you everywhere.
/blather.
Sorry I don't chat much in here. You *know* I gab in everyone else's journals
and on the boards I hang out. I'm well, my health is well. Life is GOOD!
(And Christmas is coming!)
