www.jclark.com persistent "connection refused" ?

[Alan J. Flavell]

My links checker has been telling me that www.jclark.com is rejecting
calls, for some time now. I've searched goo-groups to see if there's
been any discussion of this, but I don't find any. There are, across
the web, enormous numbers of links to that web site, not just the
tiddly few (relating to SP) that there are on my own pages.

The wayback machine's last entry for it is Nov 30, 2004, but I'm not
at all sure what that really proves (checking another web site which I
know has been accessible throughout, I find that its last mention at
the wayback machine was even earlier, Oct 15th 2004).

Any clues whether this is intentional - replaced by OpenSP perhaps -
or merely an extended server outage, please?

For a rather long time, yes.

From a pure private horizon I suspect that it has something to do with
James move to go live permanently in Thailand.

And then there was this big wave some months back.

Whether that wave had an impact on JC's ability to stay on line is just
my speculation at this point of course.

Historically we do know the impact of "September 11" on another, to us
well known, SGML/XML character, that could be leaned on for good advice.

The wave had an impact on a magnitude of more people, so who knows?

Let's hope JC can still read this NG and put things in order him self.

The "situation" represents a rip in the web of a serious size for sure.

Personally I refuse to believe that JC would deliberately cause a web
rip this size, there has to be another explanation.

Yes, it works fine for me, too, from the States. But it didn't a week
or so ago...

Thanks - it's alive again as seen from here, too. Excellent news.

Yes, it had been down for quite a while. That was the cause of the
earlier query.

all the best
