[Land-speed] World of Speed photos

[Ray Buck]

There's one thing in common with all the people (4, now, I think, out 
of the 35,000 successful hits over the last 4 days) who are having 
trouble.  They're all on Comcast or Cox.  I spent a great deal of 
time this morning and again this afternoon verifying my site's 
visibility from numerous isps AND from several tech support 
centers.  All of them have been able to access it.  Unfortunately, 
there are a couple of users on Cox who don't want to take the 20 
minutes to get through to the script readers in their support 
centers.  I can't say I blame them, but that doesn't mean that the 
problem is with my server.

One person suggested that I move my site to a place where it would 
only cost me a couple hundred dollars a month to move all the domains 
I administer and the thousands of photos I have.  I can't afford that 
to please one person who isn't willing to wait for a few minutes to 
troubleshoot their own problem, especially because I'm disabled, 
retired and on a fixed income.

Please forgive me if I sound irritated.  It's only because I've spent 
most of the day trying to resolve this issue for the VERY few who 
can't get thru and ALL of whom have the same providers.

My suggestion is this: go to a different computer that isn't served 
by Comcast or Cox.  Try to access my site.  You should have no 
trouble.  This should be sufficient to narrow down the 
problem.  Getting it fixed could be a little more difficult, because 
you'll have to get past the script readers to someone who has the 
ability to actually DO something.  I got rid of Comcast a LONG time 
ago when they started pulling stuff like this on me.

I wish I had better suggestions, but based on experience, evidence 
and statistical success rates, I can't offer anything more.  I'm 
sorry that you can't see the photos I shoot...because that's why I 
shoot them: so that others can see the events on the salt as I see 
them through my camera lens.  If I could fix this problem, I 
would.  But it's not within my scope of control.
