Sometime late last night or early this morning my website, blogger, discussion forum, and Farscape site all went down simultaneously and only just came online again at about 12:30 CST. We're hosted by Gothic.Net and their ISP appears to have crashed, which means we lost service until that server came back online. I wasn't aware of the problem until I got online at 7 a.m. today. I've recieved e-mails indicating some people also had a lot of trouble logging in to my website for much of yesterday. I'm really sorry about any delays or frustrations. Tomorrow, Jennifer is moving www.caitlin-r-kiernan.com (including the blogger and bbs) and www.nebari.net from Gothic.Net to Mindspring/Earthlink and, with luck, this won't happen again. If anyone experiences any additional trouble reaching the websites, please e-mail Jennifer at pndrastn@aol.com. There should be no need to change your links or bookmarks.
Anyway.
There's not a lot to report on the Farscape front. As I write this entry, the demonstration outside the offices of the Sci-Fi Channel is underway. If you're anywhere near Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, please consider making a show and lending your voice to the effort. There was the chat with Gigi Edgely (Chiana) last night, and I'll link directly to the chat transcript from Nebari.Net today. Today, at noon EST, in conjunction with the protest, there was a mass e-mailing to Tom Vitale at Sci-Fi. The Crüxshadows have agreed to put up a "Save Farscape" banner on their website and I'm going to be talking with other bands about doing the same. Also, thanks to Locus online at locusmag.com for getting an announcement up yesterday; I'm hoping to enlist the assistance of other sf/f/h authors. I will continue to give this campaign all my work time through Sunday, but then, unfortunately, I'll have to get back to writing. I have a short story that I should have begun on Monday and two interviews that urgently need proofing. But I will continue my involvement, to varying degrees, with the campaign for as long as it takes to save the show. I'm in this for the duration.
