If you're taking your site offline on Friday, we want to hear about it now! Just your URL or business name please.

and any other projects I'm involved in or can remember to change in time:)

Gordon

I just have a Eircom homepage.
Do you have a nice HTML page that I can upload in place of the website or do you want the whole information taken down?

/me is a noob

Bard

Gordon, the page to replace your page with on Friday is here: http://blackout.irelandoffline.org/splash.htm

If you need help replacing it, just ask!

--

To add to the list, I'll be blacking out my personal site at http://niall.okeeffe.com/

- also, of course, the home page of www.irelandoffline.com will be blacked out, but I'll be leaving a link to the site itself. As organisers of the Blackout, it's important that IOFFL's message remains on-line throughout.

--

I understand that Boards.ie will be taking part... will Spin Solutions themselves be doing it too?

Gordon

Thanks. Count me in then...

My silly wee homepage - http://homepage.eircom.net/~gordonjensen/
and
http://gordonjensen.tripod.com/

Oh btw,forgot to describe www.greatestdancer.com

It opened on 01/11/01 , so its pretty new....

Hopefully it will become the defacto Irish run House Music Website (We can all hope hehe)

I cannot take WhoisIreland.com down but I'll be putting Blackout links/images on all pages. (At 50,000 pages or so, that's a lot of typing. )

Yeah it was down for about 12 hours or so due to a DNS flip. I had been working so hard on the project (the com/net/org side) that I forgot to pay for the domain. It seems to be back in the zone file now. http://www.irishwebpages.com should also work for it.

Over a week out of date and without a mention of the Blackout and all that, I still imagine that Hackwatch gets a fair number of visitors.

Will you be blacking it out, John???

*Newsflash* The Powers that be have decreed that the flanagan websites can only be off from 5:30pm this evening until 5:30pm friday... At least it'll cover the working day, the other 2 sites will be off all weekend... ROCK ON IOFFL!

I'll be running the banner and probably put an article up about it, Bard.

I've already added the banner to the WhoisIreland site and to the sub-index pages. The button will appear on every page later tonight. (The pages are generated as static pages and this takes about 5 hours - another thing to optimise when I get around to it (including activating the HackWatch CMS/vortal ))

www.fishamble.net will be offline. Cheating a bit here because it won't be officially launched until Saturday :-)
By the way, if it hasn't been posted already, the following is an interesting article on the state of broadband in the US and the exasperation of the IT industry with the telco cartel there.

The Cigarette Smoking Man

www.irelandcs.com is now



I'll lock the CS server for the day too, so that's going to cost eircom:

16 people * 6 hours * 60 mins * 1p a min = £57.60

Im putting the blackout page over my own http://dublin.irishwan.org page, and Ill keep it up there til monday. Im having some trouble with the links tho. I copied the index page onto my drive and pointed the img src for the header to 'header.gif' in the same dir on my ftp space. Are the hyperlinks on the splash page pointing to other sections of the site using the full address or just the links to the pages, ie: http://www.blackout.irelandoffline.org/faq.htm , or is it just faq.htm ??

Thanks

Matt

dahamsta

They're absolute links Matt, so you don't need to worry about them. You can use absolute links for the stylesheet and image too if you wish. Course, they won't resolve at the moment...
