    Hi all -

    I've put up a basic site, and I'm passing on the FTP details to Howard to administer or allocate to whoever wants - feel free to forget about the current design when your logo competition is complete.

    www.irelandoffline.com

    BTW, it would be a good idea to register .org and to promote that as the main address eventually as mentioned in a previous topic.


    John.

    Well currently Niall O'Keefe is knocking the site together, and he is hoping to have it up at www.irelandoffline.com in a day or so. A few of the committee are acting as guinea pigs for the design currently. I'm sure once it is up comments will be appreciated and the site will continue to develop as a result.

    You could help me with content for the site by putting foward technical issues that you feel should be covered, in an educational way to underline and explain the technical aspects of improved Internet availability, as I am currently sorting out and looking for aspects to cover. I'll consider anything, for inclusion but the goal is to keep it straight foward enough so as many people as possible will be able to grasp the many technical issues. Other people are working on different content subjects and I am sure they will put out a call on participaion at some stage too.

    Nice one with your site BTW, I checked it out soon after getting the lettter! Reassuring to see I was not alone in getting the thing in the first place!

    Yep- I'm writing the web site, but have suffered a couple of setbacks, which have been communicated to the committee and they're quite understanding of the problems I'm currently experiencing.

    My problem with irelandoffline.com is that the server is UNIX based and so doesn't support ASP or the server side components which I was using in the building of the site. I'm just going to have to use frames or some other solution to get around this (so that the URL remains the same) and host it myself on scaryeire.com (NT-based).

    Cheers,
    Bard

    Niall, when you get your site up on scaryeire let me know the URL and I'll just forward irelandoffline.com on to it (with a frame).

    John.

    Actually better still, I can redirect the DNS entry to that for scaryeire if that helps.

    John,

    I've put frames pages up there already - one for each page with all the links on the site targetting "_top".

    Redirecting the DNS would be ideal, but unfortunately, I don't know if I quite have the freedom to add a new site to IIS to take that domain on that server - I'd have to check that.

    For the moment, I'd leave it as-is.
