DX-midAMerica TIP Sheet #5, 3 7 2026
NEXT UPDATES: 3 20 with DAYLIGHT TIMES USED, PLEASE.
Angelfire. Off more than it's on! I would have been FIRED had I been this bad in my 44 years of work.
Lycos.com updated in Feb 8th. "It ain't over 'til it's over!"
Message Board quotes:
I'm not the most savvy person when it comes to computers but what I hear is something about the certificates expiring. I don't know really. When I check my account through Lycos For my Angelfire page, It states "active"
Angelfire has a problem with their hardware. A lot of is old because they had some serious crashes in the recent past. So anyone's guess when they're going to things fixed. The company that owns Lycos and Angelfire is Brightcom. My research shows me that Brightcom is into a lot of other stuff like digital marketing solutions and software development services. AngelFire is based up in Massachusetts so I don't know how much help they will be in fixing things or if Angelfire and Lycos is dependent on them to get things fixed.
The equipment or parts whatever you want to call them Angel fire is using is kind of old and finding those parts again take some time because Angelfire has been up a long long time, couple of decades I think. So the other problem is also It takes people that are not used to that type of old hardware to work with those type of old hardware and get them synced back in. He further explained to me if they can't find some of those parts they are going to have to get more modern ones and try to sink them in with the equipment that's already in place. So I said it can take some time.
IF I COULD, FB has been suggested. For years on FB and Propagation Logger "you finally got that" or the like. You are so proud of your accomplishments and someone shoots you down?
A NEW WEBSITE. To re-do 500 pages, that are archived at Angelfire. Learning new codes, only to have Angelfire come back possibly. No thanks! This will play out one might hope.
