I am stumped as well! Wild guess, your web server "hiccupped" at just the "right" moment?

But I will accept that it is working. If, for some reason, it ceases to work, let me know.

I can't duplicate the NOHOST condition (as you seem to get it), but I know the cause is the inability on your side to contact https://gregwalsch.com. To try to get to the bottom of WHY, copy and run this script and let me know the results: <?php $host = "gregwalsh.com"; $target = "ssl...

I recently rid my own website of flash....
Thank heavens for HTML5 and embedded video!

Indexing hangs are a thorn in my side! It seems the causes vary from setup to setup. There have been cases where it seems to be a web server configuration issue, cases where MySQL (or MariaDB) settings were an issue. Shared hosting has been an issue.

Looking in my database, this is what I see: 4175, http://kasdivi.com/images/Gallery/2009/august/general/cargill%20(1%20of%206).jpg, cargill%20(1%20of%206).jpg, 400, 300, , 25, 0 4174, htt...
