Hello all,
I hope I get this post finished before Dhamma Wheel goes down again....
Just wanted to say I discovered a gap in my life when I could log on and kept getting an error message.
So quickly has it become part of my daily routine, to log on and read the latest ....
Gave me time to reflect on Anicca and Attachment
With good wishes that the worst is over ...

Re: Dhamma Wheel Impermanence :-)
Greetings Chris,
Yes... I know the feeling
It seems like it was just a hosting/server issue... a useful test in the future is to see if David's other sites like http://www.thedhamma.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or http://www.dhammawiki.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; are working. If they're not working either, it's likely to be a hosting/server issue rather than something wrong with the Dhamma Wheel software/database.
Metta,
Retro.

Re: Dhamma Wheel Impermanence :-)
Is this a lesson in Impermanent permanence, or permanent impermanence.....? :cookoo:

Re: Dhamma Wheel Impermanence :-)
Yes, exactly. This is a good way to test if it is the server / web hosting company or if it something wrong with Dhamma Wheel. As long as you see the other sites down, then you know it is just a server issue and should be up shortly.retrofuturist wrote: It seems like it was just a hosting/server issue... a useful test in the future is to see if David's other sites like http://www.thedhamma.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or http://www.dhammawiki.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; are working.

Re: Dhamma Wheel Impermanence :-)
Another proof of the superiority of Zen (and Mahayana) over Theravada - when ZFI goes down we get mysterious multiple error messages, and when Dhamma Wheel goes down, all we get is the "server not found"!
I rest my case.
PS Good to see it back online!

Well, that indicates to me that our server was in the attainment of samapatti nirodha. Whereas sending out multiple error messages is akin to dementia!
A joke, of course!
Good to see you back with us!

Re: Dhamma Wheel Impermanence :-)
OK, so we have:
"Theravada enlightenment" - "Server not found." Nothing working, nothing happening. Cessation.

Re: Dhamma Wheel Impermanence :-)
Yes that is consistent with Nibbana with residue (of the five khandas) remaining which is the state of the arahant until parinibbana which is nibbana with no residue remaining.

Re: Dhamma Wheel Impermanence :-)
I've had that going for a long time with the computers, impermanence is pretty up front online. There is hardly a bit of what the net was back in '85 that even exists anywhere in the world today except maybe the odd server rack! Until the house burned down (talk about instructive!) I had a stack of older computer systems that grew in height every couple of years until I switched to apple when they picked up the unix os. No looking back on that one but the impermanence factor keeps ramping up steadily, I don't think I have had a version of the os that didn't get an upgrade every week for the last five years now!Dan74 wrote:This is obviously to teach us equanimity and non-attachment to our posts and to the internet in general.nathan wrote:still getting an sql error message after every post
