Hmmmm. Is that cleardarksky.com? It's working for me at 0939 EDT on
Friday. My local clock -- U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, is also
working OK.

It appears that the domain registration has expired but the site itself is
still up. So whether you can get to it depends on whether your nameservers
have noticed the change yet.

See Atilla's recent post explaining the issue.

Attilla's update to this, as of 8:22pm last night:



"[For those of you who have no idea this is about: clear sky clocks
are observing-specific weather forecasts. And they're broken.]


The clear sky clocks web pages are acessible again,
although it looks like I may have lost my domain name.

You can reach the clear sky clock homepage, and then
find clocks by using the search tool through this
web page re-director:

http://www.pobox.com/~clearskyclock/csk

That re-director will be mine for at least 5 years.

A few links are still broken. But all the clocks should now
be reachable under new urls.


I'm still trying to get the cleardarksky.com domain back.
In the meantime, I can do nothing about all those club
web sites who are trying to display clocks but are getting
red x's.


Webmasters of pages displaying clocks, who dont want to wait
until/if I can recover my domain name, might want to patch
their html like this:

replace all instances of

http://cleardarksky.com/

or

http://www.cleardarksky.com/

with

http://www.pobox.com/~clearskyclock/


Direct links to clock pages,and IMG tags to clock images, should then
work. But they will be slower than a direct references to my webhoster.

I'll post again if I recover my domain name or If I move to a new
domain name.

Sorry about the mess -- especially on the firday before a new moon.

Has the domain name gone into the pool where you have to pay $150 to get it
out again?

If so, maybe we should take up a collection. Ultimately I wish Clear Sky
Clock were supported by the National Science Foundation or something like
that.

Here, Here! I would donate to that cause. CSC is well worth it and
quite worthy of connection to something like the NAtional Science
Foundation. Perhaps even an addition to the NASA page? or AL?
