Reminds me of the Noosphere. :)

Why? If I dip a cup into the sea and hold it up, is the seawater in the cup qualitatively different to the sea it came from?

Perhaps rather than arguing about a misunderstanding, someone might like to raise a specific point to ask about so it might get a clearer answer than if multiple points are being discussed at the same time? :)

Well, no problems over the past week, so it looks as though it was just an issue with the database server needing to reboot. I also cleared out a lot of unused files (such as unused original account files) from the account so the daily backups should put less strain on the server. Hopefully will...

Cheers - that happened just after I posted for me as well. :( I've posted a similar track and link to the guy's channel on YouTube. I'm not sure I could listen to a full album of it, but I'm fascinated by the sound of the instrument and how it's played.

I only came across this very recently - I find it an amazing instrument, played in an amazing way, with an amazing sound. :) Healing Frequency | 1 hour handpan meditation https://www.youtube.com/@MalteMarten

I recently enjoyed watching this short video, about a Buddhist parable on how to deal with anger at other people:

I just wanted to say a big thank you to @RJM for doing his utmost best to keep Interfaith running these past few years. I know it hasn't been easy for him, and I know even the best can struggle at any time running an active forum in general, let alone one based around such profound and often...

Clearly that isn't acceptable, so I'm going to spend a lot more time on IO now so I can monitor the situation directly.

Well, either way it's certainly unwelcome and unsettling that we've had a string of database issues since moving to the new server. To be fair, I moved IO to a small reseller account that hosts a few personal websites of mine, but it should have been able to handle IO in terms of resources. I've...

I don't think it was down that long - normally I check IO every day, but didn't yesterday. RJm contacted me this morning to say it had been down since yesterday. Anyway, am monitoring the situation.

I'm really, really sorry for IO being down again - the database server suffered a serious crash and it took a while to fix. After these couple of instances of database problems, I'm wondering whether I should get another hosting account specifically just for IO, one with plenty of resources...

Looks like there was a database server crash this morning, but all fixed after a relatively short time. I already have backups so in a worst case scenario IO can be completely rebuild relatively quickly.

Oh, wait - I hadn't realized you're set up the refutations as articles online - I'll therefore add links to those from on the articles page for the moment so I don't lose sight of them. :)

Thanks for finding those links! Better if we keep that archive bookmarked here for the moment, though. The point of the articles wasn't to start an argument which would need to be presented and balanced on the frontend as much as just generate thought and discussion in general. However, it might...

I've found the old articles section and put it up with the new articles - have linked to it from the homepage. https://www.interfaith.org/articles/ Still needs some rebuilding work, but development on the front end continues, though as before it's going to take a while. Main pointer is to get...

They are still in the system - I plan to update the articles section to include both the new and old articles that were originally up, and allow for more to be added as required. :)

Not sure where or what that was, but I've already started redeveloping the front end of IO. It will take a while and what's up at the moment is more about testing scripts and mobile accessibility. And fixing broken links. :)

Great to see some familiar names still here. :) When I was looking at the front end yesterday I realized it's not even mobile friendly, so I'm going to start work redeveloping it and I'll fix any outstanding links as I come across them.

Just to apologise for the down time. We were originally hosted with Westhost, but over the last couple of weeks not only did they lose a full week's worth of posts, they also tried to migrate all of their clients to another hosting service and it went completely fubar, leaving all of their...
