Recurring Afternoon Slowness

Posted January 13, 2005, 6:29 p.m.

Anybody who has visited this site in the afternoons over the last few days is probably aware of this, but the site has been slowing to a crawl between about 2:00 and 6:00 p.m. EST.

This is being caused by a problem with my hosting provider, PowWeb, and primarily affects PHP-based websites like Off on a Tangent (you may have noticed that Melissa’s site and the main Eeltank.com site [which needs to be updated] were mostly unaffected).

PowWeb is aware of the problem, knows what’s causing it, and is working on implementing a fix. The daily slowness may continue for another few days, but will hopefully clear up soon.

Quotes

I tell you, on the day of judgment men will render account for every careless word they utter; for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

Jesus Christ

If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival.

Winston Churchill

Therefore the wise avoid extremes, excesses, and complacency.

Lao Tsu

Power from any source tends to create an appetite for additional power. Power coming from wealth tends to create an appetite for political power and visa versa. It was almost inevitable that the super-rich would one day aspire to control not only their own wealth, but the wealth of the whole world.

W. Cleon Skousen

The world may disagree with the Church, but the world knows very definitely with what it is disagreeing. . . .

Fulton Sheen

There can be only one true religion, because a thing cannot be false and true at the same time, and, therefore, all religions that contradict the teaching of the true Church must teach falsehood.

U.S. Conf. of Catholic Bishops

[War is not] simply the work of politicians and capitalists. Oh no, the common man is every bit as guilty; otherwise, people and nations would have rebelled long ago!

Anne Frank

Christianity . . . divided the crime from the criminal. The criminal we must forgive unto seventy times seven. The crime we must not forgive at all.

G. K. Chesterton

Success is simple. Do what’s right, the right way, at the right time.

Arnold H. Glasow

We ought to be extremely cautious in this country. If ever the government be changed, it will probably be into a despotism.

William Grayson

Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.

Thomas Jefferson

There is nothing indulgent about the moral law. It is as hard as nails. It tells you to do the straight thing and it does not seem to care how painful, or dangerous, or difficult it is to do.

C.S. Lewis

Part of the change we have to make is accepting that in the years to come, faithful Christians may have to choose between being a good American and being a good Christian.

Rod Dreher

All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions.

Adlai Stevenson II

The compacts which are to embrace thirteen distinct States in a common bond of amity and union, must as necessarily be a compromise of as many dissimilar interests and inclinations. How can perfection spring from such materials?

Alexander Hamilton

We ought never to do wrong when people are looking.

Mark Twain

Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. . . . We have an obligation to call this what it is: the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.

George W. Bush

I often say after eight years in Washington, I longed for the realism and sincerity of Hollywood.

Fred Thompson

Don’t be yourself, be someone a little nicer.

Mignon McLaughlin

Trying to manage from the top down, when the bottom is out of control, may be the least effective approach.
