1and1 no longer support FP extensions

We got an email, well, 3 of them, on Fri about mid-day saying that they would no longer support MS Frontpage extensions and after 4 days (a weekend and national holiday included) the extensions would be removed from the servers. We spend a whole day searching for a local copy of Dreamweaver, called friends in other states trying to get someone to overnight it to us....yipes, 3 days now...still searching...finally buy it on the phone from a place in FL for almost 100 dollars cheaper ($309) and add on overnight shipping at extra cost...best we could do.

I just got off the phone w/ 1and1....they told me to re-read my email letter carefully, and note that the only functionality that would not be working after the specified date is the stuff listed at the bottom of the letter. (which does includes forms).

They said, in the States , shared borders and includes (SSI) will continue to work. Not sure outside of the states.

I was in a huge panic as we have about 25 FP sites and all navigation plus more is in includes and or shared borders. Monday is a holiday in the states and they gave me 4 days which included a weekend and a holiday...bummer...no way to treat customers, they could have given us a months notice.
Meanwhile I have ordered Dreamweaver...I dont want MS to leave me in a lurch again.

I am posting this here in hopes that others around the world that are in the same boat will see the extra info the 1and1 tech gal gave me tonight. It was my 4th phone call to 1&1 about this shocking news but tonight was the first time I got this additional info.

Color Change Paint Job

Image
I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past. I used to see one with a different set of hues parked in from of a local vinyl liner pool company here in Gulf Shores. This is what I'd like on my VW Thing, but I want coral and peach shades so it look like a woman's fingernail polish rack at the nail salon. Anyone know anything about this type of paint job ? What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Is It Just ME?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?
