It's that time of year again where we have to renew the website and
Internet support.
For the past 3 years, KeelyNet has been virtually hosted by Flash.net at
about $650.00 per year. It has always seemed expensive and I can't
understand how long standing (in Internet terms) don't earn some kind of
price break or radical increase in service at such rates. In addition,
I've always made it a point to make a one time yearly payment.
Flashnet doesn't seem interested in keeping their good customers so it's
time to move on. In doing some searches I found a marvelous web hosting
service located in Houston called DigitalSea. They are located at
http://www.digitalsea.net and have the most incredible prices I've yet
seen.
Please do check it out and if you are planning to setup your own
website, you will be blown away by their $19.95 per month price for
300MB with 25 emails. Check out the price/service comparison table on
on the HOSTING page.
You see, after checking many websites when I first came to the Internet,
I realized KeelyNet had to have its own name recognition, that is not be
a subset of another site, as in http://www.eskimo.com/~billb
Don't get me wrong, Bill is a great guy, a long time friend (he was on
the KeelyNet BBS for several years before KeelyNet ever came to the web,
in fact, Bill is the one who twisted my arm to induce me to close the
BBS to migrate to the web back in 1995) and Bill has a fabulous,
informative site. He also operates two of the hottest discussion lists
around; freenrg and vortex.
Because his site is a subset of eskimo.com, it is difficult to remember
his URL until you have done it several times.
So I bought the keelynet.com domain name, then contracted with Flash.net
to host it. Initially we started with 12MB, 3 emails and cgi script
options which came to about $580 3 years ago.
Now we have 27MB, 3 emails, cgi scripts and paid $650 last year and WERE
anticipating having to pay that again THIS year.
Last year, the best host provider I could find that was somewhat
reliable and didn't have a bad rep from the computer geeks I know, some
of who checked out the sites, was at a savings of about $100.00
I chose to not move all the files and do the setups for $100 in savings,
its a lot of work and time.
This year, digitalsea.net offered the possiblity of getting 300MB and 25
email addresses, yep, you read it right!
That Basic option from digitalsea is about $250 plus I plan to keep the
flashnet dialup for $167.40 per year, that means about $450 with some
minor options. That's about $200 cheaper than Flash.net as the host.
I sent the digitalsea information and website to Dan York to get his
opinion since he owns the server on which the KeelyNet discussion list
runs.
Dan made a very kind offer to match the digitalsea price and in
addition, offered essentially unlimited anything, plus everything would
be integrated under the keelynet.com aegis. I can't conceive of using
even 100MB on a website so if it gets that big, YAY, that means a lot of
people are contributing good information!!!
This is a very kind thing for Dan to do and will allow me to expand
KeelyNet in ways I'd never dreamed of before. His server is
http://www.dallastexas.net which will be the new KeelyNet host.
I am very excited about this move as there are many improvements I've
been wanting to make which will include;
1) redesigning the entire KeelyNet.com website using Frontpage98
2) that means a SEARCH function to locate anything on the site
3) that means hot buttons instead of tables to select auxiliary
pages
4) that means no lost links
5) that means much better organization and consistency in the pages
6) that means many of the 'missing' KeelyNet BBS files from late
1994 to 1996 when I shut it down
7) that means space for movie clips which will include;
a) the Marks machine
b) Troy Reeds magnetic motor
c) the Papp engine
d) Cleve Backsters test of communication with remote leukocytes
derived from saliva
e) Sandy Kidd's gyroscopic precession demo
f) Les Brown clips about crystal energy amplification and focus
as well as interesting experiments
g) Tesla phenomena
h) hopefully a clip of the Hutchison effect
i) other short clips of interest
8) and other changes/improvements
Most of these videos have deplorable sound, so where that is the case or
if it will add to the information, I plan to audiotape the message and
include the movie clip with the text so you will know what is happening.
In some cases I can save images as stills that can be enhanced a bit to
bring out detail.
Additionally, we have at least 10 new documents, never seen on the net
and in some cases, rarely or never seen by anyone I've mentioned them
to.
These improvements will require;
1) Frontpage98 which we will have shortly
2) a video card and software that runs about $250
3) a full page color scanner which I bought on my own last year
4) OCR software at about $120
I want everyone here to be aware of the changes we will be making over
the next month and the information additions in following months.
If you might like to help with these costs for the website renewal, the
video translation tools, the OCR tools and whatever else pops up, I
would greatly appreciate any donations to make these upgrades a reality.
$5.00 (a meal at McDonalds) from 300 of the 322 people on this list
alone would be $1500.00, which is far beyond what I would need, though
that would sure make for some new interesting possibilities.
Not to mention all those who read these archives (yet who are not
subscribed) or who read or link to the website, those who lift the files
or mirror them for their own sites, even those who print some of the
files in various publications which are of course sold to all their
subscribers. Interesting dichotomy eh?
That's great that people are interested and even better when they want
to participate with comments, experiments or new ideas or perspectives,
after all KeelyNet has and always will be about transfer of information,
as freely as possible.
One other project I am working on is to compile all the extant KeelyNet
BBS and website files into a downloadable 'Electronic book' which will
be indexed and searchable. I expect it to be around 15MB to 20MB though
it will be zipped for easier, faster download. This E-Book will be FOR
SALE, probably around $39.95 or maybe $29.95. It will take several
months to get all those files cleaned up and compiled into such a book,
but it will preserve and index all the information for a great archive.
I have for years received requests for people to get all the files at
one time, but have refrained from doing this on any larger scale.
Others of course have copied all the files onto CD or even chopped them
up to sell in 'folders'....keeping all the income for themselves.....so,
why let them be the sole ones to profit?
Its not like millions will come from this, but it will allow for
upgrades and hopefully some real experiments.
Of course, the site will still contain files as well as clearly
displayed references to the mirror sites where people can download any
files they want as always for free.
The E-Book will take some compiling because I intend to remove all the
headers and footers (as did Sumeria without crediting any of the
documents, especially those written by myself, to KeelyNet or me as the
author or some of the original files which I refuse to copyright).
I had a guy call up who makes and sells a radionic version of the
deuterium oxide phase conjugate fluid for $100 for a one month
treatment. He said people had hair that darkened, skin looks better and
tigher, they have more energy and they are sharper when taking this
fluid. This was all inspired and derived from an article I wrote years
ago about the presence of deuterium oxide in the body as a cause of
aging and how it effects could be be reversed or removed by radionic
phase conjugation, even an experiment done by Bill Strauss....maybe I
should pull out that pattern derived by Malcolm Rae (or was it Stuart)
in England...it was supposed to be a 180 degree phase reversed pattern
for the frequency of heavy water (deuterium oxide)...we could post that
and let people print it and experiment with it for free.
Bill said when you put a glass of water on this pattern and let it sit
for a period, then drink that water, you would experience a bowel
movement shortly thereafter and feel more energetic...I didn't
experience this but Bill tried it on several of his friends without
telling them what to expect, he says they thought he doped the water
with something though he poured it from a bottle in their presence.
We could certainly post that radionic angle, what it is for and let
people try them out.
Not to mention posting a great file on using angled pieces of paper to
heal as well as print and cut Pavlita psychotronic devices. Yep, lots
to do.
So, rather than let everyone else sponge off KeelyNet with nothing
remotely volunteered from their sales or profiteering...its time we do
it ourselves, but always let people know where they can get it for free
on a one to one free download basis.
That should work fine as it won't negate a principle I believe in VERY
STRONGLY, that KeelyNet is NOT here to make money, however, it should
support itself and that includes equipment and software if it will allow
for expansion of the information offered.
None of us are getting any younger, now is the time to PUSH to maximize
interest in alternative sciences, IMO, preferably not by the government
because they bungle so much, but at least their 'apparent' interest will
lend some credibility to the 'possibility' that research could lead to
the most amazing discoveries in the history of modern man.
I fully plan to be a part of that and I hope you do too. I'll do what
it takes to keep the website alive and expand it whether or not any
donations arrive. To date, we have received 1 - $100 donation, 1 - $60
donation and 4 checks for $5 or $10.
To those who sent in those donations, I extend my appreciation and most
heartfelt thanks! We have til the end of March before renewal is
required, though I plan to make it so before the deadline, even if it
takes a credit card....I still have credit even if not actual
cash..<g>....whatever it takes....
Thanks to all of you for your support, from your kind comments to your
sharing of useful and interesting information...>>> Jerry @ KeelyNet
