OK.... I am trying not to panic here, but something very disturbing just happened to me. I have tried, several times, to get to the tarotgarden website: http://www.tarotgarden.com HOWEVER, when I get there, it is NOT tarotgarden, but rather The Trans-Iowa Canal Company!!!! What the.....???? :confused: I have no idea what is going on...but I am freaking out!!! Can anyone help me here??? Please??? Did they change their email address or is my evil computer torturing me again :eek: Thank you.....PLEASE respond soon!!! :( Luna (having a bad one)

Yikes, the same thing is happening here!

Phoenyx*	10 Feb 2004
Yup. same here....I wonder if some hackers got into their database and fooled around with their files?

Moonbow*	10 Feb 2004
Yep.... me too..... Its not your computer then.... Does anyone have their e-mail address? Maybe you could e-mail them about the problem luna M*

I just e-mailed Jeannette. She and Umbrae (co-proprietors) are members of Aeclectic, but I don't think either of them is logged-in right now.

Guys-- I have no idea what is going on with the website all of a sudden, but I just tried it without the WWW and it works. But with, it's still that weird website....strange.

I get the canal company, whether I type in the w's or not, and my bookmark gets the canal company, too.

Eeek! What on earth is going on? I just can't find it!

Astraea	10 Feb 2004
All is well -- I just heard back from Jeannette, and she said that Tarot Garden shares a server with the Trans Iowa Canal Company and a technician got some wires crossed today. Tarot Garden should be back online very shortly. Whew! A day without Tarot Garden is a day without sunshine! :)

Umbrae Draco, mouthpiece of Ooolatek the Seditious One Who Tells Only Lies is about to speak, tremble ye heretics. The Trans-Iowa Canal Company? Not to fear. They are not real; at least not really in this time continuum. I mean they do exist, but not really here, and definitely not now. In fact to mention them may in fact upset the time-stream as we know it – and the fact that they took over our server… Well, I’ll be off to desecrate and idol, perhaps I can turn their evil temporal influences. As for the 'Technician'? You should see this guy (it’s difficult, but it can be done)...otherworldly is the best I can say. Have you ever seen a Giger deck? Apologies for the concern, and the disturbance. :smoker:

Whew! That's a relief. :)

There are actually two trans iowa canal companies...east and west. There was a power struggle and they split. They are a couple of comedy troups, originally one. Not sure if this has a hidden meaning to not take oneself too seriously or just gaia having a chuckle.
