Does anyone know how to get in contact with Catherine, formerly of illuminations.nu?

1) Took a look a the domain (illuminations.nu) today and it's set to expire in July 2010. Good news! I don't have to do anything there to get the site up and running again.

2) Called the hosting site (whatever you call it) and even better news: even though everything was booted off the main server, two backup copies of the files were made. Eeeeeee! The files have now been "packaged" as the rep called it, in case they do another purge while I'm trying to get this taken care of -- and believe me, with the luck I've been having lately, that's exactly what would happen.

Unfortunately, there's a fly in the ointment.

When I told the guy I had a new email account (cuz I do), he asked for it and then said that I'd have to provide proof of ID. No problem. EXCEPT...and you can probably guess where this is going...Catherine is still listed as the owner.

Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!! I'm torn between just filling it out anyway to see what happens, OR, seeing if I can talk them into accepting the payment without changing the ownership.

So if anyone out there knows Catherine and can get in touch with her, please ask her to get in touch with me. I sent email to her catherine4654 address as soon as I saw the form with her name on it, but so far I've had no response. I know that she travels extensively for business sometimes, so if there's another, better email address out there and you know it, please let her know I'm looking for her. :-) Thanks!


Now for a cheesy exit line: Thank you, and may God bless.

edited to add: We have contact!

JC!

I definitely have every page from the site saved if you find anything missing. :)

So...when you say "every page" what exactly do you mean? If you'd rather PM or send email, that's fine. :-D

I mean 1,474 files that were listed in illuminations.nu. When popslash sites started to go down I used a program called WebWacker that downloaded a full copy of the site so that I'd have the stories to read in the future in case it disappeared. The images, indexes, etc came with it.

Aiiiiiiiiiiiii! Dude, I could *kiss* you! :-D I can't believe you have it all! That's...I'm speechless. :-D That's fabulous...someone contacted me about adding the site to a fandom archive, so if worse comes to worse and I can't renew illuminations.nu, the site can be loaded up to that archive.

You sir, are made of cookies and squee.

No problem. Do you want me to zip the files and upload it for you?

How big is the zipped file? My computer is pretty new, not junked up with a lot of stuff yet, so I should be able to store it. Hey! This is great...I've been trying to figure out what level to renew the domain for; now I'll know (pretty much) how much space has already been used so I can plan for future growth accordingly. :-D You are my hero.

It's 17 MB zipped.

Woohoo! That'll fit on a flash drive. :-) Where will the upload take place?
