Another Flash Mob (2003-6-30)

Ooh! Another Flash Mob is planned in NYC…and I'll be in town…and I'll be in the neighborhood. I may even participate. Too funny! UPDATE: If you're interested in Manhattan Flash Mobs, keep an eye on http://www.cheesebikini.com. In my experience that's the most reliable place to get notifications of upcoming mobs. More to the point, don't [...]

In actuality, I had bungled the Ethernet config and essentially left the server able to talk only to the local network. BUT, I've moved the site to [...]

Didja Miss Me? (2003-6-10)

Sorry about the downtime…it was for the stupidest of reasons. See, someone hacked one of my servers at the ISP, and it was such a mess that I pulled the box from the rack in order to bring it home and rebuild it from scratch, and I didn't have a free port on the switch, [...]
