New Addition to the No Paper Network

Sean’s new domain, gorblatt.com, is the latest addition to our humble server; a site I hope to see updated often now that Sean has a lower barrier to adding content and many new options for designing a tweaking a site (one he first thought he didn’t need). I don’t think I’ve ever considered a No Paper [...]

Upgraded to 1.0b3-uttoxeter

It’s the weekend, which means the server was having issues again. Since I was already spending my time in pain, I figured I’d add to the fun by upgrading SnipSnap to the latest build of 1.0b3-uttoxeter. I was happy to find that there was movement on the snipsnap project again. Maybe someday [...]

Server’s back up

We now return you to your irregularly scheduled drivel. The solution: Uninstall Apache, Reinstall Apache, copy old config over. The problem: Hell if I know, but If I had to guess, I’d blame Windows. And I bet I’d be right.

SBC’s automated support informed me the problem is apparently affecting parts of St. Louis and Texas, so I don’t feel like I’m being singled out. As long as [...]

Downtime is my Favorite Time

That’s a lie. This site and a few others run off an abused server that sits in a closet at home, and the machine typically behaves so I don’t have to interfere with it’s service. Unfortunately, it occasionally chooses to defy me. Tonight was one of those nights. For no reason that I [...]

Server Software Upgrade

So, this is post is brought to you by SnipSnap 0.5.1a. I’m trying to migrate the sites here hosted on SnipSnap to a more current version to escape the maddness that has been its previous, outdated, buggy incarnation. Any instability, most notable at jimski’s, has often been the result of power outtages which led to [...]
