Less time, more cuteness
I’ve been back at work, doing the whole day care thing for fifteen days now. Here are some things I’ve noticed:
Oh travail
I’m typing this when I really should be going to bed. I’m tired but I don’t feel like sleeping.
See I have to go to work tomorrow.
If emigr� is dead…
…then print is truly dead. Emigr� has to be one of the, if not the pre-eminent font design companies on the planet. Their fonts were to typography what Ray Gun was to page design.
All hard drives are shit
Remember the good old days of hard drives? When people would argue for hours over the relative reliability of Quantum vs Seagate? When $900 would buy you a whopping 105MB? I miss those days. No, really I do.
We’re back. Anyone wanna buy a hard disk?
The Jungle and all the sites I host were down for about 12 hours overnight as a result of a hard drive failure.
Did you miss me?
I’ve been out of action for a couple of days, cleaning up after some script kiddies who exploited an old copy of awstats to r00t my server.
Life in denial (of service)
I am taking this possibly brief respite in the last ten day’s mayhem to let you know that Jungle Internet has been the target of some form of Denial of Service attack. Don’t know why, don’t know how, don’t know who.
No more anonymous comments
Geeklog is too popular. So popular that someone has written a bot that can automatically post comments to a Geeklog site, dozens at a time. Comment spam.
Goodbye Linksys
They’re ubiquitous. They’re owned by a major network hardware company. They get rave reviews. They’re Linksys home networking products and they suck.
Not a good week for the Jungle
I would like to be able to say that the return of jungle.ca heralds a new era of stability in my little home business web presence provider. And I may be justified in saying so.
I have had more fun with computers
…than I had today. My server has just recovered from a hard drive failure. It may take me a little longer.
That was an afternoon
So my web server now has a new power supply. And (evidently) it’s back. But not without some trepidation. To my trepidated clients I say: I have ordered a new machine to mirror the production one, so that if this happens there won’t be so much down time.
Cheaper rates for web hosting
I have dropped my rates for web site hosting. The change reflects my cheaper costs for connectivity. I can host your web site for as little as $10 CDN per month. See my package pricing. And now you can even use Paypal.
Apply egg liberally to face
So I’ve been dissing the tech people at work for being unable to keep the email server running for more than four hours at a time and unwilling to tell anybody about the problem. And then what happens?
It was the router
My replacement router arrived today. After a few minutes setup, my web site wierdness was solved. And to think I’d been pining for a “real” router. Hah. Fool.
