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.
Phew. We’re back. I think
So after a few hair-raising days with Magma, Bell and Linksys, we’re back.
Maggot Communications, your humble service provider
The Bell phone/DSL saga continues. Today, progress and comic relief.
Bell can say anything. Doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.
Where I work saying “yes” to something – indeed everything – without knowing if you can deliver it is a common technique for staying in the boss’s good graces. Seems like Bell does this too.
You always hear about this happening
..but you never believe it’s true. I should back up. For the past couple of days I’ve been trying to arrange to relocate my phone and DSL service to my new home.
The Jungle First Class BBS is shutting down Dec. 16th 2003
Sniff. I just sent this message to the remaining users on my First Class bulletin board. Rest assured that this web site, and my internet presence service isn’t going anywhere.
Change to structural markup
So I’ve finally lazed my way around to changing my page templates to structural markup. All hail to Jeff Zeldman. I think I did. Mostly got it.
OSA 091 not offered this fall
The Ottawa School of Art has cancelled the Web design course. Seems they haven’t had anyone sign up for it. Ah well. This means I have my Thursday nights free. It may be offered again starting in mid-January. Check back here then.
OSA’s web design course to be renovated
I am changing the curriculum for the course I teach for the Ottawa School of Art. No major philosophical shifts – I have not embraced visual page editors – but I am putting more emphasis on CSS, web standards and am acknowledging the death of the static page.
Quarkspeak translated
Back when I used to do a lot of print design, Quark mattered to me. Now I do hardly any print design so the pathetic image of Quark still without a Mac OS X version of its flagship program Xpress, is just sad. And this interpretation of their recent announcement of version 6 is just funny.
Section 8: Adobe Imageready and rollovers
They are the cat’s meow. Or its pyjamas. My cat doesn’t actually have pyjamas, but I suppose that’s beside the point. This tutorial shows how to use Adobe Imageready to make rollovers.
Useless software
Anyone who knows versiontracker.com would know why someone who worked there would go insane, start drinking and put up a spoof site, yea not necessarily in that order.
The upgrade saga
Phew. That was an ordeal. Actually it’s not over yet. But at least my site is back. jungle.ca is now running Geeklog on Apache 2.0. On Red Hat 8.0. On a new server.
