@achewood I am composing a tone poem about eagles, lawnmowers, and Ted Nugent. It is composed only of the sounds of those things.

Quote from: "AlohaDawg"
She's coming along nicely.


A little observation.  I've never heard this term used to describe the development of a human life, only inanimate objects, like to like explain how a roast is cooking, or projects like "my essay is coming along nicely."  It's endearing though.  And I'm sure she is occasionally basting in her own juices, and perhaps developing a thesis....

Also, Va,  your comment about farting babies is funnier because it's is paired with a photo of your wee one looking so please with herself, while I imagine her bottom making a little pthbbt! noise.  My Goodness!

Wouldn't it be more factually correct to say we are Original instead of Official?

but calling the board "original" would imply that there is more than one unofficial message board, and that this was the first one....

Yeah, it's like the Original Ray's, the REAL Original Ray's, Ray's Famous Original, etc.  Everyone knows the real Ray's Pizza is on Lexington.  The rest are just cheap imitations.

speaking for myself, i'm half convinced that everything that i say is in some way stolen from either cartoons or pop songs.

[that idea, in fact, is stolen.  the part about pop songs. coo-coo-ca-choo.]

It it's not an obscure reference then what's the point in saying it? It's like the 6 degrees of 80's TV.

Paul, can you read the new board from home?  Do we have you back in your leisure time?


Yes, inexplicably yes.  I can now access this site proxy free.

I, too, can access the board from home, when I could not for a while there.

site speed / responsiveness seems good.  there had been noticeable lag periods previously, but 1) they were fairly few and far between 2) not necessarily server specific related.

so far, however, so good.

Well, there were DEFINITELY some problems at The Planet over the past, oh, SIX MONTHS with partial connectivity, lag, latency, and other things that basically meant that the server that housed plagiarist.com was either slow or inaccessible.

Anyway, this move to Liquid Web is a big positive step, even if I now have two open tickets for minor problems that have been unanswered for a week, and a billing problem (overcharge) that they still have not credited.

But I'm confident that once I get these issues ironed out that they'll be good.  I've gotten pretty handy with the server software and security issues (even if I didn't upgrade phpBB when I needed to and was affected by that stupid worm).  So all I need my datacenter to do is pretty much keep the hardware running and keep the big pipe connected and accessible.

And they have been very good in this regard so far.  They haven't had downtime in over three years.  That's a pretty good track record.  And while I fully expect them to have *some* problems in the future (no datacenter is perfect) they have a good solid reputation.

Also, I am paying nearly twice what I was paying before, but if it means that the box will be up and fast it'll be *so* worth it.

A friend of mine had a site get "slash dotted" a few months ago, and his box never went down, never had too high of a load, and everything just WORKED.  So that impressed me with Liquid Web enough to go with them.

Now I have a server that barely shows any load - before I was getting load warnings EVERY DAY.  So I guess I should step up my hosting advertising a little - this new box could probably handle another 100 sites.
