I happened, quite accidently, upon the website of McMinnville, Oregon, a city of 25,000 or so people nestled between Salam and Portland, Oregon. It looks so...idealic. I wouldn't be too excited about the 42 inches of rain every year, but the city just seems so new small town perfect. Seems like the kinda place I'd go to write a book or retire.
Alrighty, the camera is back
Alrighty, the camera is back up. It actually didn't make it to the halloween party, as filming in blacklight conditions sucks. You can now enjoy pictures of my messy desk again. Thank you.

Does anyone else wonder why
Does anyone else wonder why we still have time changes? There's not enough sunlight in the evening hours as it is, and someone decides we need it in the morning instead. Shucks to that!

For those interested, the camera will be down until Sunday, after my Halloween party. You'll just have to deal with the current picture of Picaboo for now.

Alright, I'm back, which means
Alright, I'm back, which means the rest of you are too, or you will be shortly. The story so far:
Two weeks ago we switched from a shared server to a private one via my hosting company. It took a couple days for the internet propagation to take place, i.e. for everyone's DNS servers to get updated and realize that michris.com was no longer at the old IP address, but at a new one. This was going well, though www.michris.com was taking people to the new site, but michris.com (sans the www) was taking them to the old site. An alias problem, I thought, one that would fix itself. It didn't. Michris.com started taking folks to the forsite.com homepage (my hosting company), while the www version was still going here. Then other users noticed both were taking them to Forsite, and for 48 or so hours all traffic was being diverted there. I let them know, and they quickly re-updated the servers yesterday. Now we appear to be back up, with michris.com and www.michris.com taking me (and I assume other users) here. Leave a note here if you're expiriencing any other problems, hopefully everything's been ironed out.
Note: forsite.com has been the host for michris.com for the last 5 years - awesome service if you need a large scale server system. If you just want your page hosted, tell me, and I'll do it for you =)

It feels like fall outside tonight. That makes me happy. Fall is good.
Alrighty folks, looks like things
Alrighty folks, looks like things are working again at michris.com. We moved for a mass-hosted server to a private server, which will allow for easier administration and more control over things like hosting, etc. If you notice any errors, please let me know. Thanks.

Alrighty folks, we're moving the domain to the new server, which means things are gonna look funny for a couple hours, especially since much of this page is dynamically generated. Don't mind us...
I'm looking for a way
I'm looking for a way to install a public blog on my page - one any visitor could post to via a text box and submit button on the page. I'm sure I could do it with any of the comment systems, but I want the blog features and archiving, as well as the integration with my current blogs. Does anyone out there with blog expirience know if there Is there a way to do this? I've thought of an email posting via the page, AIM bot submissions, or making a generic team member account. Any other ideas or current similar projects out there? Leave a note. Thanks.

Looks like the Borgcam is dead. The what, you say? the Borgcam:
It's the camera I've been using as the webcam on michris.com. I took an old Quickcam, gutted it, put it inside the plastic borg casing, cut out the mechanical eye of the borg, and installed the camera. It was a lot of work, but the cam was old. Now I have my $400 ($899 retail!) Panasonic digital camcorder acting as a web cam. A little bit of overkill, but it's not like I'm using my camcorder all the time, so it might as well get some use. Enjoy!

Ack! My Roadrunner DNS server
Ack! My Roadrunner DNS server died, appearently, and I haven't been able to get anywhere online all night without knowing the IP address. Luckilly, I found this, which lets you convert domain names to IP addresses. Just click on that link and type in whatever you're looking for where it says "blogger.com". There are easier ways of doing this, like a DNS server, but mine's dead, from what I heard. I'm just proud I was able to get back onto ICQ and AIM and surf again.

Damn, I'm excited about halloween. Unfortunatly, I can't give out too many details of what I want to do, as part of the party is the surprise for the guests. But I'm getting all sorts of ideas, and it seems to be a good thing that I'm out of work, as I'll need a lot of time for some of these things...
