Day: March 11, 2005

Just a quick offer for friends of mine thinking about starting a website or looking for something to do with their domains. Currently this site runs as part of a shared reseller package with my host. I’ve got a section of their server, and I divvy it up amongst my domains and and some others. But it’s still not completely utilized.

I’ve already mentioned to a couple of you that if you want some room, I can set you up with some server space for your site for a nominal fee. This is really meant to be a friendly offer, I’m not interested in trying to start a business here. It just seems like the easiest way to offset some of my own costs and improve services for myself and anyone interested.

So if you are interested, let me know and we’ll talk about it.

The reason I’m up so late was a near breakdown at work this evening. Obviously I’m not going to cover any real details here (both for my sake and the company’s), but a worse case scenario nearly was nearly realized. Fortunately Dell Tech Support really came through for me, and a complete rebuild was not necessary. Leading up to the solution, however, was sheer panic for me. I slowly saw my entire weekend being flushed down the crapper. In the end, however, everything worked out and I learned something new – including some better monitoring techniques.

And in case there was any doubt how amazing Lisa is, she came by with dinner for me and helped ease the tension. Now it’s finally time for bed.

Sometimes you find an idea so simple, it’s brilliant. And then you laugh so hard chocolate milk comes out your nose. Looking for some useful Firefox extensions, I came across a real gem. Now in the lower right corner of my browser, I can instantly determine the current status of Abe Vigoda as reported by, you guessed it, abevigoda.com. I found some background info on the Wikipedia entry, and you can find even more celebrity death mix-ups on the Dead People Server.
