Also I still have to figure out how to set up our e-mail accounts on the new host.
@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 08:19 AM)

As soon as I figure out how to restore it. Sorry, I know I said it'd be done by now, but I didn't expect to have to put up with this DNS crap and other issues that popped up.
@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM)

So when's the black theme coming back??
@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM)

"Should"
@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 07:27 AM)

That DNS took longer to propagate properly than I thought it would. *Now* we should be back for good, though.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 08:48 PM)

Or it might be because Bluehost *finally* got around to that server wipe (one week after we'd asked for it) and that wiped out our DNS settings. I'm not sure which and I don't really care. In any case, we've severed our last ties with Bluehost, so this will not happen again.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 08:08 PM)

Looks like Bluehost yanked our DNS since our hosting account expired. That's why the site went down a while ago. But as you can see, it's fixed now.
@  Misk : (23 July 2015 - 04:55 PM)

No, they do not.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 04:27 AM)

The goggles do nothing?
@  Misk : (22 July 2015 - 05:50 PM)

My eyes.
@  furrykef : (22 July 2015 - 12:24 PM)

Looks like forum uploads might have been broken since last night. That should be fixed now too.
@  furrykef : (22 July 2015 - 01:33 AM)

Heh, whoops! Server went down for a few mins when I borked the config. Looks like it's back up now.
@  Uncle Ben : (21 July 2015 - 09:09 PM)

It looked like a napkin
@  ILOVEVHS : (21 July 2015 - 09:04 PM)

Fan-fuckin-tastic.
@  furrykef : (21 July 2015 - 08:25 PM)

As for the beaver picture while the forum was down, I think Tim drew it. On a napkin.
@  furrykef : (21 July 2015 - 08:24 PM)

No kiddin' about that "Finally!", Shadow. I am *so mad* at Bluehost for never responding to our support ticket. I submitted it early Friday morning and they *still* haven't answered it!
@  Uncle Ben : (21 July 2015 - 06:37 PM)

Maybe he did that himself
@  Shadow : (21 July 2015 - 05:25 PM)

Say, who made the cute picture of Beaver Chief?
@  Shadow : (21 July 2015 - 05:24 PM)

Finally!
@  RedMenace : (21 July 2015 - 05:02 PM)

Woooo! The site's back up! Three cheers for Kef!

The guy on the right looks like Bismark


Some say that he knows 2 facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong. And that 61 years ago he accidentally introduced Her Majesty The Queen to a Greek racialist. All we know is, I'm going to the tower now to have my head cut off, and he is called The Stig.

Just finished reading Wolverine: Weapon X by Marc Cerasini.

 

I give it a 6/10

 

Honestly as high hopes I had for this book, I was highly let down.  There are too many characters and none of them have the full story so you have to piece it together as you read.  Also there are too many time jumps mixed in the whole thing, and you are unable to tell what events took place before and after someone else's.  Also the ending leaves you questioning if what happened really happened, but not in the good way but in a looks-like-we-ran-out-of-time way.

I recently found my copy of Arthur C. Clarke's Against the Fall of Night. I was reading it about six months ago, but it got lost when I was about half way through it; now I can find out what will become Alvin and the city of Diaspar!

This book was actually an earlier version of his book The City and the Stars.

Posted A day ago

Not a lot of reading going on lately, it seems. Then again, I don't read nearly as much as I should.

 

Currently, though, I'm making my way through two books: Come as You Are by Michael Azerrad and The Shining by Dean Koontz Stephen King.

 

I'm a big Nirvana fan, so I'm really enjoying the former. The Courtney Love bias is there, but not as obvious as it is elsewhere, which is nice.

 

I saw Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining many years ago, and I heard that many events in the book had to be removed to allow proper pacing (lest it be either a constant paranormal shitstorm or a long-ass movie). I'm about 75% through, and I'm really liking it. The thing about film adaptations of books is that most if not all internal dialogues in the book have to be implied through wordless acting. As one would expect, a lot of detail is then lost. So, it's great viewing the story from a deeper perspective.
