When was that? Depending on when it was, it might have been a DNS issue. Those should be gone now.
@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 10:10 PM)

on*
@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 10:10 PM)

Red said he couldnt get one
@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 11:25 AM)

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

I laughed when the narrator said. "If there's a storm blowing through, there's no quick way down." Oh yes, there is. I've been thinking it ever since this video started. How much of it can you watch? @_@

I made it to the end, but my palms and soles did sweat a bit.

You'd have enough trouble getting me to climb an ordinary ladder up a few feet up off the ground, though, let alone something like that. tongue.gif

Yeah I was doing good when they were in the big caged ladder. I was thinking "not bad, I could do that" .... Then he got out. Yeah no I'm done.


I made it to the end of the video but fuck that.

Some dude attached a video camera to his helmet as he climbed a TV tower up to the top. It was part of his job or something. That thing was higher than the Sears Tower in Chicago, and had no gates or anything at the top. Just you on a ladder hoping it doesn't rain.

I made it to the end of the video as well, and decided that's not the job for me.

When he was in the cage, yeah, ok, I'd be scared but could do it...(well, maybe. If there was a fire lit under my ass or a giant cockroach chasing me or something...) But when it was 'time to go outside....' OH HELL NO.

There was a bit at the end, where he had the safety hook thing clipped on, the dude was holding on with ONE hand. O.o It looked like he was leaning back all casual-like too... xD.png

What? They haven't heard of meteorologists, or thought to look up at the sky before bothering to climb the thing? Storms typically don't sneak up on people. At least, not around here they don't... If your line of work involves doing something that can be affected by the weather, you're supposed to find out what the weather's supposta be like before doing it. As I've mentioned before: You won't find me out pulling wells if there's a storm forecasted or looming on the horizon.

They have a very loose definition of "dirty", which encompasses "dangerous" and "stupid".

You think that's bad? The guy who hired me to do construction over the summer used to do skyscraper work. After he saw someone fall to his death, he gave it up. I can only hope the tower job pays well, since I probably wouldn't mind.
