Well, the site made it back up. And I lucked out with IP/DNS issues. As in, I didn't have to bother.

I am so. tired. Gotta go to work now.

The site will be going down tomorrow, May 31st [ed: hrm, today's the 29th...I guess I meant Tuesday the 31st] at some point. It should be back up on the 2nd of June. DNS propagation may delay the time before you can actually get to the site and whatnot, but it should work eventually.

I've been moving crap all day. I'm friggin tired.

Attention attention. userlame.com [userlame.com] will be going down for a brief period sometime nearing the end of the month. Providing there are no ip changes and dns problems (a very real possibility) there should only be about a half hour of downtime or so. I'll provide an exact date as I have it. I wouldn't want all you avid readers (reading what? I certainly don't know) to freak out without your fix, so I'll keep you posted.

After this downtime, userlame.com [userlame.com] will be found about 20 feet up (and maybe 30 or so feet south) of where it currently resides.

This concludes the announcement. Thank you for your attention. You may now go back to whatever it was you were doing.

I still plan on getting the site up to snuff and all and posting more and such. And I just ran my bank account into oblivion paying the 9 bucks to renew this domain.

Speaking of which, I guess ICANN now charges 25 cents a year for domain registrations. Surprised me some. I guess I haven't renewed any domains since September of 2004.

Other than that, things are slow. I swear I really am going to devote time to this site soon, though. Really. Honest. Promise.

I think I might start to work on this place again. Like, actually post stuff and make new things and finish the crap that I started. Yeah, that would probably be a good idea. I think I'm going to start documenting stuff I do and make some sort of a computerstuffdiary. Maybe it could help someone else out who is trying to do the same stuff I've done. But I digress. Look for some actual activity around here in the near future.

The end.

So I just happen to be looking at my server logs yesterday and I find a whole crapload of requests for a picture of a bat. It's a rather nasty picture of a bat, so I won't place it here. But so far I've found two sources of this picture getting linked. One was an IRC crawler [topicspy.argh.org] which pulled topics from IRC chat rooms. And evidently a link to that picture was in the topic of a chat room or something. I didn't really look into it. *shrug* And the other source was the strange one...some random person reports getting a joke email [sksboards.com] with the picture linked off my site as the punchline. I have no idea where that email came from. I haven't posted that picture anywhere in...well, in a long long time.

I found these things strange.

Update: It was then linked on some site...Finnish I believe from the visitors ips...here [sontalaatikko.net] (you have to agree that you're an adult to get in -- as I post this it's the 10th link in the Linkkilista -- it used to be 5th). If anyone speaks the language and could tell me what this site's about...I'd like to know. I like the poo theme, by the way. This server took quote a load for that picture just from this new link. I've rehosted the image with a free service so as not to remove it completely. All links are now redirected to the new host. In one day I got about 10,000 unique hits for this picture.

userlame.com will be going down for some scheduled maintenance tonight (this morning, whatever). I plan to pull the plug around ohhh...5:30 CST. Everything should be back up and ready in about half an hour. Yay for the pretty new server. More details to follow after this transition goes amazingly smooth.

hooray.

Hey guess what. userlame.com membership registration is NOW AVAILABLE! Holy crap! After millions of sleepless nights and thousands of pots of coffee it's finally here. I know all of you 98750981743209732459203745432 daily visitors have just been DYING to join in...well now's your chance! Just head on over to the registration [userlame.com] and sign up!

As for the rest of the site, I'm working on things lots and lots. Things that aren't done now, or could be better, will be. I just need a little break now that I've finally gotten this far.

So come on everyone, sign up for my little site here. Please? What if I gave you a cookie? Well, at least I accomplished writing all this crap for my own sake even if no one wants to join. But it's there if you want it.

P.S. Please be gentle with my poor website. Don't break stuff. On purpose.

well that's crap. i want a members page.

I decided to move some of the stuff I've been working on to the site. Things look just a bit different. Yup. That's all.

yeah, i really like that.
