What happened, Bork?

2009-08-30T20:11:54-08:00

This used to be a hub of awesomness. Now it is a hub of desolation. Posting shit like this used to get me banned, now I bet it doesn’t even raise an eyebrow.

Yo, the forums &c. are back

2009-08-05T09:41:45-08:00

Yeah, sorry about that. Our awesome (???) host straight up changed the way PHP runs in Apache while I’ve been away for the past week and a half, which broke Apache’s mod_rewrite URL handling. If you are not a hopeless nerd like me, that means it was not my fault, but I fixed it anyway.

Grovel! Grovel!

We’re on a new server

2009-08-18T14:13:30-08:00

Hey-o, I just moved holybork.com in its entirety to my bigger, beefier, sparsely-populated dedicated server as opposed to our crowded old shared server. No buttwads overloading the goddang thing equals no error 500s!

Not that there are enough people here for those errors to really make an impact on visitorship in the first placeâ€¦

Man this place is quiet

I blame Walt

I will see you all in December

2008-09-17T06:02:56-08:00

Alright Borkers, I’m headed out tomorrow morning to catch a plane from Boston to Wellington, New Zealand. I’m headed there on a semester with NOLS, and will be spending three months hiking, climbing, kayaking and running away from the indigenous cannibals.

Kevin has full control of my server, and I’ve made him promise to check up on it a few times a week to make sure nothing catastrophic happens. Wheaties should be able to bring himself back online automatically if my home server loses power for any reason.

I’ll see you all in mid-December!

Just a little day on the calendar

Hope everybody who loves to eat food managed to have a nice Thanksgiving. Cheers!

Wedding Plans

2008-04-11T07:18:14-08:00

As the wedding approaches, we’ve been so busy with all plans that we’ve forgotten to keep you all informed. So for those interested (or at least a tad curious) this is what is planned:

May 24:
The big day. Seriously, it’s only 6 weeks left now. We’re gonna be on the island where I grew up and where we spend all summers with my parents still. Wedding will take place on the beach if the weather holds, otherwise we got secondary plans as well. Large party on the evening for all people grown up enough to not run around the floor chasing balloons.

May 25:
Brunch for everybody (even borkers should you feel the vicinity of the Norwegian border tempting).

May 29 - June 12:
Honeymoon. We’re going to the cetacean capital of the atlantic ocean. The Acores may be part of Portugal, but it’s truly a haven for whales and dolphins alike. Also awesome landscape with volcanic lakes and everything. We’ll have photos up when we can after getting home

After that we had plans of inviting all the borkers wanting to come over for a bork party, but with two more borkers getting married the same summer, and us being so late to announce it, it feels we missed the mark on that a bit.

Instead I propose this:

A Bork Wedding WAN party. Since we can’t really have a LAN party as spread out we are, we could dedicate a full weekend after all summer weddings are over just trying to get as many as us together to play the games we can get most together in. I will be sure to have my Live account back to gold status when we get there, so Halo 3 and all other 360 games should work, as well as computer games. We’ll see what we can botch up. Any suggestions of when is welcome, since I don’t know when semesters start in the US.

Recent downtime

2008-09-05T18:41:25-08:00

Hey guys, sorry about the past 48 hours or so of downtime. The bad news is that my entire server was down. The good news is that we’re no longer on a shared host! I am now rocking a DreamHost private server, which is just a virtual dedicated machine. All of you that have domains or subdomains hosted with me get all the benefits of guaranteed resources, too.

Note that I have an even higher-performance server with (mt) mediatemple that currently only powers two domains (as opposed to my DH server’s 90-something). I may move holybork.com onto it when I return from New Zealand.
