Friday the 13th and a full moon

Must be driving superstitious lycanthropes nuts.

Okay, so I was up until midnight doing some Briarholt RP, and some ... uhm ... suggesting to the code happy people on GreyScans. The result is that Felix is working away on one of the things I /really/ want to see done. Yay! And Aleriel is dealing with the other. Oh, this just so entirely makes my day. It's good to have capable friends. Thank you both!

And we have an unfinished scene or 4 that I need to get done eventually. So, whatelse is new?

Personally, I'm currently working on the MountCoast City map. This will probably help Felix with his coding. Or at least, it might. We can figure out the DNS server type thing anyway. I'm curious to know how much this will slow things down, Felix. If at all. Anyway, once the map is together and online, we can get the building going. This works for me, and a few others I can name. ;)

See, I have two choices when it gets to be October. I can either get depressed, or I can get busy.

Guess which one I'm choosing?

In other news, there isn't any really. My Mom has the flu. I have a vicious headache today that won't go away. And I don't want to be at work. Other than that, things are great. Think I'll buy a lottery ticket. Maybe it will win. ;) After all, today is a double good luck day.

And psionics definitions/descriptions is in progress. Really it is. ;)

Hey Reefster? Does your kitten have a name yet?

So all in all, my brain is going a mile a minute on the event, on Greyscans, and on Realmwalkers ... plus a few other sidelines.

*beams* Okay, people... are you ready for this?

It /is/ a 'virutal' server.
With the right hardware you can run multiple OSes on one machine.

I think one of IBM's Big Iron manged to run several thousand 'virtual' machines, running a seperate Linux on each one.

With a server like that, you get a set chunk of memory, disc and swap. They'll probably set most things up for you, but you can do pretty much whatever you like - including stuff that requires root.

Have I mentioned yet how much I want one of those cirtual server accounts? ;o)

Ah, that's what you mean.. Hrm. Never heard of such things, really, but sounds appealing. Still, I think we'd have to ask the host whether we can run stuff or not. *shrugs* Far less hassle to park the domain with Mudservices (if you don't count that Mudservices can't really be trusted after the stunt they pulled a bit ago).

Speaking of.. how long does RS have till it gets shut down for non-payment?

I wouldn't stay with Mudservices.
I certainly wouldn't jump through hoops to transfer a domain to them.
Hell, I just wouldn't transfer it full stop.

Find a new host.

Does the current domain host give you (and I'm speaking to Sin here, since I know she'll get this too) access to the zone file? If it does you can set it up like I did for Century, where century.wibbble.org.uk points at Century's host.

As for RS.. shit, I've no idea.

Hrm.. I must get ahold of Ray somehow then. It'll prolly require me to dig out my phone book and long distance card, heh.

Heavens forbid.

And look - it's aging fast!

Ahhh..

I remember when it was just a bairn, not even a single comment old.

Oy, I feel old now.

They really do grow up so fast.
And they never write.
