This server provides hosting for various projects under development. When these projects cross over into useful web applications, they are listed under the Hosted Domains or Web Applications menus. The purpose is to provide a live development environment for myself and others that request access. I also use it as my personal soapbox.

My new
WNR3500 router arrived today, and as predicted it made me forget all about the recent outage from the previous one. After a quick configuration, I was up and running with a
sleek new black case and blinky lights at 60% blink capacity. The raw power of the router managed to completely disable the network card in my media center pc, which remains a mystery and seriously cut into Lisas TV time for the evening. Fortunately the machine has dual-nics and a quick swap solved the problem. Once Lisa stopped watching TV on the wireless Xbox I was treated to 100% blink capacity. Apparently it goes into "antenna dance" when there is no wireless traffic, probably designed to hypnotize you into buying more Netgear equipment. Rest assured all traffic from this server is now fully blinkified before reaching your computer.

Todays 13 hour outage enjoyed by all websites on this server turned out to be the fault of my $50
WNR834B router, and not the l33t h@xzor skillz of
Stavos as was previously thought. After careful review of the router logs, it became apparent the reason for failure was megabit limited LAN traffic speeds and a lack of flashing blue network activity lights. Fortunately both problems are solved with the
WNR3500 gigabit router presently on order. If you're thinking the Netgear marketing machine has blinded me into sinking even more money into faulty equipment you'd be right, and while I may never know why the router decided to ignore all WAN traffic at 4:30am, I do know in less than 3 days I'll have a shiny new one to help me forget why I ever cared.
After constant badgering by
Keith to get a
twitter account resulted in my rejection of it (similar to my rejection of the Ikea cult), I received an email from my non-blogging and non-commenting wife suggesting I create a twitter account. Taking it like a slap in the face, I immediately started making fun of her to which she simply
twittered a response. The irony immediately shut me up, and I accepted the fact that soon I will be the only person on Earth who hasn't been to Ikea and does not have a twitter account.

Thanks to the shenanigans of MorlockPrime and Stavos, there are now over 2,500 comments I can print out and roll around in during my feel good time. Not surprisingly, over half of these comments are completely unrelated to the post they are tied to, but quantity always counts for more than quality. 2,500 comments on your blog translates to roughly $250 internet dollars that I plan to divide equally between them, so enjoy MorlockPrime and Stavos! You're each $125 internet dollars richer!

With the recent news of
EcoBoost being chosen as the primary short term fuel savings technology for Ford, I'm primed for excitement about potentially owning all-boosted vehicles. The Ranger is already
slated for a 4 cylinder, and now the Mustang SVO
may make a comeback. With my choices made years before their available, it was only natural to snag
EcoBoosted.org and whomp up a forum where I can spew my obsession to an interactive audience. By the time the technology is mainstream, I'll have spewed out enough rants to scare off anyone but the most hardcore, which means it will be
Stavos and I as exclusive members. Engage jealousy now!
