Ugh

[ray]

Hey everyone,
Well, as most know, Lexington got hit by a pretty bad ice storm.
We lost power in our house and will probably be without power for most of the week. I brought my server up to my mom's house in Cincy and set it up. She has a DSL connection but I'm not sure how stable or fast it is here. It already seems a bit slow but it is the only home for redriverclimbing.com right now until we get power back.
So please be patient. The stability of the site may suck this week.
Thanks,
Ray

ray, i've been driving by your house a lot throwing rocks through the windows. i also got really drunk inside and puked in your stove. another accomplishment was that i just made the 1000th post in this forum.

Ray, thanks for the dedication to the site! Don't worry, the rest of us won't throw rocks at your windows-- we'll aim at Ho instead.

you are sooo going to get a blow to the head from a large, blunt object. it's going to be red too, and maybe made of wood.

Sorry again for the outage this morning. The IP address changes more frequently here than at home. I set the server to update the DNS records hourly though so that should take care of it.

I WAS ABOUT TO GO CRAZY! I AM DAMN GLAD YOU ARE BACK!

You are the MAN Ray!!! Thanks for your efforts so that we can get our fix!

We're learning all about IP addressing and the DNS in Networking class! I actually understand what you're talking about! Woohoo! (But shouldn't a server's IP address be fairly static?)

Well in a perfect world a servers IP address would be static, but when you are running it off of a residential DSL connection it is changed periodically, in an attempt to prevent server hosting.

Thank goodness for services like dynamic dns.
