It turns out they were blocking ports

It turns out they were blocking ports. They were having some network issues and they decided I was using too much bandwidth, so they blocked all of my external ports. So, I'm back in business, but I get the impression I'm on some kind of probation. So, I'll try to be good . . .

I'm having weird Internet issues at home these days. Suddenly, other computers in the world were unable to connect to me. It seemed periodic, and I suspected at first that there was something wrong with my computer. I ended up doing endless configuration changes, installing the DSL modem on another computer, and am now convinced that my ISP has an issue. I'll give them a call this afternoon and hopefully figure it out. Sigh.



Well, I finally got a laptop

Well, I finally got a laptop. It's old, but the price was close to free. It's an Omnibook 2000CT, a Pentium 133 with 64 MB of memory. It's just enough to run old adventure games like Sam and Max, Day of the Tentacle, and Pajama Sam, and so on. Unfortunately, it's not enough to play back video, which would have been idea. Still, it'll make a good little trip computer. I expect lots of adventure game playing with Sam this weekend.



The web server that hosts adamandjamie

The web server that hosts adamandjamie.com died Sunday night, and we were down for most of the day Monday. Not sure if there's much I can do on my end. I have a hot mirror on tinboy, but that's not useful if no one knows about it. Of course, I'm not sure if there's anything that needs to happen - network outages are a fact of life, and it's been pretty reliable. Plus, it's free through my friend Chris, which is a big plus.

My house and computer projects have been minimal lately. I did do a bit with the mantle today. Darren had put it up, though it had been many months since he last touched it. We were wanting to finish things up, and hadn't heard from him in a long time, so I puttied and sanded it down today. I also had to put in a few screws and nails, as there were some boards barely hanging on. So, a couple hours later, it's ready for painting. Slow going, but it should look nice.

Oh - and the last computer issue? It's fine now. The other set of memory was really cheap, and worked just fine with the previous stick. I'm running at 512 MB of DDR and lovin' it.
