Well I see I was one of the first to get booted off (right before 2:00am this morning) and I am one of the last to get back on (about a half hour ago)... :grr:

What the hell did I ever do to you Clarity!! :p


Kidding aside. You sell yourself short Clarity. Great job and there are so many of us out here who appreciate the time and effort you put into this site. This huge friggin site. I still remember the days when you may have to talk to yourself for a while until someone else logged on. Oh how it has grown. Thanks again...

Always! :biggrin:

Really, what it comes down to is that when you type buckeyeplanet.com into a browser, some magical dangerous entity on the net (I call him "Edith") tells your browser to go look at a certain numeric IP address. That used to be 140.99.uh.morenumbersIforgetnow. I've now asked Edith to instead point to 69.16.139.250. But Edith is somewhat slow and unpredictable. He could decide to listen to my request 20 minutes, or 20 hours from now, there's just no telling.

At the moment, Edith is still telling people to go to 140.99.other.numbers. Which is all well and good, because our server is sitting there screaming "hey! I'm 140.99.more.stuff, come talk to me for BP". The downtime will come when Edith recognizes the new address I've given her. Then she's sending everyone there, but our server still thinks it's the old address. That's when I'll have to change it over (and I have a few different sets of directions regarding how to accomplish that -- god help all of us), and hopefully then Edith, our machine, and your browsers, will all be singing off of the same sheet of music.

Not the way I would've described it, but OK ... :biggrin:

I approach IT issues a bit like early man would have tried to explain thunder and lightning. It's all dark magic, and there's a gender-confused monster named Edith involved. As long as we keep sacrificing virgins, all will be okay.

That will be the Spring Drive theme this year. "Save the internets! Send us your virgins!"
