Restoration Log
Okay, time to post this one-by-one as I bring stuff back online. Yes, folks, this is where you will learn what all is actually on the server. 
0007 CDT: allabouthem.com is back online.
0010 CDT: andrewosenga.net is back online.
0015 CDT: BrassLantern.org is back online. Stephen, let me know if your subdomains came back okay, would you? Looks like you may have moved everything into your root and out of public_html? Kinda confused.
0018 CDT: bryanallain.com is back online.
0026 CDT: [caedmonscall.net] is back online.
0028 CDT: canspice.org is back online. Brad may now resume posting about OSCON 2007 without any interference from my imposed downtime.
0041 CDT: casademorrill.com is back online. I swear, I’m not going from west to east, I’m going alphabetically. It just sorta looks west-to-east, at least amongst my geek friends.
0043 CDT: ChristyNockels.com is back online, not that I’ve been paid for hosting in months. [Not that they have anything up but a splash page, either.] It’s only up as a favor to DaveJac at this point.
0045 CDT: collidingrhinos.com is up, not that we’re doing anything with it.
0047 CDT: Corner Table Online is back online.
0050 CDT: davejac.net is back online.
0052 CDT: donmillerfans.net is back online. I can’t wait to take crap from the Rumor Forum folks for getting that back up first!
0059 CDT: [derekwebb.net] is back online.
0100 CDT: dougmorris.net is back online, although I should take it back down for that SCREAMING LOUD AUDIO IN THE FLASH INTRO. Good God, man, just because you can do something doesn’t mean that you should. [He’s my brother, I can give him crap.]
0101 CDT: Doug’s Place is back online.
0104 CDT: dwebblive.com is back online, not that Bry and I are doing crap with it.
0108 CDT: elemoose is back online.
0110 CDT: elucid(blue) is back online. Just realized that dwebblive doesn’t even resolve. I bet Bryan dropped the domain. Way to tell me, Allain!
0111 CDT: FamousTim will be far more famous when he starts blogging.
0113 CDT: Sacred Journey is back online.
0119 CDT: The Geek Nature Preserve is back online. I demand the 28-week photo of Jess!!!
0121 CDT: GFMorris.com is back. I’m too tired to do them out of order.
0122 CDT: GFMorris.org is back, too.
0126 CDT: Live Granades is back online.
0129 CDT: GRACE PCA is back online. Yeah, I had a church Web site down on a Sunday. We Methodists observe the Sabbath and keep it holy.
0133 CDT: IF Comp is back online. Again, I think Stephen’s doing fun things with his sites. 
0135 CDT: IJSM is back. Like I have time to post.
0141 CDT: Joe Bassett and The John Larroquette Project are both back online. I’m going to stop at 0200 because I’m frieeeeeeeed.
0147 CDT: PJBenfield.com is back about 60 seconds after PJ emailed me about it.
0200 CDT: The Monkey Exhibit, not another blog, v2.0, Rocky Mountain NYI, teamresearch.org, and Experiments in Life are now back online. I’m hallucinating, so I’m going to bed for three hours or so. [It’s like the Blogathon, but I have to go to work tomorrow! FUN!!!!!!!!!]
0559 CDT: RMFO Pics and Rocksmyfaceoff.com are now online. I’m gonna kick something else off, then go cycle laundry and do something about food. Getting a skosh over three hours’ sleep has me ravenously hungry!
0639 CDT: The Hubbs are back online.
0642 CDT: The Hollandseseses are back online.
0650 CDT: The Nacle and United Church Softball are back online, Bry. TPWD.com is on its own domain and is gonna have to wait, unfortunately…
0654 CDT: The Other Side of Reason is back online.
0656 CDT: Who Stands is back online.
There are, undoubtedly, a couple sites that I skipped in an effort to get paying customers online last night [and this morning], but those are, I think, mostly side projects that have never gotten traction for me. I’m gonna audit the full list now that I’m mostly awake and see what I was missing. Then I’m gonna go back and start fighting this %(*#!&(*&!%# IP issue. As soon as I lick that, everything else can go back online. That might have to wait until after work today, and I know that it takes down some of the biggies on the site [rocksmyfaceoff.net, rmfo-blogs.com, etc.]. Hey, I’m caught up in this, too—-GFMorris.net was on 67.19.147.157, and my efforts to get it on the main shared IP just so I can have my tasks installation back up and running have been wholly fruitless to this point.
Thank you for your continued patience. I never dreamed that it’d be 2200 before I got solid control of the server yesterday. If I had, I would have started at 0830 and not 1000.
0740 CDT: Sorry, folks. My time to work on the restoration this morning is up. I’ve gotta go play project manager for a while, and I don’t have good access to the server to work on it while at the office [which I would if I did, but I don’t]. If you don’t see the site listed above, it’s not up. That means that, unlike Spencer, you have to read the list.
1055 CDT: IFComp and Brass Lantern are back. No word from the NOC. Starting to get a little peeved.
1124 CDT: I … think … that the IP situation is fixed. Attempting to bring rocksmyfaceoff.net back online. How can I do this at work, you may ask? iPhone, bitch!
1136 CDT: Okay, so the attempt timed out on the iPhone, and I think that the browser has to stay up. So, dashing home for lunch to bring some stuff back online.
1220 CDT: Not sure why The Rumor Forum won’t come back online. I’ve checked the permissions and everything. Doesn’t make sense. Perhaps Mark will have some time to look at it… [Mark, I nuked the db user and recreated it to no avail.] Am now rebuilding rmfo-blogs.com to at least get that online, and then perhaps one or two more before I do the gas/lunch/water/back-to-work run.
1232 CDT: Looks like rmfo-blogs is back online. That said, nothing automated on it [like the Planet install that updates the front page of that itself] is running, so if you each update, that won’t update until I get that back online. That’s both a simple thing to fix and a non-important thing to fix. I’m gonna pick one or two more domains to get back online and then go back to work.

Actually OSCON is already over.
Thanks for the update, Geof. The upgrades and status reports are much appreciated!
July 30th, 2007 at 5:30 am
I knew I should have named my domain “adirtroad.net”

The hollandseseses really should buy hollandseseses.com - if it’s not already owned.
I cannot connect to rmfo.net - could it be company firewall?
July 30th, 2007 at 6:28 am
Doesn’t look like rmfo.net is on the list yet, Spencer. I see rmfo.com, though.
July 30th, 2007 at 6:31 am
doh … thought I had read it in the litany of sites.
thanks rae

It’s Worth It, Barely…
Boss: “How was your weekend.”
Me: “Honestly, pretty shitty. I spent all weekend tangling with my Web server and got three hours’ sleep.”
Boss: “I’m not really sure that it’s worth the time that you put i…

I think people will survive without the Rumor Forum for another nine or ten hours. I know *I* need to be more productive today.
July 30th, 2007 at 8:17 am
If they can’t … not sure that I care too much right now.
July 30th, 2007 at 8:39 am
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
^ barely got more than 5 hours sleep this weekend.
July 30th, 2007 at 10:17 am
I honestly have like squat to do today … so I was really looking for to some covert RMFO time.
But I’ve been there, done that … you’ve got my sympathy and appreciation, Geof.
