Oops 2

Slight server bloopage there, but we're back online again.

Greg redeemed himself by alerting me to the outage. Thanks Greg.

Old Image from Old Site

When I click on my comments section, over on the sidebar is an old bitmap that was on my old dotcom site. The url listed for that one is: http://www.gmroper.com/archives/elephanthandand%20flag-2.bmp. When I go to the "archives" for the old site (which really no longer exists, it was via an old host http://livingdot.com) I get a "bandwidth exceeded" message... interesting in that there is no more site to exceed!

I've looked at all the templates I currently have to see if I can dig out the missing picture and replace it with the one I have on my main page but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Does anyone know how to get rid of a bitmap that doesn't seem to reside anywhere? LOL, I know it really is somewhere, I just don't know how to find it. Suggestions welcome... and thanks if you can tell me how to do it....

Shameless Self Promotional Blegging

Multi-talented blogger seeking supplemental income is willing to trade design skills for cold hard cash - or some electronic equivalent! Because I wouldn't expect anyone to buy design services sight unseen, wander over to this site to take a look at my resume and portfolio.

No job is too small, no budget too large.

Oops

Sorry about the hiccupage there. Just making a few database enhancements, and Movable Type didn't like a couple of them.

Fixed now.

2996 (update and bump)

update: With about three weeks to go, they still need some 1,000 more bloggers to reach the target. If you already have, thank you. If you haven't, go see what this is all about.

2996 is a project to have bloggers post a tribute to each person killed on 9/11. With just over a month to go, they need many more bloggers to sign up and help out.

Check that link and consider pitching in. Spread the word too.

Commentary

Spent a few hours today whacking the comment system over the head with a large hammer.

The result will - I hope - be less spam. It will certainly help me to track how the spam is getting in. We've got three comment systems running now; two copies of Movable Type, and Minx. I know it's not Minx that's the main problem, so what I need to find out is which of the two copies of MT is having problems - or if there's something else that I've forgotten.

Anyway, any posts more than about a month old have now had comments closed, very very forcibly. There's nothing worse than looking up an old post to find twenty screenfuls of porn spam attached to it.

I still have to clean up the existing mess, but I've started on that, and I'm going to add some comment management tools to Minx that will also work on your MT comments.

Of possible interest

Recently at Rocket Jones, I've been asked to review a couple of new podcasts, done in the style of old-time radio serials.

Check out the reviews and follow the links to the shows.

Silent Universe (SciFi)

Second Shift (Fantasy/Adventure)

Fun stuff.

In Hiding

Okay, I've been noticing this today: my posts before Friday, Aug. 11 aren't showing up on my blog. When I go to look at my page, there's nothing there past last Friday!

Is it me? MuNu issues?

I just want to make sure I haven't fooked around and messed something up.

My Blog Is Dead!

I've posted a new post, but it won't display. (The RSS feed has the new post, though.) Another, and perhaps related, problem is that I can't seem to reset my password on CPanel. When I go to the new site on Collosus I just get a time out. When I attempt to reset my password on the old CPanel I just get a new message to reset on Collosus.

GREAT NEWS

Off Topic and not related to MU.NU stuff necessarily, but many of you know that I have been fighting lung cancer, and many of you don't. OK Guys and gals, beloved friends and casual acquaintences. I just got the CT scan results and
it says "NO EVIDENCE OF METASTATIC DISEASE" as well as
other medical jargon but the bottom line is that I've
won the battle and am on to winning the war against
this damned disease. And though it is not necessarily germain to this blog, it is in fact one of the reasons I was proposed for membership in this great group and am oh so very proud to be a munuvian.

Many of you have offered prayers and support and I'm very, very greatful.

Thanks, from the bottom of my heart.

CPanel and FTP

I have an audio file I'd like to upload to my site, but the username and password I use for CPanel is, apparently, not the same as the CPanel username and password I need to use for FTP.

Can you help, Pixy or Jim? I'd like to upload the file but FTP won't let me/

Thanks!

IP Log

If I wanted the maximum information about a comment posted to the blog, what do I do. I can run the IP address, of course. Do we have any logs that can be used to view more information?

VW over at One Happy Dog Speaks tried to post a comment on my blog and got the following:

Possible Minx Feature

Pixy,
Apparently this doesn't exist in Movable Type, but it would probably be useful to the sysadmin to be able to broadcast a message to all blogs simultaneously.

Maybe it could be saved as a draft post to each blog so it'll be seen when the blogger logs on or as an actual visible post that the blogger will have to physically delete, thereby garaunteeing that the person saw it.

Munuviana was supposed to serve this function, but obviously many Munuvians don't visit. Posting blacklist instructions here again and again doesn't help if the folks who need 'em never see 'em.

E-Mails

Horde hasn't worked for me for some time (which picked up gmroper@gmroper.mu.nu), I used to have gmroper@gmroper.com which I always used via Outlook. Nowadays, I've got gmroper@yahoo.com and gmroper@gmail.com. I'd like to go back to gmroper@gmroper.com or gmroper@gmroper.mu.nu can this be done without Horde? If so, how can I go about setting it up?

Not fixed yet. Good Luck on it.

Sorry, but it's not done yet. I just tried to test under this comment:

Fixed now.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

and got this:

Invalid [] range "y-f" in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/0-apr-credit-card-a.blogspot.com|007.sh| 00rapredittedit.finance4u.us|010.allineare.com|

I so love online credit card spammers. They're my all-time favorite.

Glad I'm not the only one broken. Good luck on the repairs Pix.

Blog Mail

Is anyone else experiencing problems with their blog mail?

I'm not talking about a complete failure to work - it's more like.....some messages aren't getting through.

Am I going technically crazy or am I the only one 'seeing things'....?

(I'd contact Pixy about this......but I tried and cannot be sure the message got through to him.)

UPDATE: Okay, it's official: I am no longer getting any mail. I sent a test message from my home e-mail and it was returned.

Is anyone else having problems with their mail?

UPDATE II: Anyone there?? Hello? Am I talking to myself?!?!
