Pixy... did I upload the formatted file to you once before, or should I go back over and prep the site again? Now, I did some hand copying of some of my more "important" or favorite posts to refer back to from MT. I assume those will be overwritten by the other old files being imported or will there be duplicate files. Either way, I can have the other site ready in ten minutes as soon as you say you are ready. I'm in Texas so I think its -6 from greenwich(?) mean time. Just let me know.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I have a file from you. I'll check it out and put it in place if it looks good. You'll end up with duplicates of some posts (it doesn't overwrite anything), but you can just delete the ones you don't want.
I'll do this when I get home from work, which is in a couple of hours.

Hiya Pixy!
Honey, if you can get my archives over from Blobsnot...a. It would be great, and b. You're a genius of the highest order cuz I fricked up my template over there....lol. I think I still remember how to get in over there, if ya need any info from that site, let me know what and I'll try to get it for ya.
Don't kill yerself over this, though. It's not like I left the most stellar writing of my life back there, after all. Just 'if or when ya get a chance (or bored enough...lol)'...okay? Thanks, Love.

Mr Bartender - yes, you need to run the Import routine. Click the Import/Export button, select "Import entries as me", and off you go.
I sent you an email, but maybe it got losted...

Java Problems
OK, I still can't upload things from this pc, nor can I rebuild my site or get comments sections on non-Mu.Nu blogs nor my Guest Map working.
It would appear that I have a Java problem on my "re-loved" laptop that I bought.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? It's driving me crazy.

Helen:
re: the Java thing.
Is your recalcitrant laptop running Windows XP with the Service Pack 1 update? Because due to the whole Microsoft Antitrust suit, they nuked their Java in that service pack. You have to install it yourself separately. (might apply for IE 6 updates too, can't remember at the moment.)
Since MS will no longer support their Java Virtual Machine, you'll want to get the one from Sun instead. Here's the download page
If you're using Mozilla/Firebird browsers, drop me an email as there can be a trick to getting it to work.

Hiya Paul-nope, I am bobbing along on Windows 2000, and I took all the upgrades that were on the Windows sheet.
So, do I need that download page one, or...?
Posted by: Helen @ at January 04, 2004 06:21 PM

That's strange.
None of those things should need Java as far as I am aware.
Do you get any errors or is it just a "I click and click and nothing happens" sort of thing?
Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at January 04, 2004 11:55 PM

No error messages, just clicking and clicking and nothing happens. Weirdly enough, some of the buttons work-ew entry, edit entries, template, weblog config, search entries and view site. None of the others work.
Can't comment on most other blogs, since it just shuts down. And the little window says something like: Javascript (0).

Do you have a pop-up stopper? Okay, dumb question. Try this one instead:
Check your security settings in IE. [Tools | Internet Options | Security tab]
If the setting for "Internet" is High or custom that could be preventing scripts from running.

Jim:
Great minds think alike (and fools seldom differ)!
We walked through her security settings & that wasn't the probelm. In the end, it was a very poorly configured ad stopper that was shipped with the machine. It was also trying to suppress 'popups' but giving really weird errors when doing so, instead of saying what it was doing. She's back up to speed now.

One thing I'll have to work on with Minx (previously known as the Blogging Software With No Name) is making cross-blog thingies like the recent posts list update automatically so that I don't have to post comments just to make it update so I can see what people have written recently.
Not that any of us ever do that...

There must be more than this
Or not...
I'm trying to find a good RSS reader so I can read all my blogs in one place. I've used FeedDemon before and that was pretty good, but now I'm trying out clevercactus and I like the layout except that it has major issues in the "Reply on Weblog" button - the posts look weird, I can't do blockquote or any special tags or anything like that.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
HELP!!!

Are these free? I know Say Uncle (link from my blogroll) is using someone's homegrown one that looked ok. Very basic. Kate at Electric Venom had a long post about her ideal aggregator a while back, and I think she found one that at least came close. Try asking her or searching her site.

I use SharpReader and am quite happy with it. It's freeware and if I remember correctly it's the one Kate settled on (which would have been how I found out about it).

I just tried to install SharpReader. First I had to install the MS .NET update, and now every time I try to run SharpReader I get a weird exception error. My PC is also running molassas slow, but that might be some other issue, so I'm not positively blaming .NET and SR on that - yet.

I was recently emailed that when some people try to access my blog, they get this:

Hmmm. That means that their ISP's proxy server couldn't get to MuNu. Which shouldn't happen unless MuNu is actually down. Which it isn't.
Or if you have something on your page which is on another site? An image or... Hmm.
Yes, there's something up. The page loads fine, except for something that doesn't load. And I don't know what it is. If you're not going through a proxy, no problem. If the proxy is configured right, probably no problem. In this case, they get an error even though the page is available.

Lessee... I've got my pictures hosted at the freebie page that came with my cable contract, and they usually are up in in a timely manner, so I would guess it's the quizzes and perhaps the statcounters. Hmmm.
Wonder if I put the quiz picture things in the extended entry, would that take some of the burden off?

Susie - hmmm. It could be munu. It's not Mozilla, because Mozilla itself doesn't have a timeout.
LeeAnn - I think it's one specific image somewhere that's having a problem. Maybe someone can work out which one.

'Twas with sweaty palms and a nervous grin I dialled the fateful numbers. Soon enough, out of the bowels of a city office tower, came he who must be obeyed. Strangely his halo was missing. So were the adoring fans. And there was no flowing grey beard. Nor trumpeting music. Odd, I thought, very odd. We wondered down to sunny Sydney's Circular Quay. That was us at the table next to the very drunken mob throwing plastic spiders at each other. The ones with the pineapple fried rice (it actually came in the pineapple), the duck, the lamb. Soft drinks were ordered...just to recover from the long walk in 32 degrees. Centigrade, people, centigrade. Then a refreshing white wine. The conversation was wide-ranging and free-flowing. Dining with a man with an IQ of 205, such a strong build, a manly physique, and just a hint of his alter ego caused many passers-by to stare and point. Either that or the rice stuck in my teeth. I'm sure it was the former.
Other than that I can't say anything else.
Pixy swore me to a solemn blog oath to never reveal the secrets he divulged today. Unless you too are prepared to make the journey to Sydney, Australia. Home of Munu. Sort of.
That said I may kiss and tell. Ladies get priority. Lots of priority. Or book publishers with outrageous advances. Everyone else has to wait.

People should be aware that the brightly coloured spiders are mostly harmless. Rather, they act as decoys to hold your attention while the deadly dull grey one creeps up behind you and -
Oops, ran out of string. Never mind!

P.S. My halo is in the wash.

My blog was featured on the "Personal Tech" page (Q10) of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution today with the following write up:
I'm new to the blogging world, but I found an interesting blog from Dan Moore at Georgia Tech. He is a nanogeek, and his site seems pretty popular.
I don't know about the popular thing, but the rest, I think, is true!

The NTU Did It
The NTU at work (where I just happened to be running the primary MuNu nameserver) died a horrible death on Christmas Day. Why, I don't know. We got the NTU replaced this morning and everything came back.
My boss is now convinced that we need a backup internet connection, so it's not
all bad.

Is this here?
Everytime I try to SAVE a new entry at Blather Review I'm returned to the Main Menu, and no new entry is posted. Wassup wit dat?
This has happened sporadically in the past, but here I am typing the same dang thing four times and each time I click "Save" I'm back at main menu again. Am I repeating myself repeatedly again? Sorry
UPDATE: Woo hoo! Fifth time was the charm! (My post finally posted.)

Never had that problem myself. I guess the first thing to check would be that you aren't creating drafts as your default setting.
Try a couple using preview instead of save and see if that works or it the problem is only when you are saving right off the bat.

Pixylated Goodness
How about a site tweaking over here at Munuviana? I was talking [e-mail] to Pixy earlier today and he has agreed to let me do a few site tweaks to our group blog.
Now everyone knows that we will never agree on any one thing over here. Hell, we couldn't agree on what color the little logo button should be. So, I don't think I want to go that route and end up in the middle of a big argument.
What I have in mind is this: I want to skin this site with stylesheets from all the MuNuvians. There are some really good designs out there that would look neat in this site everyonce in a while. In order to do that, you will have to e-mail me your stylesheet or favorite skin from your site. Then, I will do the dealy that makes it all work real pretty and everything.
Plus I want to add the show comment script from Scripty Goddess so we don't have to wait for the stupid comment window to pull up so we can read the comments. And I wanted to add a
little color to this main page so it doesn't look so... "templatey". Maybe do a rotating tagline/quote at the top of the page. Send me some ideas for that too.
I'll be able to start working on that as soon as I help Linda get up and running at Civilzation Calls, so you have some time to send me your stuff.
If you want to put your stylesheet in the skins, mail it to: MadfishWillie [at] hotmail.com It would be best if it is saved as a .doc file attachment as my e-mail does weird stuff sometimes to .txt files and will not allow code in the message body.
I'm looking forward to doing this for the group blog and giving it a bit of a facelift.

Mr Pixy:
Do you have a little Pixy Misa button other than the South Park Pixy button on your site? I put that one on the site credits on the SAPSA site but it looks too funny... I'm laughing out lous just thinking about it. Anyway just wondering if you had something else maybe I could use. thnaks

Hey, Bartender--we already have rotating taglines!!! Pixy changes 'em every month or so. We've had "we took both pills," and the current "We spat out the pills because they tasted nasty." There was one about welcoming the alien overlords..dang! my memory is not what it used to be! There must've been at least a half dozen very funny taglines. See if His Landlordness has a copy somewhere for posterity....

DNS Problems!!!
Nice timing guys. (Not you guys. Them guys. At the ISP.) The internet connection to the (old) MuNu nameserver has gone down. Either that, or the router has failed. Of course, I can't contact anyone to find out.
Whichever, the nameserver is not contactable. I've now set up the MuNu webserver as the primary MuNu nameserver. That means that if one part goes, it all goes. But at least one part can't break the other parts...
It seems to be working now, but with DNS there's always a time delay as problems appear and are fixed. This is because your local DNS server will keep a copy of things, and use that copy if there is a problem with the originating server.
Blerp.
The other problem is that I
can't fix snoozebuttondreams.com, because it's not part of mu.nu. Jim - if you can point to 66.111.41.41 as your primary, and leave to old secondary as it is, I'll get that fixed for you.
Update: Damn! This has shut down the pixymisa.net domain as well, so I'm not getting email. That'll teach me not to put both my nameservers on the same network. Pfft. I'm going to go in and see if I can fix the problem now.
More Update: It's the internet connection. I've opened a support ticket, but I don't know when it might get fixed. They're normally pretty good on support, but this is not the best time of year for problems like this.

Let me know if you need the flamethrower recharged--I'm a great "tool-holdin' woman." Hmm...that sounds like something Victor or Ted is going to make a risque remark about! But when things need fixed, and I have a guy to fix 'em, I fetch the screwdrivers and hold the wrenches til needed...

I might just be FUBAR then. I get this message when I try to change the DNS entry:
Unable to add nameservers: Command failed: unable to verify existence of nameserver 66.111.41.41

Damn! Try ns.mu.nu. It might require a domain name instead of an IP.

DNS Problems
I'm having some wierdness here. I can't load any MuNu sites, but I can login and post. Whenever I try to get a MuNu site I get a "Cannot find server / DNS error" message. Anybody else getting this?

I thought I was the only one!!!!! I can't get jenlars to load at all, and I only got my own site by going for the whole practical penumbra rather than the pp.mu.nu. But, as you said, I can log in and post (ad when I hit "view site" my page came up...)
Wierd!!!

Huh! Munuviana loads and reloads fine...but SNB and the cheese are MIA; Tuning Spork and Tim came up ok, but no Victor....Pixy won't load either. It's like a partial power outage!

Helen's there, and I got the Barkeep and Heather, too. Everybody else times out....

I couldn't get to my site earlier, then I switched from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X and it worked fine.
Macs are strange machines.

I can't get to mine, or to anyone else's for that matter. I can only get to them via the login page for mu.nu, that page seems to be able to reach them if I click on "view site". They won't load otherwise.
And considering my site meter registers 1 visitor so far today, I have to say something is amiss. I don't think I am all bing and special or anything, but I should have more than 1, even on Christmas. Don's page only listed 4. Something must be amiss.

Spelling Checker
I know everyone thinks I'm this weird freaky guy, but I ran across this cool thingy that EVERYONE needs to install on their system (except maybe the Mozilla Monsters as it is for IE based browsers).
I was browsing through Electric Venom and guest blogger Kevin recommended
this spelling checker. I linked over to the site, downloaded, installed, and tested it. It works friggin great. I'll have to add
friggin to my custom dictionary among my other more... shall we say... colorful language.
It is freeware for non-commercial use and has some neat options. Easy to use, you just do your regular data entering in the
Entry Body box and either hit the new button on your toolbar or access it via the Tools menu. The button is ugly, but what the hell, the program works.
I just ran it through this post and it caught everything! Works like a champ!

Two New MuNus
It's been quiet for a while, but now that my computers are merely smouldering instead of being actively en flambe, it's time to welcome some more Munuvians to the roster: Chris of Semi-Intelligent Thoughts and Linda of Civilization Calls. They're still settling in, but that shouldn't stop anyone from giving them a warm Munuvian welcome!
Also, some of you are still waiting for your blogspot archives to be loaded. Mr Bartender, Tom, and... Simon? I'll check that I still have your files and they'll be ready for loading in the next couple of days. Remember, though, that you have to push the button (due to the way MT works) so leave a comment here so I can co-ordinate who gets to push the button when. We can't have Tom loading Helen's archives again, can we?

GigaMu
MuNu is now pushing out about a gigabyte a day. And that's without me hijacking the server to download anime. So traffic has roughly doubled since the last time I checked on it... Whenever that was.
Our current server has a bandwidth allocation of 100GB per month, so we're still well within bounds. However, I'm planning to get a new server with another provider, which for only $9 extra per month will give us a terabyte to play with. (Yay!)
Also, it won't be on a network blacklisted by the anti-Spam people, so we'll be able to use it for email.

Will all our text still display upside down?
Posted by: Ted @ at December 24, 2003 12:01 PM

Yes. You will need to either invert your monitor, or stand on your head while reading, just as you do now.
Technology is wonderful, but it can't fix everything.

Update from Mr H
Mr. H has provided me with the following (rather optimistic) timetable for the Blogging Software With No Name:
| Early January | "Dog Food" Release | Ambient Irony moves to BSWNN. Chaos ensues. |
|
| End January | Experimental Release | A (probably very buggy) version that will be open for Munuvians to play with. |
|
| End February | Alpha Release | A version with all the initial features at least mapped out, if not necessarily fully implemented or debugged. |
|
| End March | Beta Release | A release with all the initial features implemented, but not necessarily fully debugged. |
|
| AprilVersion 1.0 | Never run version 1.0 of anything! |
How can you contribute? Suggest a name! And Mu-Vable Type has already been considered and rejected.
It's likely that for the first week or two of January, Ambient Irony will be having problems with sending and receiving pings. Don't worry about it.

Thanks Rob. That would be a big help.
I'll let you know when the experimental release is up so you can take a look.

Aside from the name, I don't remember if I'd mentioned this before, but a way to view what images we have uploaded into our 'images' directory would be nice. Name, height/width, size. Not necessarily to manipulate them, but to remember what's there.
Posted by: Ted @ at December 29, 2003 11:59 PM
15
Yep. That's the "simple file manager" I... Uh, that is, Mr. H, mentioned.
I wasn't thinking of showing height & width for images, but it's a very good idea.
