To me anyway.

I have just figured out how to host my own web site!!!!!!

Not to get too excited yet, but I've tested it by pointing it to the
MEFA site on my hard drive. And it worked.

You can go to http://24.145.167.102/index.html

and see the MEFA site!

But notice that IP address there. It is not a static address. It
will change from time to time because it's my WAN IP leased to me by
Earthlink.

So I've got to look around for a free (I'm far too poor to pay for
anything) service that will link a domain *name* to my changing IP
address. I hear dydns is a good place to start.

So here's a question, would you all mind if I moved the MEFA web site
from the present earthlink.net address to my own server once I figure
this out?

Or shall I just keep them both up until this Awards year is finished
and migrate for next year?

Go for it!

I'd say leave it at earthlink til after this year is done. Might be a few
websites that have it linked from there...

Thanky you, Khazar, for the encouragement. I'm at work, so I haven't had
time to look up the dydns stuff yet, but I will soon. I'm having far too
much fun. ;-)

Good point. It's really not hard for me to update both, so they will both be
available for now. My site points righ to the files that I upload to
Earthlink anyway. ;-) I won't bother changing any of the links just yet.
Next year though...

I was a little worried that we were running out of space for the Awards
banners, so now I won't have to worry about it for awhile. ;-)

I also figured out how to host my own FTP site. :-D And news
server...though I haven't tested that one yet.

Cool. I always like when I fnd geeky new things to play with too..*Grin*

I vote for whatever is easiest on you! But I admit that this is far more technical that I am able to understand, for I am totally technically challenged. But I still vote on whatever is easier on you! Make life easier is MY motto!

I agree with Larian on this one. I know I've got
all my stuff linked to this site and for reasons
known only to my website, any time I try to
change the links, it f***s up royally!!! But
that's just mine. On a more objective note, I
think it would probably be a lot easier to wait
until this year's is done, simply to give
yourself less work to do. Start it when this one
is finished, that way you don't have to rush
anything for any reason. Ultimately, it's your
decision. Just let us all know what the new link
would be if it changes if you don't mind!!! :)

Well, I've got other fish to fry before I work on this much more (except at
work). My fun day with computer technology turned out to be a very not fun
evening with it. And it kept me from my training walk (for the marathon).

Not only will my domain still not work correctly (though an FTP and web
server will), but one of my computers crapped out on me. All I did was take
out it's non-working CD Rom and replace the video card with a better one a
friend had given me. I plugged it back in and it wouldn't show up on the
monitor. So I thought bad video card, despite the fact that it didn't beep
at me. I put my video card back in. Same problem. I tried two old video
cards I had in storage (yep, I'm a hardware hoarder): an AGP and an ISA.
Neither of those worked. I had my server's case open already so I tried all
three of the AGP video cards in it. Mine and the friend's didn't work (and
did beep), but the old AGP card did. So I tried the server's video card in
the recalcitrant computer. Still the same.

Diagnosis: Bad motherboard and two bad video cards.

Fun, huh? Not that I can really afford a new motherboard or video card just
now....

Gotta find a motherboard cheap and maybe that old AGP card will still work
on it.

On the bright side, my other clients do still work and I've switched the
software for GoToMyPC.com from the dead computer to the one I'm typing on
just now. It can browse the server, but the server can't browse it. Which
brings me back to the network problems I had last night.

If there are any fellow techies out there who understand Active Directory,
could we maybe IM tomorrow to see if you can help me figure out what's going
on with my LAN? I thought AD was supposed to be an improvement. One of the
network admins at work thought it might be the DNS. So we edited that.
Then when I got home, I put both clients on to Workgroup so I could then add
them to the domain from there. No such luck. I keep being told the domain
could not be found or connected. Even from the server itself. Very
annoying. And my computers were then stuck off the LAN. The one died
before I could try and get it back on. I was able to restart the server in
NT 4.0 server and thus rejoin my LAN from this computer. Then I rebooted
the server back into Win2K and I'm back to where I was before I tweaked the
DNS.

Sigh.

Can't do the ftp thing in NT 4. That's what started this whole ball rolling
and the eventual upgrade to Win2K server. But to get it to know it was a
domain controller I had to promote it and that started Active Directory
loading whether I wanted it to or not.

And wouldn't you know, all my files for the Train to End Stroke campaign are
on the dead computer. You think I wouldn't be so upset about one computer
being down when I still have three I can use here at home. But I do
different things on each computer. Like this one is used for reading about
5 of my e-mail addresses and Ainaechoiriel's IM. I checked my Trek address
and my Pampered Chef one and the Gmail account I use for Train to End Stroke
stuff on the now-dead pc, and Tarlingen's IM. I'd browse over here while
watching TV over there, etc.

And over there is where the printer was attached. I miss my computer. :-(
