09/10/2007 Entry: "What Happened to My Website?"

Boy, I am not sure what happened to my webserver but it was an alarm bell. I have been down for several days and a reboot did not take care of the problem. Last time I checked inot to site I deleted the Galaptic Logs. Last night I edited the server config file to delete the virtual server Galaptic and things started to work. Time to get a backup somewhere. My son said he has a spot but I think it is an all MS based server so many of my perl and this blog will no longer work. I would have to replace the blog with Wordpress and this might be a good thing.

I have been on the boat a lot and the season is ending now. In a way I am ready for it to end. I moved aboard on May 8th and have intended to go through October 23th. Fighting the fall winds and coolness to run up and take a shower, heating with a portable 1500W heater and the general messing that it takes robs energy and I seem to not have a lot of that since the cataract surgery. Maybe next season will bring a new direction and determination.

Today I am in Indiana and working from the home office this morning. This afternoon will be a trip to Fort Wayne to talk to a man and then back to the boat in Saugatuck. This will be a lot of driving for me today but I do not want to have to get up early tomorrow to drive to work in Grand Rapids. It is probably better to stay on the boat tonight. Maybe the weather will end up deciding the equation.

The forcast today is mostly cloudy but I see a hint of sun poking through down by the lake. I cannot go down there because the mosquitoes are so bad. The past two years have seen few of the pesky critters but after the two weeks of late August rain it is like the Alaska tundra down there. Just to mow the lawn takes a lot of "OFF" insect repellent.
