Firebot Downtime – September 24th and 25th, 2009
Starting now, and continuing for at least several hours, the server that hosts firebot will be down for an upgrade.. since the other server here is being kind enough to donate its “old” CPU and motherboard… The server will be being upgraded from an circa-2003 Athlon XP 2400+ to an Athlon 64 X2 4000+, plus […]
Firebot Outage Report: 7/14 – 7/16/2009
The last few nights, between 1am and 3am 4am, firebot has been offline, because of an ongoing connectivity issue. At the current time, I have no eta for when the issues will be resolved. The situation is pretty straightforward though, the outages are due to construction along the highway where I live and firebot is […]

Apache, mod_ssl, and SNI on Windows
Yesterday, kind of out of the blue, I happened to remember SNI, Server Name Indication, an extension to TLS for web servers that happen to want to use VirtualHosts on HTTPS/SSL connections. I have just such a webserver here at home, which serves a few domains and has a self-signed certificate with Subject Alternative Names […]

If its unowned, you may buy it from the bank…
Most of you are aware that I run firebot, and that he’s been around, a relatively long time now, where long is since around the Firefox 0.9 launch (June 6th? maybe, can’t really remember, and the launch was the 14th.) in 2004. Starting as a bug-reporting bot, I eventually changed him to running mozbot, the […]
Miscellaneous Academia

Its an odd thing, having things to do again, with dates, and requirements, and stresses, and concerns, et all. Tonight’s exam was in Astronomy, one of 4 […]
