Well, my upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu was mostly successful...

My tabs are weird in scripts so I'm going to try to manually post the latest newsletter here and hatch out the archive.. Kind of a bummer, but it 8:20PM..

I probably just need to work on it in the morning :)

Take care,

Hey Janis,
Just a heads up, but since your update trying to access any of the areas on www.filegate.net gets a permissions error from apache. Not sure if the update somehow updated your directory permissions or changed the apache user? Anyways, figured I'd pass it along. Best of luck!

Yeah, I noticed that after the fact... I probably do have to change the apache user. Well, I'll eventually get it going again.

BTW, I still have to do another upgrade...

do more than that.

Weather has kept me offline for quite a bit. We've had tornadoes and
severe flooding in the state in the last several days. And, I saw tonight
that one of the forecast models is bringing a hurricane to southeast
Texas late next week. When I see the other models latch onto it, I'll be concerned. But, I've seen so many model runs where it's talking about a
massive hurricane, tornado outbreak, winter storm, etc. on one run...and
on the next model run, it's gone.

... You have my 2 cents worth. Now, can I have my change??

Yeah, it seems necessary changes are coming fast and furious for people's systems. That's good.

I try to trust the weather-boys... because you know, the day I figure "it won't happen", it WILL :(

Well, we are still waking up, drinking coffee over here (it's 10:28AM) but we will attach the 'hardware' monster in a short while.. eek.

Hi Daryl,

Hi, Janis...

The hackers wait to see what vulnerability and patches Microsoft and
the others release...then they release others, to put egg on their face.

Yep. The only "true forecast" is the tagline below.

I drink a quart or two of diet green tea citrus a day. Doing that, and
no longer drinking soda pop, I haven't had any kidney stones.

Since I updated to Kim's new release of Toy-5 I've not had trouble with the webserver. I am replying now from the web interface. :)

My setup is not complicated though. I have no extras at all, just BBBS answering with it's own web bbs presence.

Whatever the issue happens to be I hope you can get that resolved without too much trouble.

Janis,

That's good.

One woman said that she'd rather have quintuplets, in hard labor, with
no epidural, than one kidney stone. That pretty much sums it up. Another
woman said "If us women can pass a baby, you men can pass a kidney stone".
I told her "Unlike the female cervix, the male penis can't dialate".

I notice the same thing on my own. The link points to the correct hostname but my BBS is on a different port so it doesn't work here either.

I'll have to figure out a solution to that.

It's amazing the things one forgets because one set up this and that batch file or script so loooong ago :( For instance, I _think_ today I got most of the web pages at filegate.net working again.

I'm getting there, though it is a pain in the butt <g>

One of my members said you were back up. So just now i tried connecting to the
filegate.net and it was down. I've moved my feed to Eric Renfro, 1:135/300 so you can remove me from your ststem config.

Will do, glad you found a good feed :) I did put the old system back up for a while, but it was only so that I could copy all the file echo areas to the new system.

Hope everything else is going well on your end.

I'm sometimes amazed at the the files that still need to be updated over here..

But at least I'm getting there... :)

I noticed the site was back up but not all in working order yet. I'm patiently
waiting for the ftp daemon to come back because I have a couple new files for you.

Thanks for the update. Nice to hear from you, Janis, and glad you're making progress.

This version of Ubuntu is quite a bit different than the version I was running earlier... a bit of a bummer that way :(

I'm going to disable the first ftp daemon I installed and try using a different one ... that might make a difference... I hope :)

Andy, for now, it would be great if you would email any new files to me as an attach to jmklou@gmail.com.

Let me know if that works for you, please!

Got them, thank you! I did hatch them out, hopefully they made it out to everyone. Apache is still a pita... and so is the ftp server I initially installed. Quite a bummer.
