Tech: (From Max) Mudcat Is Back

Wow. 2:10pm to 3:55am to get her back up. And I only took a break to run and get a new rug for the living room. Damn, I have no idea what went wrong, and no idea why it gave me so much trouble to get going again. OK for now, but we'll be limping until I get the parts that I ordered. Maybe a week or so. More later if I learn more, but for now, I'm going to bed.

I have to rebuild the forum index for searching yet. I'll do that tomorrow night.

Does Max really only get 14 minutes sleep a night? With a new baby, its quite likely in my experience!

Max, It is appreciated. All of it!

Our granddaughter stayed over a couple of nights. It was wonderful, but I had forgotten... It's been 32 years since we'd had a baby around here. Now, it's so quiet, I can't sleep...

I thought it may help in your diagnosing a problem to know that I am receiving the following message when I try to access various threads. It also happened when I tried to post a reply to one thread, I went into preview mode and it allowed me to send from there. Hope this helps.

Hey Max, yesterday I mailed a small donation and stuck a baby outfit in with the check. I also bought the CD set. (The last child support check of the year is going toward good works and social obligations).

I've lost track of the computers-Max-uses-for-Mudcat discussion--where does Mudcat stand as far as hardware is concerned? Computer prices have come down so much lately, I'd be willing to chip in to buy a new one or two. just say the word.

Good to have the 'cat back, Max, and thanks for your herculean efforts, new-father status notwithstanding!

I'm pushing those CDs and may buy another set in 2003.

Think of a man like that lavishing that much time on a newborn, and you can see what kinda dad Max can be. Heck, by comparison, the little bundle is going to seem like a piece of cake, Max!

Cheers, Max; particularly keeping up your spirits in spite of the jeers from folks who just don't "get it" about your dedication to this project.

Love you, and thanks a million times for all you do.

No, Sorcha, you didn't mis it...we're all just teasin' him. I had thought maybe it was down because he was busy with the Birth of a MudcatBaby, but not yet.

(Just a note to all in general, imo it's better to say MudcatBaby, rather than Mudbaby, since racists use the term Mudpeople, etc.)

I sent a small package with "onesies," and mentioned it in hopes of perhaps generating a "shower" of such baby gifts (hint, hint). Perhaps this deserves a separate thread?

Adding my thanks for all the work you do, Max

Now all I gotta do is get my isp/browser problems fixed cos I had so much trouble getting on tonight - Mudcat was ok, my connections weren't - but my very own expert will be back from his holidays soon & I'll ask his advice.

Has anyone noticed the lower case d beside the number of messages at each thread title? I clicked on it and it sets up the thread in descending order!!1 Neat!!! Is this something new or am I just late in catching up with technology??

Banjer,

It took a few tries to figure it out--I don't care for it myself. I have to read these things in the order they appear for them to make any sense.

I still ahve a problem getting into the Forum on Netscape. Main page works fine,as does the chat, but Netscape apparently doesn't like "threads.cfm" anymore. I can access the Forum on MS Explorer, but I hate to use that thing.

I was looking for something else and came across this old thread. For the entertainment value it's good, but for the nostalgia it's kind of heartbreaking - so many of these folks are gone.

Mudcat returns, but it is a struggle. Max, we need information from you to start applying for grants or to run a fund-raising campaign to get Mudcat back on firm footing again.
