From Max: Mudcat Update

Subject: From Max: Mudcat Update From: Max Date: 25 May 06 - 02:12 PM Here's half an update. The other half is at least a week or two away. First, today I am having Fiber Optics installed to my house in an effort to improve reliability. 9 out of 10 times that the Mudcat is down is due to our ADSL line losing its connection. After replacing my router 3 times, it is clear that no router can help. Fiber Optics is a small capital investment. It'll cost me a few hundred dollars extra for June, but assuming all goes well, it will save me about $150 per month from that point forward. A no-brainer really. Secondly, Emily and I are expecting our 2nd child (I have a daughter, Alexis now 16, from a previous marriage). Looks to be a November baby. All is well so far with the baby, but Emily gets very ill with pregnancy, so this will certainly be our last child. We're toughing through it all pretty well, Emily is one tough cookie. Lily is very excited to have a sibling. Won't know if its a boy or girl till it pops out. Jeff and I have begun the task of fixing some of the problems with the mudcat as well as implementing a few new features to combat certain annoyances. I will explain more in a week or two. I think I'm forgetting at least one more thing, but I guess I can post it later. Cheers. |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Update From: Nigel Parsons Date: 25 May 06 - 02:18 PM Yes Max: Congratulations on your good (personal) news. Anything you do for The 'Cat is greatly appreciated by the greater (if less voiciferous) majority. Keep up the good work, but not at any cost of neglecting Emily or Lily All the best Nigel |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Update From: Max Date: 25 May 06 - 08:22 PM FYI, there will likely be small inconsistencies while we transition to the new Fiber Optic network. The DNS changes may take 24 to 26 hours. I began them tonight, so the clock is ticking. Our new IP is 71.162.244.125 |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Update From: Jeri Date: 25 May 06 - 08:27 PM I couldn't get in for a bit, but the ping went to the above IP - it just wasn't up yet, I guess. I got it fine now, and it's zooming along like nobody's business. Fastest I've ever seen it! I'll send you some bucks when I remember how to get into my PayPail account. |

Subject: RE: From Max: Mudcat Update From: Charley Noble Date: 25 May 06 - 09:25 PM Thank the great Thunder God that no one is really explaining what this change really is in terms of thermodynamics, the fiber optic thing, not the baby. I never could quite grasp the theory behind thermodynamics, let alone any application to real life. I was initially intrigued by the Heisinberg Uncertainty Principle and Planck's Constant, which as I recollect if the Constant were rather larger than claimed I might not even be able to find my way back home reliably sober. That reminds me of an old song called "Charlie the Midnight Marauder," I wonder why? Anyway, JudyB was essentially correct, but let me extend my best wishes to the successful implementation of the great cosmic muffin and your growing family. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
