The cost of estrip this month
Category: server

Holy crap. My first FIOS bill from Verizon to serve estrip came today and it is $321!!

That is for one month and some weeks of service, plus setup fee, plus router, plus taxes. It looks like it will be about $115.00/month. So if anyone wants to/can donate that would be awesome as I pay for that all out of pocket. You can donate by clicking on the donate link above the userpics to the right.

The move is complete
Category: server

The new server is now running over at (e:fing)'s It should be much faster than before. Tell me if you notice anything weird.

Now that I pay $100/month for estrip.org you all should entertain me with more journals or donate.

When I was looking in Amherst I hoped that one day I would be an ISP. All of my wildest dreams have come true. All thanks to Estrip.org...or is it eatstrip.com ;)

mrmike - 07/03/08 15:05
Yea! (e:fing) for living out in a Fios rich suburb

tinypliny - 07/03/08 14:34
Kewl. Congrats!!
I am not sure how entertaining my dull journals are so I took the alternate route. :)

Estrip Downtime on thursday
Category: server

There might be some downtime for estrip.org on tuesday. I am going to be moving to server from Artvoice to a private residence on a new business FIOS acct I opened for estrip. This might cause some downtime depending how I end up doing the DNS switchover.

Don't worry - nothing will go be lost - the server is just physically moving locations.

leetee - 07/01/08 06:55
FIOS... cool...

Uhm... do you mean Thursday or Tuesday? I can live without estrip *sob* honestly, i can...

I miss the hell out of you guys, and Meg and I are going to try and get there, but if we can't both make it I'll be there...

boxerboi - 06/03/08 18:58
i'm there if tinypliny will be my date

metalpeter - 06/03/08 17:34
First of all (e:ladycroft) sounds like from the date you will be In the states I will get to see you.

(e:josuha) The parade is on Sunday I think people line up sometime in the morning at Kleinhans. The Dykes on Bikes parade is Saturday night maybe 7 or 7:30ish.

If there is a party that night of the 7th I'm free from what I know of.

jenks - 06/03/08 15:08
i have a work party that afternoon, and I don't know how late it will go, but maaaaybe....

joshua - 06/03/08 12:36
When is the parade anyway? I never know until I hear the house music thumping during the pre-parade parade the day before.

ladycroft - 06/03/08 11:52
i'm not in the country until june 11th. guess i'll miss everyone :(

fellyconnelly - 06/03/08 10:55
this is the closest i'm going to get to the gay pride parade, i'm definetely in!

lauren - 06/03/08 10:21
definite possibility for us although i have to admit I might be interested in some post dyke march dancing in da club :)

leetee - 06/03/08 10:11
I'm free... i thought the orientation for my new job was going to be, as they said, "nine consecutive days", but it turns out that means, in NY State government speak, "nine consecutive business days". (e:uncutsaniflush) has to work the next morning though... :(

brit - 06/03/08 06:29

Estrip short outage possible
Category: estrip

Paul,

Just a heads up, one of our two T1 circuits is totally out, so we're essentially running at half speed. Just in case you noticed any slowdowns, that'd be why... I just discovered there isn't so much as link lights from the telco on the circuit card so not good news...

I'm working with Level3 to see what's up - they did warn they might have to do "intrusive troubleshooting" - i.e. take the circuit offline and test it in loopback mode. Last time we had a problem like this, they insisted on testing the good circuit as well as the trouble one, leaving us totally disconnected... so if they go that route again there might be a brief (few minutes) of total outage. Here's to hoping not... that's all I know so far though, but figured I'd pass it on.

Seems like everything was okay so far.
