It was a really terrible two days to the most awful customer service I have experienced in my life but we have switched up to a larger block of IPs at time warner. They wouldn't let me simply add new IPs, I had to relinquish the old ones in order to get the new ones.

Once they reset the modem I couldn't get into the server. I ran home but (e:terry) had taken my monitor to work and was not there so he couldn't bring it back. (e:joe) and I ended up carrying the television into the basement. There I was trying to setup bridged networking on the floor with a 50in TV and a mouse and keyboard which could not reach the group and dangled on a USB wire tether.

One thing after another, we finally got it up and then accidentally when removing the TV we pulled the plug on the server. Luckily after a while it came back up good. Apparently, the UPS is dead. Good to know.

Then the DNS service I am using only had 30 minute minimum TTL so we had to wait 30 minutes for that to update.

Everything is back to normal, please continue to enjoy. Our new IP is 50.75.140.76

Just a reminder the New Years Party is tonight. 24 Linwood ave. Feel free to bring friends. Bring some drinks or food if you want. Ball drop at midnight, hopefully with a new ball this year.

The site will be down for the first time that I can remember in 5 years as the electricity at my house is being turned off to replace the circuit breaker today. It will come back on when the electricity is back.

Due to the sudden nature of the situation I didn't have time to move it somewhere offsite.

We would like to invite you guys to our annual New Years Eve Party. Its 12/31/2012 which this year is a Monday Night ;( Starts around 9PM @ 24 Linwood Ave. Hope to see you all there. Bring drinks, bring all your friends, the more the merrier.

I updated the estrip mobile app for android. It now counts the attachments for you and removes them when done posting. It also uses a whole new way of posting using an async task. You should be able to update from Google Play.
