without a net

i've posted an article with some thoughts i've had lately about living with (and without) computers.

comment posting

i plan to post two articles here soon, so i finally got around to making comment posting a little more abuse-proof and re-enabling it. it's been turned back on for a couple of days and has foiled the spambots so far, so give it a try if there was something added here recently about which you wanted to reply.

chicago

i've posted some photos from a short trip to chicago.

grandcentral

i was just approved for a beta account with grandcentral.com, which seems terrific so far. i'm curious to know what they'll charge once they're out of beta, but in the meantime, i've added a flash applet from them which you can use to call me. just enter your name and phone number, and they'll call you and try to connect you to me.

move finished

everything's been moved to linode now; let me know if you see any problems!

linode

the computer that hosts jeffcovey.net started throwing kernel panics recently. it seemed to be overheating, and replacing the power supply and fixing the cpu fan helped for a time, but it's continued to be stable for progressively smaller periods. i've decided to try hosting with linode instead of nursing it back to health.

it's been very handy to have my server in the next room all these years and be able to add whatever hardware i want to it, but my life has become busy enough of late that it's worth it to me to just pay someone else to worry about hardware and connectivity instead of spending a day with a screwdriver plugging and unplugging and coaxing a machine back to life every few months.

so far, i've been very happy with linode's way of doing things, and they have a high reputation among the oftc crowd. we'll see how it goes.

if you're reading this, it means dns has propagated to you and you're reaching jc.net at linode. i hadn't planned to make the move quite so quickly, but when i woke this morning, the file transfer was done and the old server wasn't even finishing its boot sequence, so i went ahead. not everything's in place (comments are down for the moment), but at least it's up and running.

wheeling

i grabbed a few photos on my way through wheeling yesterday.

rialto ripples redux

i offered my guitar trio arrangement of this george gershwin rag to mutopia back in 2003, but they were wary of the copyright and wouldn't take it until 70 years after the composer's death. gershwin died this day in 1937, so to celebrate, i updated the files for the latest lilypond version and will submit them to mutopia again. cross your fingers!

new hard drive

we came back from a wonderful new year's party^[1] and slept for a day, then i got up and put the new hard drive that's been sitting around for a few weeks into jeffcovey.net. it's a fresh debian installation, but everything seems to be back up and running. let me know if you see any problems.

hope you had a happy holiday season with family and friends, and that the new year brings you all the best!
