What's New

Global namestyle replaces the regional one in prep for pending rollout. Lisp domain wireframes converted to ucw from cl-http, actual restoration of the bls2iq JSP and beans. Note that CSS Zen Garden appears to have restabilised but it's DNS expires shortly and I cannot vouch for it's future stabilty but will automate the adaptive mechanisms that intercept domain outages for general use by that time. All the broken/empty wiki pages/links from the decommissioning of the old external server should be fixed. The first new external server should be online by May Day.

Noticed an access to the mensa pages, haven't restored the jsp there, just the Tomcat service supporting Alice (JKnecht/Seldon on Dominion Text), will do so within next 2 biz days.
02.04.2007 | 4 Wind, 4704 |
Offline for roughly 5 hours due to power fluctation and failure of both ISPs.

The CSS Zen Garden name apparently changed hands. Seems to be up regulary now.

The CSS Zen Garden seems to be down often except during the North American biz day in some unclear interval. The entire domain seems to drop out, and I have no other ready solution than to monitor and manually drop it out of what you see from here when it is offline. Hopefully this will pass by the time the name is renewed. A formal solution for this sort of thing will be forthcoming.

meansofproduction.biz registered (c. 11:30 GMT).

The main servers for this dominion will be unavailable for 3 days on or about the 29th of this month.

Time Warner restored service. To thier credit they are promising a rate adjustment. May be some disruption on that route when they remount the cable which is currently lying on the ground. Will be moving whole LAN in next month or so anyway but the disruption should be minimal compared to the decomissioning of erejuan at Interland and the Buffalo Friday the 13th disaster. Note that the former 'Friends and Family' link in the navigation to your left now says Jati Ren Juan (in an amalgam of Latin and Hanzi).

Recovery from the recent natural disaster in Buffalo not yet complete, the ISP that serves our Tomcat servers not back online yet.
Dedicated server at (formerly Interland, now peer something) server farm scratched and all services moved into home LAN. This broke many processes and services. We are working on new mechanisms which will allow us to deploy the content of these domains to new dedicated servers at hosting which can be changed more or less at will.
Note that there is a sharp distinction between our personal projects which most of the web content you can see here is about and those contracted and appearing on our professional resume as unlike our paid work, nothing produced here has yet gone "production". But look out, it's coming soon!
