So… it's taking a lot longer than I thought.

I’ve gotten back from vacation mentioned in the previous post…but I have STILL yet to even get on that computer I was working on.

We have been staying busy doing things around the house–stripping off wallpaper, painting, gettin tile, etc.

It is running currently as a single disk system, with a single disk RAId set up (but unused). I haven’t forgotten about it, or anything like that.  I will probably finish this sometime this week, whenever I have time.  Or make time.

Well…crap. My Open Source Quandry

I thought I was all good…until I was reading this (Adventures in Open Source):

It occurred to me that as 2009 rolled around I shouldn’t be blogging about open source on a closed platform like Blogger any more, it was a bit of a contradiction. So I upped sticks and moved to Wordpress on my own server.

Now I am in the same situation (here on Blogger), and have to decide if I care enough about not being on an open source blogging platform (ie WordPress).

It is indeed a bit hypocritical to be an open source enthusiast on a closed More >

"Old" fQ back up…sort of

I got my web host to get everything back together. I set up the domains and whatnot and now it’s back going again. I say “old” because it is really not all that old. Except for the “archive” part.

These URLs point to “Old” fQ:old.factorq.netoldfq.co.ccoldfactorq.co.cc (not yet active)itsatravesty.com (only active through sometime in August)itsatravesty.co.cc

These URLs still point to this (the main site):factorq.netfactorq.co.cc

This will be kind of up and down until I get everything stabilized completely.

Be sure to take note of the poll ———–>and give feedback in the forums, and you know, here as well.

Some more info about the site crash

So, apparently there is a backup of the website.  However the (free) webhost has to re-create my account and set everything back up.

I really can’t complain, I mean…it is a FREE host.  However, lately the outages have been really common, and then now this complete deletion of my account.  pretty crazy.

I think that I will stick with this (blogger), being it is still free, and the uptime is MUCH better.  Also, since I’m not really doing a lot of custom type design or site layout type of stuff, it doesn’t really matter.  I don’t need a custom host to do the types of More >
