August 27th, 2003:

Please tell me that this isn’t a little baby version of those things I hate with the sharp fangs and deadly venom:

Sorry about the poor image quality. It’s dark out so, I can’t really use my telephoto, and I’m not getting any closer to it than I have to. So I’ve cropped that one from a full-framed high-res 6.1MP image. Yes… I was pretty far away. Maybe I’ll take another picture with my flash through the bedroom window, if I can keep the glare down. It’s getting dark out, so I’m not going back outside.

Does any one know what this is? Please tell me it’s not a Cicada. It’s on my porch and I am NOT happy about it. It’s about the size of a nickel, now, but I’m sure it’ll be basketball sized before it’s ready to hunt and kill me.

In order to keep this project from turning out like Inklog (never actually getting finished), I’m making the WebHosting server available to those of you who would like accounts.

The control panel is NOT finsihed. This means that, if you’d like to add an email account, add a domain name, change DNS records, or alter your email aliases… you must contact either myself or Justin. Hopefully, as the users start piling up and the requests for changes thickens considerably, it’ll motiviate me to get the rest of the control panel finished.

Please email either Justin or myself with your domain name and desired username if you are still interested in hosting. If you’d rather wait until the control panel is finished, then hold tight. Hopefully, we’ll have it by this weekend… but I’m not making any promises. Getting my butt in gear to do so much tedious work simply to serve less than a few requests a day is not easy.
