We’re no longer located at longren.d2g.com. The DNS2Go service decided they needed to start charging money for their service. I don’t want to pay any money, so I moved to another free service called No-IP.

So, out new domain name is:
http://longren.no-ip.org

I picked No-IP because they have a pretty nice linux client. It works well on the router, so it was really easy to set up. It took about 5 minutes to do.

I had my court date today. I ended up having to pay $90. I figured I’d have to pay a lot more than that. Here’s how the money was broken up:

Non-Scheduled Charge: $25.00
Fines: $50.00
Court Fee: $15.00

The judge asked me how I plead. Of course, I plead guilty. He set my fine at $50, and that was about it. I went to the other room and paid my fees.

I upgraded the kernel on nightengale to 2.4.20-pre6. I’ve fallen behind in kernels. VectraXW (the web server) is still running 2.4.18 (the latest stable is 2.4.19). I don’t think I’ll be able to get 2.4.19 to work on VectraXW though because it failed horribly while booting on another machine (the router), which is the same type of machine as VectraXW.

2.4.19 even broke some stuff on nightengale. It broke my mouse if one of the usb modules were compiled as a module (as opposed to being compiled into the kernel).
