A Time I Logged Off the Internet 001

I wish to dispel a myth…

For years, folks have accused me of NEVER logging off the internet…

I DO!

At LEAST once a week, during the spring, summer and fall!

You want Proof?

A Time I Logged Off the Internet 001
A Time I Logged Off the Internet 001

How is that?

I setup my camera in the far corner of my yard, and used my iPod Touch and TriggerTrap to record the “session”…

Then in Adobe Photoshop CS 5.1, I combined over 30 individual images into a composite, which you see above.

This was very painful, and required a lot of RAM and numerous files… and ‘Yes”, I’m still 32-bit…

But the end result, I have ‘proof’ that I have done ‘work’ outside of the internet!

I am still working on a proposal to ‘off shore’ this task to non-terrestrials…

Details to follow…

Sorry folks!

I was adding some ‘stuff’… Then BOOM!

I was Off-Line!

Only now, am I getting over it!

More Details to follow!

Update (11/16/2010 10:32 PM) Not sure what happen, but I can tell you what I did…

Initially, I was just updating my blogs, and was doing some Category editing, when I made Modification, and BOOM!

At first, the site would not come up, and when it did,it was limping…

Within an hour, I was getting emails from my host companies tech support:

“Recently your website has been moved from your regular application to a suspect pool because your site has recently been crashing the application pool numerous times along with crashing the suspect application pool.”

This was kinda bad…

Finally, I got to the Admin pages, and started to poke around, the logs where not helping…

After some testing, and removal of “stuff”, I narrowed it down to just the “Blog” page…

Got a good backup of my database, and deleted the DNN Blog 4.0.0 module and associated dbs tables, after which, I was finally able to access the Blog.aspx page.

During this, I managed to also do the following:

  • Upgraded to 05.05.01 (22)
  • Telerik.Web.UI.dll 2010.2.713.35 is in my /bin
  • Blog Upgraded to 04.01.00 RC

From here, I created a fresh new blog with 04.01.00 RC, and then did a very lengthy restore of the database info back into the blog.

Unfortunately, it seems that I have lost the date/times on my comments…

Needless to say, something NAILED my Blog!

DNN 5.1.4

  • New Admin Interface –
  • Seems quicker –
  • New HTML/Text Editing interface –

DNN Blog 4.0.0 Module
