- I just registered arrowkey.com. It’s a cool name, no?
- My jspace.org domain came online. I’ve put my former weblog, J-Space there, which used to live at http://jake.sonic.com but which I had to abandon for a couple of months after leaving Sonic Solutions. I discovered something interesting. JenniCAM has given way to content-rot. See what I wrote about Lawyers and Content Rot.
- By the way, if you see any broken links on J-Space, let me know.
- I’m learning all ins and outs of DNS. I’ve got my own primary and secondary DNS servers running now, but I know very little about how to use them. The incentive was to enable use of virtual hosting in Frontier. As a side note, it’s cool that register.com sets up DNS for you, but it would be nice if they had more instruction about running your own name servers.
- Still working on DNS. I seem to have successfully changed braincase.net to point at my IP, but can I point more domains at the same IP? We’ll see. I’m working on getting jspace.org and my newest, arrowkey.com, to point to those IPs as well. It’s laborious. Apparently I can’t do this. I’m going to try pointing them all at ns1/ns2.braincase.net.
- Sally and I went to Flax art supply store today, and get a mattboard cutter, some more paints and a bunch of mattboards, so we can mount matt the paper pieces for her showing. We also got some film so we could make pictures to take around to cafes that display art for sale. Then we need frames and business cards. We had no idea how expensive this stuff is.
Month: <span>January 2000</span>
- The domains I registered yesterday came online today. Yay!
- I did a whole lot of nothing today. I mostly just slept. It figures after having been out until four, and then geekin’ out until almost seven (collecting lists of unregistered dot-coms).
- The gig at Skip’s Tavern last night went well. We all had a good feeling about it.
- You may have noticed that I haven’t updated the news for the last couple of days. It seemed a bit redundant to me, since it was super easy to find. I can’t really justify the half-hour a day I was spending doing the HTML, when people who would want to read it would probably just have gone to the source anyway. Do you agree or disagree?

- I just registered braincase.net and jspace.org with register.com. They should be working tomorrow, or at least by Monday.
- I’m playing at Skips Tavern on Cortland Avenue in San Francisco tonight. Stop by! (We played there last night too.) Update: All done with the gig- it went well! We were all having fun, and our dynamics were really good. I went home with a good feeling.
- I’m working on figuring out how to set up DNS at home. I guess I need to choose a domain name, but unfortunately all the ones I wanted are taken already. Humph.
- I ordered dinner from waiter.com tonight, and though it was relatively painless, I think that there were too many steps to go through. It would have been easier to order on the phone. Now that I have a login, maybe it won’t be do difficult.
- …Which brings me to this: It would be nice if there were an open-standard for transmitting personal information to remote websites with one button click. Sites that were enabled for this could update the information on your own machine, for example, when you haven’t entered data for a particular field, and then other websites you visit in the future could have access to information you’ve already input (with the user’s consent, of course). I seem to spend a lot of my time entering this information into CGIs over and over again.
