Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - Server Maintenance
The server CPU was downclocked from 166 MHz. to 133 MHz due to instability issues. The change should elimate unexpected server failures similar to those that have occurred in the past, one causing an entire system rebuild.

Monday, November 4, 2002 - Website Rebuild
The first phase of a site architecture redesign has been completed. Most of the changes will be invisible to most users of this site. For those of you interested, more PHP will be integrated into the site. To what extent has not been determined yet, but there is a chance that their will be a complete conversion. Please report any broken links or other problems to me via the Contact Page. I also added the Search Page again. It appears that my website has now been included into the Google search database. Many of these links may become dead due to the redesign.

Saturday, November 2, 2002 - E-mail Server
This site now acts as an email server! You can now send email to me via the Contact Page regarding this website. I might even give you your own @nabber00.hopto.org email address if you want it!

Sunday, September 29, 2002 - The Milk Challenge
My roommate Jon attempts to drink one gallon of milk in one hour! Can he do it? I caught it on video so you can find out for yourself! He initally did this on a volunteer basis, and after about 15 minutes and 1/3 of a gallon, was not feeling very well and was ready to give in. I then made him the offer that I would pay him $20 (USD) if he drank it all or puked trying. It was well worth the money!
