website

[GeekSpeak in brackets]

Due to an unannounced change to [the Unix file permissions on] my website's server, the Gallery is currently unavailable. [All the gallery-specific data files (pictures) were, until today, owned by httpd:httpd, which is the webserver account, which is normal. Today, they are owned by me. This causes issues because the webserver account can't modify files owned by someone else, and chmod 777 doesn't seem to help either, which I think is very strange. 777 means read/write by the world.] I've submitted a support ticket to which the response was, essentially, "This is a feature, not a bug." Why it changed last night, no one seems to know.

Currently, I am attempting to upload a slightly updated version of Gallery [and will run through the upgrade script to find out if the permissions issue can be worked around].

Sorry for the missing picutres.

Alan has really been pushing this whole blog thing on me...ok, ok, so it really only took him creating a fun new website that's easy to post on to make me want to do this...but for all of those who I told (Marta) that I wouldn't and couldn't start this thing...ahhh, I've given in. :)

And, by the way I love reading other people's blogs as well (Marta, Aj, Gregg) So I hope you'll let me into the "community."

I decided to give duckfamily.net a facelift this evening. Michelle commented that it's like her need to rearrange furniture in a room in the house once a week. I agree.
