[14:54]<@BC_Programming> YESS
[14:54]<@BC_Programming> I fixed it
[14:54]<@BC_Programming> finally
[15:01]<+camerongray> oh?
[15:02]<@BC_Programming> www.bc-programming.com is working again
[15:02]<+camerongray> Ahh cool
[15:02]<@BC_Programming> it was broken because my webhost changed a DNS A record to point at cloudflare...
[15:04]<@BC_Programming> that was a weird problem. www.bc-programming.com wasn't working, bc-programming.com, bcprogramming.com, and www.bcprogramming.com were though
[15:05]<@BC_Programming> Cloudflare looks OK really, but I don't want to be forced to use it, especially when the migration was handled about as well as a drunken pidgeon trying to drive
[15:40]<+camerongray> haha
[15:40]<+camerongray> That does seem to have been pretty bodged
[15:40]<+camerongray> But yeah, I highly recommend cloudflare, even if it just for their really nice DNS management
[15:41]<@BC_Programming> Originally it was cloudflare giving me a DNS error on all the sites, when I 'paused' and then removed it they all started working again
[15:42]<@BC_Programming> so yeah something was a bit messed up, I don't think the webhost Domain settings were supposed to point at cloudflare
[15:46]<+camerongray> Surprised you haven't upgraded to a VPS yet :P
[15:46]<+camerongray> All the cool kids are doing it!
[15:46]<@BC_Programming> heh
[15:48]<@BC_Programming> yeah then I could actually design a proper updater rather than bodging one together with PHP and POST HTTP requests
[15:48]<+camerongray> Exactly
[15:48]<+camerongray> https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/
[15:48]<@BC_Programming> on the other hand, then I'd feel compelled to design a proper updater rather than bodging one together with PHP and POST HTTP requests
[15:49]<@BC_Programming> I'd probably upgrade with my current host, they offer VPS stuff
[15:49]<@BC_Programming> I'm literally using the absolute cheapest service they provide
[15:49]<+camerongray> Hmm, Byet?
[15:49]<@BC_Programming> in fact they don't even offer it anymore, their cheapest is 3.99, mine is 2.99
[15:49]<+camerongray> I really don't trust them if I'm honest, they have done a lot of shady stuff
[15:50]<+camerongray> There are a lot of much better VPS providers, Digital Ocean being one of them
[15:50]<+camerongray> Linode being another
[15:50]<@BC_Programming> like trying to auto-upgrade their customers to cloudflare and bodging it awfully?
[15:50]<+camerongray> Yeah
[15:50]<@BC_Programming> problem is I have no way to get the data off it, oddly enough
[15:50]<+camerongray> And the thing on their free hosting where they would redirect to malware infested sites when people went over their bandwidth caps
[15:50]<@BC_Programming> Actually I'll try to make a tar again
[15:51]<+camerongray> Actually, as an MVP don't you get some sort of discount/free credit on Azure?
[15:51]<@BC_Programming> yeah I can use it free as long as I'm an MVP
[15:51]<+camerongray> Then why not use that? :P
[15:51]<@BC_Programming> because with *nix I'm at least forced to use different languages :P if it was on Windows I'd just use C# for everything lol
[15:52]<+camerongray> Azure does Linux too
[15:52]<@BC_Programming> oh right... that is true
[15:52]<@BC_Programming> see I know nothing about it lol
[15:52]<+camerongray> haha
[15:52]<+camerongray> It's so much better than shared hosting
[15:52]<@BC_Programming> I'd want to wait until July if I was going to do that though, in case I'm not re-awarded :P
[15:54]<@BC_Programming> I actually started switching BASeBlock to use a GameState architecture, I've only been meaning to do that for like 5 years... Then I forgot how to use my own classes and tried to Google...
[15:55]<+camerongray> haha
[15:56]<@BC_Programming> Actually I wonder if it is actually better to use HTTP Post for something like an updater? I mean if I switch to not use some arbitrary string splitting and send back proper XML, it'll basically be as webservice
[15:56]<@BC_Programming> splitting fields in a record with $$$ was not one of my best design decisions
[15:57]<+camerongray> haha, ouch1
[15:59]<@BC_Programming> And I feel I need to redesign my main page... rewrite my fake CMS... gah... I gave up and cheated and just made the main page redirect to a blog category, since the Blog theme looks much better
[15:59]<+camerongray> lol
[15:59]<+camerongray> I really need to post more stuff on my blog
[16:00]<+camerongray> I only currently have my post about the ThinkPad touchpad retrofit which is actually why I built the blog in the first place :P
[16:00]<@BC_Programming> I have 264 published posts and 107 drafts lol
[16:00]<+camerongray> Suppose I could shove my photos from the Tardis move up on it (not sure if you saw them)
[16:01]<@BC_Programming> yeah you put those pics here, facebook, and twitter, as I recall :P
[16:01]<+camerongray> haha

[18:16]<@BC_Programming> Got my income tax assessment, 0$ Curses
[18:16]<@BC_Programming> I did it correctly but apparently they transferred my credit to some medical thing I owed
[18:16]<@BC_Programming> You know the charge for free health care

[20:42]<@BC_Programming> Well I'm creating an Azure thing-a-majig, I think I'll experiment with using C# via the web
[20:57] * Nat (nathan@mib-43AA8E18.reshall.berkeley.edu) has joined #glitchpc
[20:58]<@BC_Programming> neat $200 credit
[21:00] * Nat (nathan@mib-43AA8E18.reshall.berkeley.edu) Quit (Ping timeout: 185 seconds)
[21:04]<@BC_Programming> OK this is actually pretty cool
[21:04]<@BC_Programming> shame I only get to use it a month probably unless I want to pay through the nose :P
[21:10]<@BC_Programming> And suddenly I have a Azure VPS and am remote desktopped into it, cool

[21:31]<+camerongray> VPSs aren't too expensive if you don't get to keep it
