Sure, I also own a Swiss Army knife, but its blades do not randomly eject at high speed or spontaneously induce anything with the word "death" in its name, as it is well-constructed; the is true of my Mac: it does its task, and it does it well. (I may not be able to run an alternate version of the OS and turn my computer into a PVR and home theater system, but then again, I don't want to.)

Addressing addresses

Ok, I should now have a correct telnet address in the sidebar. In case it has not shown up yet... Click ME! That (<--) address should be pointing to the correct IP address so long as the BBS itself is up and running, as the BBS package updates the IP to which it is pointing every so often and whenever it is restarted.

All your feeds are belong to us!

I have now added a section for the available site feeds to my sidebar. Actually, there is only one feed that need be available via Feedburner. This is due to the fact that the feed offered by Blogger is being repackaged via Feedburner into form useable by any RSS reader, past, present, or future.

It's alive! (And no longer brain dead)

It seems that a simple extraneous "%d" was responsible for the inability to unpack QWK packets. Its presence was causing the inclusion of "30000" in the unzip command line. Now the BBS should be up and running consistently. (It's true nature is yet to be determined though....)
