freed.dyndns.org has had unreasonable amounts of downtime. I tried to install PHP again, and it killed apache. A full re-install was required, and I haven’t had time. Thank goodness no one relies on me.
My dad came down to Portland, and we went to Mt. Angel’s Oktoberfest. It was quite cool, and Optimator on tap is wonderful. I got hit in the eye by a Praying Mantis that was flying around inside the beirgarten, and Sarah commented on what luck I must have.
Today Scott, my dad and I climbed King Mt. above the Wilson River. It was supposed to be just a hike, but my notorious lack of activity planning forced us to climb 2500′ in 2.5 miles. It was a nice climb, and the view of the Coastal range was gorgeous. Then we had dinner at the Kennedy School, and hot tubbed. The specialty was a Nut Brown ale that was excellent. Better than any Newcastle you can buy here. It was fun. Obviously uptime wasn’t too much of a concern.
Well maybe I’m the only one who noticed the downtime.I haven’t seen a praying mantis since I moved here. You are lucky: pileateds, pheasants, prayers.
I don’t see them that often either. That collision gave me new stats – I’m 1/1 in Oregon, 1/10 all-time. I’ve gotten much better since I was traded to Oregon…
Did I tell you that the bar on the corner, half a block from my apartment, is a Czech beer garden? Vaclev Havel planted a tree in it a few years ago when he visited New York.
