Bewildering Stories

Stressing Out

Poor Don is not having any fun right now. The computer that is the temporary home of Bewildering Stories has an arcane operating system sort of based on Red Hat, and an overlay called Blue Quartz. And it wants to do things ITs way. So trying to set permissions just to upload files? You set it and the stinking thing sets it back.

I recovered everything, however, and got it all working. At home. Brought the server down to the server farm and discovered that all my monitors down here are too old, the OS wants to go into graphics mode by default, and none of the monitors here can handle the scan range. Foo. So I have to set up everything HERE, not at home. Which means one more day of pain.

I'll be down here tomorrow, and we should have everything, including the missing biographies, up and operational' tomorrow.

And, LO, it is tomorrow, and it seems to be done. Hurrah! Now, to fix the forum!
