Website Updates
Fri, 15 May 09
For the first time in... well, a long time, anyway, I updated my Personal Pages. In particular, I updated the 100 Things page, the Q & A page, and the Love page. Thu, 29 Jan 09
The Picture Gallery now has an RSS feed. There are also some new photos and a new sub-album there if you want to wander into the gallery and have a look. Fri, 23 Jan 09
I got a bit inspired, and totally reworked the design on Unicorns and Thoughts Thereon. Maybe it was because I realised that in just a few months the site would be celebrating fifteen years online, or maybe it was the unicorns encouraging me to make the change... Mon, 29 Dec 08
The other day at the grocery store, I saw something that amused me greatly, so I took a picture of it (with my phone, of course, I mean this is the 21st century and all). That picture is now on the revised 404 Error Page for this domain. The previous 404 page design, which had pictures of Zoë as a baby, crying and Warholised, is now the 404 Error Page at bromage.org.

So, we were offline for a couple of days. We thought at first it was some sort of denial of service attack, but we're not sure at this time. We did have a kernal panic (the error log reported it as a bug) and the entire MySQL database had to be rebuilt, but... Well, we don't know. We're just going to keep an eye on it and see. Please note that I have an "offsite" blog where I post if this server goes offline. If you care at all (and most people probably don't, I know, but for that one in a million who does...), go to http://bonni-soanyway.blogspot.com/ and bookmark it or subscribe to the RSS. Then if you're ever wondering what happened (if this site is offline), you can look there and see if I've posted anything. |

I've had a personal homepage since early 1994, and bits of that original site can still be seen in my personal pages and in the unicorn pages, as some of the content there dates back that far. My first homepage was designed without graphics, because I only had a text-only browser at the time (I didn't have the right kind of connection to the internet to use a graphical browser, which, in that day and age, was pretty much Mosaic, although I'm not entirely sure when Netscape 1 appeared on the scene). My second homepage, which was graphical, was designed in Netscape 1.1. I did many of the graphics on it myself, using Paint Shop Pro (version 3, I seem to recall).
This domain has been online since May 1998. It was the first domain I ever personally set up, and by "set up" I mean that I registered the domain, entered the DNS information on the name server, set up the virtual domain in the Apache server config, set up the mail aliases, everything. I didn't have the luxury of a control panel. I did it all entirely by hand. Come to think of it, I still don't have a control panel and have to do all that stuff by hand...
