Some of you may have been greeted by a "500 internal server error" when you were accessing this site. Sorry about that. Somehow, my .htaccess file became corrupted.

Thanks to Mark at BlueHost for figuring it out and fixing it!

I was really impressed because I called them, and only had to wait for something like 3 seconds before I was able to talk to him.

  I ended up taking last Thursday and Friday off to go camping and 4-wheeling, I should be posting about that pretty soon, but I realized yesterday that I missed my weekly link post.

Not having the routine made it easy to forget. Sorry about that.

This week, I’m getting spun up to step into my role of Tiger Cub Den Leader for my Son’s Cub Scout Pack, so time may be a little short this week.

I really enjoyed doing the "A Year Ago" post. It let me what I was doing back then, and it highlighted how different things are this year. Of course, I can’t believe that all of that stuff was a year ago, it seems like only months.

1 Year Ago

On the personal side of things, I was having some trouble with the brakes on my CJ-7, and learned a valuable lesson in the process.

I also found a website that let’s you know where you’re favorite sites are hosted, as well as one to let you know who else is hosted on your shared hosting server.

I was also getting ready to switch my blog from the port16.com root to port16.com/blog. Something I wish I had done in the first place, but I was glad that I ended up doing it pretty early on.

I hope everyone has had a good weekend, I know I did.

So you finally took the plunge and got an account with a hosting provider. But you aren’t big enough yet to afford a dedicated server, or co-location, so you’re using shared hosting.

Did you ever wonder who else is on the same server?

Well “My IP Neighbors” lets you find out. Just enter in your web site’s IP address, or web site URL, and it will list off the other sites on your server, in a convenient viewing window.

When I did it, I found out there are 101 web sites, including my own, on my server. I can’t complain since Blue host has been really dependable, and I can’t beat the price or what is included with the package.
