Email is broken, so I can't respond to the emails I get, but I can look at them. So I'm sorry for those people trying to become a member of the staff, but I'm also leaving on vacation in an hour, so I'll have to set you up in a week, I'm sorry. See you then!

Well, the site is finally up. I know it took awhile, and I promised something new about 2 months ago, but at least it's up. The DHTML menus are sweet, but they don't work well unless loaded in my frames only, so that's why hosted sites open in new windows. Actually, I guess there are some other links that need changing to do that also, but I'm too lazy right now. So, there's the site, I hope you like it, it's better than the old one, and adequate for now, but it's still lacking something (FLASH!). I hope to one day switch the WHOLE page over to flash, which would ROCK.
Well, email seems to have stopped working. The server box is extremely slow, and needs to be formatted and wiped clean. It really needs a new hard drive, because the one it has is actually 5 years old, and runs extremely slow. What I need to do is get a new hard drive first. When that happens, I will reinstall windows 2000 advanced server on that hard drive. I'll then reinstall Microsoft Exchange 2000 and try my luck at getting that working again, because perhaps that will allow me to send mail, which the current IMail 6.0 Server seems to screw up a lot. I can receive mail, but I can't send it. It's stopped talking to my DNS server, which is the problem, because it needs to talk to it in order to find out the MX records for various places I wish to send mail. If I can't get Exchange 2000 to work, which I couldn't before, I'll switch back to IMail 6.0 which should work after I reformat and install everything. TODAY! I am going to send
out an old 9 gig quantum drive to be replaced with 95 dollars from quantum, because the drive was defective. I'll then get the money, and buy a new hard drive. When it comes, I'll go through the procedures I listed.

A lot of work done. Since Wednesday, I've finished every page except the main index, which once I finish it, it means switching the rest of the site over! SWEET! That will mean 3 things. One, people will finally find out what the "expect something new" is. Two I'll have my 404 error put in place, so that if anyone goes to a page that isn't there, they can be directed back to TheSpork.com. Three, my hosted sites will actually get publicity, so make way for them!

Well, today I got the totally awesome layout made. I finished work on my java script menus and everything. The page is going to start experiencing some awesome changes, and it's going to be fun.

I got a working message board! It is very cool. If anyone would like to donate either a working full licensed version of Ultimate Bulletin Board, please contact me. I would of course set you up with Moderator privileges, you'd be a part of TheSpork.com staff, and get a free email address. Until then, I'm stuck with the free version.

I finally got working email @ TheSpork.com. Thanks to the help of my system administrator, I figured out how to set up the DNS server on my box and use that to look up mail servers for outgoing email. Now I can send mail, where as before I could just receive it.
