Title: Hey Tage
Post by: EUOL on March 27, 2004, 05:09:24 AM
Any idea when I'm going to get server/forum functionality back?  I need to update several of the classes (most importantly SE's class, which runs out of titles very soon.)

I really don't like the way user permissions work on this new server. It makes things very complicated. I'll see what I can do, though.

I prefer Gemms one. Sounds like less effort.

sadly so do I, Gemms one sounds kind of fun.

He fixed it.  Thank you very much, Tage.

Does that mean Fuzzy can finally leave those poor thigs alone?
Title: Re: Hey Tage
Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on March 30, 2004, 12:23:24 PM
no, thigs are meant to be torn apart. See my earlier definition.

Hey Tage, I was just noticing that Urchin is doing the same thing on TWG that it does on my site.  Is it a problem with the new server?
Title: Re: Hey Tage
Post by: Tage on April 01, 2004, 02:44:09 PM
As mentioned elsewhere, Urchin no workie. By the way, I need to talk to you about your blog posting thing. You'll notice it asks for a login now.
Title: Re: Hey Tage
Post by: Tage on April 01, 2004, 03:04:40 PM
I stand corrected. Urchin just hadn't been set up correctly. I think it works again.

Hey Tage, what'll it take to get me a TWG email address? I feel this would be good when dealing with publishers.
Title: Re: Hey Tage
Post by: Tage on August 10, 2004, 12:44:26 PM
If you just want an alias, tell me what you want the alias to be and where it should forward to. If you want an actual POP account you'll have to give me a username and password for it. I'd suggest emailing those instead of posting them here. :)

I've been thinking about getting a TWG email account as well, but I've been putting it off cause I'm too darn lazy. How is the stability of our server looking anyway? Do we see it moving at all in the semi-near future or anything of the sort?
Title: Re: Hey Tage
Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on August 10, 2004, 02:44:42 PM
I'll email you then. Just wondering how easy it would be.
Title: Re: Hey Tage
Post by: Tage on August 10, 2004, 04:58:37 PM
The stability is the same as it's always been. I have no plans to move it, unless I change jobs.

So, you want to see this movie tonight, Tage?  (I assume lawgirl emailed you.)

Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on October 22, 2004, 01:14:03 PM
hey Tage. I need to check my email, but my computer doesn't get Internet right now. I was using my laptop, but it crapped out on me. Is there another way I can read my mail?
Title: Re: Hey Tage
Post by: Spriggan on October 22, 2004, 02:32:47 PM
Humm...I think I might have a way of creating a hotmail style e-mail checker for pop3 accouts, though it would be a very no-frills kinda thing (ie view and reply only, no way to save or delete).
Title: Re: Hey Tage
Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on October 22, 2004, 03:11:16 PM
on zyx actually, we found an app to do full email service online, which is why I'm seeing/responding to mail that comes to me on other accounts. I'm not suggesting Tage go through all that work though. If he's not too worried about having a shell account with no access to other folders, I'm happy using Pine.

he could also set it up to forward your TWG e-mail to one of your other ones since you can see those.

There you go, trying to make things simple.

This should work:

it won't let me log in.

Post by: Tage on October 22, 2004, 07:05:10 PM
Wow, I'd forgotten I was still using the old version. Try it again. Actually, that goes for all you guys who use this server for email.
Title: Re: Hey Tage
Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on October 23, 2004, 04:45:24 PM
I'll try it again, but now that I ran cable through out the width, heigth, and breadth of this house, I have connectoin from my desktop. Email should work again.

ok, I don't know if there's anything you can do about this, but there's something funky with the "recent posts" link. There are posts (it changes which thread) that it's dropping from the list). Most recently I noticed that the Willy Wonka thread dropped from the list, even when it's the most recent thread posted to.
Title: Re: Hey Tage
Post by: Tage on January 10, 2005, 12:28:24 PM
I've never seen that behavior, but I doubt I could do anything about it anyway.

tage, I had to reinstall windows. What's the TWG pop server? email me at eric AT saintehlers DOT com if you don't want to post it here.
Title: Re: Hey Tage

timewastersguide.com
rickstranger.com
slummites.org
brandonsanderson.com

Or anything else that points to my server. Make sure you use SMTP Auth if you're sending.

hrm... I thought that's what I was using. I'll have to troubleshoot.
