This is Ryan Russon's Weblog. RyBlog 5000 is your one-stop source for all things Ryan and/or Russon (you paying attention Google?): personal details, political rants, tin-foil hat conspiracy theories, vacation photos, dumb ASP.NET ideas, Ryan's latest time-wasters, whimsical thoughts, pathetic attempts at humor, and anything else I can think to add. Eventually I'll have my music, MP3s, video, my "Study Tips from the Master Slacker", top ten lists, Christmas wish list, my psychology thesis, unauthorized copyrighted materials, and much much more!!! This is also where I'm hiding my Weapons of Mass Destruction-Related Program Activites Intent. I think McGyver had one of those too. It was a chewing gum wrapper or something that he fashioned into a detonator.
RyBlog 5000 - I've got time on my hands and I want the whole web to know!

Where are my visitors from?

SysAdmins 'Rnt Us Who would think configuring and maintaining a web server could be so difficult?  Since realizing that my server was getting slaughtered by the surprising popularity of the Chimp-O-Matic, I've been working hard on moving my site off of Win XP Media Center and getting everything up and running on Windows 2000 Server --a "real" server.  So far the experience has been a complete disaster.  I've tried everything I can think of, but for reasons beyond explanation IIS works great for several hours and then just stops working!  Even more bizarre, despite not being able to get anything but "Server Not Found" in the browser, the machine doesn't log any errors and the IIS server logs show no disruption in service (that I know of).  All other services on the machine work and even limiting the hell out of IIS (e.g. no sessions, only 50 users, etc.) doesn't fix the issue.

So... Until I find some cheap ASP.Net hosting (with SQL Server), I guess I'll keep supplying the 80,000+ hits per day for the Chimp-O-Matic with a lousy consumer OS that's limited to 10 simultaneous users.  Go figure.
