My avatar, my server, the license warning, and other fun stuff.

Several of you messaged me about my avatar kicking up a 'localhost' != 'www1.meleepta.com' certificate signing error. It would seem that my webhost is experiencing continued technical difficulties. Their hired tech support guys really screwed them over and have caused them no end of trouble. They are currently in the process of having to transfer all their data to a new server.

I'm sticking with them because I've read a lot of good things about this host (and I'd be really hard pressed to beat their free service package), but for now I'll have to take down my avatar until I figure out what's going on here.

Just email your host and tell them to update their servers to use Macs instead.

EVERYthing just runs better on a mac.

For sure this kind of thing would NEVER have happened on a mac. They're just more ... intuitive.

So you're saying that if they were using Macs then their tech support guys wouldn't have downgraded their MySQL from 5.0 to 4.1 without warning?

...because nobody (except maybe apple) dares to host stuff on macs?

The would never have had to!! Things just work on Macs ...

Just upload your avatar to 2dadventure for now, Monkey. Afaik, Neole is still (very generously) hosting stuff.

Shit, if all else fails, I'll host your avatar for you. What is it, like, 5kb?

monkey0506 · Mon 07/01/2008 21:06:32

I have...erm...4 avatars at this point. I randomly select one via a PHP script. I'm not too worried about it, the issues...SHOULD :o be resolved soon.

LimpingFish · Mon 07/01/2008 21:17:05

Oh! Four avatars, eh? Randomly selected, eh? Think you're better than the rest of us non-dynamic single-avatared losers?! Huh? HUH?!

Stomps off...

Stupot · Mon 07/01/2008 21:26:10

I think it's time for a new avatar... my new years eve one is already old... what's the next public holiday?

Galen · Mon 07/01/2008 21:33:18

Unless you want to celebrate the Chinese new year, it's Valentine's Day.

vict0r · Mon 07/01/2008 22:47:36

Valentines day huh? Time to get romantic!

monkey0506 · Mon 07/01/2008 23:41:16

Victor I think yours quite romantic enough already.

LimpingFish, no worries mate. I don't think you're a loser just because you're stuck in the Stone Age of avatars.

Actually on that note, I would like to add some more avatars, I've just never gotten around to it.

My calender says the 25th of January is Burns Night and the 26th is Australia Day... but its from Wetherspoon and its condescending so I wouldn't trust it. Oh, or Shrove Tuesday on the 5th of February - you could pour lemon juice over your avatar?

monkey0506 · Tue 08/01/2008 03:21:43

Why the hell hasn't anyone mentioned Winter-een-mas? Get with the times people, get with the times.
