Nah...nuttin' that exciting. We're in the middle of designing a barn for the new property, and just planning for the future. Gotta make sure it's big enough for anything that comes down the road.

For quick single day/single handed fishing trips, and access to many smaller areas, I like the idea of a 16 Angler. Nothing fancy...in fact if/when the time comes, I'll be looking for the cheapest old beater I can find...slap on a new 40HP and downriggers, and be done with it.

C-Heap, perhaps?
 
My credit card company called to say a gaggle of water brats have maxed out my visa. If it's okay with ya'all, maybe you should stop using my number.

Now, back to the calendar idea. I've been lifting weights and loading up on double cheeseburgers and Wildcat Ale, so I'll soon be ready for the photo shoot. My friend Paris helped me select a black velvet thong with studded diamonds. It really is special.

January Ken, what will you be wearing?

Now that's just so...wrong. CM - you really should know better. We do have standards around here...

Everyone knows that getup requires nipple rings.

My double cheeseburger just came back up on me.... :?
 
I would not mind sending a contribution to help maintain the site. A dedicated email doesn't appeal to me, necessarily, but I do want to be sure this site continues. I'm a new owner (April) and thehelp here has been absulutely great...want it to continue. If i have to get the email, i will, but another idea is to ask if those of us who were helped by the site in our purchase might want to make a voluntary contribution.

One of the good reasons to take advantage of Da Nag's email address, is using it while leisurely floating down some river somewhere with laptop and cell phone in hand. As a long time RV'er, we always welcome the ability to email as well as surf while on the road, and it's readily available either by cell phone or via a wireless hot spot.

As an example, if you have a Verizon color screen cell phone (Get it now capable) there is a "back door" way to use "National Access" without any charge beyond minutes used in your regular America's Choice plan. (Zero if it's weekend/evening minutes) That means surfing at roughly twice the speed of a 56k dialup connection. The how-to info can be found in Yahoo group InternetByCellPhone and they even have all the files there. All you need is a cable that interfaces between the laptop and the cell phone. Naturally one doesn't spell out how to do it publicly, but so far Verizon sort of ignores the use, though they obviously won't help you set it up. Rest assured, they know it's being used though. It's just that most of us users are careful not to abuse it and so far, they don't bother us. This is NOT the old technology cell-phone as a modem - call your ISP - get 9600 bps excruciatingly slow connection many of us are used to.

Many "dialup" ISP's will allow you to POP or receive your email via that route, but 90% will not allow you to send email using their (SMTP) server. That's where C-Brat's server comes into play. Assuming it's set up to do it, you should be able to both send and receive email while using a foreign host like a wireless connection or via Verizon's ISP. You can even set the c-brat return address to your regular email address and nobody will be the wiser (well, maybe dudes who care to read the expanded header might, but who cares about them?)

So yes, I'm gonna take advantage of the address. I've heard that Sprint has a similar "back door" but have never delved into it. That info is also found at the Yahoo group mentioned earlier along with tutorials.

No worries there. This site will be here. And free. For the ones who keep it going there are ample rewards, and we have no intention of accepting donations toward that end. We are certainly not soliciting them.

It looks like the Brock/B~C calendar is not going to be a big hit, so maybe we can come up with a C-Brat cruise calendar using our own photos. Just beginning to look into the logistics of it. It would be cool to have each month feature a picture of a cruise in the same month the previous year.
 
I don't know if this is the place to write, but I'm the guy from Eastern Shore of Maryland, a new 22 owner by April.who wants to host a c dory gathering this summer. I put it into a thread, but want to list it under gatherings...i have had a bunch of replies showing interest.
How do I get it listed on the gatherings site.

If i'm writing to the wrong place, can you refer me?

Bill, the site is moving along pretty nicely this morning. I wasn't about to post anything about it moving slowly after the change. Change of any kind frequently carries a little baggage.

I knew I wouldn't have to wait long before the maestro of nerdism had it straightened out.......COOL!

Thanks Bill, for all of your efforts and expertise.

What a treat, having two of the sharpest guys on the planet, Tyboo Mike & DaNag Bill, in the engine room of this runaway train, aka: C-Brat Express.

Well...one of the golden rules of computer work is to never admit how easy something is. That way, when seemingly spectacular results are noticed, everyone thinks you're really special.

But since I get more ego stroking around here than any one guy needs or deserves, I'll break the rule this one time.

I didn't to a dang thing...except hound the hosting provider with progressivley nastier emails until they got somebody to fix it. Trouble is, on a shared server, they don't give me the tools necessary to troubleshoot a lot of things on my own, so we're stuck relying on the competence of the on-duty tech. Unfortunately, as is often the case, the guy on the weekend shift ain't first string material...

Eventually, somebody who knew what to look for narrowed it down to a runaway script - not by your's truly, but by somebody else sharing the server with us. The script was killed, the user notified, and things got back to normal.

Quite frustrating, though...the chances of this happening should be less whwn we share a server with fewer folks. Oh well...some day when we get really big, we'll have a dedicated server that only we can screw up. And we'll be known throughout the world. And I'll have a Tomcat. And a pony.

Gotta think, big, no?

Since you didn't want donations to support the site perhaps we shoud start a "Lets buy Da Nag a pony thread...." :lol: !
 
Didn't do a dang thing, eh Bill. Contrare, you did exactly what had to be done. If you hadn't harrassed the provider and threatened thumb screws we'd still be pokey.

This is off topic Bill, but what was the model of the Fulton winch that you posted a while back. I looked for it but couldn't locate it.

Thanks again.
 
Isn't the "View Posts from the Past 24 Hours" on the left side bar new? Nice addition, although I'll mostly still be using the feature on the right side that allows me to view the new posts since my last visit. Joe.
 
Good eye, Joe - added that yesterday.

It comes in handy in two situations, which I encounter frequently - hence my reason for adding it (nerd privileges...)

First, if you are visiting but not logging in, it gives a quick way to see recent posts which include those you haven't read yet.

Second, I often login and click the "view posts since last login" link, but don't finish reading all of them before my session times out. Next time I login, the board isn't smart enough to know I didn't get to all the unread posts, so viewing from a previous time period catches them.

Enjoy...

Bill
 
Something functionally equivalent to this has existed all along on the Forum Index, up in the right hand corner, but it is nice to have it on the login page as well!
