Buffistas

It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I guess we could throw it up on github or something. How private can you make github repositories?

I was thinking of Bitbucket -- their private repos are free for up to 5 users, and features are pretty comparable to GH without all the social stuff (that we don't need anyway)

More important, IMHO, is making sure the database is getting backed up regularly.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Agreed, Tom.

Def, Tom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Liese has been in the Dreamhost account this week, for what that's worth. We're upgrading our account a little.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Yep. I have access to the code. I guess that means I also have access to the data (since the code contains the mysql login info), but I've never messed with the data.

Jon, Liese, I'm so glad -- it's possible that I think too much about bus factors, but, you know, busses.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yes, this.

I was never one of the actual code monkeys. Most of what I did was html on the satellite sites like the archives and filk. (I'd forgotten about pretty much all what I'd worked on except for the logo stuff until I was perusing the Roll Your Own thread today. Kind of fascinating to see how it all came together.) I used to be able to do SQL, but it's been 2½ years since I've done any database development, so I'm probably too rusty for that.

edit: Two people who aren't on Hec's list who did a lot of the heavy lifting were John H and Tom W.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

My contributions were pretty small, but I am a professional code monkey / web application developer / database fiddler / actress, model, whatever.

So, if you need a techie to do techie things, I can do that. I don't have a login, or even the first idea of where things are, though.

From the ita thread:

ita: If we do decide to go the domaindiscover route, Jesse, it's simple to set me up as technical contact... but then we have to supply an organizational, an administrative and a billing contact. Billing is easy -- what about the other two?

I just checked whois for b.org, and Jesse, you're listed as sole contact for everything. Should someone else be the technical contact?
