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

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

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
More important, IMHO, is making sure the database is getting backed up regularly.
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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sure! I definitely don't need to be the sole anything.

Okay then, now to find a volunteer, someone with keys.

I'm technically a QA engineer (whatever that means), but I do have SQL programming experience and at least know how NOT to mess up a database while exploring it. I'm not sure I have the tools on my home computer to do any of that, though.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I will be over here ostriching in the sand because I CANNOT deal. I love you all, but I am not ready to have to be practical.

And that's fine. Take as much time as you need.

I am all about the practical but am useless at the technical bits (and so very glad y'all seem to have it covered). But let me know when you need someone to speak sternly, wave money around, or flirt with anyone...
