New Pages on OAImages

Posted in OAImages News by John E. Pannell on December 4th, 2008 at 6:02 am

I recently added some new pages to OAImages that some visitors to this site may not have noticed yet.   Each covers lodge issues for recent and upcoming national events

All pages can be accessed directly from the links in the above list.     One can also access them from the “National & Special Events Issues” on this site’s home page.

  • Hansbrough, No. 1 Heels roll by Spartans (AP)

    • December 4, 2008 – Another rout for the Tar Heels. This time it was Michigan State that got dominated. I’m only mildly disappointed they didn’t break the century mark.

  • Win a Copy of We Are Americans, We Are Scouts

    • December 3, 2008

  • CHRISTMAS BICYCLES

    • December 3, 2008 – Do you know a child who would really like a bicycle for Christmas (or Hannukah, or Kwanzaa or…) this year but whose parents will not be able to get him one? If so, Boortz wants to hear from you. He will be giving away bicycles this year.

  • Obama to Review Costs of Shuttle Replacement Vehicle

    • December 3, 2008 – This is why we need to encourage private industry to engage in space exploration. Clearly the government will not have the will or means to fund this.

  • 2.7 Gets Here in Two Days!

    • December 3, 2008 – This means I will probably be upgrading my version of Word Press over the weekend. The blog might be down for a short period while that upgrade is in progress.

    Contributing writers to this blog might want to read the article to see what will change. Upon cursory examination, the list of changes appears to be pretty extensive.

I Got Plenty of Nothing

"I got plenty o'nothin' and nothin's plenty for me..."

Wow, where did August go? Most of the month has gone by with nothing new appearing on this blog. It seems like it was only a few days ago that I was struggling with the server switch and site relocation. That is all done now and things appear to be going well. There are still some issues with broken links and missing images but I may be able to resolve that over the weekend. It's good to not have to worry about possible hardware failures.

25 Hours Later

The mail server at OAImages' new home has now remain unblocked by what I call the "internet gods" for over 25 hours now. That's a very good sign that they agree my server is clean and not a spammer. It appears my email problems are now resolved.

I only wonder who had this ip address before me and what were they doing to merit notice by CBL.

I will continue to monitor this situation. However if you have trouble getting email from this site's server, especially concerning passwords for the members area, please see my previous post on this subject. Read the Full Post

Concerning Email and Broken Links

Update: 8/7/10 @ 1400: The block by CBL has been lifted for over four hours now. This is a good sign, but not a resolution of the problem below... yet.

Automated emails from this site's mail server are currently being blocked by many or most ISPs. It has been listed on the Composite Blocking List for being compromised in some way. I have already had it delisted, but it has been listed again.

This most directly affects subscribers to the site as it prevents automated messages concerning passwords from being delivered. I consider this a critical issue. If it cannot be resolved soon, I will return to the old server and hosting solution. In the mean time, please read the rest of this message if you are experiencing difficulties logging into the members area!

Watching The Traffic

I've been watching the traffic flow into the site since I flipped the switch here last night. It looks like DNS entries propagate very fast these days! That's a far cry from what I remember when I first built this domain when it still took several days for a DNS change to take effect.

If you want to see what sort of traffic this site gets, you can view the stats here:

Wilkommen, Bien Venue, Welcome

If you see this post you have accessed OAImages on its new home. It has been running at its IP address for over a week now. A few days ago, oaimages.net was pointed here. Late Thursday night, the switch was flipped for OAImages.com. It may take a couple of days for the DNS changes to propagate around the internet so some visitors may see this site sooner than others.

I expect there to be a few hiccups. Please let me know, preferably in the comments, if you experience any problems.

Thank you.

Today's Status Report

"Everything is in a state of flux, including the status quo." - Robert Byrne

Another portion of this site's move has been accomplished. This blog's software, Wordpress, is now installed and running at the new location. Perhaps I should call it "OAImages Blog 2.0"?

Until the move is final, this blog will continue to be updated periodically. However, my primary focus now is on the site move. All previous blog posts and data will be transferred to the new location in due course.

My goal is to be moved into the new location by the time everyone returns home from the Jamboree, or shortly thereafter.
