DNS woes

Two events: my hosting company was recently flagged as “malware” on my site’s server’s IP, which became apparent when I tried to log into my Cpanel; and now my site appears to have been migrated to a new IP late last night. I’m not sure if this is directly correlated, but there’s a good chance. Anyway, until just recently, I was using Xname.org for my DNS hosting, in an effort to use the subdomains function of my hosting package, so when the server’s IP changed, my DNS servers had no clue. I never could get that subdomain feature working though, and when I tried to update Xname four hours or so ago, it’s still not updating server-side. So, I’ve moved the nameservers back onto the hosting company’s. There will be more downtime before DNS is appropriately propagated.

I guess I ought to know better than to expect that my using alternate DNS servers just to be able to tinker with some DNS zone files wouldn’t eventually come back and bite me on the ass.

The Fool

A few days ago, Jodi took Jen and Opal to see a counselor, whom we didn’t know was theist until he couldn’t keep his gob shut about how they’d have to seek aid from a higher power to make any kind of progress in their personal problems. My beloved wife kept her head about her, and asked if he knew of any more secular-oriented counselors, as she’s an atheist (yeah, she actually said it outright, go her!), and was pretty sure this wasn’t the type of counseling they needed. He apparently said something along the lines of “Oh, I’ve heard of atheists, the Bible talks about you.” I’m sure Jodi will correct me on this. But if this is accurate, you can bet money on what passage he’s referring to.

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

How many terrorists will benefit from health care reform?

It’s amazing to me that everyone’s getting all bent out of shape about America finally being dragged, kicking and screaming, into the present-day reality that health care works better when the vultures standing between you and your doctors (e.g. the insurance companies) are put into some measure of check. I mean, really. You don’t have a single-payer “socialist” program like Canada (or your own Medicare) now (no, seriously — you really don’t). Instead, you just have the same old setup with some SMALL limitations on the money-gouging that the insurance companies can do. If you don’t believe me, look at this Wikipedia article on the ad. The entire thing is about regulating those corporations that are abusing you and your freedoms daily. What’s more, this reform will actually reduce your budget deficit by 1.3 TRILLION DOLLARS over the next 20 years. And yet, if anything, this reform falls far short of the mark by propping up the current health insurance industry, rather than overshooting the mark and landing in socialist totalitarian nightmare area like some of you loons seem to believe.
