Day 1.3:

Region is still password-protected.

He liked my post:



I feel slightly honored that the NS game administrator (who is almost definitely Max Barry) liked my post.

I think this means he's letting me stay in his locked region.

Day 2: I've made friends with some of the natives.  They seem like a pretty chill group.

I'm sick but I have so much work to do... ugh

I knew I needed this after seeing and playing the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane trilogy, but I didn't realise how much until this trailer was released.

The hype meter is off the charts right now.

I'm being called in because apparently I'm too aggressive in the way I criticise one of my higher-ups.

Man, that fucking asshole piece of shit. Tell that cunt to fly a kite in traffic.

So my grandma died Wednesday night and the funeral was today. It was a bit difficult for me because she played a big part in raising me. I'd never realized that until yesterday and I wish I could have thanked her for it.  It seems so much like she was fighting us the whole time too just like she always did. She's the strongest woman I've ever known. Just like the rain and high winds at the funeral. I knew this was coming. We'd been taking care of her since the moment she couldn't take care of her self. It's been so hard to see her during her last year. I'm glad it's finally over now but still I'm always going to miss her. She did everything. For my entire life I'd always known her as a mother, grandmother, career woman, a damn fine cook and so much more. Knowing I'll never see her again...I know my life is never going to be the same and that hurts. I was one of the pallbearers. It was nice to be there until the very end though.

I am sorry to hear about the death of your grandmother.  You have my condolences.

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences.

The Wintreath website doesn't support SSL. I can fix that for you, or walk you through it. It's important because what it means is that all traffic to/from the website is unencrypted on the wire - if someone is connected to an open wifi access point and uses the website, they are broadcasting their password in plaintext to everyone in the vicinity and they might not only use that password for Wintreath.

Plus, it's pretty fun, easy, and free to fix.

I've looked into SSL, and from what I've read with our host you have to upgrade your hosting package and buy the certificate then renew it every year. If this isn't true though let me know, I'm always interested in easy and free solutions.

letsencrypt is free. You shouldn't need to upgrade your hosting package, but I don't know anything about your hosting provider. All they need to do is open port 443.

It looks like HostGator (our host) is on the list of hosts that don't support letsencrypt. There apparently used to be a way to add them through cPanel, but HostGator has removed the option in the last year or so. It's obvious they made it so everything has to go through them so they can charge money from it...in our case, not only would we need to upgrade our hosting package, but also pay them to actually do it.

To be honest the solution is probably to change hosts, but that's going to be a major undertaking in itself. =/

Huh, screw them I guess. Seems like they charge to install the certificate on a per instance basis. I'm currently spinning up my own page with letsencrypt on ec2.

I guess I'll start the search for a new webhost when I have time.
