Lightning fast webserver

Whew. Website is back online thanks to the spare P-200 in my “server room.” The big thunderstorm on tuesday knocked out power, and fried my server. This prompted me to start shopping for a decent UPS to replace the empty space on my server shelf. Not that I was expecting the old P-90 to last forever, or anything. In fact, I’m pleasantly surprised to find that it lasted as long as it did.
Anyhow, it’s back up and publishing to the web again — not like there was much of an audience or anything. I’m sure there aren’t that many people who are interested in my life, or anything I post online…. Now all I have to do is scavenge the old machine for any useful parts. I think I’ve got a Mach64 and a 3c595x, and probably a few old SIMMs…
Quiet night tonight, and a little cool. Think it might rain later on.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
