Another moxious night

Off

Was up ’til 3am this morning, working on an issue with a customer’s DNS server. Apparently it went out, and none of their servers could be seen, except by their IP addresses. Our servers were chugging along just fine, but no new users could get on, which puzzled me at first. I’m thinking “there are still users connected, and I can get to these servers and check them out…” I looked at the time of the last login, and it was a few hours earlier, so the red flag went up, and I called the customer around midnight. I didn’t need to keep hanging around, but my pager kept going off every fifteen minutes, so there was no point going to sleep, as I couldn’t just ditch my pager and hike off to bed.
Good think KOL was there for me.

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.
