Well, technically the mail server went up on March 21st, 2003.  This obscurely named machine was accessed by tens of people using the equally obscurely named <a href=\"http:\/\/dyndns.com\" target=\"_blank\">Dynamic DNS<\/a> address, <a title=\"It's a palindrome\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dead_Parrot\" target=\"_blank\">Notlob<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Since I now have a legit (and incredible) domain name and <a title=\"Raise the roof for referrer cred.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/r.cgi?246214\" target=\"_blank\">managed web hosting<\/a>, it&#8217;s finally time to put the old beast to  rest.  The fact that my parents are remodeling my old bedroom where the server lives, is of course, merely a courtesy detail.<\/p>\n<p>I have imported an <a title=\"Kinda makes you cry, doesn't it?\" href=\"\/gallery\/v\/archive\/\" target=\"_blank\">archive of my old photo gallery<\/a> for all to enjoy in all its nostalic glory.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve read this far without needing to ask what the hell Wowbagger or Notlob are referencing, you are probably interested in the specs of this machine.
