gmonkey42: a photo of me scuba diving (scuba)
On account of the camping trip we're taking for my scientific diving class, I'll be totally offline Wednesday through Sunday (or possibly Monday, because I'll be back that day but I'll be busy).

Today we got to go the the aquarium before the dive to check out the fish we'd be looking for. Those of you who've been there (valis2?): you know the two-story kelp forest tank? I always saw that and thought "cool, sharks; hey an eel! and some fish. Ho hum." But there are actually a lot of different types of fish if you stand around for a while and look for them. I never noticed that before. We were mostly looking for various types of perch and rockfish. There were also some bigass sea bass and sturgeons. I think I'd be freaked out if one of those came up to me in the ocean. I think some of the sturgeons were bigger than I am. We saw some fish on the dive but not a ton. Today we had to practice the surveying techniques, first counting kelp and then counting fish. A bunch of seals came over to check us out. One followed us almost all the way back to the beach when we were done. It kept tugging on my buddy's fins. So cute!

Why does this kind of thing always happen right before I'm going to be away from the computer for a while?

I just discovered my web host has changed the URL of my site from
http://piratemonkeysinc.com
to
http://piratemonkeysinc.com.seanic3.net
(seanic.net is the host)

http://piratemonkeysinc.com redirects to the index page but nothing else redirects. This means anyone who linked to any page other than the index will get 404'd. What the hell? Can they do that? I've sent in a support request but sometimes they misunderstand the support requests and it takes a few e-mails back and forth to get it sorted out.

AND now my username and password don't work. As far as FileZilla knows, I can still log in to piratemonkeysinc.com and all the pages are there but I can't log in to piratemonkeysinc.com.seanic3.net.

ETA OK, it was - as I'd expected but I didn't want to get my hopes up - that they were moving me to another of their servers. It's all back to normal now. They could've sent me an e-mail so I'd know what was going on and wouldn't freak out!
