Why does yeroc.us Look like this?

Like a vast number of other web sites on the Web, yeroc.us uses CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) technology to present the pages. Your browser either could not find or does not support the CSS code.

History of Yeroc.us / CBLL Internet

2002

  • March - Registration of deerfield.com DNS2Go name "cbll.myip.org"
  • March 28 - First serving of a web page from my home computer.
  • April - Set up of web server (Genesis) on old Windows 98 pentium box.
  • May - First wide-scale distribution of web page by my server (a school project)
  • May - I heavily advertised my humble site to people from school. They all signed the Guestbook, which was run with a simple Perl script. It was an elegantly simple system, far removed from the fancy database-storage systems we use today.
  • June - Apache replaces vqServer as the HTTP software.
  • June 18 - PTD, our cable internet service provider, cuts off incoming requests to port 80. I had to switch the server to port 8400, for the time being.
  • July - CBLLProfile profile for AIM launched.
  • June 21 - First Outhouse (CIRadio) live radio show.
  • September 29 - cbll.net Domain name registered and pointed to server.

2003

  • March - First environmental information appears on web site (a blog post about e-waste in China).
  • March - Operating system of server is changed to Red Hat Linux 8.0 from Windows 98.
  • April - Cbll.net is used to present many school projects.
  • April - The current server, Andreas, was put into operation running Red Hat 9.
  • May - Disposable Society web site is put online.
  • May - New super-fancy garish metal interface is created for cbll.net.
  • November - Ugly garish metal interface is finally replaced.

2004

  • June - Obsolete Red Hat 9 on Andreas is replaced with Debian GNU/Linux.
  • August 25 - WTE.CBLL.NET (waste-to-energy) web site launched.
  • November - Decelerating Delta S Blog started.

2005

  • November 9 - I presented my high school "Graduation Project" on CBLL.NET and related web design projects, server operations, etc.

2006

  • December - "Searching For Order...In This World of Entropy" slogan put into effect.

2007

  • November - International Database of Waste-to-Energy Plants is launched. The database never really got off the ground, I did not have the time to take care of it though the software still exists and may resurface somewhere/sometime else.

2008

  • January - The Outhouse radio is finally updated with all movies and radio shows made.
  • June - Some GUI updates, mainly adjusting the header/footer to make the page look prettier.
  • December 23 - Registration of the domain name yeroc.us, which will become the new domain, replacing cbll.net for the web site.
  • December 23-Jan 1 - Web Site updated, content reviewed.

2009

  • August 01 - Web hosting changed from in-house to Arvixe. This gives me more bandwidth, hopefully more reliability, and reduces the burden on some other parties who shared the old in-house servers. It also fits better with my current lifestyle where I tend to move between three cities in a seemingly random fashion, and being physically responsible for a server which is in only one of those places was becoming a challenge, especially when flaky wifi connectivity was my only link to it.
  • August 02 - Andreas (the old server, running since 2003) is retired. Andreas is still a decent machine, a new hard drive is all that he needs to perform well (the six-year-old drive was a bit of a gamble - failure was probably imminent), but as for hosting my site it is no longer in service.
