4,500 Days!

I can't believe that it has been 4,500 days since I own the cryan.com domain. How things have changed!

On April 11 1998, in my studio apartment using my dialup access from Netwizards I sign up for the cryan.com domain. At the time Yahoo was the hottest internet search site, you could get high speed internet from ATT via @Home, Apple was trying to survive and Google was still just a concept on paper waiting to get capital funding.

I know this site hasn't changed that much over the years, see the Wayback Machine version of this site in 2004. I plan to continue to add valuable content to this site. I have some really cool ideas planned.Like all great plans, it all starts with action. I am highly committed to making this site useful and fun to visit.

Thank you for visiting this site and I certainly hope it was entertaining and useful for you.

Fortune Cookies

Every time you visit the homepage on this site, a random fortune cookie appears in the left navigation. These are actual fortune cookies that I have received over the years.

As of today, there are 74 fortune cookies in the database. I update the database every time I get a new fortune cookie. Sometime in the future, I'll display all the entries on a page.

Server Update

The website server that this site is hosted on was updated last week. I haven't had the chance to look around the site to see if there's anything broken. There are a few issues that I need to let the hosting provider know about, but otherwise things look pretty good.

The new server has the latest PHP and MySQL code, so this will help with coding on this site. I am not sure if there's any compatible issues with the database migration, the homepage is working fine, and there's a few database calls that being used.
