Because I didn't have enough going on in my life, I went to Matt's creation, URBIS, and I have not escaped. It's addictive, worse than gaming, worse than the Whoop was, even at its fastest and spiciest. I am distracted all the time. I am thinking about writing and reading, I am falling in love with earnest, broken young poets. I am identifying idiocy. I am having fun with words again.
Still haven't finished the FEC complaint, still haven't written Ed's articles, but I am having fun on Urbis, by george.
The Urbis server sucks big red ones, though. It is the slowest doggamned thing, and in the evening hours, I am fit to be tied from how long it takes to respond, and then, half the time it's a 506 error and it gives up. So how much would it cost to upgrade the server? Or whatever it is that causes it to crap out every night. It's not me. It's at that end. And it's maddening.
There are some other structural issues that seem to be related to development being done by someone who isn't actually using the site, but is mainly just watching it being used. Seems to be a lot of ongoing construction, however, so perhaps help is on the way.
If you haven't been there, you're missing out. It's a sensation!
