Why is this site unsecured?

Is it too big a hassle or costly to make secure? Not complaining, just curious.

Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

Hey, well lookie there. lol Thanks #1. To be honest, I was only curious to know if it was really any concern or not. If it was unimportant, now I feel like a jerk for bringing it up.

It's a common mistake so don't sweat it. I'd still be in that dark if it weren't for the big dweez.

I wish we could all have a bbq, Mom could bring something horrible.

Actually, she is going to a bbq tomorrow, and her cake deflated after she baked it, so she's bringing a half height cake. I do wonder how she intends to apply the icing.

I'm still on the fence. On one hand, I love bbq. On the other hand, I feel sick. If  I caught something on the bus, I don't want to share.

oh well, at least I have beer.

Schmoogs could wear one of those shirts with SECURITY written on it. Mom has a "golly the police" shirt, but I doubt she'll wear that to the bbq.

Well, you and your Mom are welcome at my Niece's. I'm heading over around noon. If you like kids like me, there will be a poo ton. That's what I got the Tootsie Pops and fireworks for. They are just lame kiddie fireworks (sparklers, etc...) Yeah, I know, it's a cheapshot, even though, it works. Uncle Timmy kicks ass. The last get together (B-Day party), they called me Tootsie Pop Timmy. lol Sam's Club has these HUGE bags of Mini Tootsie Pops. It's now my traimark. Well, time to get up and start the coffee. I think I will treat myself to some marmalade.  :)

One time at Fry's, My mom and I were stopped by one of those "fill out our petition, donate to something" people.

She started her pitch with "You guys like kids, right?" At the time, we were dealing with a punk neighbor kid, so I said "No, not really".

She was shocked, and didn't even bother with the rest of her pitch.

Mom dropped the cake off, BBQ was lame, came home.

Haven't you got work to do?

I've had to take a day off to take my daughter to an Anime convention. Of course, I'm happy to do so, but at the moment I need 8 or 9 day weeks to keep up so it's a little inconvenient.

It's holiday time soon so I'll use that time to work a little less.

Thank God I don't take my tools to St Lucia!

What are your thoughts on Onijin's passion? I miss that guy, he had a good sense of humor.

Ma said her (unintentional) short cake was a hit, she didn't even manage to get a piece. I watched SG-1 at home.

Funny enough, the fireworks lined up with the part in "A matter of time" when they bomb the stargate to keep earth from getting sucked into a black hole. I was decently freaked out before I remembered what day it was.

O'Neill managing to bomb an alternate earth in 2019 from 1998 is EXACTLY the type of crap SG1 got up to.

I've made the site redirect permanently to the secure version. Please report any issues.

Contrary to my last post, getting the site to automagically redirect to https is proving erratic the rewrite rules aren't sticking. This can be overcome by ensuring your bookmarks for the site always start with https.

In the meantime I'll keep working on it.

I never go to the front page but always to the "Unread messages" link which is showing as HTTPS. I do have the "Not secure" on this page but it seems to be due to some of the images on the page as being "http://" linked, such as the avatar images (the SMF images are properly https:// linked).

I went to the home page and got the happy "lock" icon. I'm using the latest Chrome Browser if it matters.
