So, so, so happy that C-Brats is back. I made my donation to the 'Tip Jar' and it was easy! I just clicked on 'Donation' (on the home page) and made payment with my Credit Card.
Thank you so much Will and Mike for all that you do to keep this site running smoothly and to have it operational. You guys do so much to help people get connected and to set-up photo albums etc. Much appreciated!

Is my imagination, or is the restored C-Brats website performance a bit snapper than the past??

I really didn't notice.

Been reading Kirkegaard; kinda absorbing...
Took a while to get it but when you do, it sticks:

"You have to be with what is so that what is to be may become."


Aye.

Sandy, it’s not your imagination as it’s now most definitely faster for me.

Quite likley, I noticed that as well.

The old site was on ~15 year old physical hardware. New one is hosted at Vultr, a state of the art virtual hosting provider with significantly more resources and the ability to add resources on demand if needed.

Seems like a nice upgrade so far.

Big thanks to Both Will and Tyboo. This site is a great resource not only to C-Dory owners, but to all boaters. Our tip is in the jar.

Definitely faster in Pensacola, and I have fiberoptic, with 300+mbx, and most sites loaded fast--C brats was slow--now it is up to par.

Good upgrade. Send more tips in. I suspect the new server is more expensive.

Fortunately, hosting expenses continue to drop while performance increases. It's actually a blessing in disguise the old dedicated server gave up the ghost.

We're around $50/month now, almost half the price of the old server. We really don't mind the expense, it's minimal - but thanks to all the recent donations to the tip jar we're covered for quite a while now.

Thanks, everyone!

Foggy,

I've always wanted to get into Kirkegaard. Tried a couple of times, but never got very far. I've always wanted to read some Schopenhauer too because of my love of Wagner's music. I do less and less reading as I grow older.

I love the quote you give here:

Quote:
"You have to be with what is so that what is to be may become."

Here's one from Heidegger I've always loved:

Quote:
"Language is the house of Being. In its home man dwells."

I haven't gotten into Martin Heidegger much yet. There is so much.
He does seem to be preoccupied, maybe to a fault, with "the primordial
truth of Being", ["sein", "seiende" and such} which Rene Descartes took a
stab at much earlier
Quote:
"I think, therefore I am." Blah, blah, blah.

but was later upstaged, after some 300 years and is now accepted,
by Jean-Paul Sartre. J - P showed if our awareness of Being is confirmed by just
'thinking', we really wouldn't know, or be able to tell, that we were thinking.
We actually are the essence, the energy and the awareness behind our thoughts.

For me, as a practical matter, I'd rather quaff a few beers, sit back, relax and
remember all the good times I've had on boats between moments contemplating
my navel by the fire - now winter is starting to settle in.

Aye.

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table

David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill

Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram

And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink, therefore I am."

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed
