To piggyback on what Dave Berg has to say . . .
Saturday, October 8th is not that far away, and we all know
that on that date, all those Minnesotans reading this who
are without newborns or weddings to attend will be at one of
two beer events: the BEER GOOD Bus Tour II, or Autumn Brew
Review.
SO PLEASE SIGN UP THIS WEEK FOR ONE OR THE OTHER! :)
And sign up some beer-loving friends and family.
The bus trip still has seats left, but if we don't sell a
few more before September 9th, I'm going to be forced to
cancel the trip, since we need 30 to make it financially
feasible. Some of the people who said that they were
definitely in for this have yet to sign up. Thank you to
those who have paid the deposit, and please don't be bashful
about inviting non-brewers along--all beer lovers welcome!
Think of it this way--if you don't sign up for some October
8th beer event soon, there might not be a bus tour, and this
might be the final ABR (if I'm not misinterpreting Dave's
messages). So next fall, there's no bus tour III, and no
ABR, and everyone is sitting at home, SOBER(!?!?) and
lonely, wishing that someone would schedule some fun beer
event. Hmmmm . . .
Sorry to be a crab--maybe it's the rainy gloom.
Thanks!

Has anyone noticed that the AHA website can be reached through either
www.beertown.org, or by www.beertown.com? The Beertown.COM site must have
come later, because my company filters the BEERTOWN.ORG, site, but I can
get to it via BEERTOWN.COM. That may be blocked any day too, of course.
I guess my suggestion is to Jim - could MNBREWERS also be registered with a
.ORG, or a .something-else address, pointed to the same content? The web
filter may not find the new one. Just a thought.

Most web filtering is done by content, mostly. I run the MNBREWERS site
and the server it sits on. I also run the web filtering for the company I
work at full time. There probably won't be an easy way to get around this.

I just played around a little with how my workplace does web filtering.
It is done strictly by name. For example, if I try to go to
www.northernbrewer.com the request is denied. If I ping that address and
learn that the IP is 208.42.68.77 and enter the IP into a web browser, I
get right to their page and am able to browse around. If I try to go to
www.mnbrewers.com the request is denied. If I ping that address and learn
that the IP is 65.199.118.138 and enter the IP into a web browser I end up
getting page not found. I am not a web expert, but there must be something
simple that can be changed by whoever hosts mnbrewers.com that would allow
it to be accessed by IP number.
Now that may not help at Jim's workplace, as not all web filtering is
created equal. I have just found that it works with the way my work
filters web requests.

Jim-
Sounds like a personal problem! (Just kidding....) My work filters
mnbrewers.com from browsing while at work also. Do you have internet
access at home? Can you download it from there?
It might be worth a talk with whoever manages the firewall at your work
too, and see why they filter MNBREWERS.COM .
I'd rather not have duplicate content on the two sites. Also, the YAHOO
site has come to be a repository of mostly technical information on
brewing, mostly for the BJCP class.
I will send you a copy of the BOILER via email.

Dumb question for any of us who have to deal with firewalls:
Is it possible to put the Boiler out on the Yahoo web site under Files?
Our filewall has no issue with Yahoo but does not like mnbrewers.com.
Thanks!
