Read MoreBack Up *MOSTLY*
All on-premises Squidge services (squidge.org, Image Hosting, SquidgeWorld, Classic Squidge, IRC) went down Thursday night at approximately 6pm Pacific time due to network issues. We seem to be mostly up this morning, with the exception of Classic Squidge which only hosts a very small number of websites that depend on a very insecure, outdated version […]
Read MoreUnplanned Downtime
We had some issues overnight, which led to our database server failing. Not sure why it didn’t auto-recover like it should have and we will investigate. Meanwhile, all services are back up (though SquidgeWorld is going through Sunday maintenance as I type this). If after all services are back up you notice anything odd, please […]
Read MoreIntermittent Outages
Apparently our ISP, Ziply Fiber, is having intermittent outages in the Pacific Northwest. We had a 45 minute downtime earlier, and a 15 minute downtime just now. If you can’t access any Squidge.org services with the exception of FenRecs.com (which is remote hosted) then please wait a bit and then retry. Sorry, but this seems […]
Read MoreBrief Downtime
We went down for approximately 45 minutes, apparently due to an ISP issue. Both our fiber lines seemed to be down simultaneously, which meant there was something in the ISP’s switching office that barfed and they had to bring things back up. Nothing within Squidge.org itself went down, but all services except for FenRecs.com seemed […]
Read MoreImage Hosting – RESOLVED
We attempted an upgrade (a one-click, no mess upgrade which bombed) to get around a defect, but it bombed last night and no amount of pleading and prodding would get it to work. So this morning we’re live on the older version of our image hosting software and things are back up. If you see […]
Read MoreImage Hosting DOWN
Image hosting (https://images.squidge.org) is currently down. It will be up as soon as we’re able to. Please be aware that if this takes longer than expected, image hosting will become password-protected and unavailable until released.

Short Outage
About an hour ago we went down for about 20 minutes, but things should be up and running smoothly now. We had a power issue (electrician is testing some things) so we had to flip the breaker. And while most items are protected via battery backup, one of our systems blurped and didn’t automatically come […]
Read MoreSquidge.org INC Financials for 2024
Attached is a list of financials for Squidge.org, INC for 2024. While we raised enough money to cover our expenses, because of legal requirements and filings, we actually didn’t quite cover all of our bills – so it’s a good thing we had a cushion in the bank to cover these expenses. As a breakdown: […]
Read MoreSeeking A Graphic Artist
We’ve come up with a theme for our annual Summer fundraiser, but in order to bring our thoughts to fruition, we need someone who has some illustration experience. What we’re looking for is a cartoonish-like cabin at night (here’s a Shutterstock picture for reference). And while this is for fundraising, we can’t pay all that […]
Read MoreFenRecs.com Update
The rollout of FenRecs.com has gone so smoothly that I’ve decided to leave registrations open. That could change at any time, should we be inundated with bad actors, but for now I think we’re good. Fandom is doing good and so far things are awesome. The only issue that we’ve seen so far is with […]
