Squidge.org INC Financials for 2023

Attached is the financials for Squidge.org INC for our first year of existence.  Of course we didn’t start taking official donations until mid-2023, and as such our bills were paid out of pocket until Squidge could support itself so the bills aren’t expressed in full-year context.  We’ll see that next year, as long as we […]

About 24 hours from the time this post goes up, Squidge.org will undergo routine Sunday morning maintenance.  SquidgeWorld’s maintenance takes about 45 minutes start to finish, but other systems including Squidge.org, Image hosting, and others usually have about 15 minutes worth of maintenance at most.  However, Sunday, March 24th’s maintenance will take longer.  And while […]

Back Up – PARTIALLY

It came as a surprise that our 10pm estimate for power being back on turned out to be 8:30am.  Everything in the system should be up with the exception of SquidgeWorld Archive.  The server took a hit, and I’m resurrecting it.  Hopefully not more than a few more hours. edit: SquidgeWorld.org is now back up […]

PNW Storms

Please be aware that those of us in the Pacific Northwest are experiencing sub-freezing temps and sleet/freezing rain.  This can lead to power outages.  And if so, would mean that Squidge.org properties (Mailserver, Image hosting, SquidgeWorld, etc.) could go down without notice.

It’s Time for SquidgeWorld’s Year in Review!
