• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Hope all of you will be okay! 8.9 earthquake in Japan

Been watching it all morning since about 2AM. So far so good. All my family in Hawaii are okay.

I feel for Japan, they had little to no warning.
 
There is an advisory here in San Diego county. Probably little or nothing will happen this far south. Still, there are looky-lou people heading for the beach....

I don't normally pass on what people post on other forums for a number of reasons, but this is from a Tokyo office worker:

Thanks guys - myself and my family are all ok, sadly for the people that are a lot more north of tokyo are in hell right now. There has been this video playing here of these people in cars trying to outrun the tsunami through rice fields but eventually get washed away, it was pretty hard see that...

The images on the tube are unbelievable
That mass of black water littered with houses, boats, cars and god knows what else, burling through the fields is just unreal
 
Yes to see parts of homes on fire that is floating away....
We had minimum damage here in Hawaii. I think a few homes got swept away on one island however no loss of life. God Bless the people of Japan.
 
Yes I hope things get better over there. Wow what a day they had.

Does anyone have relatives in Japan?
 
Not to alarm anyone. But look at a map of the ring of fire. Couple years ago Chile got hit hard, Then a week or two ago New Zealand, now Japan. Is the NorthWest next in line????

My mother in law is Japanese, and her family there lives about 200 miles from the initial earthquake
The only thing they lost was the internet and some vases.... very fortunate
Though the road ahead will be very tough for that country

Pictures are also coming in from The Big Picture. I don't even know how they are going to start cleaning up in some of those areas. It is just mind blowing how much destruction occurred.

Staggering how fast everything got reduced to such chaos too. It's almost surreal seeing it in pictures, imagine coming out of where you hid - if you were lucky to, and finding a huge trawler parked in your street. It takes some thinking about.
