We have recently moved the web site to this, our newest home. Just remember the site name "rhs73.net".  It will always bring you to the correct web site.

This is the story of how we got here. Firstly, web stuff is just a hobby for me. I got started with the Koko Head Shooting Complex web site. My real job is with Hawaiian Telcom. I work in a department where we sell Cisco Networking software and hardware solutions for small, medium and enterprise businesses. I'm primarily a "router rat" and I work on Cisco routing and switching solutions for customers. No, we're not just a telephone company. Customer Premise Equipment is a large part of our business. We used to just do networks, giving our customers Local Area Networks as well as Wide Area Networks. Hawaiian Telcom can now provide Wan, Lan, Internet, Wireless, and Voice over IP solutions. Anyway, I also work part time, weekends, for the City and County of Honolulu, Department of Parks and Recreation at the Koko Head Shooting Complex. That's its official name. Everyone just calls it the Koko Head Rifle Range. You may or may not know about it. From town, it's half a mile past Hanauma Bay on the Mauka side of Kalanianaole Highway. I wanted to make my "soap box", there's so much information that i thought people should know, so I built a web site for the gun range. You can find it at KHSC.info. As I work for Hawaiian Telcom, I have DSL. Along with my DSL subscription, I had free web hosting as part of the package. Actually, everyone who has or had a DSL account from Hawaiian Telcom, also had free web hosting. Very few people know what to do with it or how to use it.

So with one site under my belt, now my son becomes involved in Boy Scouts. I eventually become an Assistant Scoutmaster. What better way to advertise and at the same time, keep the boys and parents informed about what's going on than a web site! So, endeavor number two evolved. You can find this web site at Troop664.org. My Scoutmaster also had DSL from Hawaiian Telcom so we were hosting the Boy Scout Troop website there.

I forget how it happened but I eventually became engaged in the RHS '73 30th Class Reunion. Long story short, web site number three. This was being hosted on a couple of home.hawaii.rr.com personal web space. Like Hawaiian Telcom, Oceanic Time Warner - Road Runner accounts also had web hosting space. So, I was using Art Lum's space and I think one of the Goodell brothers and maybe one more.

So, here it is, spring of 2009. Economic downturn and all that stuff. Hawaiian Telcom decides to eliminate the free web hosting and at the same time, Time Warner opts to consolidate web hosting servers away from Hawaii and to the Mainland. So, I'm scrambling to move my Boy Scout web site and the Koko Head web sites to a personal web host that I pay for just for experimental purposes. The I get an email from Ernel, "what happened to RHS73.net???". I don't know. After a couple of days of checking, I discovered that hawaii.rr.com took down the web hosting servers. So I'm scrambling to move another site. Well, Road Runner still provides web hosting but it's a "Canned" site. I was limited in what I could do. I couldn't make a Free Form site. I had to use their templates.
