9-30-2001: EagleRidgeStore.com Server Upgrade Notice
Our EagleRidgeStore.com server is being upgraded 9/30 - 10/2 to a faster, bigger machine. During the upgrade period, the page(s) you seek on the websites hosted on that server may not always be available, especially while the new IP address is being propagated to the world's Domain Name Servers (DNS). If this occurs, please try again later, thanks! Note that this Ertin.com website is not affected by the upgrade since it is on a completely different server.
EagleRidge Technologies' in-house web sites on the EagleRidgeStore.com server include EagleRidgeStore.com, EagletMall.com, BestCommRates.com, and WebPosition-USA.com. Some of EagleRidge Technologies' web hosting customers' sites are also on that server, and are being upgraded at the same time, including but not limited to BanningEyre.com, PCRobin.com, AWomanAWeek.com, DanAndJuliesTXTango.com, and TEAMSofHouston.com.
Some University of Maryland University College (UMUC) graduate classes are also hosted on the EagleRidgeStore.com server and are affected by the upgrade, including CSMN635 Systems Development and Project Control, MSWE646 Software Design and Development, and MSWE603 Systems Engineering. Students in those classes are directed to use their ertin.com mirror sites for their class material until the upgrade is complete.

For Systems Engineers -- MSIT650 and MSWE603 will be identical (but keeping
both names) starting Summer 2001. Sign up early for these and CSMN635! Be
advised: because the summer session is shorter and hence more intense, it is
recommended that you sign up for no more than one of these at a time.

additions to our site include:
1/20/2001: Public
Radio's Afropop
Worldwide show débuts new web site: Afropop.org
opened in alpha to the public this week, after months of work. Still a work in
progress, the site will grow as editors transform the volumes of data gathered
by Afropop staff over the years into usable database form. EagleRidge
Technologies' Crystal
Sloan provided Web, database, and management consulting every step of the
way, aided by long-time associates Julie
Broyles (database development), Maggie
Farley (who translated the pages from artist's renderings into working
HTML), and John. The database, with nearly 200 tables, is designed to take
the site far into the future. They want to be the online
repository of information on the music of Africa and the African diaspora.
