i almost, ALMOST give up on having a website at all. and then i realize i’m just too narcissistic to do that. ;-) okay, that’s not true. but it’s like… i’ve always had a webpage! aaah!
anyway, i am currently being hosted at freeshell.org, otherwise known as the sdf public access unix system. my friend thomas chen referred me to them, and i am completely grateful to him for doing so! (i’m learning unix! yay!) sdf went down last week, their access provider having cancelled service after SDF was apparently was the target of a DDoS attack. it’s back up and running fine now, but it reminded me of the importance of having a domain name and lots and lots of web space. i got a digital camera recently, and i’m so dying to put my pictures up online! oodles and oodles of pictures!!
so i bought this domain name (pearlescent.org) and tried playing with it, but i don’t think i’m happy with the host, webhostingweb. the dns for it has been down intermittently for the past week, so it seems a little pointless to purchase a domain name that’s memorable if it’s impossible to access the site with it anyway. augh! so i’ll keep looking.
dunno what i’m gonna do. there’s time to figger it out, so i’m not too worried. it’s just kind of a pain in the ass to be changing web addresses all the time. i would very much like something permanent. i mean.. there are at least three different ways you can access this site right now. i do not want to make that into five or seven or ten. that’s just ridiculous!
wish me luck. if you have any suggestions, feel free to email me. i wish i could just say, “leave a comment!” but enetation is sooooo darrrrned slooooooow. i’ll find a new way soon. =)
