(i&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;m so dying to put my pictures up online! oodles and oodles of pictures!!<\/p>\n<p>so i bought this domain name (pearlescent.org) and tried playing with it, but i don&#8217;t think i&#8217;m happy with the host, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webhostingweb.com\/\" class=\"extlink\">webhostingweb<\/a>. the dns for it has been down intermittently for the past week, so it seems a little pointless to purchase a domain name that&#8217;s memorable if it&#8217;s impossible to access the site with it anyway. augh! so i&#8217;ll keep looking.<\/p>\n<p>dunno what i&#8217;m gonna do. there&#8217;s time to figger it out, so i&#8217;m not too worried. it&#8217;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&#8217;s just ridiculous!<\/p>\n<p>wish me luck. if you have any suggestions, feel free to <a href=\"mailto:straypixie[at]yahoo.com\">email me<\/a>. i wish i could just say, &#8220;leave a comment!&#8221; but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.enetation.co.uk\/\" class=\"extlink\">enetation<\/a> is sooooo darrrrned slooooooow. i&#8217;ll find a new way soon. =)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>i almost, ALMOST give up on having a website at all. and then i realize i&#8217;m just too narcissistic to do that. ;-) okay, that&#8217;s not true. but it&#8217;s like&#8230; i&#8217;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 &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pearlescent.org\/blog\/2003\/02\/web-hosting-woes\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;web hosting woes.&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-thisnthat"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pearlescent.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pearlescent.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pearlescent.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pearlescent.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pearlescent.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=457"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.pearlescent.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1145,"href":"http:\/\/www.pearlescent.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457\/revisions\/1145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pearlescent.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pearlescent.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pearlescent.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
