Freeshell, which hosts my blog, has been offline since 1/31/03 but we're finally back up. There were three DDoS attacks on freeshell in the past couple of weeks, prompting NWLink to cancel our co-location contract in order to provide quality service for NWLink's other customers.
This just reaffirmed for me that I probably ought to look for a paid hosting service like cornerhost. Freeshell's availability has just not been adequate, although I certainly get my money's worth! I'll probably also re-launch my blog with a cooler name (still debating between 2 of them) and better organization and (hopefully) better content.
