And I’m back
Posted on August 18, 2008
Exactly one week after Isabelle died I got a message from my host company saying they where cutting my service. No reason given at all and they took payment up until the day the service was cut. I can only presume ‘unlimited’ bandwidth doesn’t mean unlimited.
So I moved things over to another host but couldn’t understand why I kept seeing the old site but everybody else (I presumed looking at logs) was getting the blank new site. That is until I remembered hacking the hosts file on this windows machine to redirect zx-81.com when I moved from my vps a while ago. One more reason to use Unix over Windows is I can find the hosts file on a strange unix box pretty quickly but it took 10 frustrating minutes and a google search to understand where MS had put things.
It’s been a hard few weeks (and today wasn’t easy either given on the day we where due a 21 week scan we picked a grave marker instead) but things are hopefully getting themselves sorted again.
I’ve started posting on Nerd News again and Get Shirty is getting a new theme design to get my html/css foo pumped so I can start applying for jobs over the next few weeks. The original plan was to swap over house husband/wife roles at the end of the summer anyway so at least that’s on track. If anyone wants a full/part time web dev in the West Mids or has a long term contract and can handle the fact I have Aspergers drop me a line.
