My webhosting company took it offline without telling me – they said I was abusing their server. Finally they have figured out that it was a problem with their reporting software, not me. Anyway it is back online. UPDATE: Slicehost did the right thing by me. They [Read More…]
I had adopted, with a few minor changes, the well written comment policy used by Sebastian at Snowflakes in Hell. Basically all I ask is that you do treat others the same as how you would treat them if you were discussing something face-to-face. Comment Policy: I [Read More…]
