Cheap-AssTM Hosting are still having intermittent problems. I dunno what happened this time but my site was down for 2 days. I couldn’t reach it at all for one day, neither my site nor Cheap-AssTM’s website. But when the rest of Cheap-AssTM came back online, and also some sites of people who I know use them. But my site served up some juicy 404’s and I couldn’t connect to its FTP. Weird.
CPanel is still all screwed up. Ah well.

Is it safe yet? I’ve added a bit of holiday spirit to my site by adding a christmas tree, unfortunately there was nowhere to put it so Misty here is kindly holding it aloft for us.
My site has been all monged up lately. I’m not quite sure exactly, but i think what happened was that the web hosts introduced a new server recently and moved my site to it. The new server is also using a different nameserver so the domains dns entries needed to be changed. The DNS change must have taken a lot longer to propagate all the servers of the world than it should have, or maybe it was just blueyonder… my isp that messed up? I dunno, all this internet malake never made much sense to me, I’m sure there must be a better way to manage domains and all that, someone ought to shut the internet down and start again.
The problem was that the domain was resolving inconsistently somehow, sometimes it would send my browser to the new site and sometimes the old site. It was inconsistent between my 2 machines as well, sometimes my PC would be looking at the new site, and my mac would send me to the old site. and vise-versa, despite them both running from the same router. Weird huh? What caused mucho confusion was the fact that my web hosts didn’t remove my site from the old server, they just copied it and I would be posting entries and making small changes to my site on one comp, and they wouldn’t be showing up on the other and i’d be scratching my head thinking what the fuck is going on here?
Once i had figured out what had happened i emailed the hosts and asked them to remove the old copy of the site so that I could regain some sanity. They kinda agreed so now you either see my site or you see a ‘no website configured at this address’ type affair.
It’s still not sorted, and there probably isn’t much point posting anything until it is.
