Apologies to anyone who couldn't connect to my website within the last day. Even *I* couldn't connect to it, not even to post anything. I'm not sure what happened to it, but I suspect that the webserver needed restarting in some form. The problem is that my ISP isn't really a commercial one that provides 24/7 support. It's run by a bunch of people whom I completely trust technically, but it's not their day job and so when things go wrong it sometimes takes them a while to respond. For me it's a trade-off: I like not being with a commercial service and I trust the technical skills of the staff to solve any problems. Unfortunately sometimes the problems can escape unnoticed (and therefore go unfixed) for more time than would be good.
But I've paid for my service for 2005, and I really, really, really don't want to have to try to move everything. So let's hope for the best and lots of uptime...
