Won’t be on much this week

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Just so everyone won’t be wondering where I went, I won’t be on very much for the remainder of this week.

We are moving to a new house, but we are not moved in yet, and my ISP switched our service over to the new house early this morning.

I’m currently typing this from my laptop at that house, just FYI. My home server, hellow.homeunix.org, went down with my connection too. It won’t be back up until I get everything set back up at our new house.

Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Geocities Shuts Down

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Geocities Logo

With great sadness, one of the original hosting services of the web is shutting down tomorrow due to internal Yahoo! budget cuts.

Until the cutoff, you are free to download your site onto your computer. All data will be deleted after the cutoff, though.

The Archive Team is attempting to save as many pages as they can from Geocities before the lights go out on the service.

Mashable has a great article on this event: http://mashable.com/2009/10/25/geocities-closes-2/

XKCD has also altered their site to emulate a… badly well designed Geocities website (It nearly froze Firefox): http://xkcd.com/
