Well, that took longer than I thought...

As you may or may not know, this website is hosted on an old Pentium III in a closet at work. Unrelated to the storms, the IT folks decided to do some much-needed upgrades.

Here's an exchange:

GUY #1: Does anyone use this thing? [Points to J's web server]

GUY #2: Dunno. Don't think so

So they unplugged the machine and that was that. And then I had to ask about reconnecting the machine, and would that be too much of a problem, etc.

So, sorry about that.

Free hosting. You get what you paid for.

***** Have you ever wondered if and how the Romans were able to do long division, you know, since they used Roman numerals and all?

Neither had I. But apparently they could. And if you're curious as to how they pulled that trick off, check it out.

Or don't. Seriously, I'd suggest you don't.

Instead, you could read this article about YouTube.

It's my favorite kind of article: you read it and it seems obvious and you wonder why you didn't think about it all yourself, but for some reason, you didn't. And, as an added bonus, it mentions Lancelot Link.

Rather than quote anything from it, I'll just tell you to read the whole thing.

***** Wow, apparently Lance Bass of 'N Sync fame is gay.

I think the more suprising thing is that there were straight members of that band.
