I've been enjoying my summer break so far. (I got a week off of work, so I took off as soon as I finished my last paper on Tuesday.) Even the drive home was nice -- no traffic, no cops, just me and the road, cruise control and my iPod.

Tuesday, Warped.com, my benclark.com host, went down. It stayed down until yesterday, which is forever in the hosting world. Well, partly because I'd been thinking of doing it for a few months now, and partly because I wasn't sure if Warped would ever return from this crash, I switched over to Wil Wheaton's host, Logjamming. I get 100 MB instead of 50, but I lose the ability to relay my SMTP and access a shell. There are a couple tradeoffs, but Logjamming seems to be a whole lot faster... and if it's good enough for Wil Wheaton, it's good enough for me. :)

DNS hasn't updated locally yet, so I can't log in and upload files yet. However, some of you might see a placeholder page when you visit. Just bear with me for a little while. :)

Email may go to Warped or Logjamming, I don't know. It'll all get sorted out eventually.

Edit: DNS still hasn't updated at my parent's place, but apparently both Jess and my computer at work can see the new benclark.com. I wiped the placeholder page, so the only difference between the two right now is the new one won't load my cruft-free URLs (so you can't read any entries or view any categories).
