I’ve been away for about a month, in the face of server issues, career and work issues, and a general re-evaluation of what I want this space to be about.

My server (Greycube) had a catastrophic failure about a week before I was to transfer the domain off the machine, and so I lost www service AND email at a time when we were pitching work, so I’m sure we look like amateurs. I’m now happily parked on a quick, steady Solaris box in Laurel, with Appletalk over IP, which is absolutely wonderful. No more Fetch, WSFTP, or crappy Win NT FTP services, which were about as stable as a Central American government.

Freelance work has been good lately, thereby lightening the issues with getting paychecks on time; not only has it been financially rewarding but the work has been challenging as well.
