May. 1st, 2009 01:09 pmWhee, 3-day weekend. If the weather were nicer, I'd probably be already gone on some weird adventure again. But it's quite rainy outside, so I'm probably going to have a weird adventure in the comfort of my own home instead. I want to go somewhere anyway though.
If any of you have a Geocities site, you should know that ship is about to sink; Yahoo announced the free hosting is getting discontinued by the end of the year. As much of a bummer it is to lose out on free webhosting, one should remember they offer only 15MB of space which would be a lot if this was ten years ago. Also they had low monthly bandwidth usage which came out to about 4MB per hour, which meant that a denial-of-service attack could be run by someone on dialup. I knocked mine offline within minutes while scraping stuff off of it to use on the newer site.
Something else that's a lot harder to do on a Geocities site than with a full hosting plan: This.
