If anyone reading this tried to use the site today they probably noticed that the server didn't respond. I decided to join the SOPA/PIPA blackout but rather than go with a banner actually show anyone who wanted to visit what a censored web might be like. PIPA and SOPA are really really really bad laws. The entertainment industry is banging its anti-piracy drum but they seem to not understand or simply don't care about how terrible the laws they are proposing are. For more information please take a look at the wikipedia article on the subject.

Had some down time in the domain name switchover but it looks like everything is now working fine with NameCheap rather than GoDaddy. Also discovered that something was wrong with my mail server and I wasn't being notified when people posted comments. I've gone through and responded to a couple. My sincere apologies for taking so long. Of course whatever doesn't kill us only makes us stronger and hopefully I'll get to writing some more articles.

I'll be travelling on Dec 29th so I decided to move my domain from GoDaddy early. NameCheap is cheaper and doesn't support things like SOPA which would ruin the internet.

In the wake of all the recent bad news about the future of the Internet in Canada I've decided to lay out a plan that will fix things forever :) Please read and force everyone you can find to read my open letter to small Canadian ISPs (and Canadians too). If you'd be willing to buy into my plan leave a comment to show your support and or criticisms.

I've decided I don't want to do all the work to manage any online photo albums and as such have created a Flickr account. I only have one set up for now but I plan to expand it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ragingsloth/
