etherlabs.net might be homeless

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2003.11.10

Ken informs me that the continued cost of keeping etherlabs.net online is becoming too much. I'm looking into places where I can keep my site hosted, cheaply. None of them, of course, will be able to provide the database software I use to run this thing. So I'll have to rewrite everything to use flat files.

Dangit, just when the photo management tool was getting to be useful! Now all of it - the movies, the journal, the reader comments, the photos (oh the photos) all of it will be run without a database. Sniff! I guess this is also the death of the spammer's file. No more 100-new-addresses-per day.
