Title: Bye Mr. Bear...
Post by: Golfhaus on May 17, 2007, 10:31:14 pm
<sigh>

My avatar is gone. The company I was using for my webhosting sent me an invoice for the next year. I wrote back and said, "No, I would rather use one of your lower-costing plans, because I don't really use the webhosting much anymore, and really just want the e-mail address and a place to noodle around now and then with some HTML." They wrote back and said, "We can do that, but you'll have to pay for the service you already have, submit a request-to-downgrade application with the $69 downgrade fee, and after 90 days the difference is refunded to you."

I basically said "Fuck that," but forgot that I was storing my Warhol Cornelius on the site. I think I still have it on my desktop, but the desktop is in Virginia preparing to be moved.

So if I look a little naked right now, that's why. And if anyone has some suggestions on a decent hosting provider, I'm all ears.

Sometimes it amazes me how ephemeral stuff on the 'net can be.  Useful stuff, that is.  Embarrasing, or amateurish, or illegal stuff probably has a karmic persistence btye set somehow.
