baby steps
I'm thinking of moving away from BlogSpot. Unfortunately, I have a couple of problems. I'm an empty pocketed cheapskate, I'm too lazy to really buckle down and figure out CGI scripts and all that, and I have so many things I ought to be doing instead of blogging.
Still, delusions of grandeur keep coming up. And, I might have found the right place to use them, or at least leave them to die. DragonFort.net is a new hosting service setup by a Michigan college student that offers reasonable service, and for only a dollar. Yes, that's what I said. You get 300mb of server space and 10Gb of bandwidth a month. And it's only a dollar.
The guy seems nice enough, talked to him this morning on AIM. Apparently he works for this ISP in the summers, but they don't pay him, just give him server space. I know I get what I pay for, but it's a good place to test things out. Besides, if it goes under I lose what, 12 dollars?
One problem though. I need a good domain. I'm not sure if I want to transfer the liberalartsstudent line up to the big leagues, since it's a bit for people to remember and they're likely to forget the double S. The domains I could think up in the last 3 hours, johnshanks.com, allo.com, mediocracy.com, stickinthemud.com, cheesy.com, whee.com, and arggh.com are all gone. MyBlogAteMyHomework.com is available, but that might be a bit too long.
