Aussie Blogs is down indefinitely (Oct 13 2003 17:19 GMT) - The update tracker consists of two servers, the Spider Server handles checking sites for updates every 10 minutes, and the Web Server hosts the web site and databases. The Spider Server is connected to a Telstra ADSL, and often exceeds the monthly download allowance meaning I have to switch it off towards the end of the month to avoid being overcharged by Tel$tra. Despite switching over to using changes.xml files for monitoring of a fair number of the sites, I still exceed the piss poor limits imposed by Tel$tra. I'm currently looking for alternative hosting for the Spider Server, however this is difficult. |

It's Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, and as long as our house was already clean from Friday's party, having a dinner party seemed like a good idea. It was the first time we'd fed more than 4 people with real cutlery, plates, and wine glasses, and the food turned out realy well. We didn't make the bread or the pumpkin ice cream pie. That was one good pie, irvinl - I can see why C. |

Je suis sûr que c'est là le contrecoup de la fatigue du Week-end, ne serait-ce que la route parcourrue hier soir pour rentrer à minuit, comme Cendrillon.
