…. and we’re back up!
Thanks to mochahost for admiting their error and fixing the domain records, microlite20.net is live once more, as is my Real Lair, which is nice. Mistakes and fubars happen – it’s how you deal with them that counts, and in this case mochahost came up trumps.
It’s good to be back.
This backup site exists, as ever, for Those Times when things go wrong, and this was just one of Those Times.
See you in the real blog!
So anyhow. Missed me?
My usual site at http://blog.microlite20.net has died – temporarily, I hope – thanks to a domain that appears to have expired in error (my host’s, not mine) and promptly been snarfed up by a domain harvester. Only time, patience and an Awful Lot of Shouting will tell whether I’ll be able to get it back or not.
More annoyingly, this is the Top Level Domain which hosts the Microlite20 role-playing game which is my own humble contribution to this wonderful hobby. Thankfully nothing is lost – all the data is still there – just not in a readily accessible format. I’ve already got plans afoot to migrate things to another server if this isn’t up inside 24 hours. A day’s downtime, I can live with. Beyond that and contingency plans have to kick into gear.
As the saying goes: fun fun fun!
Choice is perhaps the most important word in the English language. Without choice, we are no longer human. We become automata, less that human – lower even than animals. Choice is the thing that defines us, that guide us and forges our personalities. Each choice we make – what to eat, who to love, which job to take – is a step along our life. Choice is the key that opens the doors for us every single day.
Choice is who we are.
Yet, there are companies, individuals and even governments that are trying to take that freedom of choice away from us. Some of the choices may appear trivial, like the right to choose what we do with the CDs that we have purchased legitimately, or the right to choose what operating system or web browser to use, yet these limitations to our choice are mere symptoms of a much wider malaise – a plague against our freedom of choice.
This blog is about choice. Your choice. Follow the pack and accept your ever shrinking freedoms, or forge a new pack, a new mentality, and fight back.
It’s your choice.
