The last few days has been spent looking for some hosting options for this site. The problem is that I have to take this computer (which is acting as a server right now) out of the dorm for Christmas. Not only will I need it for work over the holidays, but if I get caught on-campus during the break I will be escorted forcefully off the campus for trespassing. Nice. One option I am considering is to set up a _cheap_ Linux file server that can stay in my room. I'm looking for a Pentium-class (166-200 Mhz) machine with 32-64 Mb RAM, 2-4 Gb HD, a CD-ROM, and a monitor included. I want to spend about $250. Otherwise I will have to start considering monthly hosting. That might be problematic because of the experimental nature of the site I have stuff that might not run on your average hosting package. I'd prefer to go with the server so I could learn about Linux and Apache.

Happy belated birthday to my father. The Sailing King of Lake Ponchartrain.
