On top of that, I’ve been wholly unsuccessful in finding hosting that doesn’t suck (which rules out Sourceforge) and actually works more than 43% of the time (rules out Google Code Hosting and its entertaining array of internal server errors). To top that off, I discovered tonight that the secondary DNS for the domain that would have been the fallback has apparently chewed up my carefully crafted zone file, spat it out, and replaced it with an old one — and, naturally, it’s getting used instead of the primary for some reason I don’t have time to figure out.

I know I was very frustrated when, after leaving our house; a former housemate had the phone cut off. It cost me an arm and a leg to restore the contract with my ISP, here in Adelaide. Sadly, I've still never recovered all of the bills from said housemate... Ah, damn. I know I was very frustrated when, after leaving our house; a former housemate had the phone cut off.
