Internet still here, fans rejoice!
So here’s the effect of the Excite@Home bankruptcy on moi: my new homepage (that I don’t use) should be set to http://home.attbroadband.com/ instead of http://home.excite.com/.
Yawn.
I escaped the horrific fate of being relegated to 56k Hell by being a former MediaOne customer. Skippy!
OTOH, it looks like the local news server is f*cked up again — unless people suddenly stopped posting MP3s. Grrr.
I thought of a little money making scheme the other day while checking out commercial news feeds: my own commercial news feed! It seems like half of the news feeds are just reselling newsfeeds.com content anyway.
The difference would be that my news server would only carry a handful of binary groups (i.e. Buffy and Futurama) and the retention would be freakin huge. Charge $5/mo. and dominate the niche.
Now if I could only find some free servers and free bandwidth… $)
UPDATE: my net connection is good but _this_ server is down. Assume that if you’re reading this that it is back up.
