My internet service provider unexpectedly changed this site's IP address on Friday causing it to be down for a few days. This was the last, ill-placed card on the ever-growing tower of obstacles.

After a few months of struggling to get my own web server up and running, I've finally decided that the do-it-yourself phase is officially over and I went out and bought some commercial hosting space. Setting up the server was a great learning experience, but it has also taught me that it's worth spending a few bucks a month for someone else to maintain the availability of your site.

I lost one entry?the one recapping Derek's birthday weekend in Las Vegas?due to a missed backup on my part. I probably won't attempt to rewrite it, but at the same time, I feel as though the site is continuing incomplete. It's really amazing how much these quick entries begin to mean to you. I suppose it's the weight I put behind them in my mind and am wondering if maybe I should reprioritize.

Had a footwork technique clinic on Thursday at the climbing gym. Saw 40 Days and 40 Nights on Friday with Lindsay. Caught up with my Chinese class and made a few dates for the week. It was a good weekend.
