Don't make me grumpy. You wouldn't like me when I'm grumpy.

    Quick Weed what's the square root of absolute pi.

    There that should keep him busy while we find a way to make him happy again.

      <-- slides a couple of shots down the bar and pats weed on the head.

        command prompt inc, one of the companies that supports postgresql provices free hosting to free / open source projects that use PHP and postgresql.

        What do you need free hosting for? If it's for a FOSS type project, you can probably find a sponsor out there to host it.

        I host my own presence on the web using dynamic dns and a DSL line. It ain't fast, but I know it's up to date, and if it goes down in the middle of the night, I know exactly who to call 🙂

            Maybe he has a Rube Goldberg machine that dumps ice cold water on his head after the squirel watching the connection goes nuts and starts running on its wheel to pull the string connected to the bucket.

              But that involves the effort of training the squirrel to watch the connection. Unless you wired some electrodes to said squirrel and then when the connection was dropped pass current through aforementioned electrodes which would make the squirrel run etc etc

                So you've seen his set up too?

                  If you guys don't stop posting my trade secrets I'm gonna have to drag you into court ala SCO ya know...

                    What about a host that cost $200 for lifetime of service (probably 6 years at least) plus additional costs if bandwidth and space go haywire.

                    With all the features, 24 hour support, bells and whistles including CVS stuff, and a plan to support the new programming things in a very active way.

                    ???

                      why not just use a true low budget host something liek 3.00 a month there are a ton out there right now and they will eb better the the free ones and give you a start.

                        $200 lifetime service that includes 24/7 support? They'll probably throw in a bridge and ocean-front property in Arizona too.

                          or till the company goes under...

                            Well, I know of at least one that is flourishing right now.
