fireopal.org is down

Looks like the system hard drive died.

It's not going to be up until sometime tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. My options are limited by the fact that it's ancient hardware - it only talks IDE/PATA.

Oh, fun (not)

I just received a notification that as of 1 January 2016, my ISP (OneNeck/VISI) is getting out of the Home DSL business.

I wish they'd waited a year. I'm still hoping that 10gig fiber to my neighborhood gets installed next summer, but haven't heard anything about it yet.

So, for people in the Twin Cities, MN metro - who's your favorite DSL provider / ISP? I need a static IP because I'm hosting my own e-mail & web services at home.
