I pay $7.95/month for hosting, but the price will completely depend on your needs. And I wouldn't worry about leaving the Mini on 24/7. It won't crash, and it shouldn't be pulling all that much power. I’m pretty sure there’s just something wrong with the cable line in my apartment.

It has been the same ip for 4 months already. anyway I've been thinking about movint the site to a hosting services but I don't know how much it would cost, in the other hand I don't like the idea of leaving my mac mini on 24/7.

Fri, 04 Aug 2006 21:10:59 +0000 http://macolyte.net/?p=50#comment-15 I used HaloScan in a previous incarnation of my blog. I had forgotten about it, so thanks for the reminder. I'll look into using it. The site used to be hosted on my Mac Mini. Unfortunately, I started having strange, unsolvable connectivity problems with my cable modem. It was randomly resetting itself, not grabbing an IP, stuff like that. Makes it difficult to host a site if nobody can get to it. After much frustration, I decided to purchase hosting. And of course my cable modem problems promptly vanished. Happy to see someone is reading. One of these days, I may actually post some real content.

I use HaloScan (no need to login). anyway I like your blog, and I wanted to ask you if you host this website is on a Macmini.

]]> Comment on Python Challenge by a.j. http://macolyte.net/2006/02/02/17/#comment-8 a.j. Fri, 07 Apr 2006 19:36:18 +0000 http://macolyte.net/?p=17#comment-8 I think the thing that really sucks is that the forums over there seem to have lost steam. People were posting stuff there in relatively large volumes when the site first opened. Now after all this time has past and the excitement has worn off, the people who are good enough to know the answers to the challenges have long since gone, and the people like us who don't even know where to start have given up. It's sad really. <a href="http://fuzzylogic.banksie.co.uk/?p=57">This guy</a> seems to think level 12 was the hardest, if it's any consolation.

I just reached level 12 also and I have absolutely no interest in doing it myself. Googling for the answer got me nowhere (except to find your post!). It really is sad that the Python Challenge is relying so much on PIL. Using it the first time was nice, for the exposure, but this is now two in a row, and I think the fourth time we've needed it. I hope I can find the answer and move on to 13... Wow, I feel like I wrote this blog post myself! I just reached level 12 also and I have absolutely no interest in doing it myself.

But don't worry, I won't be changing my blog again. I like where I am now. ;-) And I wish him luck with his orgasm-giving. Wow, I think that looks really good.
