the web host that this site has been on for the past few months had been going down a lot, leaving my page and others' sites hosted off mine totally in the dark. i'd come home to a whole mess of messages on my answering machine, all from people asking me where the hell their web site was. besides running xenomorph.net, i host other pages and sites for other people. when my site goes down, their site goes down as well.
after several days of no service, i decided to move my site to another web host.
