Zogmo, the folks that used to own our data center, were aquired by the Lakota Data Center. I just got a call from someone there named Chris. Bad news – they are jacking up our monthly rental from $799 to $1099. That’s about a 38% price increase… yikes!

Zogmo’s URL used to be http://www.zogmo.com. As of the date of this post, it still works, but I don’t know for how much longer it will continue to be a valid URL.

I’ve posted an example implementation here.

What part of “shall not be infringed.” don’t you understand?
