Hey, it's free, remember?

The server that hosts wooljersey (and hahaha.org, i.e. my email) was down for non-payment of its monthly $124 bill. We had the wrong atm / visa card paying it.

This machine used to have customers that paid its way and floated free fun projects, like wooljersey. Now it has no customers, and it's costing me $100 out of pocket every month. (Google ads net me $30 / month.) I can't afford to put that kind of money into it right now. Unless I can find a way to fund it (without asking for hand-outs) I may have to find a new home for wooljersey. If you are interested in hosting this site, let me know. It requires a fairly large amount of disk space, sometimes not insignificant cpu and memory usage, and certain specific software packages. It can be hosted on several operating systems but works best on linux/unix.

I was hoping google ads would cover the monthly cost, but so far no dice. I would be happy to sell ads to bicycle companies, but don't know how to proceed there, and have no free time to do it.

Hope this is on-topic,
