Ars Digita Uptime (previously uptime.arsdigita.com) is now dead, but as of September 8, 2001, monitoring of my at-home site began again with OpenACS.org. The at-home record is here. We were switched to comcast, and since March 2, 2002, a default site on comcast has been monitored, and its record is here.This report (below) used to reside at Arsdigita (now available here at archive.org). On June 7, 2001 we received an email from Arsdigita announcing the demise of the Uptime free monitoring service. Unbelievably, they only gave 24-hours notice! I suppose we got what we paid for, but such short notice is not very neighborly. Maybe it has something to do with the legal troubles between the Venture Capitalists and the founder of the company, Philip Greenspun, who also founded the Uptime service?
About as suddenly as they announced the demise, they quietly restored the service for a while. Then some time later, they as quietly announced the death of the service at the web site. It took me a while to notice the change and sign up with OpenACS.
| Quote of the moment |
| Bryan is the least of a liar I know in public life. I have always found him direct and honest, and he never goes back on what he has said to me in private—a rare thing, if found, in public men. I found him purely frank. |
| ~ William Howard Taft (1857–1930), U.S. president. Butt to his sister-in-law, Clara F. Butt, following a call by Bryan on Taft, April 7, 1910. Archie Butt, Taft and Roosevelt: The Intimate Letters of Archie Butt, Military Aide, 2: 610, Doubleday, Doran & Company (1930). At Bryan’s suggestion, Taft sought world peace by having his secretary of state draft model arbitration treaties with Britain and France. On the other hand, the ferment of progressivism Bryan had seeded in the Democracy stimulated a similar progressivism in Republican insurgents, who opposed Taft on many issues. Bryan pledged to support Taft whenever he advocated the issues he had voiced in his own presidential platform of 1908. ~ |
