Another free service bites the dust. I will no longer be reachable via sachac@subdimension.com, and I hope whoever sends me stuff there will think of Googling to find out my current address - sacha@sachachua.com, as of 2003.03.13. Here's the text from their website at http://www.subdimension.com/ :

subDIMENSION.com falling apart????

You got that straight . . .

Our ISP (DSL.net) cut our line on 3/3/03 due to a "violation of contract" or more to the point a violation of their "acceptable use policy". There were too many spam complaints about the subDIMENSION.com domain for them to handle. We were not the originating party in any of the spam complaints (aside from a brief open relay problem), but I gather we are still ultimately responsible for your behavior with the email accounts that you obtain from us. How the hell do people like YAHOO, HOTMAIL, and any other free email provider deal with spammer complaints from their ISP's? Do they own their own ISP? How do they govern their user community? How deep do your pockets have to be to offer a free-email service?

subDIMENSION will be reborn somewhere else in the near future . . . as soon as we can find a place to put it . . . please stay tuned . . . and check back often . . . we hope to have something available shortly.

subDIMENSION will NOT be offering FREE or PAY email accounts anymore . . . thanks to the spammers who brought us to this point . . . and our apologies to anyone that has mail still residing on our servers . . . BUT . . . the mail servers have been TURNED OFF as an attempt to be in compliance with the "acceptable use policy".

subDIMENSION will be offering a prorated refund to our premium pay and pro-hosting users.

Make sure you read your contracts . . . and then read them sideways.

Fleshed out my wiki node OnLove, adding a guide to going after or making friends with me.

I'm resurrecting my GeekPoetry archives as a wiki node.

Added some more notes on faking emacs21. Local wiki node EmacsCvsAndDebian, canonical location http://www.emacswiki.org

Destiny down again. Problems with cable signal. Of course, I forgot to take down their number...

I tried calling the office number again. Not picking up. I guess she'll e-mail or text me details for the radio interview.

The Internet: due March 31 Computer Science Education: due April 14. http://www.acm.org/crossroads/doc/participation.html

HTML http://www.acm.org/crossroads/submit Between 1500 to 6000 words for a feature article, and

800 to 3000 words for an opinion column.

In the beginning of your article, tell the reader--in a captivating way--what your article is all about. Be sure to place your article into a broader context. Remember, our audience is composed of informed, multidisciplinary students. Readers must first learn the context of your subject before they can understand how your work changes the field or affects their decision making process. Anecdotes are entirely appropriate.

Acronyms do not take articles. Active voice replaces passive voice whenever possible. Systems, programs, commands, routines, and so on, however, appear in small capital letters. Use he/she, not he or she alone. If possible, rewrite sentence to use 'they'. Use the singular pronoun I (not we) for a singular author. Use that in restrictive clauses (those without a comma) and which in nonrestrictive clauses (those with a comma). Use while to mean "at the same time" and although to mean "in spite of the fact."

Well, I'm done with the website redesign, so I'll go and upload it now.

emacs-wiki-contents tag cannot be put in the header, because it gets evaluated after the headers have been expanded.

Maybe I can "publish" to an intermediate file format (replace BBDB and Gnus links, for example), and then use PHP's file-reading to handle it. What do I want? I want to be able to have a table of contents floating on the right, to give people an overview. I want to be able to offer easy Previous Day / Next Day navigation.

Bah. Perl script to update links. Foo.
