The Abston Church of Christ pages were taken offline some time ago because they
received more traffic than I can afford to serve. In the three days before I
took them down they received 32,000 visitors, and each visitor used an average
of somewhat more than a megabyte of bandwidth, and that doesn't even include
the images I had deeplinked to brickshelf.
How'd it get so much attention? The site was linked to more than a hundred
"weblogs" and other sites. If you don't know what a weblog is, try a Google
search for the term.
Today is the anniversary of my adopting Precious, the cat I dedicated the
project to. I had intended to mark the occasion by putting the site back online
in a form less interesting to weblogs, but when I got up this morning to do
that I thought of a new format that will take a while to implement.
It'll be back, though, soon enough.
