Ripway file server is down

I discovered today that the Ripway file hosting site I used to upload all my handouts and assignments is down. I don't know if this is a temporary or permanent situation. I have e-mailed the folks at Ripway inquiring as to what is going on.

If it turns out the site is dead, I will need to upload all of my files again to a new server. I don't know when everything will be back up, as if your lives are like mine, it seems that on some days I barely have enough time to eat three square meals.

Ah the joys of teaching... and technology!

If anyone knows of a free and reliable file hosting site that allows direct links, please let me know.

http://www.scribd.com/ is pretty good, I hear, but I host my own files, so I haven't actually tried it myself. I first heard about this site from Nick Senger: http://www.nicksenger.com/blog.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

The Ripway server is now working again. The website said they were experiencing a "denial of attack," tech jargon for computer hackery.

I wish the folks at Ripway well. I don't want to upload all my files again... nor do I want to change all the hyperlinks in my prior blog posts!
