Weblogs.com stops hosting blogs

Isn't it funny, I kept seeing people mentioning how upset they were about losing their weblogs.com sites thinking I was unaffected, and then I realised for years I've been using a redirect from australian.weblogs.com as one of the entry points for Aussie Blogs. Ah well. As with any free service, expect it to be pulled without notice, that's why I pay for almost everything net related that matters to me (email, spam blocking, dns hosting, applications, subscriptions etc), not to mention automated quadriple backups of everything important both online and offline. I can understand why Winer is doing this, and people have little grounds to complain. The amount of stress keeping stuff like this going, especially when it comes to cutting code turns from a labour of love to a pain in the ass as the years pass. Aussie Blogs stresses me out enough and that's tiny in comparison (NOTE: Aussie Blogs is still accessible through several other URLs).
