I can't ping ehrensteinland.com - the host does not resolve. So it still looks like a DNS issue.
Did you just change something, and the change has not yet propegated through DNS-land?
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
No, I've not changed anything, tommy, and that's the problem.
We're on a shared IP and I believe that's the cause of the frequent downtime the site has been experiencing. They say it has nothing to do with the IP but I'm not convinced.
I can access the site's control panel using the IP address, so I'm fairly sure it's got nothing to do with them rebooting the server, which is their standard excuse for any downtime.

Jessica, I added you to my Jabber contact list. It says "Waiting for Authorization."

Under Preferences, set up a Jabber account, using your Gmail address as the username, and talk.google.com as the server.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
requires Tiger, apparently.
No, these grapes aren't sour at all.

Jessica, I'm getting a "can't connect." I am using Gaim. Is there something I need to put in the "resource" area?
