So I sent an email to Portland, my old host, requesting that they reset my password, as the password reset thing on their site is very much broken, and 24 hours later my account has been deleted. So fuck them. Blogspot doesn’t have ads and isn’t run by asshats, so it fufills all the requirements I have of a hosting provider right now.

Speaking of the word fuck, there’s a fascinating article at wikipedia on the topic. Most interestingly, the article brought to my attention Cohen v. California, in which the Court ruled that “ … public display of [the word] fuck is protected under the First and Fourteenth Amendments and cannot be made a criminal offense. ”This would have been interesting to know when I was younger and more dangerous.
