Don't worry, it wasn't a subtle (or unsubtle) dig at you :) The problem
is that I am working on the design for Jexus, which has now become a
document project management system a la Sourceforge.net. Unfortunately,
my training is in Java web development and most of the advanced features
(e.g. WebDAV) are not properly supported by PHP currently.
Currently, I'm hosting Freeroleplay.org through UKLinux.net, although I
have to admit that I'm not particularly enamoured with their service. I
frequently get grumpy, terse emails through and there's little support.
Considering its supposed to be a charitable ISP supporting open source
development, it's not particularly cheap either.
So, at some point I'll need somewhere to host it that's can have a
Servlet engine, preferably Tomcat with Apache. Potentially, I may be
swapping ISPs to Zen soon so I may be able to host sites myself if I get
my own static IP address which would be ideal.
Anyway, more on the new Jexus concept soon :)
