title: 'Store is Being Shutdow'
---

My server has recently faced a massive hardware issue that caused it to 
go down. As a result, my sites have not been available. One of the 
webpages that was not reachable due to this problem was my online store.

While I was reaching for my backups I started wondering if bringing it 
back was worth the effort. Truth to be told, I am not generating 
meaningful traffic from it (much less a profit) but it still requires 
regular maintenance. I realized I wasn't in the mood of restoring the 
store in order to keep working on it in exchange of no sales.

So that's it. If you want to keep reading my stuff, you are welcome to 
join the IRC channel #techponies at the Canternet IRC network(!). I am 
also reachable in DOVENET Entertainment, if you happen to know how to 
use a BBS.

This website will be kept available for archival purposes for the time 
being.

Thanks for reading!
