John, the names we could not recall were Tika (the barmaid), Flint (the dwarf), and Tasslehoff (the Kender).

The end of the year was pretty eventful in my neck of the eWoods. The Suck.com domain was apparently transferred to a domain parking services, causing a small panic in the Suck enthusiast segment (more influential than you might think) when the full Suck archives suddenly became inaccessible. But enterprising geeks sprang forth from the digital woodwork and produced a torrent of the entire archives, as well as a couple of live mirrors. No one yet knows why this went down, but everyone is finding comfort in the fact that we can still read all about drunken, regretful rabbits. Ride the torrent, share the Suck.

I suck at Internet time. While gathering URLs to linkify this post, I found that Suck.com now serves up the old content again. As you were.

Also, on new year’s eve, Last.fm had a drive failure and lost a sizable chunk of their data, causing yet another small panic, this time in the music recommendations via reputation engine segment (cooler than you might guess). John, as always, filled my heart with terror as he relayed to me that at least one month of listened-to tracks had been wiped from the face of the Internet, but it appears that the Last.fm guys have everything under control. The site is back up, although they are not accepting new submissions until they are finished restoring the data from what we can only hope is a painstakingly stashed backup.
