Petzold Book Blog – Dear EarthLink Customer Support

It seems that IT problems are not limited to large corportations, or are they?
Charles Petzold (not only of “Windows Programming” fame) recently got his charlespetzold.com domain hijacked by his former ISP.
So if his web-site looks like an earthlink advertisement, just load his web-site by IP-address (http://140.174.69.91/).
He wrote an hilarious blog entry about this: Petzold Book Blog – Dear EarthLink Customer Support.
All of his material (both computer and other stuff) is recommended reading.
