service offerings

i previously offered services for friends and forum members but with the services that are available online for free, there really isn't a need anymore. here is where you can find similar services for free:

• shell accounts - chunkhost offers free VPS "chunks" where you can run and install whatever software you wish. they are small in terms of CPU and hardware you get for free but depending on the number of referrals you get, you can increase your free chunk's capacity.
• web hosting - hosting of basic images can be accomodated by imgur. if you need hosting of other content, it would be a great learning experience to use a chunk from chunkhost to run your own linux based server.

utilities

i have a number of utilites available (see above in the utilities menu) such as a dig lookup, whois lookup, and debian package search. my 30 day file upload utility is limited by username/password so if you'd like to use that, contact me. typically something like imgur would work just as well for images.
