Hi there,

I'm the author of AvantSlash (for my sins). As you have noticed the entire domain has gone up in smoke after the owner of the server I was running on had a hissy fit and deleted my entire account.

This meant the loss of about 200 emails, my photo album (comments, not the photos, thankfully), three domains and all associated PHP and Perl with them, four very popular hosted pages, two popular web applications, the entire AvantSlash code, five personal applications and a tonne of things that were "work in progress". So a lot.

I'm trying to get the site up and running again (just waiting for the domain to get transferred to a new host who doesn't suffer from the male version of PMT) but, at present, I'm unsure as to whether I can continue to host the code. This is for two main reasons:

1. I don't actually have v3.0 or v3.1 code any more!!
2. I don't know how much bandwidth the live site uses. If it's too much, then I may need to ask someone else to host it.

If anyone has v3.0 or v3.1 of AvantSlash, then I would really appreciate it if they could email it to me. I tried asking on Slashdot (post here) but saldy didn't get much of a response. If anyone does have it, then my address is silver followed by the @ sign, followed by ewtoo.org

Many thanks for your patience.
