The pictures on the site have unavailable for a while now. I use Amazon S3 for image hosting as my server’s connection is far from sufficient. I’ve setup a CNAME DNS record for files.lamielle.net to point to the proper Amazon domain. However, I’m having problems with this since I’m using 3 dynamic DNS services for redundancy. The two redundant services are just ‘secondary nameservers’ of the primary, this uses AXFR DNS record transfers. For some reason the transfers aren’t working as they should and DNS queries to files.lamielle.net are resoving to lamielle.net, not the proper Amazon domain.

Anyway, I’m working on it. As soon as I get things figured out I’ll have a few nice posts to throw up (one is almost ready as it is): bouldering, 4th of july, hiking, etc. Stay tuned!
