I am in the prcess of retiring Ching's World. This means returning my ip address back to my isp and re-directing the domain to a static page which will serve as its internet presence, a mere ghost of its former self. It also means powering down my servers and going back to the lower bandwidth that I had contracted from my isp. It was a sad feeling at first, a feeling of loss and defeat. I could comfort myself with the thought that Napoleon Bonaparte himself had occasions to retreat strategically in order to conserve and consolidate his forces.
I could derive some consolation from that thought but the fact of the matter is, I have brought Ching's World to where it could go and now, I am unable to support its continued existence in the luxury of its own dedicated servers. It has been a great experiment and the lessons learned from it will remain cherished and remembered long after it is gone.
The domain itself is registered until January 26th and I do not know if I will have the luxury of keeping it longer than that.
