So my parents changed ISP, and during this process, they changed modems. New modem means new firewall, and lets just say that my parents aren't exactly firewall-configuring wizards.

So I know what you're thinking, "You expect me to believe that it took you two weeks to talk your parents through forwarding ports 22 and 80 to your server, which was infact online the whole time?" ...No, I don't really expect you to believe that, but it's true.

Now I know what you're thinking, "Quit being a cheapass and buy a damn VPS or at least a webhost already." But I assure you, having my own webserver running out of my parents' house is better! Here's a list of reasons why:

1. I have my own webserver.
2. I can brag about #1.
3. My blog can be brought down at the whim of my cat.

Hmm. Maybe I should get a VPS.
