the network
We at akardam.net like to build things that people may find useful, and provide them for free. This requires some infrastructure. We believe the best way to excercise control over one's infrastructure is to own it and run it yourself - the "cloud" is very popular these days, but that term is just code for "someone else's computer". Doing it yourself is also a great way to learn - teach a man to fish, and all that.
This journey started many moons ago with a server in the garage on a DSL modem. Today, we operate our own autonomous system, just one network of many that makes up the global internet. Pretty cool, eh? More information can be found in our PeeringDB entry
As alluded to above, we're always looking for ways to help the internet be a better place, so if you run a project that you think we may be interested in supporting, feel free to drop us a line
While we do run our own network, we're not an ISP, so please don't bother us with inquries or solicitations regarding such things as IP transit, colocation, general web & e-mail hosting, etc. (Those go 'ker-sploosh' right into the bit-bucket)

akardam.net services status Is the network working? |
For those who may be curious about the technical side: The status page is designed to be simple and resiliant, as it has one (and only one) job to do - tell you what's up (or not, as the case may be) with akardam.net. It uses no dynamic content mechanisms whatsoever, just plain old HTML, and is independent of all core akardam.net services.
