			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve heard time and again that English is a <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn1233-english-is-toughest-european-language-to-read.html">difficult</a> <a href="http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Literacy/reading.asp">language</a> to <a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_english_a_difficult_language">learn</a>.  However, during my stay in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria">Austria</a> (where English training is mandatory for all students), most people I talked to expressed their view that English was a very easy language to learn, especially compared to their native language, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language">German</a>.</p>
<p>This <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DS">DS</a> game is clearly the reason why:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At long last, Freakified.net has returned!</p>
<p><strong>So, what happened?</strong><br />
<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-153" title="Frozen Midnight Home Page" src="http://www.freakified.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/11286.png" alt="Screenshot of old Frozen Midnight home page" width="200" height="150" />Well, after <a href="http://www.frozenmidnight.com">Frozen Midnight Hosting</a> <em>(link still dead as of this writing)</em> happily took my money, I was provided with some stellar service involving quite a bit of <a href="http://www.freakified.net/news/the-ultimate-web-host/">downtime</a>.  However, during my <a href="http://salzburgcollege.edu">journey abroad</a>, both Freakified.net and all of Frozen Midnight&#8217;s corporate sites went down completely, the latter being replaced with <a href="http://www.godaddy.com">GoDaddy</a> parking pages.  After I returned, I began calling the owner&#8217;s personal phone number (which I had obtained from an excellent, free <a href="http://www.whois.ws/">historical whois database</a>, and leaving voicemails.  I never received a response.  Sending emails was also pointless, as all the domains at which they were hosted no longer existed.  So I was stuck without a working site, and, more importantly, without control of the Freakified.net domain.  (Having been registered through Frozen Midnight, I didn&#8217;t technically own the domain.)</p>
<p>As a last resort, I decided to try using internet phone directories to find potential alternate contact lines.  After a few hours of searching, I was only able to dig up a single piece of information: the owner&#8217;s mom&#8217;s phone number.  Reluctantly, I called the number, and the person who answered was (understandably), rather pissed off that I&#8217;d called.  Nevertheless, she took down my info.</p>
<p>The next day, the owner of Frozen Midnight finally called me back, saying that he&#8217;d received a call from his mom, and that he would begin the transfer as soon as he had the necessary information.  I thus left a message, and within a few days, I received an email notification from GoDaddy saying that the domain had been pushed onto my account.</p>
<p><strong>As of today</strong>, Freakified.net is now hosted on <a href="http://www.hostgator.com">HostGator</a>, which had already impressed me with their service.  Hopefully, they won&#8217;t turn out to be another Frozen Midnight.</p>
<p>In conclusion, Frozen Midnight is the greatest hosting company ever.</p>
