Anyone know why Squeak.org is down?

Yup. I know. Because I was the culprit :-(
I used to pay for the three boxes I run, including the machine called 'box2' which holds all of the Squeak business, with my credit card. Then my credit card got stolen, I blocked it, so I had to make manual transfers each month until I got around a place with a fax where I could send the hosting company a new authorization fax (the hosting company being German, they want paperwork for all this stuff).
Then I got sick, and didn't catch up with email more than once a week, and in the deluge of spam etcetera I missed the notices by the hosting company until the third notice last week which basically said "and now we've disconnected your machines until you pay". Which, being German, they did...
Anyway, I paid and I am going to put transferring the machine to Squeak e.V. at the top of my priority list so this won't happen again (they can probably just authorize a German 'bankeinzug' - direct debit - which is way, way easier).
My apologies for this.
Regards,
Cees

Yes, this should be no problem to set up.
