Site is currently down for me, presumably deluged by traffic. A Google cache exists, but at least on Chrome it still needs to load something from pvk.ca before it displays any portion of the webpage. Therefore, here is the page source with most of the markup removed; you can get from it some idea of what the page is about.

It looks like he (accidentally?) included a gigantic scanned image in the post. However most of the comments on the last pvk.ca post submitted here were also about how it's down (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7286655), so the blog config/hosting might just be borked.

Google Cache seems to always try to load the images and hang for a while if the site is unreachable (not sure why, since if the site were reachable I wouldn't be on Google Cache in the first place). You can click "text-only version" in the top-right to stop that.

  • Thanks for the heads up on the scan! That's what I get for publishing just before rushing to dinner.

    The blog is just a bunch of static files, so there shouldn't be any issue. This situation is really annoying; I'll figure something out soon.
