Live website monitoring with Site 24x7
Have you ever owned a website and decide to log on to one day to check it out, but can't because it's down? I have, and it's not cool. Especially since you have no idea how long it was down for, or what exactly happened.Enter Site 24x7, a website monitoring service that checks the online status of your web property 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This online tool makes HTTP/HTTPS requests at regular intervals to see if your website is online and operating properly. Through this feature you can also see the response time it takes for the connection to be made to your site. When your pages change, when your website is down, or response times are slow you can be notified instantly via SMS or email. The Site 24x7 service is currently free during their beta phase, and will have special commercial versions available when it is out of beta.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
