It is now for me too, so it's not just your routing. Got me concerned
because we (Sparkfun and Budget Robotics) use the same Web host
provider. Or at least we used to. My site is still up, and there's comes
and goes. Might just be their box.

Yes, they do good work. And it's generally inexpensive. We need more
good, inexpensive stuff!

Unfortunately, their MP3 breakout board is currently out of stock, but
the DOSonChip and MP3 board would make a good pair for playing
sound/music/effects on a bot. OTOH, the price together is a bit high.
They also do a VS1002 MP3/SD module, and the Rogue Robotics uMP3 board
is a good option for those going in that direction. Choices, choices...
