I got banned from my own server!

I was working on my other personal site ( http://www.penny-save.com/amcc ) and I was moving ALOT of huge files around to get it to work. At the end of the day, the site was looking magical. Earlier yesterday, I went to check the site and it appeared to be down, so I used an online tool to see if it is down for everyone or just me. Turns out that this is just another time where my server has banned me due to me using it so heavily that it thought I was trying to use a brute force hack on it.
If anyone wants to do me a huge favor, please go to tyreus.com and ask them to look into the auto-ban feature, since it seems to do this almost monthly to me now.
Just for the fun of it though... Here's what this page looks like to me now
So even though my hosting is up, everything is playing off REALLY funky for me.
The new design

I finally got around to redesigning my personal site today! As you can see, it is a sleek dark template that uses CSS3 heavily. Everything from border-radius, to @font-face, all the way to CSS animations. A sister design also launched at CustomizeWebs today. I'll be working on a few bug fixes over the next few days. If you have any comments on the design, good, bad, or ugly, feel free to leave them in the comments section of this blog post.
CSS3 needs fixed

CSS3 is great, but it's adoption and execution is just getting outrageous.
The first reason is that when you use the CSS3 spec, you will find that you have to write the same rule 3 times just to make your point. Each rule in CSS3 [currently] needs a different prefix for each rendering engine: Webkit (Chrome, Safari), Gecko (Firefox, Seamonkey), and the CSS3 standard spec.
The second issue with CSS3 is that it is very hard for the W3C to validate due to the reason above, which makes a great template, with great code, appear to be invalid to anyone who wants to see if your site is valid (Which is very important for web developers).
Although Webkit and Gecko make CSS ugly, Internet Explorer 9 plans to just use the standard CSS3 tags with no browser prefixes, which will help bring standards to this world of insanity.
