Jonathan Walsh

Jonathan Walsh (born January 14, 1989), nicknamed Jinro, is a retired Swedish professional StarCraft 2 player. He lives in South Korea, and played for Team Liquid in the GOMTV Global Starcraft II League (GSL). Jinro used to live in the oGs (Old Generations) team house, which was due to an agreement between oGs and Team Liquid. With the breakup of oGs, Jinro has found a new house with fellow Team Liquid players TLO, Hero, and Haypro.[1] He plays as Terran. Jinro became the first non-Korean to reach the semi-finals in GSL Season 3.[2] Jinro then went on to reach the semi-finals a second time. So far, Jinro is the only foreigner to reach the Ro4 in GSL.[3] In November 2010 he won the Major League Gaming Starcraft 2 tournament in Dallas. His nickname comes from the Korean distiller Jinro.[4][5][6][7][8]

gollark: You would have to make the VPS periodically ping your website or something, and then if it is down for a sustained period update the DNS records via whatever API is available to point to itself.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: I *have* actually obtained a temporary job. This is unlikely to result in changes to osmarks.net operations.
gollark: Also, I have absolutely no idea where I could source replacements for half the hardware from.
gollark: osmarks.net is fairly reliable, except for the fact that my internet connection randomly fails occasionally, and my server's backups would take some time to restore from.
